Prime Minister is not elected
This is so funny ...... Donald Trump is the US President even though 3 million (more) Americans voted for Hillary Clinton (than Trump) to be President ...... He won States, that gave him Electoral College seats to beat Clinton ....... so tell the whole truth.
Are we to vote on EACH island for who is to be Prime Minister, and the candidate who wins the most islands, should become the Bahamian PM???? ....... That sounds fair, right???????

NOONE DISAGREES THAT TAXES ARE DESPERATELY NEEDED TO REDUCE THE RUNAWAY NATION DEBT...INTEREST...FINAMCING COSTS....UNPAID BILLS...!!!!!!!!!!
What is unacceptable is that despite claims of widespread curruption...victimization...slackness...noone has yet gone to jail for the leak from the hole in the bicket to stop !!!!!
What is unacceptable is why the poor (pronounced pore) whichin unless you pore you dont understand the struggle ...sufferin....grinding poverty....that the 75,000 to 100,000 Bahamians ate going through. And why should they carry the load.....when the rich, connect, buddy, collecting regular paychecks and many govt agencies losing money continues to be propped up fron the sweat of the pore.
Start selling these govt agencies stead of tryinng to save yinna family friends who gets appointed to dese Boards they ate appointed to.
When businesses struggle they offload assets to gain cash to survive,pay bills...many Bahamian businesses do that.

The Government has not “closed its eyes” to concerns raised by environmentalists the Minister of Tourism said yesterday.

All these idiots do is tell us this and that - none of them actually DO anything other than tell us they're going to do something.

I must be honest and say that I didn't even bother to read this story. Once I saw a headline referring to Arawak Homes as a "victim", a busted out laughing and then went back to what I was doing at the time.

Hey Tal, what you gotta do is beat the Chicken every morning and cut its feed in half, and it'll lay more eggs. That approach works for Government........

I think in the end, Govt will choose only 10 telephone companies to be eligible to apply for a gambling license - LOL - and give them a "transition period" until the end of March.

Super Value to collect $20-$25m VAT for Gov’t
I have also heard the mis informed, who are always most vocal, Making erroneous statements and spreading mis-information. It is a shame that no one in government seems able to clearly state for them what they will see, nor does it help that most Bahamians have no clue to begin with. Simple math is beyond most. I have heard of complaints that duty free items are not supposed to attract VAT. Wrong. Duty free does not mean VAT free. Liquor has been Duty Free for years, but is not tax free. Liquor is cheaper in Florida! At the end of the day, the Government has failed in National finances, transparency, rule of law, crime control, and now, education on a new tax, instituted because of their failure to collect all the other taxes. Putting E.J. Bowe out there on a very public witch hunt is beyond reprehensible, especially having not educated him prior to his appointment. Incompetence with power is a dangerous mix.

Super Value to collect $20-$25m VAT for Gov’t
Mr. Bowe has no authority over movie ticket prices, so not sure what he can do except make noise , but I suppose he has to justify Government pulling him out of the retirement bushes somehow. Meanwhile, price hikes due to increased costs aught to wait until increased costs are actually experienced. Increasing costs at the same time as a new tax is implemented is not too sharp! Meanwhile, duty rates have dropped enough to be seen at point of sale so we shall see. Inventory levels at the old duty rates will be depleted at various times over the following months depending on the items movement. Mr. Bowe aught to be investigating and reporting his findings AFTER a conclusion is arrived at. Casting dispersions on peoples characters equates to lynching. Is one not innocent until proven guilty? or have we thrown that law out also?
