I am so proud of the Hon. Theresa Moxey-Ingraham, and her recent public remarks regarding gambling for all adults in The Bahamas who wish to do so. She in on the money when she pointed out the waste of police resources in raiding web shops where peaceful and personal activities take place in a licensed environment.
It is a joke, and has always been - as the late Mr. Percy Munnings – a former chairman of the PLP, and others were allowed free reign in their day to sell numbers to a peaceful number-buying Bahamian community. There were few police raids then that made no sense - as they do jokingly today.
I agree with all Ms. Moxey-Ingraham had to say in this regard; and indeed - the time has come for us to amend our gambling laws so that Bahamians and other residents alike could gamble freely without having to look over their shoulders. We deserve it, and it is long over-due in my view.
The only thing that I do not agree with Ms. Moxey-Ingraham with - is her early retirement from Bahamian politics; especially in light of her ongoing crusade to fight for equal opportunities for those of her sex.
