We need a Bahamas where pirates are not in control

By Dennis Dames

I am impressed by Jamaica’s political maturity - when I consider it to that of the sluggish nature of Bahamian politicans and politics in The Bahamas. For example, I think that the system of national checks and balances in Jamaica is far more advanced than that of The Bahamas.

For instance, when I read about the Integrity Commission in Jamaica – I smile, because it would be like an unwanted hassle-breaker to Bahamian politicans! They would therefore not want any part in establishing such an honorable national office – in my humble view.

Our very our media and Bahamian people are still advocating for a simple Freedom of Information Act – after all these years of slick promises from no-good Bahamian politicans and national leaders.

We need a total rejuvenation of Bahamian politicans and in Bahamian politics in The Bahamas - in my dear opinion, because what we have been working and living with since 1973 is grossly inadequate for a solidly prosperous future for our beloved posterity and nation.
