Environmentalists outraged over drilling commencement

Environmentalists outraged over drilling commencement Eric Carey. Several environmentalists expressed shock and outrage yesterday after learning that exploratory oil drilling by Bahamas Petroleum Company (BPC) commenced in Bahamian waters. Bahamas National Trust (BNT) Executive Director Eric Carey called it “duplicitous” and “hypocritical” as he said it pushes the country back years and goes contrary to the steps needed in addressing the effects of climate change that plague the country. “It’s an unfortunate and sad day for the development of our country because I think it takes us a step back into fossilized times,” Carey said. “We’re looking at fuels that are destructive and are a detriment to our own existence and it’s a sad day that as a country that is so vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, we have been to the United Nations and elsewhere telling the world that we are at risk, that we’re going to go under as the sea levels are rising because

AG defends gaming tax on Bahamians

Casinos make a greater contribution to the Bahamian economy than Gaming Houses NASSAU, BAHAMAS Attorney General Carl Bethel yesterday defended the implementation of a gaming tax on winnings for only Bahamians, indicating that casinos, which are exclusive to tourists, make a far greater contribution to employment and economic activity throughout the Bahamian economy. While presenting the Fiscal Strategy Report in the Senate on Wednesday, Minister of State for Finance Kwasi Thompson announced that starting January 1, 2021, the government will implement a long-planned gaming tax on winnings to help counter significant revenue losses. However, the gaming tax on winnings will not apply to casinos.

Pandemic has delayed courts | The Tribune

By EARYEL BOWLEG ebowleg@tribunemedia.net THE COVID-19 pandemic has added more backlogs to the courts, but Chief Justice Brian Moree, QC, said the judiciary is working its way through those cases which have been disrupted since March. At a contract signing with the Bahamas judiciary and Anchor Group, Chief Justice Moree said: “What I can say is that we have each division of the court system looking at the backlog and we’re attacking it two different ways. We’re looking at the backlog as it existed prior to March 2020 in other words prior to the major shutdown as a result of the pandemic. That was a pre-COVID backlog. That is an inventory which we have been managing for sometime and will have to continue to manage that.
