Let's brainstorm here.... if you were PM for a year, what would your agenda be? Is there a disconnect between the politicians and The Bahamian ppl?

Ooh! I like this one...

JOB #1
Build a comprehensive 25 year plan for the future of the Bahamas

- Make it bipartisan and including of both political parties (& Kenyatta)
- Seek assurance that the plan will be carried forward regardless of the ruling party

good thread alert!

amend the anti- discrimination legislation against women
legalize gambling
legalize prostitution and marijuana consumption (they are victimless crimes)
put in place sound environmental policy and programs to ensure our country is on a green path...
mandate that school kids must know how to swim and sail before h.s. graduation
amend legislation to allow the P.M's cabinet to be appointed (a competence issue)


I could go on and on...

Just a guide: 4 items (1 year is short!)... I am going somewhere with this...promise :angel:

Thats 365 days to lock something down before the next PM decides to 'review' it and undo your work.
:D

organize a youth worker programme in the country.

It's ok to 'Re.' Alien. Adding ideas even better.... come on...flow with us...:bouncy:

my 1 year would start out like this. first i would go into the goverment and private schools of our country with the carbinet and listen to the students and hear their concrens. they is are future generation and they can ask questions to us as well and along with the meeting of other areas of society we will draft together a youth bill for the young people of this country. next on my agenda is to change the cirrclumn of education from the british standard to the american standard to help bring an effecient system of learning and also do a seminar to retrain teachers in new stanadard as well so they can be more prompt and work efficent in teaching it and lastly i would do an economic stimulus package for business industry of the country so that their is more money by the government during a slow period like we have now and show the country we are a very caring and loving government and we are reching out to every bahamian may it black or white.:):angel:

If I were PM for a year, I would have learned by then how easy it is to say all the things I would do while I wasnt PM!

I'm too cynical!
:(

1) Tax the numbers man dem - use the money for education and youth programs;

2) technologically upgrade government services;

3) renovate the hospital;

4) restrict the number of cars per household;

5) Legalize abortion.

Increase local government powers and elevate the laws to the constitution. Give Nassau its own City government, expand the Boundaries of the City of Nassau to include up to Goodman's Bay and bordering fox Hill, and divide the remaining urban area into seperate incorporated districts eg. Fox Hill, Gambeir, South Beach....at least four districts with their own elected councils. Central government would now have more resources and time to deal with more critical and relevant policy like foreign affairs, trade, and defence, and education.

Since it is only one year, begin the process of swaping diesel energy infrustructure for alternative energy options, solar being the main option. Starting with the family islands. Sell workable equipment to other countries that need plain old energy like Haiti and other carribean states. Send top Bahamian engineers to the nordic countries to learn and study the use of waves for energy. If I had more time they would return with foreign expertiese and personell to map out a plan to harness the wave energy, perhaps in the area of Andros, GB and Eleuthera.

Sell off Bahamasair if it still remains our national mosquito.

I'm with you CO..

I'd form a "BAHAMAS 2035" bi-partisan group to explore and examine every single facet of Bahamian development just like they did in Trinidad.

Then we would publish and legislatively PASS the document ensuring our commitment.

EVRY Bahamian would be asked to fill out a questionniare with their concerns MUCH like the census, but even more detailed!

The findings of the various groups (comprised of experts, eggheads and good ole common folks with horse sense) would be compiled, collated, copied and distrubuted nationwide. Talks on the plan,"BAHAMAS 2035" would be broadcast on TV and RADIO. EVERY person living in the country would be FULLY informed of our goals.

TOPS on that list would be EDUCATION REFORM!

Hang all convicted felons especially all those repeat offenders
These streets got to fix so that would soon be a priority
Revamp the entire police force because crap...some of them dirty as hell
Defense force needs to get serious so ill work with that
Our children are definetly a problem...no idea (how do u propose we deal with that)
