I must ask: Whether or not there is law and order in The Bahamas having read the lengthy articles in the newspapers over yet again the national lottery?
Not a single word whether the police or whoever is the appropriate law enforcement agency will uphold the law.
Is the silence of the Attorney General – the Commissioner of Police simply saying that they are totally impotent to adhere to and uphold the law?
Even the Church incredibly argues against lottery but seems unwilling to support the law by
declaring that numbers and illegal gambling must be closed down. Their silence indicates the intrusion in the moral backbone and fibre of the Church, I suggest.
If this massive illegal business is just then the law enforcement authorities are bound to obey the law – if we look the other way on this why not on cocaine, grass and everything else illegal?
Just trying to awaken the stupidity if that will make a difference then God be the glory!
