First let me give a definition of “undeliverable mail” for all the persons who seem to either not understand the term or wish to mislead others who do not understand the term.

“Undeliverable Mail” is usually mail that CANNOT be delivered because of incorrect or incomplete addresses or just illegible addresses.  This mail, being deemed undeliverable, if it cannot not be returned to sender because  of no return address then becomes property of the Post Office and is usually labeled ‘dead mail’ and stored away.

“Minister confirms undeliverable mail was shredded” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “Minister of Transport and Local Government Renward Wells confirmed that the postmaster general authorized the shredding of undeliverable last month.

‘Customers can be assured that the post office department takes the security and delivery of mail very seriously and that operations remain within the ambit off the law.’ Wells said in a statement.

‘To assist our efforts, all customers are encouraged to clear their private boxes regularly’

‘The Minister of Transport and Local Government has resolved that the standard of the post office will be restored to one that will regain respect of our international partners.’

He said the last deliberate destruction of undeliverable mail occurred on November 1 and 2.”

So what has been going in is a return to normal procedure but if this is the case then what is the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Member of Parliament for Englerston complaining about?

It would appear that former Minister and Aviation; Ms. Hanna-Martin, was alerted to claims of mass shredding that was taking place at the General Post Office and instead of taking the matter to the police to report the ‘illegal act’, she [Mr. Hanna-Martin] found it more prudent to raise the matter in the House of Assembly and I ask her and others that should be more aware of what is going on; how are you not embarrassed all the time as you lose your personal credibility when you offer such foolishness as grand malfeasances by the current Free National Movement (FNM) government and it turns out to be nothing out of the ordinary at all?  Is your reputation really worth that little to you?

Surely there must come a time when you feel some sort of shame about yourself but is seems that each and every time the people have thought that they have heard the last stupid statement from Her Majesty’s Royal Opposition; they double down and out do themselves and attempt to deliver them another undeliverable message.

THE END

 

This week has been primarily dominated by comments made by the prime minister when he suggested that he was not very concerned about a national strike threat.

“PM dismisses nat’t strike threat” – The Nassau Guardian – 05.12.2018

Excerpt from this article; “Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis said yesterday he is not concerned about any threat of a national strike, but more concerned about how the Saxon Superstars will perform in the approaching Boxing Day Junkanoo Parade.”  Even after it was suggested that these comments were taken out of context by a seasoned news reporter, the feeding frenzy continued.

It was my opinion that these comments, in their proper context, suggested that the prime minister was and is confident that the matters were being competently dealt with by those responsible for their resolution but what I find truly interesting is while is while most found this issue to actually be ran issue, there does not seem to be the same ‘appropriate’ outcry over issues which actually seem to be more important and pressing, in my opinion.

“Cameras broken at murder scene” – The Tribune NATIONAL Security Minister Marvin Dames said yesterday law enforcement will ‘go vigorously’ after those responsible for the two double homicides that occurred in the capital this week.  As Monday’s shooting occurred at Sandilands Rehabilitation Center, Mr. Dames also said he is working with a team to create a ‘robust policy’ to improve security at ‘all government properties’.

Mr. Dames also confirmed that Sandilands’ surveillance cameras were not working at the time of Monday’s incident.  He made the remarks yesterday following a graduation ceremony for inmates at [The] Bahamas of Correctional Services.  On Monday morning, Neil Deveaux and Ashlee Hilton were ambushed in their car as they attempted to leave Sandilands following a physical therapy session for Deveaux, who was shot several months ago.”

So let me just ask, if the CCTV system is outside the very gates of The Bahamas Department of Correctional Services are “not working” or were not at the time of this incident; then realistically what are my expectations in the rest of the system being operational?  While these may not save the lives of the two persons killed in this incident this should be a very real concern for all of us but yet we rather rant and rage about the prime minister not being overly concerned over labour disputes which are being addressed.

We as a nation are not really serious.
