National Security Minister weighs in on debate over granting bail to repeat offenders

 

NASSAU, BAHAMAS- Minister of National Security Wayne Munroe says that Chief Justice Ian Winder has agreed to push for more instances where bail is denied for those accused of committing serious crimes.

According to Bahamian laws, bail can be denied if the safety of an individual or the public is in danger, Munroe explained.

His comments come on the heels of the Attorney General Ryan Pinder recently stating that no amendments need to be made to the Bail Act.

Perhaps it’s time for a new attorney general. White man in a black society lacking the ability to read the writing on the wall is unfair and disgusting as it pertains to the cultivation of safer communities. This is the type of unreliable leadership that threatens all the liberties we not only desire but deserve to preserve and forge a better future in the Bahamas. I urge and I challenge the AG and all members of parliament and political influence to put monetary and personal gains to the side and do the right thing by the people. I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired with the these governmental entities telling me what they can’t do instead of doing what needs to be done. I bet you could impose a new tax, and not raise wages in less than 24 hours but cry like a baby cutting teeth when it comes to issues of crimes and saving lives. How many grandmother’s will have to die in this country before change is demanded and acted upon? If you don’t want your Grammy to die to anything other than old age I implore you to get out there together as one nation under God and take this country back from these inept and inadequate governments.
