Why I am in the fight for our natural resources.

Why I am in the fight for our natural resources:

Dr. Veronica McIver

Here are my opinions:

1) We need to acknowledge that natural resources exist.

2) Corruption within the Bahamas in my humble opinion has lead to deals ( past and present) that are not in the best interest of our people.

3) I don’t think the Bahamas has an adequate regulatory framework in place so that our bargaining power can ensure fair trades despite the fact that larger countries or private companies have the means to extract these resources more efficiently than us.

4) Historically, our Colonial legacy like other smaller countries have left lasting imbalances and resource ownership.
Colonialism now becomes Neocolonialism for Bahamas.

5) Larger countries have high demands for natural resources to sustain their economies. They will exploit smaller countries like ours (if we let them) for their greed and self preservation.
What about our profit and self preservation to empower our people?

THIS IS WHY I AM IN THE FIGHT POLITICALLY— TO MAKE SURE DEVELOP MY BAHAMAS MORE AND BRING RELIEF TO MY BAHAMIAN PEOPLE. Please join me in this fight.

To God be all the Glory great things he hath done. 🙏🙏
