A message from the Prime Minister, Dr. the Hon. Hubert Alexander Minnis
"We can transform our inner city communities in ways only dreamed about ... This will involve inner city tax free zones. Our people must live in dignity. Habits that breed criminality must be fundamentally changed. If we are to change their lives, we must first start by changing their environment."
