NASSAU, Bahamas — Minister of Foreign Affairs Darren Henfield yesterday decried the ongoing chaos at the Passport Office, calling the situation “intolerable”, the Nassau Guardian reported March 20.
Over the past few weeks, Bahamians have faced long lines, overcrowding and disorganization at the Passport Office.
Although the office does not open until 8:30 a.m., some of them complained that they had been waiting outside from as early as 5 a.m.
“It’s intolerable that Bahamians will have to stand in long lines in the 21st century to simply get a passport,” said Henfield, who has portfolio responsibility for the Passport Office.
“We’re working actively in the industry to resolve and mitigate the situation as it stands now.
“We’re looking potentially at providing another space that will alleviate the burdens currently felt and experienced at the one single standing building that we have to do everything concerning passports. https://thenassauguardian.com/2019/03/20/intolerable/
