My Morning Paper – September 24, 2016 – A Question of Personal Interest

“AG: I won’t be swayed by political objectives” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “After some of her fellow Cabinet ministers said they were disappointed in her stopping a private prosecution against Sandal’s Royal Bahamian top managers, Attorney General Allyson Maynard-Gibson shot back  late Thursday night, claiming she won’t be swayed by ‘political objectives’.

Minister of Labor Shane Gibson, Deputy Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis and Tourism Minister Obie Wilchcombe each said they were left in the dark about the nolle prosequi the AG signed on August 15.

They said they were disappointed the AG didn’t inform them about the nolle.

‘The attorney general in the execution of her constitutional duty is never swayed by the political objectives of her colleagues or anyone else,’ Maynard-Gibson said.”

Of course, the idea that given her past performance as Attorney General, that Ms. Maynard-Gibson can expect anyone to believe that ‘in the execution of her constitutional duty [she] is never swayed by the political objectives of her colleagues or anyone else is laughable and best and enough to make one’s skin crawl, as I sit her right now I have vague recollections of an unsolicited and unsigned ‘legal opinion’ that derailed an investigation into the misappropriate use of power by one of her colleagues but it does tend to show that the Attorney General is not swayed by the best interest of the people.

A question has a risen from this whole incident, and it is whether or not her decision in this matter was ‘swayed’ by any personal interest in the Sandal property?

This very same question was asked as it pertained to her actions in the Baha Mar situation that saw the construction of that come to a complete stop, having it ‘mothballed’ for over a year.

Of course, these are just questions at this time but as with all things of this nature, the truth is always brought to light.

The Progressive Liberal Party fails for one reason, it is within their nature.
