“PM: Gibson to be judged by performance” – The Tribune

Excerpt from this article; “Addressing criticisms of his appointment of Minister of Labour Shane Gibson as national coordinator for the hurricane restoration process, Prime Minister Perry Christie said yesterday Gibson will be accountable to Cabinet and the House of Assembly, and ultimately will be ‘judged on the basis of what he does’.

First, before I proceed, I must put this into context by adding the criticism by Dr. Minnis;

Excerpt from this article, “Opposition Leader, Dr. Hubert Minnis, raised questions about Christie’s decision and Gibson’s ability to lead the restoration efforts following Hurricane Matthew without political bias.

But Gibson has said he is dedicated to the job and will not ‘rest until everyone gets the help they need in a timely fashion, regardless of political preference.”

I read this story and smiled to myself, because while Dr. Hubert Minnis seems to be addressing the issue of the lack of bi-partisan collaboration in this national effort, the Prime Minister seems to have put Shane Gibson’s neck on the line, in terms of the slow going hurricane restoration process, actually minister Gibson seems to have offered his neck.

It would seem odd that at the very same time while they would proclaim that a person should be judged by their performance on a job; over the past four plus years Mr. Gibson, along with the Prime Minster and the rest of the Progressive Liberal Party administration have spent a lot of their time denying their failures as a government based on their performance; it is simply an amazing thought.

Will the Prime Minister now be satisfied with the fact that his administration will be judged based on their performance; and to date most are not judging them to kindly; or will he again take the attitude which he took after the failed Gaming and the failed  Gender Equality referenda, and say that it is not reflection on his administration..

Will Minister Gibson, if he were to fall short, then be seen as a failure unto himself, so that it does not reflect poorly on the entire Christie administration?

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