I would fervently defend our present government against anyone that claims not to be amazed and/or impressed by them on a daily basis, because this is one thing that this government has not been short on since coming into power in May 2012; unfortunately they have amazed and impressed many with utter incompetence, ineptitude and utter nonsense.  No one knew that it could ever be possible for anyone to get this bad but they have amazed and impressed us by showing us that they are fully capable.

“Roberts: Minnis is a big joke” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “Opposition Leader Dr. Hubert Minnis is ‘one big joke and cannot be taken seriously’, Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Chairman Bradley Roberts said yesterday.

He was referring to Minnis’ demand for full disclosure on the reported sale of Baha Mar’s assets after Prime Minister Perry Christie admitted that Cabinet did not know the identities of the principles of Perfect Luck Holding Ltd., the new Baha Mar owner.”

It was my understanding that ‘the deal’ was sealed [by the courts] until ‘the deal ‘was finalized; the Prime Minister announcement in Cabinet with suggest that it had been; “The Office of the Prime Minister said in a press release last week that the sale of the assets to Perfect Luck ‘followed a lengthy marketing process and the resulting sale of the assets to Perfect Luck were overseen and approved by the Supreme Court.”, so why do I now have Bradley Roberts saying, “Dr. Minnis and Mr. Peter Turnquest are….fully aware that the Supreme Court sealed the Baha Mar liquidation conclusion and will in due course unseal the same…….”, what now seems to mean not until the government feels that it is time, “………, and all details will be disclosed for the benefit of the public,”.

I reflect on when the Prime Minister said; “PM: Sealing of deals is quite normal – Perry Christie says it’s unrealistic to negotiate Baha Mar deal in media” – The Nassau Guardian (September 01, 2016)

Excerpt from this article; “Prime Minister Perry Christie said yesterday the Export-Import bank of China (CEXIM) made the application to the Supreme Court to seal the deal it signed with the government to get Baha Mar completed and opened, to allow the bank to finalize ‘sensitive negotiations’ for a new buyer.”

Hasn’t a ‘deal’ already been finalized to have Baha mar completed and opened?

Hasn’t the bank already finalized ‘sensitive negotiations’ for and with a new buyer?

The question now is exactly who is this ‘new buyer’?

But since Mr. Roberts opened this issue with a joke, I will end it with a joke; “Roberts said that the Free National Movement (FNM) is a stranger to transparency…” This from a man that chairs a party that has cut a ‘secret deal’ with a ‘secret entity’ and now refuses to inform the people on whose behalf they act, the details of said deal, not even seeming to know who they ‘cut the deal’ with or just not wanting the people of the Bahamas to know but then goes on to reference ‘tranparency’ and also refer to others as ‘jokes’; really?

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