“PM: We’re cutting Minnis some slack before election – The Tribune

Except from this article; “Prime Minister Perry Christie warned Free National Movement Leader Dr. Hubert Minnis on Friday night that the PLP is cutting him some ‘slack’ before waging a campaign that highlights the terrible things this party members have said about him.

‘The people who are against him are at the people who was in his party,’ Christie said.  They’re the people who said never, never, never.  They’re the people who define him.  And we are going to give him all the slack he needs right now because in his own record, what every one of them said about him, and they really ought to know him better than us and he might as well know we are going to publish what they said about him.  So start working my brother and try to find the explanations for why they said so many things about you and no matter how much the newspapers try to shine you up and brush you off, they said some things about you too.”

So it seems that the Prime Minister and the Progressive Liberal Party have issued a warning to Dr. Hubert Minnis that they plan to publish and make public hearsay and rumor to further their political agenda and further deflect from their failings as a government because as the Prime Minister says; “…we are going to publish what they said about him”; and I say even if what is said is true it is tantamount to hearsay and rumor and suspect to suspicion.

I just would like to drop a few excerpts here before I proceed;

“Time for Christie to go” – The Nassau Guardian; December 4^th 2015

Excerpt from this article;”Former Immigration Minister Loftus Roker yesterday said he was disheartened by the idea that ‘the men we have elected to make it better are slowly destroying the country’.

He added that it was time for Prime Minister Perry Christie, 72, to step aside and ‘open up the field’ for new leaders.”

“Christie is delusional’ – Galanis: Time for new vision” – The Nassau Guardian; July 21^st 2016

Excerpt from this article; “Former Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) MP Philip Galanis said yesterday that Prime Minister Perry Christie is ‘delusional to believe that he is really the glue that us keeping the party together.”

With the country being reminded of these things and them not being hearsay but rather documented facts, I will now turn my attention to the Prime Minister in his capacity as Minister of Finance and address a few pressing issues that the country is currently facing. 

“Decisive measures’ call as deficit soars to $314m” – The Tribune

Excerpt from this article; “A key Minister of Finance adviser last night warned that the 112 percent increase in the half-year fiscal deficit to $314.2 million was an ‘early warning signal’ that the Government must take ‘very decisive’ measures to stabilize the national finances”; I really thought that at one point, largely due to the government’s tax reform measures [Value Added-Tax] that the deficit was in the decline but it seems to have gotten loose and raging upward at an alarming rate and the Minister of Finance , along with his office seem very inept at getting it under control; “112 percent increase within the half year”, so the question to the Minister of Finance/ Mr. Prime Minister ,as he threatens to ‘pull someone else’s file” is how can you bring about tax reform, collect over a BILLION dollars in taxes and still have the national debt out of control, the deficit running wild and the nations credit rating downgraded four times in four years, now standing at junk status but speak about what you will talk about what someone else said about someone?  Do you even realize just how ridiculous that even sounds?

In my opinion, Mr. Galanis and Mr. Roker are both correct in their assessment of you as there are others close to you willing to speak to your gross ineptitude and incompetence as the Minister of Finance.

Do you really believe that you are in any position to speak to anyone else’s performance, especially based on hearsay?

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