The vitriolic responses to the remarks made by Dr. Hubert Minnis, Leader of the Free National Movement (FNM), in regards to the latest developments at the Baha Mar resort as it relates to its sale have been very interesting indeed.

I sit and wonder how many people actually realize that a question has been asked; but are either turning a blind eye to it all or are just too bitter to comprehend or maybe just wishing to deflect from the point being made by the question asked.

“Fitzgerald: Minnis needs more maturity on Baha Mar” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “Amid ongoing criticism from Free National Movement (FNM) Leader Dr. Hubert Minnis on the opening and sale of Baha Mar, Minister of Education Jerome Fitzgerald called Minnis’ statements ‘irresponsible’ and urged him to put aside his ‘ridiculous position’ on the Cable Beach resort for the April 21 opening.

Last week, Minnis pledged that should the FNM win the general election, it would execute a ‘real sale’ of Baha Mar to a purchaser that has the Bahamian people’s interest at heart.

As Minster Fitzgerald again opens his mouth to spew his normal nonsense, I again ask who authorized pump 10 and shouldn’t he be the last person to speak about what is ‘irresponsible’ and what is not?

Getting bad to serious matters; is Dr. Minnis implying for one second that the sale of the Baha Mar as confirmed by Prime Minister Perry Christie in December to Chow Tai Fook Enterprises (CTFE) is not ‘real’ and therefore the resort has no owner?

Is Dr. Minnis suggesting that the prime minister and the Progressive Liberal Party has lied to the Bahamian people yet again?

Of course there is a very simple way to clear this all up as FNM candidate for St. Anne’s, Brent Symonette says, “Tell Mr. Christie to come clean and clear all this up for us, then we can be sure on who owns what, if the property has been sold, if there is just an agreement; whatever is going on there.  Because until that is done everything that is mentioned is pure speculation.” – The Tribune

And speculation is what the Progressive Liberal Party are masters at, as their entire 2012 election campaign was nothing more that speculation; as the people have now come to see.  At this time they seem to be unable to be transparent and accountable to the people of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas and tell them if the property has indeed been sold.  There is a rumor that the sale has been put on hold pending the outcome of the upcoming election but as I have said this is a rumor but the Progressive Liberal Party government has the facts and should be able to clear all of this up.

So the question Minister Fitzgerald is a very simple one, has the property been sold?

 Will we ever get an answer?

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