The Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) has had enough.
They have has enough of their former parliamentarians being charged and brought before the courts to account for allegations of misconduct and abuse of office, this must stop.

“PLP to ‘soon’ demonstrate” – Davis appalled by treatment of Shane Gibson” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Interim Leader Philip Brave Davis said yesterday that he is ‘appalled and outraged’ that former PLP Cabinet Minister Shane Gibson, who had injured his foot, was ‘dragged’ into court ‘hobbling’ and said PLP’s will soon be called upon to demonstrate over such inhumane acts.’

‘I am appalled and outraged at the way Shane Gibson, my former colleague, was dealt with by the police today (Thursday),’ the opposition leader said in a statement.

It is interesting that as we celebrate another Emancipation Day, we have the Progressive Liberal Party accusing ’someone’ of ‘slave shaming’ former PLP ministers.

The Progressive Liberal Party has yet again declared ‘war’ on the legal system by questioning simple and straight forward principles of investigations by the Royal Bahamas Police Force (RBPF).  Apparently it has become illegal or improper to investigate wrong doing by public figures and through these investigations to attempt to bring them to account for any allegations of wrong doing.

They seek to throw the entire system into array as they set out to challenge certain constitutionality’s  that have been the corner stone of some of the most sound and fundamental laws, if you are accused of wrong-dong and an investigation provides sufficient evidence to bring you in for questioning; then the police can detain you for questioning and charges can be bought against you for same said wrong doing; simply put you cannot question such fundamental principles because to do so would be to have the country choose between what is right and in the best interest of the country and what continues to make the Progressive Liberal Party look good because at this time with the manner in which this party has been ran, especially during the last administration, both cannot co-exist.

No, what is in the best interest of the country; having persons account for wrong doing and allowing the PLP appear as a corrupt free organization; we cannot allow both because you just cannot have it both ways 

And it must be made clear at this point that the police nor anyone else is making the Progressive Liberal Party seem corrupt as a political organization, but rather it is the organizations very own members through the allegations of wrong doing and their previous and current attempts to cover them up and have them hidden from the people which has created the perception of a corrupt organization.

It is amazing in the recent statement that the opposition leader has actually blamed the police for these ‘inhumane acts’ and not the leader of the Free National Movement, the Hon. Dr. Hubert Minnis, but as he goes on to claim to be ‘appalled and outraged’ at the way his former Cabinet colleague was dealt with by the police, I am sure that he will speak up and voice his ‘outrage’ for the other persons who have been ‘dragged to court hobbling’ or more importantly for the ones that never made it to court, only to be found dead in their cells.

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