“Mitchell: D’Aguilar can’t have cake and eat it too” – The Nassau Guardian
Excerpt from this article; “The Free National Movement (FNM) especially Tourism Minister Dionisio D’Aguilar, cannot take credit for the success of Baha Mar, charged Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Chairman Fred Mitchell.
Mitchell’s comments followed the opening of the final phase of the multibillion-dollar Cable Beach resort and comments from D’Aguilar, a former Baha Mar director, admitting that this position has changed on the project.
I have to send this video out to all PLP’s today, to remind them to tell the story of Baha Mar and what the PLP did for Baha Mar.”
Senator Fred Mitchell, Chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) sent these remarks via a video clip while in Barbados.

First, let me go on record as saying I never understood the saying, “You cannot have your cake and eat it too”, then why have the damn cake have in the first place? But I digress.
I wonder if this story that Chairman Mitchell wants to tell or wants told are the censored versions of events or is he and his party willing to tell the entire, uncensored version, detailing the numerous mistakes made by the previous administration that actually forced this project to a halt for over a year and finally sent into receivership; like he sad and I quote “…..can’t have cake and eat it too.”
Indeed, Senator Mitchell you must take you must take the good with the bad, the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) as a party and a government has the propensity to act as if all that they touched turned into gold and this has never been the case.
What Senator Mitchell must understand is while he claims that Dionisio D’Aguilar ‘cannot have his cake and eat it too’ neither can the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) as it pertains to this project.
Now, as they stand before The Bahamian people to take credit for this project finally reaching fruition; are they willing to also take full responsibility and/or credit for the very reason why this project was stalled, sent into receivership and millions of tax payers money lost in the process.
Will they admit to their incompetence and ineptitude as a government in dealing with this matter or will they simply attempt to have the matter glossed over by time as they fight for the right to brag about this project’s apparent success?
This within itself is nothing more that rank hypocrisy, because as I am willing to give them the credit for this project, I would also like for them to take credit for ALL of it because you cannot claim the good without owning up to the bad; life does not work that way, well not in the real world.
