“Calls for the DPM to Resign – Davis insist PM has a duty to act against Turnquest”” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “There are calls in opposition circles for Deputy Prime Minister Peter Turnquest to resign from Cabinets over accusations made against him by two companies alleging his involvement in a reported $20 million-plus scheme.

Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Leader Philip Brave Davis said in a statement on Friday, Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis has a duty to act ‘when a minister does not do the ‘honorable thing’.

My question now is; aren’t the executives of the Progressive Liberal party (PLP) duty bond to act when one of theirs; in this case its leader, does not do the honorable thing?

While we have the leader of the opposition demanding that the prime minister do the “honorable thing”, we have Philip ‘Brave’ Davis, claiming to be a man of honor and not even attempting to answer accusations made against him in the Peter Nygard lawsuit, where he is accused of receiving bribes.

Under the subheading,

3. NYGARD has significant Power and influence in The Bahamas, resulting from his chronic Bribery and Bahamian Political contributions (page 40); item #125, (page 45), states; “Nygard was also close to Philip “Brave” Davis (“Davis”) and regularly met with him and paid bribes to him and his political aides,”

To date, the leader of the opposition has not addressed these accusation other than to label them as “FNM mischief”, which in itself is ridiculous.

Why does he not feel the need to address these allegations made against him in a lawsuit against a man being accused of sex trafficking of minors and even ‘sex slavery”?

The manner in which the leader of the opposition would call for the resignation of the deputy prime minister over accusations but himself would refuse to step down over accusations, within itself is hypocritical and duplicitous; if we are going to follow the standard set by the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) itself.

The opposition Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) seems to be giving us a preview of how they would govern with Philip ‘Brave’ Davis as leader; with an extremely jaundiced view of the application of the laws of The Bahamas, oddly it does not seem to be that much different than the way that the ‘old’ PLP governed.

And at this point is Philip ‘Brave’ Davis only proving to us that he is a man lacking honor?

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