Coming into office, about nine months ago, the Davis led New Day government made the pledge that it would stabilize the economy and ‘recuse’ the hurting people of The Bahamas.  Today, some nine months later; did I mention that already? Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Philip ‘Brave’ Davis makes the following commitment to the people of The Bahamas.

 “Prime Minister Philip Davis said yesterday the government will focus on stabilizing the Bahamian economy and bringing economic relief to struggling Bahamians.”  Wasn’t this what the reduction in Value-Added Tax (VAT) and the imposition of VAT on breadbasket items and medication was intended to do?

This “new” commitment was made yesterday as prime Minister Davis was questioned by the press concerning the rising crime rate that saw a four year old die due to senseless gun violence; another mandate that the New Day Government seems to be failing on but yet the prime minister seems focused on being a part of a CARICOM delegation to bring about the end to the violence in Haiti. 

No one is saying that this in itself is a bad initiative but at times you must take care of your very own door stoop first.

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