My Morning Paper 9th of April 2025 – An Odd Case of Deja Vu

First, it was the Exuma Moorings Scandal—49 mooring sites quietly approved for a 21-year lease by the Davis administration, signed by the Prime Minister himself. Only after public outrage did he swoop in with a “cease and desist,” as if he hadn’t just approved it weeks earlier.

Now? A $183 million no-bid road paving contract handed to a company linked to Bahamas Striping—again, quietly. Again, no competitive bidding. Again, outrage. And again, the PM steps in to “pause” the deal, claiming—wait for it—an administrative error.

Same playbook, different day.This isn’t transparency. This is a government hoping no one notices until it’s too late—then pretending to be the hero when caught.

Two scandals. Same minister. Same excuses. Same insult to public trust.

The PLP doesn’t stumble into these things—they are these things.

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