My Morning Paper – February 21, 2017 – Who authorized pump 10?

“Fitzgerald slams Rollins as a ‘political prostitute” – The Tribune

Excerpt from this article; “Fort Charlotte MP Dr. Andre Rollins’ pronouncement that he is prepared to swim in his ‘own vomit’ in order to make things right with the FNM to ensure a general election win over the governing PLP, verifies that he is nothing more than a ‘political prostitute,’ according to Marathon MP Jerome Fitzgerald.

In a strong critique of his former PLP colleague yesterday on the sidelines of the grand opening of the new Sandilands Primary library and technical lab, Fitzgerald said Dr. Rollins would do whatever it takes to salvage his short political career.”

The minister of education aid Dr. Rollins has done a great job distinguishing himself as a ‘political prostitute’ extraordinaire,’ one that is sure to go down in the annals of history as ‘someone who jumped from pillar to post to no avail.”

The Hon. Jerome Fitzgerald has had a lot to say as of late and my first question now is “Who authorized pump 10?”

j-fitzgerlad

What strong language from the Member of Parliament for Marathon as he condemns Dr. Andre Rollins for this latest actions which he [Dr. Rollins] claims are the great efforts that he is willing to go through to rid the country of the present Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) government, which we all can agree on have been nothing but an abysmal failure since taking office on May 7th 2012.

Yes, Dr. Rollins has been around the block, politically, but what is really behind this fervent stance that he has taken against the PLP, wherein he is willing to seek to join forces with a man that he once declared to have no confidence in, to rid the country of the Progressive Liberal Party, a political organization that he was once a part of and considered him a ‘rising star’ and part of its ‘bridge to the future’.

We must remember that Dr. Rollins has indeed been in the ‘belly of the beast’ and had come to know ‘the ways’ of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) and it takes a lot to now want to ‘swim through your own vomit’ to get back just in order to rid the country of the party that you once were a part of; just ask Prime Minister, Perry Christie, who at one point stated that he would ‘swim through his own vomit’ to get back to the PLP, a party from which he was once expelled, having no other motive to rejoin this party other than to advance his political career.

While Minister Fitzgerald now seeks to diminish the character of Dr. Andre Rollins, I must remind him that he was the one that choose his political career over the lives of his constituents to stay in good standing with the governing Progressive Liberal Party [to keep his job]; he should be the last person to speak of political prostitution.

 Minister Fitzgerald should also be very mindful of the fact that not only does the act of jumping from pillar to post makes one a ‘political prostitute’, but also the act of going against the best interest of the people that have elected you to serve the best interest of the party that you are a member of, all in order to save your political career, can and has also made you, Minister Jerome Fitzgerald, a ‘political prostitute extraordinaire’; therefore you should be the last one to talk.

Someone needs to shut of pump 10, it may be leaking.

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

My Morning Paper – February 16, 2017 – On The Verge…..

A mere months away from the next general elections, now since that the boundaries report has been tabled under suspicious circumstances, the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) releases a new crime plan in an attempt to make good on a promised that they have failed to fulfill and my only thought is, AGAIN?!

“RBDF to join crime fight” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “The Royal Bahamas Defense Force (RBDF) is being called on to work with police to fight crime in response to a recent round of violence on New Providence that has left many people calling for authorities to take stronger action.

Minister of National Security Dr. Bernard Nottage outlined a set of crime-fighting measures in the House of Assembly yesterday, two days after Prime Minister Perry Christie likened the situation in New Providence to ‘the Wild West’.

Between Friday night and Monday morning, seven men were shot dead on the island.

Nottage said that in all cases in which people have been charged with possession of an illegal firearm and/or ammunition, the prosecution will object to bail.

There are also plans for the increase in foot patrols in crime hot spots; the aggressive stop and search of suspicious people and vehicles; and the activation and placement of specially designed mobile police vans to serve as manned police stations in communities where violent crimes take place.

Nottage said the police force has two such specially designed vans.

This was the first time the national security minister has publicly addressed the recent crime spree.”

bj-nottage-pray

The first thing I would advise of the police officers, get your money sorted out before you work any extra hours, because the Minister of State for National Security, the Hon. Keith Bell, already has an appeal in the courts at this very moment to not pay you for the overtime that you have already worked when the government tried these ‘new’ crime measures before, because let us be truthful, the Minister of National Security, as he finally breaks his silence on the recent crime spree, seems to be repeating most the same crime initiatives that he has tried before and that failed but then went on to blame the Commissioner of Police and those under his command for the initiatives failing.

Now the Minister of National Security hints at the implementation of some sort of curfew and ‘aggressive police stops’ of ‘suspicious’ vehicles or persons, I think this idea was kicked down the road a few times but it has yet to be worked out just how you would implement the lock down of the entire country or crime ‘hot spots’ and how would this reduce crime; because this does not change criminal behavior, as it only eliminates the opportunity for crime.  Then, of course there is the problem of young men feeling targeted and beginning to think it is now ‘us against them’, as the Minister of National Security has never mentioned, to my recollection, the fostering of a friendly relationship between the community and the police which is a very important tool in the reduction of crime and criminal activity.  What has not worked is this concept of community policing; wherein the police show up on foot patrol only when a ‘new crime plan’ is released, there is no consistency to it and therefore no true fostering of a genuine and trusting relationship between the people of any community and the police especially in the inner cities or areas marked as ‘crime hot spots’.

So, in my opinion the Minister of National Security, Dr. Bernard Nottage, has ‘missed the boat’ on this again, along with his entire administration and as they now stand on the verge of all out civil unrest they now have gone back to a crime plan that has failed them in the past to give the appearance that they are actually doing something, when they are actually not and at the point of making things a lot worst.

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

My Morning Paper – February 15, 2017 – Not About Politics

“Roberts: We all must be a part of the crime solution” – The Nassau Guardian 24th January 2017

Excerpt from this article; “Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Chairman Bradley Roberts yesterday said that crime is a challenge to all administrations and suggested a national approach to the problem.

‘We all must be a part of the solution on crime’, said Roberts in a statement released after the Free National Movement (FNM) held a press conference highlighting what it views as the Christie administration’s failure to adequately address crime in the Bahamas.”

It is amazing that shortly after making this statement the leader of the Progressive Liberal Party, Perry Christie, and the Commissioner of Police, Ellison Greenslade seem to be at odds over the country’s crime situation.

peery-and-greensalde

“Top cop and PM divided on crime: Greenslade: Bahamas is not in crisis” – The Tribune

Excerpt from this article; “Despite the country recording 10 homicides in 13 days, Commissioner of Police Ellison Greenslade said the Bahamas is not in a state of ‘crisis’ and the average Bahamian can continue to ‘go about their day as normal’ day without the fear of being attacked.”

“Christie: It’s the Wild West” – The Tribune

Excerpt from this article; “Prime Minister Perry Christie yesterday likened the Bahamas’ crime situation to the ‘Wild West’, as he said the recent murders in the capital must solicit a ‘major’ and ‘continuous’ effort by his administration to ‘flood the streets’ with officers b a bid to do ‘all that is necessary to bring the madness to a halt.”

I actually believe that for once that the Prime Minister has gotten something right, yes; Commissioner Greenslade we are in crisis and it is not about the ramblings of Bradley Roberts who has seems to have forgotten the infamous ‘murder boards’ of the 2012 election campaign but it is really about the failure of the Progressive Liberal Party as a government to put in place the proper policies and effective crime fighting initiatives as promised, working along with the police force.

Now we have these two men, the Prime Minister and the Commissioner of Police (CoP), pointing fingers at one another without any action from the Minister of National Security along with the Minister of State for National Security, who both have been extremely silent on the matter.  The last time that Keith Bell, Minister of State for National Security, weighed in was some about April of 2016 when he made the wild claim that the governments crimes plan had not failed put suggested that they were not properly implemented by the CoP and his staff; all of this while people continued to die in the streets, literally.

The people trusted the Progressive Liberal Party when they said that they had a plan to make the country safer and under their watch the situation has become dire.  The people would like to know, where are the crime plans that they promised and when the Chairman of the PLP talks about us ‘all being a part of [the] crime solution’, isn’t this one of the main objectives of the Urban Renewal program?  Is he now conceding that the initiative failed the people that he once promised it should have ‘saved’?  Is the deafening silence from the Minister and Minister of State for National Security also a sign of them conceding to failure in this matter?

bell-and-nottage

The Progressive Liberal Party promised a lot on this issues, along with many others, but have delivered very little and now they claim to be the best choice going into the 2017 election, asking for another years to fixed the problems that they promised to have once had the answers to but have only made so most worst.

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

My Morning Paper – February 10, 2017 – Questionable Legislation and Questionable Motives

Finally it would seem that the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) government is making an attempt to put some framework in place to justify the existence of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA), which has operated for the past four plus years without any legislation.  There also seems to be an attempt to now cover up some blatant wrongdoings carried out by this government during this administration.

“Bid to intercept letters, emails – Bill tabled to allow police to snoop on communications” – The Tribune

Excerpt from this article; “THE government has tabled a bill in the House of Assembly that aims to create a ‘single legal framework’ that would allow the Commissioner of Police to obtain a warrant from a judge to intercept and examine a person’s communications from telecommunications operators, internet providers and postal services for a period of three months.

According to the Interception of Communication Bill, 2017, which was tabled on Wednesday night, this would be done in the ‘interest of national security,’ which is defined as protecting the country from ‘threats of sabotage, espionage, terrorist acts, terrorism or subversion.”

investigate

First, I would like to note it is being suggested by the government itself that they have already had an entity up and functioning and now seeks to “create a ‘single legal framework’ for it, which would mean that the government is now conceding that this entity has been operating illegally.

The definition of “in the interest of national security” is almost laughable as it is extremely broad and far reaching and invites the Commissioner of Police with the permission of the Attorney General’s office, to at times, violate the Constitution of The Bahamas; allow me to explain because I can already sense persons getting angry or just simply confused.

Question; how does one determine what is in the best interest of national security and what is an act of subversion?

Subversion: the undermining of the power and authority of an established system or institution.

This takes me back to the Save The Bays case and the ‘leaked emails’ that were tabled in the House of Assembly by Education Minister Jerome Fitzgerald with Minister of Foreign Affairs, Fred Mitchell in tow.  In this case these ministers attempted to make an argument that Save the Bays was not really an environmental group but rather a ‘terrorist’ organization with the aim to destabilize the Progressive Liberal Party government, an accusation that he has yet to prove.

So now, let us take that case and place in at a place in time where this bill, which has just been tabled, is actual law, now ask yourself; could the government make a clear case that this organization was actually attempting to destabilize the government and thereby obtain the necessary permission  from the Attorney General to then be able to access their emails?, because even the ‘Hon’ Jerome Fitzgerald admitted to needing the emails, which he obtained by questionable means,  to make his case.

Who would decide what is in the best interest of the country and exactly what would be required of them to make a case to a judge to obtain a warrant in the first place?  These questions need to be answered as the bill seems to be a bit too open-ended and open to interpretation for my concern. 

“To receive such a warrant, it must be proven that the information to be inspected cannot be acquired by any other means, the bill notes”, I guess now this in the end to the ‘political garbage can’ and receiving others persons personal information in ‘sealed envelopes’, which just magically appear from ‘somewhere’.

“The Attorney General would also have to be satisfied that the warrant is needed in the ‘public interest or interest of justice”; so according to this law if I were to receive information that ‘someone’ had communicated the desire to have several persons killed; it then would be fully investigated, or will I then be vilified and made the person of interest according to who the accusation is made against?

This we will have to wait and see; I am not saying that this law is not needed or necessary but I am saying that in light of recent events; I do not feel that as written, it will or can fairly be applied especially by this present government and I also feel that it would be necessary for the position of Attorney General to be independent of any political organization and therefore be a position where one is elected and not appointed

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

My Morning Paper – February 08, 2017 -With Friends Like This…….

While after seeming to concede to the fact that he has failed at his role as Minister of  Education, Science and Technology, Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) member of Parliament, Jerome Fitzgerald now sees it fit to defend Golden Isles member of Parliament and Minister of State for Finance; Michael Halkitis on his alternate factual accounting of how the revenue collected from Value-Added Tax (VAT) has been spent.

“Fitzgerald: We’ve done all we can to end school violence’ – The Tribune 31st January 2017

Excerpt from this article; “Education Minister Jerome Fitzgerald yesterday said the onus for recent violent incidents at school campuses must fall on the wider society, further lamenting that officials have done all that can to end school violence.

Mr. Fitzgerald in his first public comments on violent crimes at school campuses since the stabbing incident at the Government High School campus earlier this month which left one teen in critical condition and two others with injuries, said the presence of police and heightened security forces have dramatically ‘cut down’ incidents but the core issue spurring these matter had to be addressed in the community.”

First, the good minister has to quantify just how he has determined that the presence of police and security forces have dramatically ‘cut down; [these] incident and is he really saying that the problem is much bigger that we realize and knowing how serious it really is and has as in the Rubis matter, decided to sit back and do nothing?

  While it would seem that minister Fitzgerald is conceding that the programs that his government have implemented after the Progressive Liberal Party promised to have the answers because the Free National Movement (FNM) was unable to protect our ‘little darlin’s’; he now seeks to step away from this confession of his very own failing and thrown his body in front of Michael Halkitis, to protect him from the stones that have been directed his way after the semi-factual but highly entertaining accounting for the revenue collected from VAT.

“Fitzgerald defends Halkitis” – The Nassau Guardian 2nd February 2017

Excerpt from this article’ “Marathon MP Jerome Fitzgerald and members of the Opposition clashed in Parliament yesterday as Fitzgerald defended Minister of State for Finance Michael Halkitis over the recent explanation of the governments use of value-added tax revenue.

Fitzgerald says he felt compelled to address what he called misinformation about VAT spending and the ‘intellectual dishonesty’ of the opposition and the media on the matter, which he stress was simple.

First off, let be point out my amazement, Minister Fitzgerald, at your stealth to defend Michael Halkitis but your lack of stealth to protect the people in your very own community, simply shameful.  And while throwing in the towel over the growing incidents of school violence, you see nothing wrong with you stepping in to defend the defenseless; my brother you have your own problems.

So Minister if it were so simple why couldn’t Minister Halkitis break it down and explain it to the public; he has the requisite skill set to do so, unless….so since the Minister of State for Finance was unable to explain where the VAT money was going we will allow the failed Minister of Education, Science and Technology take a crack at it; “He noted that last June, the government laid out its budget. Indicating that VAT revenue accounted for 25 percent of the government revenue: “$625 million, 25 percent”

“That ain’t rocket science,” he said.”

“It is laid out in the debate.”

“Twenty five cents out of every dollar the government spends come from BAT.

“I mean, what’s so hard about that?

“A grade one student could understand it.”

So since it was pointed out that Minister Fitzgerald does not include finance matter maybe we can also allow another person without a financial background explain it the way that they understand it, since the Minister of State for Finance failed at explaining it.

“The reality is if his [Fitzgerald] numbers are correct, that mean the treasury is collecting at least $2.4 billion a year. Which means we should be operating a surplus and not a deficit, which means then, the budget what we came here to debate, which says they expect to collect $1.9 billion, if off by some $500 million, according to his poor math,” Rollins said”

Hold on 25 percent of government revenue is $652 million, so the total revenue is four times this amount which is $6.08 billion; so hold on Fitzgerald came to the rescue of his parliamentary colleague and seems to have failed even at this and now it seems that he and his government look even more suspect after claiming that they money collected went to pay for initiatives that it has been proven that the government borrowed money for?   

These kinds of friends you really do not need.

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

My Morning Paper – February 07, 2017 – Just for Entertainment

Today one of the elder statesmen within the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) made a statement which took a lot of us aback and left us in amazement.  We were/are amazed at the very thought itself and were left wondering if his thoughts reflected the general consensus of the party that he has dedicated his life and efforts to and who have, of course, retuned the favor.

“Sir Franklyn says VAT speech just ‘entertainment” – The Tribune Business

Excerpt from this article; “Sir Franklyn Wilson urged Bahamians not to take Michael Halkitis’s infamous “Where the VAT money gone’ speech too seriously because political conventions are for ‘entertainment’, rather than a serious discussion of national affairs.”

wilson

Indeed, we would like to know if these are just his thoughts or those of the governing Progressive Liberal Party, as they have seemed to reduced the act of governance to mere “Mother Goosery”; as their actions over the past four plus years would suggest that they have taken this stance to the governance of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas – that it is nothing to be taken seriously and nothing more than mere entertainment for themselves and their supporters.

While, Sir Wilson makes this statement in defense of the Minister of State for Finance, Michael Halkitis, he must realize that a lot of persons go to political conventions to hear their party’s achievement but more importantly; their plans moving forward, they do not look to be ‘entertained’ by members of the party especially when answering serious questions as to where over a billion dollars in tax revenue had gone but it would now seem that Sir. Wilson is suggesting that we cannot and should not take anything said seriously. 

This then brings the question of when can we actually take any member of the governing Progressive Liberal Party seriously?

It would be very interesting to now hear the Chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party’s Chairman, Bradley Roberts, response to Sir. Wilson.  I actually doubt that there would be any rebuttal but I await one.

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

My Morning Paper – February 03, 2017 – Reckless Disregard

It is totally beyond my comprehension, the manner in which Education Minister Jerome Fitzgerald continues to disregard of the law and the constitution of The Bahamas; while continuing to attempt to justify the tabling of private emails in the House of Assembly –  his explanation of how he came into possession of said emails even suggests that he should have known better.

“Fitzgerald: Political trash can was a sealed envelope” – The Tribune

Excerpt from this article; “Education Minister Jerome Fitzgerald has revealed that the Save the Bay’s emails he read and tabled in Parliament were printed out and delivered to him in a ‘sealed envelope’, adding that he did not know how the documents were accessed.”  In this statement the member of Parliament for Marathon suggests that he tabled unsolicited, and unverified information pertaining to the private lives of other citizens of The Bahamas; something that the minister has no explanation for but yet later goes on to say “he was at all times acting in the public interest”.

nr-JEROME FITZGERALDjpg

Is it indeed in the public’s interest to violate the constitution of The Bahamas by violating a citizen’s right to privacy in an attempt to prove a point that to date has yet to be proven and if Mr. Fitzgerald feels that he was acting in the public’s best interest by violating a person’s constitutional rights then I ask; can I acting in the public’s interest believing that the Progressive Liberal Party as a government is not good for the Bahamas then divulge personal information about any of the members of same said government that is sent to me privately without verifying if the information is truthful or not i.e. what I find in my ‘garbage can’?  Would this type of action be considered; right, responsible and even legal?  With that thought in mind, is it responsible for a person working out of the Attorney General’s office to act in such a reckless manner or would this be something that we would expect of someone with limited education?

I stand with Supreme Court Justice Indra Charles with her findings of wrong-doing on his [Minister Fitzgerald] behalf and can only marvel in the manner in which this government now seeks to allow her to be intimidated by the Member of Parliament of Marathon, along with others.

“Mr. Fitzgerald, with Attorney General Allyson Maynard-Gibson listed as the second applicant, is seeking to establish that Supreme Court Justice Indra Charles was ‘wrong and erred’ in fact and in law when she ruled that he infringed on constitutional rights when he tabled the private emails of the environmental action group in Parliament, and therefore could not be protected by parliamentary privilege”. 

As a matter of law Justice Charles found that parliamentary privilege cannot usurp the constitutional right to privacy of a private citizen because to allow this would end these privileges afforded to the ordinary citizen against a Member of Parliament, what is so difficult about this to comprehend, Mr. Education Minister?

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

My Morning Paper – February 01, 2017 – Totally Unfit for Office

“Roberts: Pintard unfit for office” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “The ratification of former Free National Movement (FNM) Chairman Michael Pintard for the Marco City constituency is another demonstration of FNM Leader Dr. Hubert Minnis’ ‘poor leadership and judgment’, said Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Chairman Bradley Roberts yesterday.

Pintard resigned his position as chairman and senator 10 months ago for his involvement in reportedly uncovering an alleged murder plot.

He resigned a week after he declared he will not allow the government to make him a scapegoat in the controversy surrounding a feud between Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard and his billionaire neighbor, Louis Bacon, which dominated the mid-year budget debate in Parliament last year.

In making his announcement last march, Pintard said it was not an admission of guilt about anything.

In a statement to the press, Roberts said yesterday, Pintard is ‘unfit for the high office and honorable office he aspires to.’

Simply put, Michael Pintard is a bad choice, and the good people of Marco City do not deserve this albatross around their necks.”

It is interesting that Mr. Roberts cannot give any evidence of any wrong-doing on Mr. Pintard’s behalf as he attempts to convince the people of Marco City and of the Bahamas that Mr. Pintard is actually guilty of anything and so therefore Dr. Minnis and The Free National Movement are guilty of ‘poor judgment’ by ratifying Mr. Pintard.

Shall I go on?

When the story on the Rubis gasoline spill was finally exposed by the media, it was brought to light that the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) government had done testing in this area and were aware of the dangers to the people in that area but kept quiet about the fact that people we being poisoned for over a year. 

It was also brought to light that the Hon. Jerome Fitzgerald member of parliament for the Marathon Consistency along with the Attorney General, Allyson Maynard-Gibson, were the principles in receiving a report from Black & Veatch International (BVI) that they [the Progressive Liberal Party government] commissioned, that outlined the dangers to the persons that lived and worked in that area and it has now become fact that they decided to do nothing for over a year and only became vocal about the dangers when their deeds were exposed by the press.

alyson-maynard-gibson-jerome-fitzgerald

Now the Chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party, Bradley Roberts sit on his high horse and attempts to accuse Mr. Pintard of wrong-doing when there is actually no wrong-doing for him to be accused of but is willing to be very silent about the grand malfeasances of his party and his colleagues in the Marathon Rubis matter; which by the way, they have since admitted to and have asked to be forgiven for.

I say they should not forgiven for just a cruel and unusual act against the people of the Marathon area and against the people of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas and for the chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party to even suggest that Mr. Pintard is “unfit for office”.   I also believe, well know that I have proven why Mr. Fitzgerald, Ms. Allyson Maynard-Gibson and Prime Minister, through this ‘poor leadership and judgment’ in not even reprimanding either of these individuals, is also unfit for office

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

“Gibson blasts We March – Minister says group is ‘100 percent political’” – The Nassau Guardian

Excerpt from this article; “Minister of Labor Shane Gibson said yesterday he is 100 percent convinced that the We March group and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), which called for industrial action last week, are driven purely by politics, and he called on We March to show the Bahamian people where it is getting its funding from.

Gibson said the group’s and the union’s call for an occupation of Bay Street last week was designed to steal the momentum from the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) convention, but they failed in their efforts to do so.”

gibson-and-pm

I find it amazing that each and every time that someone asks for accountability and transparency from this government, this government then turns around and accuses them of trying to destabilize the Progressive Liberal Party government. Is it that if this government knows that if it were to actually be truthful with the Bahamian people then the façade that they have took soon long to build and have put forth to the people will actually be seen for what it really is; fill of cracks and flaws?  Is Mr. Gibson implying that his Progressive Liberal Party government cannot and dare not afford themselves the luxury of actually being open and transparent?

Now, I ask Minister Gibson, not where his party is getting funding from but it is question worth asking another time but rather exactly where is the money collected from value-added tax (VAT) going or being spent?  Because the explanation given by the Minister of State for Finance seemed to be nothing more than an extensive exercise in ‘alterative facts’ and these ‘facts’ are being revealed each and every day for what they are, nothing but falsehoods.

Minister Shane Gibson goes out of his way to attempt to discredit the We March organization,  and he makes the statement that ‘he is 100 percent convinced that the We March group and he Trade Union Congress (TUC) ……are driven purely by politics’ but we must bear in mind that this very man is one in a group that are convinced that Perry Christie is the ‘right man for the job’ as the leader of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) and as Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, when he [the Rt. Hon. Perry Christie] has proven time and time again that he is void of ideas of moving the country forward as Prime Minister and sadly it shows,

So I leave with this, if the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) as a political organization along with Shane Gibson feel that Perry Christie is the ‘right man for the job’ to lead the PLP and run it into the ground, this is fine but we the Bahamian people have been made painfully aware of his ineptitude and incompetence even if he is not aware of these attributes, through his many failures and wish no longer to be associated with him.

Indeed, we want nothing else to do with the man.

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