Sounds like we need to get some foreign consultants to get to the bottom of this....

"Probe"? All it takes is asking Renward who asked him to sign the letter and determining whether that person had authority to do so. We already know the answer to the second question. What a mess they've created for themselves, even Leslie can see through it.

Investigation process..

PM - Wells, come to my office.

PM - wells, did someone instruct you to sign the LOI?

Wells possible answers-

1) No one instructed me to sign it. I was acting on my own.

PMs answer - you did not have the authority - you are fired!

2) Wells says, PM, I was instructed by Joe Blow who is my senior.

PMs answer - Wells you are fired!

PM calls Joe Blow and says - Joe Blow - You are fired!

Done deal, now let's move on.

Yep. one more scenario, Wells refuses to say who told him to sign:

PM answer - Wells you are fired!

So... If Perry is satisfied, he will act.. The alleged person who told him to sign the LOI will have the final say...

What is "alleged" person has to carry out his own investigation into himself, could take years, would be difficult to determine which one of his multiple personalities did the deed

Exactly! You know that as Prime Minister he has to do it, but as the Minister of Finance, he may not be able too.

the word 'determination' was repeated NINE times in this article, yet no determination was made.

“I have to make the determination. I will make the determination and I will communicate that determination. I just want to be able to say at this point I have to make the determination as to whether that event in the scheme of my government goes to the root of Mr Wells’ existence as a part of government.”

What the heck???? Will someone please relieve the PM of his duties - he is clearly under severe stress and no longer able to communicate straight forward ideas.

That dye in his hair must be screwing with his brain cells No one can convince me the PM is playing with a full deck. If after 3 weeks of the shit hitting the fan and he don't have the details he ought to resign. This is utter bullshit coming out of his mouth

He likes to say "I" a lot.

PM Christie has been unable or unwilling to have risked a quick and clean mop-up of all things "Letter of Intent." Thousands of Comrades from all political stripes are gathering on street corners, restaurants and even church basements in Nassau Town, Freeport and all Family Islands, asking each other if, there is really a cover-up in play - why so, who did what?? Unfortunately, for the PM, the talk may have extended beyond the PM and is now questioning if, the PLP government will survive their mandate to 2017? The talk is quickly moving from the PM's office, DPM and their Parliamentary Secretary if, all three men may have done used up all their credibility with Bahamalander's, to be left to get to the bottom of the who, whom, why and where this "Letter of Intent" committing $600 million in hard-earned taxpayers monies originated? A urgent mop-up task has to be done by appointing a retired Justice of the Supreme Court - cause transparency is not even being pretended to be done by either of these three men's - who sure as hell are starting to looks be ducking something or another? But why the duck? Each day the PM is got's Bahamalander's wondering, how long can he really expect to be keeping up appearances, while acting likes all is well in the PM's high office with his DPM and Parliamentary Secretary? PM when even the Shanty Town residents are scratching they brows, you got's realize - things ain't looking-up for this PLP administration to run to 2017?

If one does no wrong, covers nothing up, avoids cronyism, keeps their hand out of the cookie jar, follows the rule of law and procedures and rules,
one would have nothing to answer to!
And much good would get done!
A point obviously lost on the PLP from top to bottom!

The caption for this story tells the whole story about the state of party politics and democracy in this country............. even though Renward was elected to represent his constituency, he is bound to swear to the PM and the party machinery .......... there is no freedom/ democracy there.

So here's a scenario: Let's say the PM did tell RW to sign the letter and after RW does as he is told this information is leaked and shite hits the fan. All of a sudden the PM's first reaction is to distance himself from the situation and ask RW to resign. The DPM knows that the PM did in fact authorize this transaction and insists that RM should not resign. Subsequently, the DPM sees this whole fiasco as a way to expose the PM while at the same time allowing him to take over the post that he so ardently seeks as PM. Well if that happens, then I would start singing the old set 'n' up song "Lay down my Bahamas, Lay down and take your rest. Lay your head now upon your Savior's breast... I love you ooh but Jesus love you da best. I bid ya good night, good night, good night"

It is obvious that PC has lost control of his cabinet and MP's,that is if he ever had any control in the first place. He is trying to save face and stall for time. Too little,too late. More and more MP's are openly defying him. I suppose this is why he constantly reminds everyone that he is PM. This situation has the potential of making the gambling referendum fiasco,look like a joke.

Best scenario.......Well's resigns and exposes all the corruption in this waste to energy deal followed by other well intentioned young politicians who also want to expose corruption by the corrupt old guard and are being frustrated in acting on behalf of constituents.

These guys should all meet with their constituents and get the green light to walk away from corruption and usual ongoing stupidity of the PLP and take their seats to another new party (not FNM)

If you are instructed by your boss or higher up authority to do something you are supposed to do it or you can be charged with insubordination. If you feel what you have been told to do is not what you feel is right then you act accordingly on the issue and let other higher ups know what happened.

"I decide". That's funny. How many decisions has he really made. I true LEADER makes decisions and let's the chips fall where they may. He's not even close.

Ok, let's see how leadership requires accountability. Under his former administration PGC ordered then Director of Lands & Surveys to convey waterfront land in Little Exuma to his good friend and long time supporter. Remember now that land grants are the purview of Cabinet, not L&S.

Also the land is granted for tourist development, but is quickly flipped as a private home site to an American who builds a house, never lives in it and defaults on his mortgage. As a result the land and house become the property of a US bank that sells it to another foreigner.

The original grantee then turns around and buys prime commercial real estate in a major Nassau business district. This all involved funds in the half-million range.

It so happens that the Grantee is a family member of the Director of L&S, who was a strong FNM supporter. The story does not break however until HAI is PM. When the wicked deed is disclosed someone has to answer for it and the Director finds himself without a job by order of the FNM PM whom he has supported.

A true case of dammed if I do and dammed if I don't. Had the Director refused to sign for the transfer of land to the former PM's friend he would have been fired for insubordination. However the new PM knows that accountability is required and must fire his long time supporter.

So now, who is the real leader?

Think about ALL of the senior Cabinet Ministers on both sides who have profited from Crown Land and other land deals .................... Tenny Wells comes to mind ............. HMMMMMMMM

This is pure 100% bullsh-t from Christy, yet again: FIRE WELLS!!

would the people of the bahamas please march on parliament and fire fire my prime minister and his cabinet they are not fit to lead

Easier said than done. you need a strong leader to draw the people to demonstrate, to change governments. as they do in other countries that have the "balllsssss" and guts.
