Well if it is not the position of the government then you need to discipline them. You weak, poor excuse for a leader.

Exactly right! So, they work for the govt paid by the govt, but don't represent the govt? hmmm....sounds like BS to me....

Bey dey seem like dey only know to lie jed. Bey open he mouth, and it's juss lies dat fall out. Thats how simple dis gov't think Bahamians is; we guh believe any fool dey sey it ein even gat to make sense

Life is indeed stranger than fiction. No one could even imagine the lunacy!

You have no control over your cabinet!! ha-ha-ha....what an idiot we have for PM. You are a joke and whatever respect you have left can only be found within your cabinet equally mentally unstable followers. Step down and make your way Sandilands.

So what are you going to do about it.

damage done expats are leaving and telling people back home how stupid it is to do bussiness with bahamas. the rules change like there underwear.

I love my country and my people and despair at what is being done to our reputation because of this government. PLP = corruption, the world knew that before but now it is much more clear. I don't' encourage friends and family to come visit the Bahamas. This PLP government is even more crooked than the last - it is not safe to be under the rule of these egomaniacs. Those Bahamians that can and foreigners are leaving....the stench is sickening.

Did the PM not hear about collective responsibility ? Man this can't be happening. When will the nightmare end ?

Unfortunately, as bad as it is it ain't going to end anytime soon. They have so much to hide that they can't quit now. They are like the raccoons that put their hand into the jam-jar to grab the goodies but are too stupid to let go so they can escape the cutlass coming down on their necks. Most of these will have to leave this country and seek asylum somewhere else if the people change the government because any new government will be duty bound to seek redress from this corruption. It would be God's Justice if Fred Mitchell had to seek asylum in Haiti.

In my opinion, a minister of the government has the obligation to hold the personal view for private discussions with colleagues and friends but speak only to the policies of the government in the public arena when necessary. This takes a whole lot of discipline to refrain from the petty, personal confrontations with citizens but maintains the admirable stature of the diplomat.

Look at PGC picture. Either his clothes are small or he is swollen up like a bullfrog !!! Policeman ain't no better.

it is the 'fit clothes fashion'
it was invented by gay designers to make average size 14 woman look bad.

Does history repeat itself ? My mind is running on the Commission of Inquiry that looked into Hawksbill and all that. We need a Commission of Inquiry now, not a bankruptcy hearing.

“I don’t think he understands what a fight with the government is. When you fight with the government, that’s a real fight. There’s no such thing as a fight with the government.”

This does not even make any sense ! No wonder the country is in such a poor state if the leader cannot even string an articulate sentence together.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest we as a nation must be on the verge of financial ruin, bankruptcy or something; what else could drive such nonsensical attacks against and investor?

We must need this online now, and without it we can't make our debt payments? Why else would they attack an investor, as if we drive one investor of this caliber away, we will never get another one.

One thing our political fools are not considering is how well the worlds elite stick together. Izmerilain can lead a charge to crush our nation if we're not careful!

I'm not even gonna mention or suggest what it's possible for him to do or have done to the leaders themselves..............I'm sure many people are worrying about this!

Loose lips sink ships....it it too much to hope for, that loose lips can also sink Governments???? Please!! Pretty Please !!!!

Talk to your PLP government -- they've made it impossible for Baha Mar to take advantage of Chapter 11 proceedings and an $80M loan to pay employees and get the resort up and running in reorganisation. Everyone would have gotten paid and the resort would have been able to open.

As it stands now, this PLP government have made a complete cockup of things and pushing for a winding up of the whole resort. At this rate, you'd be lucky to get paid at all. Ever.

I feel your pain, but the way this government is going about things is only prolonging the agony and with court battles and protracted "negotiations", this mess could take years to fix -- if ever.

There's no hope for Bahamian private-sector creditors ever getting paid anything near what they are owed if Baha Mar goes through a liquidation process of any kind under the supervision of the Supreme Court of The Bahamas. At best they would receive very few pennies on the dollar once the local liquidators, the local crony lawyers and the Christie-led PLP government have picked the juicy carcass clean and sold the remains off to the highest corrupt bidder favoured by the likes of Christie, Maynard-Gibson and Baltron Bethel.

PLP all the way. thanks DNA and the grass roots who like foolishness, next time you vote think

Let me just say...the PM made no sense.

He knew ahead of time the inflammatory, unprofessional, undemocratic, thug-like, unconstitutional comments, his sitting ministers, representatives of the government, were going to make. But he did not stop them knowing that they did not speak for the government? He knew beforehand that Izmirlian (not the only developer) had issues with CCA, and still thought he was 'helping' by doing nothing? And later, another government representative commends them for a job well (NOT) done? Then he, himself, progressed the BahaMar scenario toward liquidation while the developer thought he was still in negotiation? And he wonders why the developer feels like he is fighting the government? Unbelievable!

I'm voting PLP next time and maybe all this will make sense to me (NOT)

Prime Minister Christie needs to grow a backbone and put his stupid buffoons of ministers in their places. Firing them would be best, but at the very least put a damn muzzle on them, please, before they spew any more stupid and dangerous remarks.

It's not a case of rogue Cabinet Ministers at all...the likes of Mitchell, Gibson, Maynard-Gibson, Gomez, et al and one Mr. Baltron Bethel are all doing as Christie directly tells them to do or indicates by his very own conduct he wishes for them to do with his full blessing!

Fred Mitchell's head has never been screwed on straight and he has always been most uncomfortable in his own skin. Fred's efforts to re-write history to his liking are well known to all who know him for what he really is: An imbecilic pseudo-intellect! Lest we forget, Fred Mitchell in the late 1980s, while head of his newly formed political party, "The People’s Democratic Force", burned a copy of the Bahamas Constitution. According to The Tribune reporting of this event, "The bold protest was held at Mr Mitchell’s favourite watering hole for launching his protests — the fig tree in front of the Supreme Court building in Parliament Square. About 100 curiosity seekers gathered to watch the spectacle." The Tribune article went on to quote the following declaration by Mr. Mitchell at the time he burned The Bahamas Constitution: "So this afternoon, we send a message to the man most directly responsible for this state in our country, Sir Lynden Pindling, because as Prime Minister he is responsible for appointing the Chief Justice. We burn this constitution to light a fire for freedom. We will present to the Prime Minister the ashes of this constitution, as a reminder of how our country is being destroyed.” Fred would now have us all believe that foreigners previously welcomed and living in our country for many years have no rights under The Bahamas Constitution. Christie should never have appointed this perpetually angry tootie-fruity tart to the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs. There has never been, and likely never will be, an individual more ill-suited for that position than Freddy Boy!

Freddy Boy is the type of guy who would enroll in a month or two of executive program courses at the John F. Kennedy School of Government and then tell the whole world a few years later that he holds a full fledged two-year degree of Master in Public Administration from Harvard University. What a loser!

The only conclusion any intelligent person can arrive at is that Perry Christie is hopelessly compromised as leader of this band of ......................you name it. He would like to lead and be a real statesman, no doubt, but everyone has too much on everyone else inside this "Mafia style" cabinet. In true Italian fashion, they are all "made men" and once you are "in" you cannot leave. No one can be fired.

I have been saying this for years ........ and it started with the "godfather" - SLOP

Christie, Maynard-Gibson et al believe the Biblical saying "An eye for an eye" is no different than "They stole so we should be able to steal". The only problem is, these politician who have allowed themselves and their family members to be corruptly conflicted for greedy self-gain obviously missed attending church that Sunday morning when the sermon was all about that one commandment which says "Thou shalt not steal"! In fact, the whole damn Christie-led PLP cabinet must have missed attending church that same Sunday morning!!

I understand that while all attention is focused on the fireworks initiated by the two silly boys, (Mitchell and Gibson) that there are bills currently being pushed through for first and second readings, one important bill deals with taxes and demanding annual licences for solar panels and their provision of electricity to homes and apartments and businesses. I know of no other countries that would do this, but instead they provide cost cutting incentives for alternative energy supply, this could be another nightmarish nail in the coffin of this administration, as these ideas of licensing the conversion of sunshine to power will not ever be respected or paid by anyone. Myself and all I know included. In many areas where there is no public power supply available, solar is a way to power the basics of daily necessities. and all persons must have the choice to purchase power from a government entity or use private alternatives on their own homes or businesses
