The FNM should not allow Gray to speak again in his capacity as minister in parliament until he resigns.

Exactly what were they going to charge him with?, It could stand in no court of law. All of these so called scandals are a figment of the FNM;s imagination , promoted by an FNM press.

You mean a figment ,like you saying you owned stock in Freeport power and they have not paid dividends in years when last year they paid out over 4.6 % ,,Which is a good yield ,,,

great so if me or anyone I know gets locked up I know who to call. Like I always say if you want justice in this failed state you better be prepared to kill for it, because the legal system isn't on your side.

@Alex_Charles

Let me get this straight.. wasn't the accused arrested, prosecuted and charged all by the same person??? How does that work? If this was done then I can't condone it. Just as I can't condone Mr. Gray making matters worse by overstepping his position in releasing him.

As mr. Bumble said in Oliver twist:
The law is an arse.

And if he was? how does it change the accusation? Straw generals

would you like him to be handling your young son, alone in an isolated family island jail cell and breaking his arm? What is an accusation anyway.

Accusation: *a charge or claim that someone has done something illegal or wrong. "accusations of bribery" synonyms: allegation, charge, claim, assertion, imputation*

My point was, what does that have to do with Alfred Gray allegedly threatening a magistrate and not being punished for it?

This is WEIRD. The Administrator has the word of Justice Pratt to back him up and the AG says that's not enough? She might as well fire Justice Pratt if she can't trust her word.

Something is afoot here...on the eve of the carnival opening in Freeport, the Rubis report was released. I told my friend that I thought it was released at that time to hide the story underneath the euphoria of carnival. He told me that didn't make sense. Now after weeks of waiting for action, the Alfred Gray **non**-decision is released at the end of the day, on another Friday evening, the eve of carnival main event Nassau. These people are too cute for their own good. Is it true the PM was booed last night? You're fooling no one other than birdie.

I thought the same thing regarding the timing.

Yes he was booed! The crowd next to me were heckling him to death. Lol...They were calling him every name but a child of God. :-)

@ThisIsOurs

LMAO..They too cute, and WE stuck on stupid! Good Match!

This woman is one big disgrace. No pretty or sophisticated diction can supersede the ugliness that she espouses and releases upon us. There have to be changes. Our country is not going to survive with this kind of 'justice', and I use that term very loosely, in play. There has to be a way to make the position of attorney general an elected one, a non-partisan one, not a position chosen by the governing party of the day. Just look at all the trash this fool has come up with and cloaks it in pretty, king sized words. All this victimization and rule by intimidation, straight out of the late 60's to the early 90's. My God. How does this woman even look at herself in the mirror or sleep well at night? I pray that people think before they vote in the next election, and that there is a coalition government instead brought about by people voting for the best qualified individual in a constituency and not the party. And when that takes place, a Commission of Inquiry with teeth should be held. Every one of these bastards should be prosecuted, jailed, and all the assets illegally accumulated during their time in power confiscated and contributed to promoting the betterment of this country. They destroyed it and they should pay for its rebuilding by not only setting an example through the loss of their freedom for those that would try to slick their way to wealth, but also by having them stripped of all their ill gotten gains. No reward for nasty and ugly behavior. We are so tired of them. The world has changed and they cannot hide any longer nor can they revise history like they have done repeatedly the last fifty years. Ring the bell.

You are so right about Allyson Maynard-Gibson being an utter despicable disgrace. There is now an abundance of evidence, both fact and circumstantial, pointing to her abusive use of the Attorney General's Office to provide political cover for just about any illegal activity involving cabinet ministers and other senior officials of the PLP. To the extent senior officials within the AG's Office continue to remain silent about the abuses that have occurred, they too will be labelled as having fully participated in the abuses and eventually suffer pretty much the same consequences that will befall Maynard-Gibson down the road.

Yes

@Islandgirl

Agreed!! I am soooo ready for change it hurts! If these jokers can't do right by us WE need to step up. Tired of the political mind games, while our people are starving in this country either from the lack of food, knowledge, proper education and A Dream! The only means to get ahead is to develop a 'black crab' mentality and I ain't down with that shytt!! Never have, never will!

What was the AG doing being interviewed on the carnival coverage? Saying how wonderful everything was. They seem to all be selling some really spiced up games and parties koolaid. I suppose they will all show up again today and sit on their high porch (/skybox) watching the slaves in the field enjoy their festival. No BAMSI, PHA, BEC power, NIB, VAT, Alfred Gray, BEC bribe, Bahamar, WSC, Renew Bahamas, BOB loans or NHI. All tears wiped away...

Excellent!!!!!!!!! Now we have one more PLP poster boy to hold up in Parliament as sitting under a cloud of dishonour

"So, go ahead, #jumpindaline and bury your head in the sand people, but don't say you weren't warned."

I love that!! ; ) We need to have shirts with that printed with mascot Pot-cake himself, with his head buried!

It is over. If yinna want another task, check the background of 'the party Chairman'.

And the Negro Groucho Marx wins again

Carnival will be over in a few hours, now back to politics. So far an alternative, viable government is still invisible.

This Government must lead from the rectum. Everything they mixed up in smell shitty!

Stop hating

Well ....... Perry better come up with another party for next week ........ and the next ........ til 2017 because this is bad timing for anything of this magnitude to be released ...... BTW the AG and Bernie out on the road in the line ........... go figger

# #jumpindaline Ma *iggas!!

So Sad!

I had a wonderful time in the road fever parade today, looking forward to 2016! **Now**, I'd like to know if the Commissioner of Police recommended that charges should be brought against Alfred Gray....

LOL You are too funny!

Any conflict in the "Gray say, Newbold say" evidence should be easily overcome by the mere fact that Newbold had no motive whatsoever to release Gray's constituent from custody other than fear of reprisal from Gray if Newbold did not do as Gray had no doubt forcefully and intimidatingly told him to do. Any discrepancies in the recollections by Gray and Newbold of the number and/or duration of their phone discussions should not form the basis for excusing the wrongful acts of either Gray or Newbold. Gray wrongfully intervened in a law enforcement matter involving his constituent and Newbold wrongfully released the man held in custody upon being demanded to do so by Gray in a more than likely threatening way. No matter how you cut this, both Gray and Newbold should be held to account for the illegal acts they have committed in a Court of law. The shear absurdity of Allyson Maynard-Gibson (and possibly Greenslade) taking the position that no charges should be pressed against anyone in this matter defies all logic and credibility. What our Attorney General has done here is not that different from what Gray should have been charged with doing. Stop interfering with and intervening in legal processes that should be allowed to run their course under the law!

Also the fact that Justice Pratt(?) told the officer to relay to the message to the magistrate NOT to release the prisoner and he did it **anyway**, indicates that someone with more weight than the Justice told him to do otherwise. Who could that someone be? and what leverage could they have used?

When this man is not meddling legal matters, He is meddling associations matters, this man tneeds to be exposed again for getting into things he has no business.

Conflicting evidence? Of course there is conflicting evidence that is what happens in every case.

There is every reason to proceed to court, but the Ag is so incompetent what else do you expect.

While the AG is certainly incompetent in many respects, it is her apparent willingness to misuse the AG's Office to provide protection and cover for likely illegal acts of her political friends and business cronies that is so alarming.

A lot of the brass of the PLP will be retiring in the 2017 election. The draw in 2017 will be determined by how much the economy improves, job creation and what is done about crime. Where will Gray be in 2017?

Old PLP soldiers do not retire ................... they are fired by the people or they die in Office/civil service/consultancies ................ they rob the cookie jars all the way to their graves

Nothing unexpected here. AG has once again done her job of protecting pirate colleagues.

Lets see what slick tactics she will use to deflect the coming fallout from insider leaks on under the table deals pulled with oil exploration companies!

Shocked that the A.G. did not find some pretense to leave the country so the Minister with Portfolio for Taxi Licensing could not Nolle Prosse the case.

No shock here. You can say what you like about the PLP, they sure do look out for themselves and their cronies.

The Nolle AG at it again ................. let us wait for her ruling on BAMSI arsonist and BEC bribetaker ............................... and the BEC/PowerSecure deal ........... and the BPC deal etc

She is a disagrace to the OAG ................... a perfect example of what is wrong with the PLP regime
