"Asked if progress has been made toward bringing such laws to Parliament, Attorney General Allyson Maynard Gibson suggested yesterday that the matter is still among the priorities her department is working on." Yep our Twisted Sister is on to it, The way this sounds they have to prioritize the priorities list from time to time at the AG's office. sooooo many things to do and so little achieved.

Yeah, sure. This is an election year. Mouth say anything and paper don't mind who the hell write on it!

2012 Newly Sworn-in PLP Cabinet Ministers at Nygard Cay -

.......///https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pw1xUXQNelg

Now that the PLP war chest full from numbers and Nygard money, probably some VAT money in there too, they start whining about campaign finance reform. Christie and his bunch of vultures have had nine years to do something about this and they aren't even accountable for their own financial declarations.
Now that they're all gorged to bursting off the fat of the land they want everybody else to now go on a diet.

So true

Will it be like the NHI, NIA, FOIA or UR2.0 laws that the PLP have failed to produce as well?????? ............ and that they seem so concerned about as well???????

Instead of saying it, just do it. This is election season, a perfect time to enforce the new law. Talk is cheap, especially in The Bahamas.

Tal, there is something else i recall, when Nygard came to Freeport, they literally place a red carpet on the ramp for him to walk on. He was given a hero's welcome with every high ranking goverment official shaking his hands, what a difference a day makes!

Notice how tired Fred looking lately? I wonder if is due to his "lifestyle"?

Gee Fred, is this government incapable of passing a simple, straight forward law?

What is so difficult about this?

Oh, is it that we don't want to cut off our illicit funding? Oh, is it that there is no real campaign finance millions for the opposition coming from legitimate environmental groups who only want to preserve this wonderful land?

"Say it ain't so Joe." We are not all morons.

**Blah, blah? Damage control in full swing mode, smoke and mirrors at ultimate output**

Truth is, both PLP and FNM have a long standing history of shaking down high net worth individuals in Lyford Cay, Ocean Club and throughout the Bahamas at large compromising themselves at the highest levels!

These wealthy people are accustomed to "walking the line" by donating to both parties so as to ensure no matter the outcome of an election, they have direct access to the powers that be enabling them to use high end law firms to lobby for and get whatever they want, whenever they want, without question!

Our country like the U.S. is heavily influenced by these big donors that frequently invite prime ministers and cabinet ministers to dinner parties and house functions parading them around like prized possessions to empress friends or obtain "special favors" that the electorate would never begin to imagine possible!

These people are equivalent to the highest echelon of 1% of corporate Americans now doing everything in their power to stop Donald Trump becoming GOP front leader, and willing to scuttle everything standing in their way out of fear of exposure linking them to corrupt politicians whom they have controlled for decades.

Similarly, Nygard and Bacon are but two of many whose money have long compromised the PLP and FNM rendering them unable to govern the Bahamas in the best interest of Bahamians.

The reality is, no matter what Fred Mitchell, Afred Gray, PM Christie or anyone in the House "says", changing direction is just talk and damage control.

They are ALREADY comfortably settled deep into these peoples pockets, have been compromised for decades, and are powerless to get out!

To expect anything to "change" under the PLP or FNM is nothing more than an illusion adding more fodder for fools who are constantly wondering how certain individuals can get anything they desire with astonishing frequency and in record short times, while Bahamians cannot accomplish anything whatsoever after literally decades of trying.

***Believe it, or not believe it 1+1 = 2 and scientifically, it cannot be changed!***

The three party leaders should present a joint campaign finance reform Bill to Parliament as soon as possible .......... that will go a long way in restoring Bahamians' trust in our political system going forward towards the 2017 election ............. do it before the Referendum

sheeprunner12...You have any more jokes for us today?

No, sorry to disappoint you (LOL) ........... but my suggestion is what they should d if the PLP, FNM, DNA/UDP are serious about changing how the average Bahamian view them today ........ and beyond

Is this all Fred Mitchell can come up with now? When Izmirilian talked badly about the prime minister, he was all over him, sprouting threats. What about now when what Nygard said is 10000 time worse. Why he so quiet now, boo???
