I am certain Mr Ash's lawyer will have by now advised him to keep his "guilty" mouth shut.

As for Shane Gibson, a full investigation is needed to find out how this corrupt idiot acquired such great wealth while serving as a cabinet minister in the last government. Most people would be very surprised to learn the name of the super wealthy gated community in which Shameless Shane now lives, in a most stately opulent home.

It's weird how he can't buy a good name though....

Well, let us see. Ask him to account for every employee, get every pay slip. Get every bill he incurred. Get him to detail the work he did with evidentiary proof. Get every employee to sign an affidavit confirming it, under penalty of perjury and jail time. Do a full forensic audit.
If he is telling the truth, apologize to him. If not, seize all his goods and property until you recover every penny of difference and shove him in jail for 20 years.
Simple. Not a lot to think about, Mr. Minnis. If you are serious, that is what you will do. Else you are just another politician full of it. Up to you, Mr. Minnis. You the PM now. You decide. No one else.

The FNM and doc are at their best right now calling people thieves, which they will have to
prove. They have no idea as to how to move the Bahamas forward, they have to work with
visionary ideas left in place by the PLP. BAMSI , University of the Bahamas and Urban Renewal. Troy is waiting for them to do something for Freeport... He works close to the beach
he should go there and watch for the FNM ship to come in.

It's called creating a precedent Birdie, your PLP government did this in regards to pillaging and raping the tax payers dollar, now the PM will create a precedent in locking up all of these crooked bastards. The Bahamian people deserve justice for the straight up malfeasance and looting of these corrupt PLP officials. And if you think Bamsi and Urban Renewal are forward thinking ideas you truly are a dumbass.

Calling Birdie a dumbass is an understatement.

birdie birdie can you just shut your fooking pie hole? Just go away,you are not making it easy for right thinking Bahamians to digest the criminal acts of your masters.

I must say, Mr./Ms. Strachan, your command of the English language has certainly improved since the General Election. Your faith in the crooked ousted party is truly amazing, however misplaced.

Birdie stop being a cuck for the PLP. This isn't about bloody party, this is about the country. IF they are guilty to jail with them and assets should be ceased. IDGAF if my own mother somehow got caught up. JAIL

Of course he's being defensive = it's usually the first reaction of GUILTY CROOKED CORNHOLES!!!

“Only when you wrong you defend yourself....When you guilty is when you talk.”

Well darn! "Minky" Issacs must be guilty as hell!

The fact of the matter is it is well and good to reveal these acts of tief'in. But government must make serious efforts to recoup some of the people's money that was stolen. especially from people like Shane Gibson and his cohorts. this man is too bold and brazen with what he has did to the Bahamian people's money. And for his second term in office tiefin people's tings. Make an example of him..for starters...times serious

What about the man who threatened to 'punch the prime minister in his mouth" for talking foolishness. Hopefully the police has arrested him and detained him if only to monitor his mental state and to caution him about his apparent threat to a sitting prime minister while doing the work of the people?

What I realize more and more each day with every revelation of impropriety is that the PLP thought they owned the Bahamas. They believed the VAT and public treasury belonged to them. What made them think this? How did people born here just like you and I become so entitled? I have never thought I owned this country. Why did they? Just wondering how these ghetto goblins became so misguided in their ownership beliefs.

The short answer is that this is what happens when you leave people in the chair too long. They get to know the system and then they delude themselves into thinking that they own the place. The American system is perfect. Too terms and azz out! Unfortunately we've tied ourselves into a system that allows our politicians to serve well past their expiration date. Every Prime Minister for the last 40 years had to be blown out of chair.

I trust this one is different.

The answer BahamaPundit is simple, you are looking at "oppressed" people who the Bay Street Boys fired for "tifing", were not always selected by their majority rule PM post Independence for "kick backs", the Colombian Drug Lords declined their "safekeeping" services, the Foreign Investor said no to them when offering "connections", the Tourists refused to be "hustled" by them, leaving only the Haitians, who would not even weed their yards due to "non-payment", so these "most oppressed" people grew up longing for their turn to pillage with utter unapologetic abandonment!

Was it put out to bid ___________NO. How was he paid so quickly when retired teachers and other employees often wait months for gratuity or promotion raises. Of course this was crooked and the whole country included deluded PLP supporters are reaping the fallout.

Somebody's hand was caught with their hand in the cookie jar! The guilty scream the loudest. You know the best way to keep control is to keep the people down. Unemployed, no money, your hands are tied. Then your stuck and they can do what they want to do.
