This sly and coy nimcompoop has spent way too much time in politics frolicking and cavorting as a fellow politician with senior officials in the last PLP government. Consequently he has no intention whatsoever of prosecuting senior officials in the last government who he considers to be his friends, no matter what crimes they may have committed by abusing their public office and the public trust. It is for this very reason that Minnis gravely erred in appointing Carl Bethel as AG.

If this government does not set an example, will just have to vote them out again and give the DNA a chance next time

An overwhelming majority of Bahamian voters gave Minnis and his FNM government an unequivocal mandate, based on the many promises made during the election campaign, to investigate the major instances of corruption, fraud and outright theft involving senior officials in the last government and their PLP cronies in the private sector. We the people expect these individuals to be held accountable and responsible under the rule of law for their crimes against us and our country. Minnis will not get more than one year at most to do this. By then, if he fails, the level of widespread public discontentment will reach a crescendo and the long knives will be drawn by very influential and ambitious members of the FNM. And you can be rest assured one of the longer knives will be unsheathed by none other than Carl Bethel himself. Minnis had better carefully watch his back and make sure what he promised gets done by the most transparent means possible without any cute and coy interference by the AG with the proper outcome of justice that must be meated out to restore the public's confidence in government.

Seem like we have two (2) separate governments going on in our Bahama land. One elected by the people based on campaign promises and one appointed with a different agenda. ITS THE PEOPLES TIME!!! Maybe???

It's starting to look that way. Dr. Minnis averred quite often during the campaign that matters of corruption would be dealt with by the A.G. (not then appointed). Doc, if you and the Cabinet want the people to continue to Roc with you, best advise your A.G. to come up with evidence and prosecutions. If you wanna go Two Straight then you better not pull a Trump on The Bahamian People.

When you talk to PLP's, no matter how 'educated' they claim to be, they have a whole different view about how their PLP government raped, robbed and ravished the Bahamian peoples' money and squandering funds. They don't see nothing wrong with hiring friends, lovers and family who are unqualified for a position, or paying two, three four times the value of a contract or allowing persons to collect three, or four times the value of their regular pay in overtime. Or when people are hired and don't show up they still get paid. They can't seem to comprehend the long term consequences of these actions, like how it has put the Bahamas in the financial position it is in today. An undesirable one. A four times downgraded credit rating. And their only justification: "Ain't y'all is do the same ting when y'all in power."

Then they can't really be educated in the ways of the world, can they?

The educated on this site do not understand. that the FNM was telling lies. First they said
the VAT money was missing. then they said BAHA MAR deal was diabolic. They have problems with who received contracts. These things are not evidence. It can not stand up
in a court of law. There is no concrete evidence. No one will be going to jail. so you will
all have to get over the disappointment. and move on. this is coming from
a "D" grader. Education is not common sense. the Bahamas has to many educated Fools.
who love to wear their so call education on their chest. Book knowledge can be taught
but wisdom and understanding comes from God.

So go ahead and correct my grammar and my spelling it is all right.

Eat some FNM Butt Kalik!

The FNM Cabinet must not back down from these PLP devils .......... If Carl refuses to prosecute all those who took part in these crooked deals and make them repay the State ....... then we will demand that Minnis finds an AG with back bone ......... No time to let these crooks slide now

PLP's are like gamblers. They know the odds of winning are stacked against them (gamblers) so they go and lose up all their money, then promise to quit but as soon as they get the opportunity they are back to gambling. Likewise it is the PLP's nature to squander, misuse money and get the country into financial problems. Even knowledge and wisdom cannot change their nature. Everything they touched is overpriced, money gone missing or it didn't get completed. look at the numerous thousands of feet of sidewalks that remain incomplete. Did the contractors get paid for these already or just mobilisation monies?

Well ........... The FNM needs to outlaw the gamblers, gambling houses and webshop cartels AND create a National Lottery .......... No time to be weak-kneed now ............. If not, our country will continue to slid down the Moody's scale

Wow ... sounds like "The People" really did get swing! Sad, sad moment for "The People" as optimism for the future fades.

No need to outlaw them. Just regulate and control them. And more importantly make sure you tax them... PLP's and gambling houses

Cartel webshops and a national lottery cannot co-exist in our country ....... not enough money to go around ........ Country first

We need a new AG! This one does not have the support of the majority of Bahamians. Mr. Prime Minister can you please pick a new one that Bahamians, from all political backgrounds, respect?

The majority of Bahamians have no bearing on the selection of the AG though, it is an appointed post.

If you are that upset, wait for another 5 years and exercise your discontent then.
