Comrades! My Four and a half cents red cabinet source - says there's more to this missing in action cabinet appointment than the PM isn't demonstrating 'It's The People's Time' transparency?

It is amazing that the sunshine government is hiding Banister? Where is he? What is wrong?
I think he may have gone on a cruise around the world.

town shortly all in the same article. which of the two is the truth?

I like the press secretary idea. Bannister off island, big deal, stop looking for Drama.

The more successful that the FNM are, OR the more that they uncover of PLP criminality, the more vituperative that birdie and Tal will become. They have defiled themselves by letting the party have their dignity and their soul, and now they assume everyone is a dirty political whoremonger exactly as they are. They cannot ever believe that anyone can be patriotic and altruistic, because it is beyond their scope of experience as to how their partisan party works.

The venom that you see here spewed by these political pimps may be the result of cognitive dissonance of the vast gulf between their ethics and the new government -- or it could be just living in the slime that these people are used to.

The Ministry of Works portfolio is the single most vulnerable Ministry to political graft and corruption ......... That is why Perry gave it to Davis ........ If you contrast how Neko managed the MOW under Ingraham - and how it became a cesspool of corruption since 2012, that is all any Bahamian needs to know about how vital it is to any government ............... Can Bannister clean up the blatant "crony contractor" system, no-bid contracts, 30% excess overpricing, and MOW employee kickbacks culture that presently exists???????? .............. Time will tell

Stage 4 colon cancer.

Are you sure?

You sure that you should be posting that information. . .even if it is true. . .remember J Fitzgerald e-mail fiasco. . . if you leave the barn door open the house will get out and run off. . .

Politicians appointed as Ministers dont miss swearing-in ceremonies.. do you attend college 4 years and then not go to graduation because you had something clearly more important already planned? something very significant led to his absence.. the public have a right to know what...

Boy.... Well I skipped my college graduation to go get drunk! High school too I think.

LOL!

Comrades! The People's government' were promised we would have 16 cabinet ministers but it wasn't suppose to include the PM. The new missing from his new ministerial duties as the substantive minister of works - has now missed not one but two swearing-in's?
Comrades, wasn't 'It's The People's Time' - this red government had promised to smoothly and efficiently runs on?
Still my Four and a half cents red cabinet source - says with all their Four and a half cents - says to me to remain of suspicious mind - cause there could be some more to this than is being made transparent - that a different red has done met with the PM to assume the portfolio of MOW?

To all the naive People. Who say dumbness about Bannister.

The reason the damn man was off the island was because he was attending a funeral service because one of his family members died.

People are always so quick to accuse other with no information. And the reason I know this cause I was at the funeral also that was held in Grand Bahama, the body had to come from fort Lauderdale. Where he was with the family

Y'all Really need to get your act together. If a family member of mines died I would miss the ceremony as well to tend my family. Family always come first.

So will we get a mass cleanup and some serious illegal dumping enforcement before the US ambassador arrives to meet this nastiness?

The fact that Minnis and fellow cabinet minister (Bannister) are not willing to be transparent with the Bahamian people does not speak well of all the promises made by Minnis about the intended transparency of his government. When you aspire to serve the public at the highest levels of elected public office you give up certain fundamental privacy rights in recognition of the public's interest and right to know. Minnis and Bannister should not prefer public conjecture over the public's right to know. If Bannister or a member of his immediate family has a serious medical condition requiring his absence from being sworn in as a cabinet minister and taking charge of his ministerial portfolio, then that fact should be disclosed. Then again it could be that Bannister has a very material conflict of interest that absolutely must be, but cannot easily be, unravelled or otherwise resolved before he assumes his cabinet post.

Will Minnis seriously consider putting a sick man in a demanding Cabinet post like Ministry of Works???? ...... After all of his smart strategizing???
