"*#Asked if he regretted his statements, Mr Moultrie said: “Only to the point of how it may affect operations of the institution in terms of us moving forward. If we don’t put it behind us, naturally it would be difficult to proceed in an environment that is so adversarial.*"

Davis' description is 100% correct, what does Mr Moultrie believe his actions did EXCEPT "affect operations of the institution", this requires a FULL apology and resignation, not some half hearted well IF I offended someone statement. He is UNQUALIFIED for the post. This doesn't make him a bad man or an evil man, it simply means he does not have the knowledge to carry out the duties of this critical role. Dr Minnis seems to be appointing these types of people all over the place.

They say when things don't make sense look at the dollars, and so far we have 722+185+90 MILLION dollars in play.

No need to ask old, veteran Parliamentarians ........ before TV was in Parliament, that was a free for all, Wild Wild West place ............ Brave dem are just looking for sympathy from the public.

The PLP are crying about their own rules .......... but can anyone remember what it was like before those 2005 rules were introduced??????

This issue is really laughable.

It appears da Brave Man and da Member for Englertston seem hell-bent on constantly disrupting and delaying House business for whatever nefarious ends and dis time da Speaker man, da Most Honourable PM, da Immigration/Whatever Minister and dem rose to da bait.

Ma Comrades, imagine the sparks fly in House under this Speaker when the Imperial Red Regime sprungs their revised Buggery Bill out cabinet to floor House..... can't wait hear the MICAL MP Miriam's contribution. {Nope, not making this up - so reserve as I, your seat up in House's visitors gallery}. They might have borrow the Chaplain and the Sargent-at-arms from Upper Red Chamber as reinforcements to backup the House's}.

Whatever institution you think you are in it was totally degraded by the fool you replaced....

Now that is spot-on profound. You. Nailed. It. Concur, sir. Completely.

It amazes me how a grown man can present a prepared speech and still stand behind it even when it is clear that he has crossed all kind of lines. This must be a new level of JACKASSEDNESS!!!

I am soooo disappointed in the likes of Deacon Jeff Lloyd and other "more mature" men in the house for having remained quiet while the "Buffoon" brought the chair and house into disrepute with his personal schoolyard vendetta. Will the real men stand up and call a spade a spade???

@ThisIsOurs condider adding 6 to 7 million startup from brick and mortar if Bank of the Bahamas starts shop in Long Island as the DPM suggests. Which has them already challenged to meet dividends.
Or, to invite existing profitable Commonwealth Bank or others to open shop in Long Island with consession. Perhaps tax reddemabable credits to offset licence can also be looked on for numbers of agricultural loans granted, new startups, numbers of jobs created in new loans per business, sheep farms businesses started eycetc. The Central Bank already collects data for published reviews.

ok tal

Ma Comrades, lets hope the moral to the Speaker's outburst is that he doesn't get any more grumpier? Doesn't man's looks like he could bite into iron?

Neither the current speaker nor the last possess the qualities to be a good House speaker. Poor choice in both cases.

Dion Smiths jackass behavior now replaced and surpassed by Moultrie's shite slinging shenanigans, please remember Mr. Moultrie when you throw that stuff some inevitably sticks to you.
Please do the honorable thing and resign and let a true statesman, if they can find one,occupy the Chair.

What do you think the job of the Speaker is??????? ............. What is the purpose of having the Sears rule (or 3 rules) book???????? ............. Please view some other Parliaments (including the USA) and listen to the way they speak and the stunts they pull ......... Rand Paul just hi-jacked the US Government the other night and cause a "shut down" ........ We are crying over nothing here ......... Typical blind Bahamian political drama with braying loyalists.

.....yeah ...comparing other parliamrnts...just look at some Asian ones where they jump over the table and sort tings out wid fists or beat each other wid shoes on der heads....tempest in a teapot....get it over.... if needs be odds 6 to 5 on Fred in da street

Speaker Moultrie has no shame and the PM and Mr Symonette were both proud and
happy, In fact they supported him in his disgraceful actions, They banged their desk
and grinned .as if the man had done something good and honorable.

It appears as if they do not know any better. They are drunk with power, And lack good
common sense. They will do well to remember when one spits in the wind it will blow back
in ones face. the FNM members and their speaker acted like school yard bullies. Little
rude Children. with no proper up bringing.

Isiah says ‘childish leaders rule over my people and women oppress them’. And the scriptures is not speaking of children or women, but leaders who behave like children and act on their emotions like a woman instead of letting common sense prevail and exercising the leadership skills of a man. So as the young people say ‘all y’all needs to stop going to the House of Assembly wearing panties. And girdles.’

The men that is*

Heard on the street today, ‘Halson Moultrie did not expect to be where he is today ( speaker of the house) so he is tapping on the microphone a few times to see if it’s really on.’ Can you hear me now?

That's mean

I strongly remember dem kikkin out Andre Rollins one time for outburst, das the PLP dem I mean.. stuff does go around and come back full circle

In a more mature westminister democracy like the UK,Canada or New Zealand,the speaker would have resigned by last weekend. But this is the Bahamas.
