There is literally no downside to this, or any reason not to support it, unless you have something to hide. You are a public official. Your records should be public, it is a simple thing.

Bingo!

Down plays, hey. I am not voting until the worst of the worst has been established and there is campaign finance laws with amounts per person donating are established in this politicians world.

Fnm and plp are distracting from the rwal issue because both want millions in donation for their campaign

You want to be like america let us ne like americs

Election campaigns should be funded by taxpayer dollars and all private money in politics should be eliminated, including that of candidates. The playing field must be leveled, allowing competitive candidates of all backgrounds to equitably participate regardless of access to personal or influencer money.

Also, as with all other government actions, transparency is vital. Robust regulations governing campaign spending must be enacted, and funding and spending must be audited by independent electoral commissions. Stiff penalties on abusers should be levied, including disqualification.

Influencer money - including access to resources such as private aircraft -- especially from foreign nationals has been a long-standing problem. In this sphere, we resemble the United States.

It certainly would be a short campaign.
USA, got around this rule by making corporations equals to taxpayers... via Citizens United, totally screwing up their politics.

> “The issue is not who got what donations and who got what money, because there is a system of donations in the country, and some of those donations are tied to, you don’t know, confidentiality interest. If he wants to do that, that’s his business.”

This most sleasy, slimy and disgusting SOB knows full well that the leaders of both political parties, PLP and FNM alike, have been 'selling-out' the interests of the Bahamian people to the interests of highest greaser of their own personal financial interests for decades.

And for scummier than scum Fwreddy Boy to suggest that the illegal bribes paid to political leaders that have become the norm in our country are nothing more than donations impressed with confidentiality, really takes the cake!!

**AS PLP PARTY CHAIRMAN,** -- Why wouldn't Mr. Mitchell, -- Not **just recognize the truth** about individual, corporate, lobbyist and special interests' donor contributions made **directly/indirectly to/for** the benefit of his PLP party or sitting MP or senator, constituency association, election candidate, nomination contestant for party leadership or party office. -- **Public Board members and Diplomatic Appointees.** -- Yes?
