EDITOR, The Tribune.

PRIME Minister Philip Davis’ failure as a leader with no vision, idea and plan to reduce the high crime, robberies, murders and rapes is now impacting the livelihoods of the Bahamian people.

Tour operators and excursion providers had experienced a 50 percent decline in business, the taxi drivers had now experienced a 50 percent reduction in earnings. A Bahamas Realtor lost an $18m real estate house sale on Paradise Island. All because Prime Minister Philip Davis and Minister of National Security Wayne Munroe failed on protecting tourists traveling to The Bahamas, Bahamian people’s lives and properties, as a result the US State Department a warning that The Baha-mas is unsafe for America tourist citizens to travel because of the high crime rate, murders, robberies and rapes. But instead Prime Minister Philip Davis fire Wayne Munroe Minister of National Security, he decided to blame the newspapers, Tribune and Nassau Guardian, for exposing the murders, robberies and rapes happening in The Bahamas, because he is embarrassed and has no ideas, visions, clue and solutions to reduce the high crime rate, murders and rapes in The Bahamas.

As I warned, predicted and prophecy that sooner or later the failure of Prime Minister Philip Davis and Minister of National Security Wayne Munroe to reduce crimes will result in the US State Department issuing a warning that the Bahamas is unsafe for America tourist citizens and it had happened, so it is now affecting taxis drivers, tour and excursion operators, real estate agencies and it will eventually impact hotel occupancy in the very near future.

Expect that the next few months The Bahamas will experience a dramatic impact and reduction in tourists traveling to The Bahamas because of the high crime rate, murders, robberies and rapes that having a major devastating impact on The Bahamas’ image and reputation as unsafe place for tourist in America, Europe and around the world to travel. This again could been avoided but Prime Minister Philip Davis who had traveled more times than three Prime Ministers, former Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham, former Prime Minister Perry Christie and former Prime Minister Dr Minnis was having fun traveling the world than paying atten-tion to the crime problem in The Bahamas, it is time to stop having meeting with people, making promises, blaming the Tribune news-paper and Nassau Guardian for the crime and fire the person who had failed on reducing crimes that is the Minister of National Secu-rity Wayne Munroe.

Until you Prime Minister Philip Davis take the blame for the high crime rate as your own fault and then fire the Minister of National Security Wayne Munroe, the Bahamian people had already lost faith, belief and confidence and they are now paying the price in losing their earning to pay their bills, water bill, electricity bill, rent mort-gages, purchasing groceries, car and homes and private schools fees for their kids.

I am now asking the religious church leaders, business owners and the Bahamian people to join and support Pedro Smith and BFP Party to become the next Prime Minister of The Bahamas and Govern-ment. One Nation, One people, One Bahamas and One God onward forward and upward, to a better and greater Bahamas, for the Bahamian people, chil-dren and grandchildren, help is on the way. Pedro Smith.
