The same thing that Commisioner Murphy is complaining about was done to the Financial Secretary Wilson. Send home on leave. A vicious smear campaign mainly lead by the mouth piece of a senior FNM politician ,the Punch tabloid against him. Both the Mnnis lead FNM And this current PLP administration are the same when dealing with senior civil servants.
The. Ingraham government had good policy ideas,some of which were not properly implemented or done. Many of these ideas are done in other countries including the caribbean. Tax reform, education and a proper public transportation. system.
In terms of public policy formulation, the Bahamas is far behind Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad. Despite it's proximity to the United States, In many aspects of it's development,the Bahamas is quite backward/ A young man said that to me. Also a person who held several high level positions under the Minnis administration said the same thing to a relative of mine in one of his classes. The Bahamas continued saving grace is its' location to the United States and the continuing long -term political problems of its' neighbors, Cuba and Haiti. If those countries were free and democratic countries, tourism in the Bahamas would be completely different.
The PLP party in the Bahamas is simply unfit to govern. They can't learn from previous mistakes. They don't know proper procedures in governances. They can't do what is right and proper for this country. They can't remove corrupt persons and practices from their party.
The Bahamas has a number of deeply rooted socio-economic problems. These problems are also some of the factors driving the violent crime crisis in this country. There is some research in these problems. I heard a group of intellectuals discuss some of them on a radio show recently.
Bahamians by in large too self-righteous to honestly discuss these problems. They would do what they always do. Blame others for their failures.
The island of New Providence needed local government a long time ago. The cities to which Bahamians run to,when they leave this island have local government. Miami,Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Atlanta, Charlotte, New York, Toronto and London in the UK.
The Bahamas is kept backwards by very vested interests including the politicians. Any attempt o modernize this country affects how certain people make money. That is the opinion of an educated Bahamian with a masters getting ready to further their education.
Brensil Rolle can not talk on this matter. He kept his mouth shut when the government he was a part of, was victimizing civil servants. The politicians in the Bahamas simply believe all Bahamians are stupid.
Hubert Ingraham did his best to create a political culture in the Bahamas without victimization. The Minnis administration operated just like the PLP governments,they criticize. They marginalize and victimize civil servants also. A person who campaigned for and supported the FNM the last thing election said that.
Decisions on erecting monuments should not lie only with the central government in New Providence. The local government should have a say in this matter. The local residents can decide how they want certain events important to them commerated.
That is why you need real local and island governments in this country.This overly centralized government structure is stagnating development in this country. Also the north Abaco port project was designed by former prime minister Ingraham to drive some economic development to that part of Abaco.

The PLP government is blatantly breaking the law.A law they voted for. A government cannot choose which law they will follow. Follow the law.
