@KapunkleUp.He should not do that.He should develop policies with the input of the civil servants .It is really the permanent secretary and the senior technical officials who should manage those ministries and departments.

Most politicians don't have the technical back ground to manage those ministries. That is why you have a civil service. A former FNM MP said something like this on a radio show. He wish he could take every man, woman and child to Canada. So Bahamians could see how it is governed compared to the Bahamas.

A poison chalice. An economist from the Royal Bank of Canada felt that this country is on verge of a debt default. Also this country may have to enter an IMF program. That is the reason for this early election. It was done before in Jamaica.

There are no magic bullets to this country's problems. Don't believe what ever foolishness certain politicians or certain elements of the media say.

Dr.Minnis should resign as party leader. That is how it is done most times in countries that follow the Westminister model of governance. It would allow the FNM to elect a new leader who can start the process of rebuilding the party. In fact, all party offices should be put up for election.

There are quite a number of FNMs who are dissatisfied with Dr.Minnis's leadership. Also quite a number of persons were shoved aside by him for perceived disloyalty. Quite a number of FNM's did not vote in yesterday elections because of their frustration with his leadership.

A poison chalice is what the PLP has won. There will be no victory lap or parade for them. There will be no honeymoon. They have to get down to work right away .No shucking or jiving for them.

This is a country with serious problems. Deeply rooted problems, some of which they have created. A health care system on the verge of collapse, battered by the COV19 pandemic. An economy whose main source of employment, tourism has been severely affected by the COV19 pandemic. A growing debt crisis. An Increasing cynical and jaded electorate.

Some bahamians have this fantasy since the PLP won the election, these problems will magically go away. There is no magic bullets for these problems. It will take some superb management and governance skills. If not, the PLP will be right back in opposition shortly.

There is no objective media houses in this country. They either have personal agendas or are beholden to various business interests.

The Bahamas is a barely literate country. Most Bahamians don't read much. Libraries in this country are both under resourced and not fully utilized. I was surprised that the yellow building next to the Stephen Dillet primary school was a library. I never saw any body enter that building.
The main library for Broward County in Fort Lauderdale was over six or seven stories high. I would not talk about most of the book stores on this island.

Dr. Minnis is a disappointment to say the least. Arrogant, inept, dissmisive and incompetent. His saving grace is that Phillip Davis is problably worse than him. Like some one said to me, I am not a fan of Dr. Minnis but I just can not support Mr. Davis.

This is also one of the worse cabinets and group of parliamentarians ever. Their performance was simply mediocre at best. They have collectively made a series of bone-headed decisions. Like some one said to me ,Bahamians love power and politics. They do not understand governance nor management.

The late Arthur Hanna was a bahamian patriot of the first order. His contributions to the development of this country should be well=known,

I always say that bahamian history is not really taught in the school system here. Quite a number of Bahamians don't understand that they are the beneficiaries of policies advocated and developed by the late Arthur Hanna.

The same way, a lot of bahamians are unaware that the economic model in the Bahamas was not developed by the PLP. This economic model was developed by the late Sif Stafford Sands and the late Sir Harold Christie.

Two tremendous performances at the Olympics games by Miller-Uibo and Gardiner. This nation has produced many world-class athletes. Per capita ,the Bahamas has produced more world-class athletes than many more larger countries.

Mr. Johnson is the acting financial secretary. In a more advanced country, the nature and circumstances of his departure from his last job would already been disclosed in the media. He is woefully unsuited for that position. He would not pass the vetting for that position in any first-world country.

A man among men. A true bahamian patriot.

Take your well-deserved rest sir, after years of service and sacrifice. God Bless.
