The public procurement bill being presented in parliament now was drafted over a decade ago. According to the leader of the DNA, Mrs.Komolafe. There are other draft bills in the attorney general's office.
What you see happening in this country by both major parties, is simply a cynical game being played.
That is not true. There have been other leaders who have voluntarily given up power.
George Washington did it in the US. He served two terms as president and retired to his estate in Washington. Pierre Trudeau who was one of the longest serving prime minister in Canada also stepped down voluntarily.
Bahamians simply don't understand governance and management. They simply make up things as they go along.
Migrate. I know someone who moved to Turks and Caicos. They got belonger status and eventually have gotten a british passport.
But seriously, this country needs economy, political and social reform. However bahamians like you are blinded by party colours. There needs to be complete overhaul of the political system here.
Both major parties have gotten rid of MPs. Remember Vernae Grant and Kendal Wright. Bahamians have short and selective memories.
Let Elsworrth Johnson tell you of the arrangement with Dion Foulkes that allow him to get the nomination for Yamacraw. Also let him tell you about the arrangement with Carl Bethel. That is how Lanisha Rolle got the nomination for Sea Breeze. Both major parties have back room deals in the candidate selection process.
Dr.Minnis is simply terrible as prime minister. Compared to Mia Mottley, Andrew Holness and Dr.Keith Rowley, he is simply out of their league. .
He survives primarily because the opposition party the PLP is viewed and branded as corrupt. He also enjoys the support of a large section of an unsophisticated media and populace.
However leaders emerge and may surprise people in their performance. Two very examples of that from history are Sir Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln.
