Let that drunkard go. He's a casualty and can cause the entire team.
The guy has added nothing of value to this ministry since his appointment and his obvious challenges with substances are becoming a threat to this administration's popularity
Must be a tight situation for the attorney general.
These guys pretty much agreed with and accepted money from every and anyone to be elected to power - even those that didn't make much sense or with questionable backgrounds.
Now the party finds itself, trying to draft policy that doesn't offend their supporters or people that they embraced but still want to appear to be in the best interest of the people.
The attorney general goes in so far as to make specific hints at a particular lawyer and situation but still plays it safe by not singling out the offender.. maybe he wants to ensure donation and support remains intact come 2022 ?
He was returned to the house of assembly in overwhelming numbers even during a tidal wave against his party - do you need anymore indications on what they think of him?
Yeah.. The Attorney General was way out of line for this statement.
His revelation of $75million in savings as a result of sending 2,500 Bahamians home without a job is tantamount to celebrating the ending of livelihoods for his own fellow Bahamians.
Even if the honorable minister feels that there was a savings due to the restructuring in staffing, his celebration should've came once innovative ways to get the affected and other vulnerable Bahamians back to work..
It's preposterous.
I wonder - when a person becomes an elected official is a detachment from reality the first requirement?
How can you an issue a statement like this - from a position of security (The AG still has his job, will still be paid, has a private law practice, declared in excess of $1million on a public disclosure form, gets driven around and eats 2 meat in the senate) and not care about the perception it will be interpreted by the most vulnerable among you?
I caution this administration - if you continue to celebrate Bahamians going on the unemployment - vulnerable and affected Bahamians will do the same to you.
All this means is the government should quickly amend the law so as to reverse the precedent set in this case.
The general consensus I'm getting from the public is that - Bahamians, given the threat of our sovereignty as a result of illegal immigration, do not agree to birthright citizenship.
When you take into consideration the state of our porous borders and lack of national security, it is important that law spells out that requirements for citizenship go beyond a safe delivery... notwithstanding the fact that first world countries who have the means and resources can accommodate such a law.
Failure to do so means two things in the immediate future:
The financial burden is on the immigration department and by extension the government to repatriate not only Rony but any number of nationals that may fall within the same circumstances.
Secondly, it would mean that the government would almost immediately have to ramp up national security measures at our borders to ensure that this precedent does not encourage other nationals to come here and have babies knowing that even if they do not apply through the proper channels at 18 - like Rony - their offspring will still be entitled to Bahamian Citizenship.
Act now Hubert.. Stand up like a man...!
Give us the referendum so that we can amend the constitution to reflect the needs of 20th century policy!

IF Frank Smith's trial is the precedent for PLP's prosceution,
fred ramsey - fnm mcm member will in the near future - remain the only parliamentarian in the country's history ever convicted of corruption.
Must stink for the party he represents.. especially seen as past FNM Deputy Leaders were also implicated in the trial - barely missing prosecution.
