While Obie is very unpopular at the moment and should've allowed this statement to be released by someone who has more public reception, the outgoing minister is correct.
How can you rationalize making Bahamians redundant, regardless of political persuasion, but on the back end contract a foreign firm.
Are Bahamian's not capable of marketing The Bahamas, is this the message D'Aguilar is sending?
Do Bahamian's not deserve the opportunity to - at minimum - submit a proposal to do the same?
Wow D'Aguilar, continue to lose popularity by the day.
Ironically, the reputable article posted above says nothing to validate your claim. Both Tribune and Guardian reports that protests were held as a result of the PLP administration's attempt to bail out the bank. The exact same solution the FNM is applying right now.
I'm only interested in whats reported, not your opinion.
The first and only reason Minnis appeared to march was because of the Government's bail out of the Bank.... something he is doing right now..
I do not expect any of the FNM mouthpiece commenters to respond objectively to any thing posted here that may harm Hubert or Peter's image.
(Apart from D'Aguilar and Dames,all other MPs have effectively been made sheep with very little or none if any contributions to the governance of this country since the election.)
Calling a spade a spade though, this is hypocrisy to the highest order and its baffling that Minnis would make such a novice political move less than 1 year into his tenure as PM.
He literally just took placards down Bay Street protesting the VERY same PLP-initiative they are now praising and showing confidence in today..
It makes an average non-partisan viewer feel like most of what he says was just talk to win an election.
This guy lost his credibility when he said he would march within 100 days if the government didn't legislate a freedom of information act, instate a 2 term prime minister rule, and repeal vat on bread basket items.
We are 8 days out of the 100 day mark and its as if the senator post has muzzled his thrive for a better Bahamas.
"WE March leader Ranard Henfield, in his first speech as a senator yesterday, said the support Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis has expressed for some of his organisation's demands is proof that the new administration is delivering what activists wanted.
#Mr Henfield said that many demands of the We March organisation are on the table under the new "people's government" and they already have "ticks next to them."
#In May, Mr Henfield released a list of demands of the government. A failure to accomplish them within the first 100 days of the administration would prompt his organisation to take to the streets and march again, he had said. The demands included lowering the cost of living and jailing corrupt politicians." http://www.tribune242.com/news/2017/jun…
No new taxes my foot. Way to protect the big hoteliers and price the small guy out of competition with taxes.
Where are the FNM apologists to defend this poodle?
Add more red tape to tourism why don't ya? After all .. 'we are booming with numbers and doing so well in the caribbean that we can afford to lose visitor numbers due to increased taxes'. </end sarcasm here>
Amazing though we have here in this article a newly elected sitting FNM MP who's clearly taking advantage of the unfortunate in his constituency... but someone in this commentary still spells the acronym PLP?
It stands to reason that the PLP is very far from irrelevant to anyone who suggests the party is at its lowest point.
