Mr Cash....... you are representing a party of candidates who wish to hold public offices here in the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. As a result, all matters relevant to you and your party's campaign to govern the country should be made PUBLIC aswell. If you wish to hold public office, then all of your actions related to the Opposition must be known to the public. You can't just conveniently ask a political rival to "mind his own business" whenever he makes a valid point! Furthermore, Brandville is right. Darron Cash created this hysteria by going PUBLIC with his claims of an illegal police raid. Now he's attempting to "fade into black" as it is revealed that his wife may have compromised banking laws pending an investigation. "Stay out of FNM business" seems to be a convenient way out for you, doesn't it? But let me tell you... it doesn't work that way Mr Cash. Both you and John Bostwick have become careless, and allowed yourselves to fall victim to mistakes that the PLP can use to destroy what little credibility is left in the FNM.

Listen.... Many Bahamians are unaware that Mr John Bostwick is a two-face. On one hand, he aspires to be an astute politician. And on the other hand, he has delusions of being a gangster. Furthermore, like most children born to political families, he is under the direct assumption that our laws don't apply to him. Many years ago I told Mr John Bostick that his character would be the cause of his own demise. Now, some eight years later, he's seeing the manifestation of my words. I wonder now if that faithful conversation crosses his mind.

Perry and his clique have taken it and used it to grease their pockets. Every time the government allots a large sum of money for any particular project; some of the money always goes missing. Bahamian governing 101.

Cobalt says...

Woe. That kind of technology is very expensive. Plus drones have a limited range. But this is still a good idea.

So after all the fuss that Darron Cash made.... After all the claiming that he was a victim of the police and had his constitutional rights violated, it turns out that the police were justified in confiscating his electronic items??? I guess he and his wife didn't realize that the NIA was illegally, and secretly listening to their phone calls as they leaked sensitive information on the affairs of the BOB. But because the police force's means of acquiring this information was illegal, they could not charge Darron Cash or his wife with any wrong doing. However, this breech in privacy revealed that his wife's actions were in violation of banking confidentiality laws. Thus, I'm guessing that she will eventually be fired. Very intriguing. Bahamian scandal at its best.

Listen... Dr Hubert Minnis was brief, and definitive in his judgement of John Bostwick. Furthermore, he did the RIGHT thing. He did not leave the public waiting and wondering. These are fundamental traits consistent with leadership. Attend any job seminar and they'll tell you that.

Don't get me wrong. I know that my above mentioned comments seem bias towards the FNM. But truth be told, I neither support the FNM or PLP. It just really vexes me when Bahamian politicians feed the citizen of our country nonsense, and expect us to believe it. Their comments, reasoning, and excuses are just indirect ways of calling Bahamian people fools. They insult our intelligence every time they open their mouths.

Dear Mr Mitchell.....first of all, the average Bahamian dose not have the necessary resources required to prove that you politicians are liars and have indeed been spying on the Bahamian public. So it's easy for you to demand proof of action, especially when your government does everything in secrecy and clandestancy. As a matter of fact, investigative reporters themselves have difficulties uncovering certain truths regarding government day to day operations. People only become aware of political crimes after each action becomes manifest and the motives behind these actions are exposed... and by this time, it's usually too late (just ask the people of Bimini).
Second of all, it's amazing that whenever the PLP is caught up in their usual scandal, they always try to divert the attention away from themselves by placing the blame on the FNM. This type of strategy is what the PLP has become known for, and is classic, typical "plantation politics" (muddy the water in order to confuse the fish). The truth of the matter is; the Bahamas government has been spying on the Bahamian people, only to find that the United States government has been spying on them! Furthermore, the idea that Hubert Ingrham and the FNM initiated a program for NSA to intercept phone calls, is ridiculous. The Bahamas government fell under the radar of the DEA and CIA after Ronald Eagan declared a "war on drugs" during the drug running regime of Sir Lynden Pindling's PLP back in the 70's and 80's. During this time a number of Bahamian politicians were indicted. However, an extradition treaty with the United States did not exist yet. Ever since then, the U.S. has been spying on us and monitoring telephone calls. They're doing it to every country in the world for crying out loud! Yet, Fred Mitchell expects us to believe that this isn't the case. Instead, he wants us to believe that spying on the Bahamian people by the U.S. first started with Hubert Ingrham and the FNM. Get real Fred! The United States has been spying on us since Sir Lynden Pindling and the PLP allowed Joe Leadher to operated a cocaine hub in Normans Cay!

The FNM did the right thing. It was the honorable and dignified thing to do. Dr Hubert Minnis deserves to be commended for displaying such leadership and decision-making skills. He was concise and decisive. I doubt that Perry and the PLP would have shown such class and professionalism.
