Devastating for Long Island which is left with just one bank in Grays, a 35 mile drive from either the northern or southern tip of the island. Most of all I feel for the employees some of whom drove over an hour everyday to get to work, and we're dedicated and took pride in their jobs. Scotia rewarded them by laying them off and they have no realistic prospect of employment on an island that is an in an economic depression. Well done Mr. Christie, in your current delusion you would call this job creation.
Truth be told this is the way the political system works in the Bahamas. It is a sad commentary on our state of governance and political interference that Minister Gray could not seem to comprehend that what he did was probably illegal. He was imbroiled in another recent case of interference with an administrator in crooked island. It seems to be his modus operandi, business as usual. It is just that this case became public and I commend the administrator for being honest, and bring it to light in Mayaguana. As minister Gray is the superior( boss) in this case with his employee he has a disproportionate amount of power in this relationship and bears similarly the disproportionate amount of blame.
Tal unquestionably Minister Gray needs to resign from cabinet as it appears he interfered in a judicial process. It is untenable to be sitting in cabinet while a police investigation in ongoing. You should agree with this. As for this case I have heard conflicting reports on both sides. One makes this young man out to be a devil, another a saint, the truth is somewhere in between. But in an effort at true justice I feel his case should have been heard by a magistrate in Nassau. In the interest of justice Minister Gray must resign until he has been exonerated, and if convicted of this serious offense he should be sentenced to at least a short period of incarceration.
Without commenting on the merits of this particular case, I live on a family island and this practice of the island administrator acting as a magistrate really needs to be amended. The power of these persons to incarcerate is truly frightening and they do not seem to have been trained specifically as magistrates. I can understand them having the power to issue minor fines, but they should not have the power to adjudicate a case and sent someone to prison. Those cases should proceed through the traditional court system in Nassau.
Please find the article and post it if you can find it. If what you say is true then Fred smith was wrong and should apologize. Now again, will you condemn the alleged interference on the part of Minister Gray?
Birdie you might be confused, Fred Smith said he was meeting in a senate building where the hearing was, not with the senate. If you have a quote or evidence otherwise please provide it and I will agree with you. Back to the matter at hand will you condemn judicial inter fence on the part of Minister Gray?
Yes we know that Birdie, what about the allege crime that may have taken place, will you condemn Mr. Gray if he engaged as it appears in judicial interference?

By the way scotia earned 5.7 billion in net income last year, as much as our national debt. How is that for a wonderful corporate citizen?
