This is the most scandalous episode in PGC's shambolic tenure. How can this man be so contemptuous of the general public, many of whom voted him into office as their leader? The Bahamian people are entitled to a full and honest explanation as to the circumstances that caused RW to sign the letter of intent. It's time for the FNM to withdraw all co-operation with the governing party until such time as this matter is resolved. The public too needs to start protesting. This is an affront to democracy in this country.

Tal, I don't think the PLP will fire Perry Christie because he is serving a valuable purpose for those with the real power behind the scenes. PGC is merely a convenient figurehead for the wheelers and dealers within the Party. He is happy playing at being the Prime Minister whilst the hidden deals are being done all around him. That's my perception. I also don't think the party is out of touch with the electorate. I think they know exactly how the public feels - it's just that they don't care. Again, just my perception.

That's far too sensible a suggestion.

Tal, we all know the PM ain't gonna fire nobody! Let's face it, he should be the first to resign on account of a complete dereliction of duty. A Prime Minister is supposed to lead, to take the tough decisions. PGC is more concerned with establishing his "legacy" and trying to legitimize his premiership with unnecessary trips to the Vatican. At least half of the cabinet should never have been chosen in the first place given their scandal ridden incompetence last time round. So don't hold your breath waiting on anyone being fired - it ain't gonna happen.

The Tribune should know better than to have posted yesterday's headline stating that Wells was about to resign. I am surprised that such a professional newspaper would get caught out with that one! This is the PLP we are dealing with. Don't expect this administration and this Prime Minister to display even a modicum of leadership. In any first world country, Wells would either be forced to resign for exceeding his authority or the cabinet would come out and explain why it approved him placing his signature on the LOI. Neither has happened which speaks to the utter contempt this party has for the electorate. Bahamians deserve better than this.

Clearly arithmetic is not Miller's strong point. There is NO WAY the "average Bahamian" is owing BEC $5,000. The guy needs to stand down - what a ridiculous statement. If I miss paying my $400 bill just for one quarter I would be disconnected (happened to me once before due to an oversight on my part). So how can an average household be owing $5,000??? Does the man think we are as stupid as him? I even have difficulty believing the average amount owed could be as high as $5,000 but it is possible because of the huge amounts owed by some, including Miller himself!! It is an absolute scandal that so many customers have been allowed to build up such large arrears. Just another example of Bahamians being indirectly taxed to keep people in positions that are not needed. This is classic third world mentality.

Wells is expected to resign? This would be totally contrary to how the PLP operates. Don't believe it until it actually happens.

You are so right!

The juvenile attempts by PLP ministers to try and put a spin on government's shambolic performance thus far is bordering on the pitiful. Only the severely deluded "dyed in the wool" party faithful will fall for this garbage. The Party would be better off just gagging its Ministers as the more they speak the more their ignorance is exposed.

Why should Dr. Rodney Smith's past plagiarism be a concern for the Government? This should be the least of its worries given the scandal ridden first two years of this administration.
