He pleaded for “patience” as the government attempts to fix the outstanding issues at the department.

Don't worry Fred, after May 2017 it will be someone else's problem!

LBT deserves her chance. Minnis has had his and failed miserably.

Good article. Sadly there is no-one in the PLP equipped to be the Nation's leader. Just by associating themselves with this corrupt organization is enough to disqualify anyone as a leader in waiting. Christie will have to be pushed. Among other things, the position of PM provides him with the cloak of diplomatic immunity.

Not at all. My answer is covered by my first line.

There is nothing that can be done whilst the PLP is in power.

If we had a responsible government in place then you would:

1. Place an immediate embargo on all non-essential government spending.
2. Reduce the bloated civil service.
3. Reduce duty on motor vehicles.
4. Enforce the collection of outstanding property taxes.
5. Improve the efficiency of the VAT office by paying refunds on time.

Over the longer term you would:

1. Prioritize greater spending on education.
2. Introduce and enforce a proper Freedom of Information Act.
3. Prosecute all MP's who fail to meet financial disclosure requirements.
4. Place an embargo on any further investment by China in The Bahamas.
5. Make it easier for investors (local and foreign) to do business in The Bahamas.
6. Develop our eco-tourism product and ban all further large developments.
7. Finally, hold a commission of enquiry over the PLP's blatant mis-management of the country's assets during this administration.
8. After the enquiry is finished, tell the world, and specifically international investors, that The Bahamas has been cleansed of rodent politicians that have eaten away at our national assets and our value system.

Four years of PLP mis-rule has set this country back 20 years. The colossal and empty twin towers of Baha Mar will remain a monument to the greed of the PLP elite. There really ought to be another commission of enquiry when this is over.

Absolutely they can! The PLP is running scared of BLT/ Sands. They have even sent out Leslie Miller to shore up support for Minnis. How desperate is that?

If we are talking corruption then the PLP are in a league of their own.

Dupuch says: "And so I don’t waste my time taking The Graduate’s opinion seriously, nor do I waste my time trying to determine who the Graduate is".

You could have fooled me! If Dupuch is not taking the Graduate seriously then why go to the trouble of writing this lengthy letter and publishing it in both main newspapers???

Tennyson Wells is a relic of Bahamas past. People like him and Bradley Roberts need to be confined to a secure nursing home. Why does the Tribune continue to seek out interviews from political dinosaurs like these. Give us articles from young aspiring leaders who have something constructive to say.
