Given his part in the Rubis scandal, Fitzgerald is the last man who should be trying to champion Freedom of Information.

Excellent perspective Banker!

" Under the FNM, there will be no more business as usual, we will take concrete steps to make our streets and communities safe and secure.”

Sorry if I am being cynical Dr. Minnis but this sounds just like the PLP in 2012. It is a popular sound bite but nothing else. Give us a clue as to what kind of steps you are thinking of and perhaps you might gain a shred of credibility.

Agree. We have much bigger problems to deal with. Why is The Bahamas so consumed over same-sex marriage when we have corruption rife throughout government and carnage on our streets?

The only party that will be remotely interested in taking ownership of this poorly finished resort is the Chinese Government (in whatever shape or form). The PLP must NOT be allowed to give away any more of the "family jewels" (by way of concessions) to the Chinese to induce them to go through the motions of pretending that the resort is opening soon and is actually a viable operation. Christie and the PLP have failed the people of The Bahamas over Baha Mar. I cannot envisage this resort ever getting to the stage where it can make a profit and I still have my doubts that it will open at all. I really hope I am wrong.

Absolutely! These idiots have no grasp of even first grade economics.

Sir Arthur Foulkes = class act.
C,A. Smith = you fill in the blanks!

You are correct banker - both plans have to go hand in hand.

Bahamians are becoming prisoners in their own land. We are not free anymore to live the life that God intended us to live. We cannot walk the streets for fear of armed miscreants accosting us. We cannot drive on our roads without fear of being ambushed or car-jacked. We do not even feel safe within the confines of our own homes. There needs to be a zero tolerance to crime. It must start with electing to political office persons who respect the rule of law, persons who are upright and honest and persons who have the courage to lead by example. The country needs a fearless leader who will commission a foreign crime zsar to implement the measures necessary to rid this country of the armed hoodlums that have stolen the joy of living from many Bahamians. Christie, Minnis and the rest of the current political elite have no part in the solution, rather they are a big part of the problem.

The country needs to appoint a no nonsense crime zsar who will be ruthless in eliminating the armed scum that have stolen the quality of life from hard working, decent, law abiding Bahamians. This crime zsar must have the support of both the main political parties and cannot be a Bahamian. The country will have to support him in introducing measures that will infringe civil liberties. That should not be a problem because our civil liberties are already being infringed upon if we cannot withdraw money from an ATM without some armed thug with the social development of an amoeba accosting us and taking our money and even our life. We cannot hope to win this war with an aging gynecologist in charge of national security. The PLP has no clue what to do so let's bring in someone who does and is not straight jacketed by party politics.
