Allow me to provide some clarification regarding the financing of our project. A local commercial bank has expressed interest in financing our initiative, subject to their customary due diligence process, which typically takes between six to eight weeks. Their approval is contingent upon our company securing the necessary endorsement from the Bahamian Government, which is a standard prerequisite for project financing.

Assuming that the government adheres to its reputed consistency, I must apprise the Minister that we submitted the project to the Cabinet under the Minnis Administration and have copies of the correspondence. The Minister should be aware that we cannot pursue funding until the government accords its approval. However, we have yet to receive a response from the Cabinet regarding the status of our proposal.

We wish to avoid any public disputes concerning this matter. However, if the government encounters any complications as a result of their decision to locate the department at the Summer Winds Plaza, we remain open to considering our proposal. "We firmly believe that the citizens of the Bahamas merit better than the present situation".

"What is deeply troubling is the misuse of government institutions by elected officials to bail out party members facing financial and personal crises, all at the cost and inconvenience of the Bahamian People. It's alarming that these open secrets are tolerated in the Bahamas, whereas in other normal societies, such actions would be viewed as criminal activities."

The Minister is constrained by a culture of cronyism that underpins the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP). Therefore, it may be prudent to show some leniency towards her. Leslie is a prominent member of the PLP and is likely to exert significant influence, even if it means overlooking other practical options or the impact on Bahamians. These organizations couldn't care less about the people of the Bahamas.

> **Cronyism over progress.**
>
The FNM and PLP political parties have shown little concern for the well-being of the Bahamian people. Despite our company, PTI Bahamas, offering a comprehensive plan to modernize and improve the Road Traffic Department (RTD), both parties prioritised cronyism over progress. They shared our project plan with their party members, ignoring our efforts to prevent corruption and wastefulness in the Department. We aimed to provide the public with a secure, comfortable indoor environment for fast and reliable service while detecting fraud and stolen vehicles.
>
The offer provides nine new RTD Suboffices in Freeport and the Family Islands and the building of a 70,000 sq. foot-4-story building to service the RTD head office, and technical department for the issuance of license plates, driver's licenses, indoor vehicle inspection testing (with vehicle safety reports), new driver tests and driver's ed program at minimal start-up cost to the Government of 3.7 million dollars (which covered the costs of data integration to a new system and staff training). The plan for the new RTD 'illuminated' the wait time for replacement plates and plate issuance, producing new plates in as little as 10 minutes and 18-point vehicle inspection in 18 minutes at no additional cost to the public. The 30 Million Dollar project was to be funded by PTI Bahamas in a 20-year collaboration with the Department and the Bahamas government.

Would you ever believe the words of a Pirate (Expulsis Piratis/Restituta Commercia): “Piracy expelled, commerce restored”? It never happened. It is still the Republic of Pirates, and this will not change anytime soon ...hahaha

> behaviour incompatible with the
> ethical standards

Based on the information provided, the emails produced by the FBI, if authentic and accurately depicting the Prime Minister's actions, raise serious ethical concerns. Using one's political influence to benefit a family member constitutes a breach of trust and an abuse of power.

In the context of these allegations, the Prime Minister's actions, as described in the emails, appear to indicate behaviour incompatible with the ethical standards expected of a public official. If these emails are substantiated and verified, they could significantly impact the Prime Minister's suitability for office. Such actions undermine the principles of fairness, transparency, and integrity, principles vital for effective governance and public trust.

The legal authorities must investigate the authenticity of these emails thoroughly and, if proven genuine, take appropriate legal and ethical measures. The citizens have a right to expect their leaders to uphold the highest standards of ethics and integrity. Transparency and accountability in addressing these allegations are essential to maintain the credibility of the political office and to ensure the public's continued trust.

Soloman was a gentle soul, widely respected in our community. Not only was he a skilled carpenter, but he was also a devoted family man dedicated to providing for his loved ones. While his communication style might have been occasionally irksome to some, it is unimaginable that such minor differences could ever justify the heinous act that took his life. Soloman's untimely departure serves as a painful reminder of the need for compassion, understanding, and unity in our community. We must stand together, reject violence, and promote empathy to ensure that such tragedies never recur.

Is The Bahamas under military threat? When did this happen? The sight of heavily armed military personnel on Bay Street during yesterday's event was truly alarming. It's not every day that Bahamians carry arms, so why the show of force, and what message is being sent? This display of power and lack of respect for the Bahamian people is concerning. It begs the question, what do political leaders and 'what appears' to be their personal armed forces think of the Bahamian People, the people they are supposed to serve? How far will their loyalty go should Bahamians exercise their rights to disagree and protest as democracy allows them? 'would we see heavily armed military personnel firing on Bahamian People'? These are questions that demand answers.
