Starting with the auditor-general department is methodical, and allows investigations to take place while Minnis organizes the new government. Results of the auditor general should be then taken to either require criminal prosecution or a broader Royal Commission of Enquiry on more damning issues once the details have been collected. I see this as a good approach.
Price and lack of inclusion of local DJs was the main reason why the attendance was poor.
The price was $20 entrance per night (That's $40 if you go the entire weekend). You still have to pay for food and drinks. The event was on the beach, so you could still here the music even if you didn't enter the actual grounds. I saw many persons literally say "NO" and turned around when they were told the entrance fee. I need to confirm, but it wasn't $20 in the past.
Secondly there was a message floating around Freeport via WhatsApp encouraging persons to boycott because there was no representation by local DJs or local tech support. All persons were brought in from Nassau.
It seems the low turnout was mainly due to the Committee's disconnect with the local Freeport crowd (have to understanding your price point, and include the local help).
Hey Reality Check...IF the FNM wins, something will have to be done to address the deficit. Undoubtedly Minnis would need to rely on the strengths of his time to assist him on that since his expertise isn't in Finance. If I compare the teams of the FNM vs PLP vs DNA...it seems FNM has the strongest group of financial/economic experts on the ticket (marginally).......soooooooo even if that rumor was said....it's unlikely it will go into practice.

Why is the budget for the Office of the Prime Minister quadrupled? What exactly has happened since the initial passing of the budget to cause a significant functional requirement of the Office of the Prime Minister beyond the Offices of each functioning Ministry? #AskIngForAFriend #AFriendRegisteredtoVote
Precisely! Until we have the right level of local talent, we will have to bring in external resources...otherwise we perish. Wake up. We're still a third world country.
Finally ...Minnis finally gives the right response. You are right Mr Minnis...the problems of this country are the issue...not the leadership of the FNM. When election time comes let's focus on that! Who's solving the issues this country faces? Crime...poverty...economic downgrade...Paris is burning!
Senator McCartney...just because others do it; doesn't mean its OK for you to as well...rise above them. If you want these type of statements to stick, please also include facts and examples that the people can corroborate; that's the only way to make sure your voice is above all the other noise 'we the voters' are hearing.
