Fred Smith says,“I don’t know why the Government of The Bahamas, both FNM and PLP, have to gamble with our future by engaging with a speculator,” Mr Smith said. “This is an astonishingly irresponsible roll of the dice by the Government, and I call upon the Prime Minister and minister of the environment to stop this experiment, this uncontrolled experiment, on our environment. The risk is just too great for the paucity of the return.”
I don't care what you think about Fred Smith, he is exactly right on this.
Dr. Minnis says,"Tomorrow I’m travelling to Cat Island and I will meditate and discuss with some of my colleagues and by the time I come back sometime next week we will have to make announcements moving forward.” Perhaps Prime Minister Minnis could meditate on whether his silence on this oil drilling is helpful to the people of The Bahamas. If he truly meditated with an open mind and intellect the answer would be a resounding "No".
The conflicts of interest seem to get buried as each of them claims the Bahamian people stand to gain. It is sad to see so many get swung. The rot starts at the top. pm minnis- Please speak to this matter and tell us how risking our country, our economy, our food sources, our jobs, is worth the tremendous risks this endeavor involves. I too smell a rat. BPC knows just how to place the cheese.
I heard from a government insider that it is a done deal. Perhaps that is why Prime Minister Minnis is silent on oil drilling. He must know he is being duplicitous in asking for money to help harden our defenses for impending sea level rise, while at the same time making deals that he must know hastens our demise. The rich will simply move. Minnis and our other Bahamian representatives will be long gone when the shit hits the fan. Quicker than their treatment for Covid, our leaders will be counting their oil money bribes in a foreign country. Miinnis is selling this country out. He is not a scientist, he is an opportunist. Just like most politicians. Overly cynical? No.

Why do you only have something to say when oil drilling is concerned. Is this the sum of your concern for The Bahamas? Get a real job.
