Re-post: An overwhelming majority of Bahamian voters gave Minnis and his FNM government an unequivocal mandate, based on the many promises made during the election campaign, to investigate the major instances of corruption, fraud and outright theft involving senior officials in the last government and their PLP cronies in the private sector. We the people expect these individuals to be held accountable and responsible under the rule of law for their crimes against us and our country. Minnis will not get more than one year at most to do this. By then, if he fails, the level of widespread public discontentment will reach a crescendo and the long knives will be drawn by very influential and ambitious members of the FNM. And you can be rest assured one of the longer knives will be unsheathed by none other than Carl Bethel himself. Minnis had better carefully watch his back and make sure what he promised gets done by the most transparent means possible without any cute and coy interference by the AG with the proper outcome of justice that must be meated out to restore the public's confidence in government.

Davis and Gibson remind me of Nazi war criminals during the Nuremberg trials. The first line of defense for the Nazi war criminals was: "Yes I was in charge, but I had no way of knowing, and therefore did not know, what was going on!" The second line of defense was: "Hitler {Christie} made me do it or face certain {political} death!"

In the court of public opinion, both Davis and Gibson are guilty as sin for having abused their public office and the public trust for their own self-gain at great expense for all honest and hardworking Bahamian taxpayers. They must rightfully be made to pay for their crimes after full and proper investigations have been conducted to gather the actual evidence of their criminal conduct. As a lawyer, you would think Davis would at least know that dereliction of sworn duty as a cabinet minister is certainly no defense under the law!

Don't forget he/she/it also posts to this website under the handle @Honestman.

"...not among the tainted ones...." You must be kidding! I know for a fact that....well, on second thought somethings are best said at a more appropriate time.

Now you're flying your true colours @ThisisOurs. Suggest you don't for a moment deceive yourself into thinking most of us are like you and Ian Poitier when it comes to succumbing to the temptation to take something for little or nothing from known corrupt individuals like Wilchcombe and Christie. Just speak for yourself and what you would do and don't assume the rest of us are like you and Ian Poitier!

OK @MassExodus a/k/a @banker, simmer down. Try not to become too exuberantly giddy!

Re-post: So Fat Head Obie thinks this fella Ian Poitier is the greatest thing since sliced bread just because he claims to be the first Bahamian to have graduated from Oxford with a law degree. Now that's a real joke if ever I heard one! Let's just think for a brief moment how truly dumb, deceitful and conniving this Ian Poitier must really be. Poitier acknowledges having received large sums of money from the Bahamian government (i.e. from us, the people, as taxpayers) without a signed contract of any kind, purportedly for having rendered valuable services to the Bahamian people. No normal right thinking smart and honest person would ever have done this against the backdrop of the many well publicized allegations of massive corruption made against the Christie-led PLP government throughout its five-year term. Poitier smugly and contemptuously now suggests he had every right to take the very large sums of money paid to him because it was the PLP government's fault (specifically the fault of Obie as then Minister of Tourism and Christie as then Minister of Finance) that no contract was ever properly approved and put in place. Clearly Poitier, with the Oxford law degree he claims to have earned, is not smart enough to appreciate that honest and decent people do not do what he has done......Poitier's actions alone in this matter make him no different than most of the low life thugs (like Sebas Bastian) that Fat Head Obie and Crooked Christie have had many corrupt dealings with at the expense of honest hardworking Bahamian taxpayers. Frankly Ian Poitier is a disgrace to Oxford and that venerable institution of higher learning should strip him of whatever degree(s) they may have awarded him.
