The Boundaries Commission likely failed to meet the required deadline for the submission of its report. Therefore the constituencies and their boundaries as they were in the last general election will remain unchanged for the impending general election. Christie shot himself in the foot by trying to delay the work of the Commission until the very last moment, mainly because of the unusually low voter registration earlier on. Also, any fair minded individual with an iota of common sense can readily see from the proposed boundary lines for the suggested new Freetown constituency that Christie and the PLP members of the Commssion were engaged in, and entirely motivated by, gerrymandering in an effort to gain what they believe would be an easily guaranteed "free" seat for the PLP in the next general election. Christie's remarks only serve to confess as much. In any event, New Providence already has more constituencies than it really needs, so Christie and the PLP members of the Commssion are hardpressed to come up with rational reasons to justify the significant initial and ongoing costs that would arise from the creation of a new constituency. These are all matters that the Commission members (including Hubert Chipman) and the Speaker of the House have wrongfully turned a deaf ear to.

Nottage must think we are all as dumb as he is. Someone needs to whisper in his ear that all of us know his crime fighting words are without any truth whatsoever because our prison system is already choc-a-bloc overloaded with incarcerated criminals and there's nowhere to put any additional thugs the police may round up and the courts may convict. Bottomline, Nottage is a LIAR, period!

Puppet Halkitis cannot even take a restroom break without first getting Crooked Christie's approval.

So you believe one's humble beginnings justifies all of the crookedness one later does in life. Small wonder most of us usually do not give your comments posted to this website the time of day.

@Well_mudda_take_sic: At least you are one of the lucky ones who can afford the high cost of all the measures you apparently have taken in an effort to protect yourself and your family from the rapists and murderous thugs roaming around everywhere in our country. Just think how unlucky and fearful the rest of us are! I fully agree with you though that one may as well be dead if one is foolish enough not to be armed given the out-of-control crime ridden country we live in today.

Spot on, especially in the case of the corrupt PLP government led by Crooked Christie.
