The lesson that has to be learned from this election, and a lesson that sadly was not understood by Mr. Ingraham during his two terms as P.M. is that the structural corruption in Bahamian governance must be put to an end.The only way to do that is to prosecute the senior politicians who have been raping the country's treasury for many, many years. Mr. Ingraham is an honest man, but he did not have the stomach to put his former pals, with whom he fought for one man, one vote, into goal. He simply could not come to grips with taking on that nasty job. If Mr. Minnis ducks as Mr. Ingraham did, the Bahamas will simply keep slipping into the abyss of fiscal chaos and ruin. You cannot stop petty corruption at the "meet the public" bureaucratic level, if the higher ups remain free to steal millions. This task has nothing to do with political revenge. It is the only way to put the Bahamas on a path to true freedom, democracy and prosperity. Mr. Ingraham still fails to understand that.

Obie Wilchcombe sees no evil, hears no evil, speaks no evil. "Move on. Nothing to see here. Am I responsible for what my senior staff were doing? I was at the beach. This is all a mystery, wrapped in an enigma."

"Mr. Christie does not have a poor record."

You are right. "Poor" cannot be used to describe Mr. Christie's record. Poor is not nearly broad enough to cover the level of corrupt, malfeasance he imposed on the country.

Better than the last one. In the country stealing!

Hoping some would rub off.

Noble? Distinguished? Salute him? It is important to distinguish man from conduct? How else to you evaluate a man? This paean is a total joke!

Just close it down. Government run enterprises just turn into slush funds and government propaganda machines. It is human nature. Sell them all and those you cannot sell, close!

Someday let's have a list of "all he did for the Bahamas"....lie, obfuscate, sell his office to the highest bidder, fail to show up in times of crisis, promise material critical to good governance and never, ever actually deliver... How can anyone, no matter how partisan, not gag suggesting that Perry was "good for the Bahamas"? It will take a decade to clean up the messes he left.

Fred has become a pathetic figure. He is a public embarrassment.

This is a ludicrous analysis. The first steps in cleaning up a disastrous mess are to find out where and what the problems are. This PLP theft-ocracy has left the entire apparatus of government in total chaos. The new government is doing exactly the right thing in making their first priority the identification of all the problems. You cannot start solving problems until you know what the problems are and to what extent they have been permitted to putrify under PLP malfeasance.
