I will applaud anyone, whatever their previous personal history, who says that it's SHOW and tell time!! Mr. Symonette, when challenged re conflict of interest, did the honorable thing and resigned. Let others follow his example! These are new days and different times and we should have a zero tolerance of cronyism, bribery, conflict of interest and any other form of form of corruption!
Fred "freeze your in mind in mental slavery" Mitchell must be the most spite-filled and biggety Member of the HOA. He better get ready for "war-like" and " bellicose", because I expect plenty more of that is headed in his direction.
If the unthinkable happens, and Mr. Izmirlian is "pushed aside" by the involuntary winding up conspiracy, I do not believe that the hotels, who are part of Baha Mar, would still be interested in doing business with whomever takes over the project from Mr. Izmirlian. The hotels negotiated agreements that took a long time to complete, and no doubt Mr. Izmirlian's zeal, vision, and gravitas, played a large part in building the relationships with the various hotel groups, to the point that they finally were confident enough in Baha Mar to make their various commitments. Their belief in the integrity of the Bahamas government must have been severely shaken by the petty minded and unbelievable treatment being dished out to Mr. Izmirlian.
If Baha Mar were to be left in the hands of cca, ceximb and the Bahamas government, does anyone seriously think that the participating hotel chains would carry on as if it was "business as usual"? They would all bail out, and that would leave the Baha Mar project with little or no chance of ever succeeding.
The entrepreneur that dreams the dream, and labours for 13 years to bring the dream to 97% completion, absolutely, and undeniably, remains an indispensable ingredient in the developments' eventual success.
The Bahamas cannot afford to wait while Fred Mitchell struggles to "Free his mind from mental slavery" ! The political game plan of PLP politicians like Mitchell, represents the same mindset that this party had in the 1960s... the Race Card! ..."FREEZE your mind IN mental slavery" ...and continue to blame the white man and foreigners for all of our nation's problems!
The Bahamas can only move forward to the bright future that awaits us if we set new high standards for our elected officials, and have the means in place (F.O.I.A) to monitor their performance in a transparent and accountable manner.
To sell newspapers! But also because he is a power broker in the PLP and when he speaks his nonsense many PLP supporters believe every word he says and wholeheartedly agree with him!!
