Given the recent debacles (I. Lightbourne - Mr VAT, Bank of The Bahamas) it makes me wonder what is the real story behind Smith's departure. Right thinking Bahamians would expect that as a regulator you are not going to please everybody all the time but act in the public's interest and in accordance with the law.
Was he not prepared to "go along to get along"?. Some good investigative journalism might be good here. Mr. Hartnell, it would be interesting to hear from Mr. Smith. I happen to know Mr. Smith professionally and personally for more than 20 years. He is an upstanding Christian man, firm but fair, values honesty, very professional, passionately believes in excellence and does not "suck up" or take political sides when it comes to carrying out his responsibilities. A man of exemplary character so something "stinks" here!
We need more ethically minded persons who are not compromised in these regulatory agencies.
