The real question is not which person in the FNM might be better than the current leader but who is the better leader for the country between Minnis and Christie? Based on what we have seen of Christie over the past 20 months, the answer is obvious. He is so far removed from the reality of the abysmal state of the country that the FNM leader presents a clear alternative. Those in his party who cannot accept that their task should be to concentrate on regaining the Government and not fighting for leadership should take the honourable next step and leave the party.
I guess this means that if a government department makes a questionable decision, the department which will decide whether or not to have the decision reviewed is the one that made the decision. LOL.
On the question of double dipping, this is the established practice for the entire civil service. Does NIB just pay out money without verifying entitlement and does the employer (Government) contribute to NIB and then allow the employee to collect the employer's contribution? NIB came into effect just after mid-1976, and 37 years of this doube dipping by civil servants and Government Corporations means that we coud probably make a large dent in the public debt IF there was a way to recoup. (We could dream.)

Instead of comparing Hubert Minnis to Hubert Ingraham, perhaps we should compare him with Perry Christie???
