So Shame, since this is about transparency and good governance, why don't you also call for a select committee to investigate bamsi, nib, bob and all the other areas of government that lost significant amounts of money in the last 5 years?

If history is any indication, they don't need to win a seat to ensure the FNM does not win the election as happened in 2012. The truth is that the DNA will win more votes than they did then and the FNM cannot win with the DNA pulling 20,000 votes of the 80,000 or so who will vote.

Thanks for the history and civics lesson.
But what really is your point? Does referring to the Prime Minister's wife erroneously, sarcastically or cynically as the "First Lady of The Bahamas" disqualify a person to be prime minister? I can think of far more egregious transgressions by dozens of present and former politicians and ALL of our prime ministers which would be more appropriate things to be disqualified by. While you have shown off your intellect, you have also exposed your bias.
For your next piece, examine corruption, victimization, cronyism, ineptitude, and arrogance as reasons for disqualification and see how many of our present crop qualify.

"We are safe" says a man who was himself shot and almost murdered outside his own front door. Safe my arse!!!

Wow! George Smith actually makes sense. Surprising, coming from a PLP.

This is a total election gimmick. You had four and a half years if you were really serious. Unless someone is held accountable, arrested, charged, tried and sentenced to prison this will be nothing more than a colossal waste of time and energy. Do we get a select committee on BAMSI, Road Traffic, VAT money wastage, BOB et al too?

So they say they are awaiting official identification by next of kin, but then they went on to say his mother was on the scene...that makes no sense to me.

It is obvious that you do not understand the concept. As it is now, the year over year is way above 15%...especially this election year...so by capping it at 15% you would reduce borrowing and force more fiscal responsibility from our leaders, which is exactly what this country needs.

Shane, stop being shady and provide the people with a full accounting of how the money is being spent. That should be quite easy unless you have something to hide. The man is NOT being irresponsible when he asks for an accounting; you are being irresponsible when you refuse to give one.

So Birdie, are you implying that Doc is lying? Do you have evidence to the contrary or are you just spewing the PLP lines aimed at deflecting from what is going on on the ground?
