A few things here, because many of you are ignorant as hell.
1) General Orders does not apply to SOEs (zns, baic, wsc, etc.), so Sands quoting General Orders is a red herring. 2) Mike Smith and Pakeisha Parker all employed with ZNS, solicited and received FNM nominations - and not a darn thing was said about it then (by the FNM and the hypocrite FNM supporters). We can't have selective morality now. 3) FNM has abused this privilege many times, where it mattered: Brensil Rolle, for example, was an employee of the Ministry (where he in fact WAS subject to General Orders), when he solicited and ultimately received a nomination from Ingraham in 2007. FNM was silent on this matter. 4) Recently, Senator Rolle, who was attached to ZNS, actively pursued an FNM nomination, in the employ of the great Zephyr Nassau Sunshine.
So, the FNM, including the miscreant Sands, can miss me with all this nonsense.
Tal, please stop with your inaccuracies. In the case of Ed Bethel, he became an ambassador (not moved on to politics) 10 years AFTER working at ZNS. no conflict there at all. There was, and is, no integrity issues in that regard.
Not at the level of Eldred "Ed" Bethel, Calsey Johnson, Carl Bethel or Rusty Bethel, who are The Bahamas' Mount Rushmore of broadcast media/journalists (honourable mention to Charles Carter), Nikki was more concerned about criticizing governments, but she was an earnest journalist.

Exactly. No pension; no health or dental insurance. It is no wonder the government has to (overly) tax businesses such as these.
