This leaves a lot of questions...because it appears to me that Mr. Smith was doing the job as required. Was he fired for doing the job?........hmmmmmmm! Whose feathers were ruffled?
Super value is a public company as commented in the press by Mr. Roberts himself some months ago. Shareholders should be given a fair price for their shares. Seems like Mr. Smith was doing the right thing.
As a previously disappointed industry participant I followed Mr. Smith's approach closely, attended industry briefings and read the published material and saw the momentum and progress made at the Securities Commission....something does not line up here....who or what is being protected?......hmmmmmm. Who are the complainers and can the public be informed of the specific complaints? If "there is nothing to suggest Mr. Smith did anything wrong" then what was the "unanimous" Board resolution about? Is it that inscrutable?
Seems like simply another case of "politrix"...first PMH - Coralee Adderley, then NIB - A. Cargill, and now the Securities Commission- Dave Smith....who is the next Bahamian to get the axe because they were "appointed under the former Ingraham administration"?
"We believe in Bahamians"...but sadly these events remind me of George Orwell's Animal Farm... "All Bahamians are equal but some Bahamians are more equal than others".
This is bad for the country, bad for the industry (cry babies get their way and the tail wags the dog) and sends the wrong message internationally and locally to all right thinking Bahamians.
