Bradley B. Roberts: Minnis still clueless and out of his depth

The Progressive Liberal Party is amused by the FNM Leader and the inaccurate and sloppily repetitive content on the events surrounding Baha Mar during his televised address on Sunday evening.

He is obviously clueless and disengaged as every other arm chair politician in our country. If in fact the Leader of the FNM actually cared about the Bahamian people and met with the Prime Minister when invited, he may have been able to intelligently discuss the Baha Mar issue and avoid his disjointed, embarrassing and incessant babbling that he attempted to pass off as a national address.

The PLP stands with the government and the Bahamian people that Baha Mar must open and it is in the best of the country to unite behind a speedy solution to this issue.

We further agree that Bahamian land, government concessions and the monies owed to Bahamian creditors and contractors should be litigated in The Bahamas jurisdiction.

We also support the government’s decision to pay the salaries of the Bahamian employees of Baha Mar during the process so that they are not disadvantaged by being used as pawns during these legal maneuverings.

The facts surrounding the matter are patently transparent. The facts are that the developer, the general contractor and project financier have all asked the Prime Minister to intervene in this matter, effectively reposing their trust and confidence in the government of The Bahamas and its leader, the Rt. Hon. Perry G. Christie. Putting Bahamians first, the government’s latest strategic move is designed to facilitate the completion and opening of the resort in a timely manner.

Further, every policy decision made by the government on this Baha Mar issue is a matter of public record.

Under this strategic winding up petition proposed by the government, the provisional liquidator will simply replace the developer in managing the completion and opening of the resort in a seamless manner under the supervision of the Bahamas Supreme Court. The PLP applauds the government’s strength of leadership and decisiveness and supports this latest policy position as being the best course of action for the future of the resort, the wellbeing of the Bahamian people and is a positive step in protecting the international reputation of The Bahamas. The government is putting Bahamians first.

Bahamians are advised and will do well to be dismissive of and reject out of hand the misinformation, political posturing and bluster of Dr Minnis. He has proven to be ignorant of the facts surrounding Baha Mar; he has proven that he has no interest in finding out the facts; and has clearly shown that his only interest in this is to exploit the same to further his narrow political interests. This is disgraceful and unseemly. Minnis is clueless and out of his depth as a leader.

There is none so blind as those who stubbornly refuse to see.
