Nassau, Bahamas - Sidney Collie, Chairman of the Free National Movement (FNM), issued the
following statement titled, Prime Minister Christie’s Decisions having
brought The Bahamas to the Brink of disaster:
“The Free National Movement continues to ratify a talented field of
candidates that understands the plight of the Bahamian people and who
have the work ethic, character and plan of action to help improve the
condition of our people. In recent months the governing Progressive
Liberal Party has sought to denigrate and misrepresent a number of FNM
candidates notwithstanding the uninspiring veteran slate of politicians
they have selected as their standard bearers. The FNM is confident that
the practical innovative plans that we rolled out along with our
dynamic team will usher in a new dispensation in Bahamian politics. The
status quo will be dramatically altered by an FNM Government."
“The PLP most recent attack on our leader Doctor Hubert Minnis and our
candidate for Marco City, Michael Pintard, is riddled with lies and is a
feeble attempt to change the subject from the government’s failure to
account for the One Billion dollars in VAT revenue collected and their
inability to explain where the 32,000 jobs are that they claim to have
created since 2012. The PLP has not managed our economy well nor have
they overseen the affairs of our nation well. The Bahamas has and
continues to suffer under Mr. Christie’s leadership and the weight of
his fat-cat Cabinet Ministers and cronies who grow wealthier while
ordinary Bahamians struggle to find jobs, pay bills, school their
children and feed their families."
“We are confident that much like our other gifted candidates Michael
Pintard will not only succeed in winning Marco City he would lead the
way in restoring the economy in Grand Bahama and The Bahamas. The
reality is that Perry Christie shouldn’t be worried about our change
team and should instead be answering to the Bahamian people on the state
of our country that he has led into the ground on every measure."
“Dr. Minnis has made the point repeatedly that the PLP specializes in
spinning the truth and deflecting the facts so as not to admit that they
have failed to govern effectively and honestly. However, the PLP is
unable to distract the Bahamian people from the fact that their Mortgage
Relief program failed; that the economy underperformed on their watch;
that we were downgraded to junk status under Christie’s guidance; that
serious crimes hit a record high under Christie’s management; and that
the judiciary was threatened and verbally attacked by the Christie
Administration. It is not Dr. Minnis’ judgment that should be
questioned! Instead, it is the many, many horrible decisions by Perry
Christie and the PLP-led Government that have brought The Bahamas to the
brink of disaster.”
