Notwithstanding the Prime Minister’s address to the country on Hurricane Joaquin, the Bahamas still awaits direction from this government as to what to do. The Prime Minister’s press conference said absolutely nothing! And we in the DNA are most disappointed that no directions or guidance have been given for the Bahamas in connection with this now category 4 hurricane. Indeed, recognizing the unique challenges facing an archipelagic nation, governments of such nations should strive to be proactive and efficient in its preparedness for disaster.

In doing so, the government ensures that means and measures are in place that would allow it to respond quickly and appropriately to natural and manmade disasters. The PLP government has failed in this regard. We ask the question again to the Prime Minister, what exactly did you say? What directions have been given to the people of the Bahamas in connection with this category 4 hurricane?? For God sake PLP….govern this country!!!!

For all of the residents of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, we urge you to take all the necessary precautions to protect yourself as this category 4 hurricane passes. Our prayers are with you and the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.
