Nassau, Bahamas - Dr. Minnis, Leader of the Free National Movement (FNM), issued the
following statement calling on the PLP to table the Boundaries
Commission report in Parliament on Wednesday:
“Crime on the rise, the secret Baha Mar deal still sealed, no Boundaries
Commission report, credit rating downgraded to junk status, failing
schools – and all the Bahamian people get is silence and no plans from
the embattled Prime Minister and his PLP Government. For the past four
and a half years the Bahamian people have only heard empty rhetoric and
broken promises from the PLP Government and now that we have entered the
election season we continue to expect to hear more empty rhetoric. The
Prime Minister should finally stand up and admit to his failures these
past four and a half years and finally allow the Bahamian people to
judge his Government on their leadership- or lack thereof these past
four and a half years.”
“It is time for the embattled Prime Minister to finally give the people
the opportunity to vote for new leadership for this our country. The
first step is to finally table the Boundaries Commission report in
Parliament on Wednesday
after many delays these past few months. The Bahamian people deserve
to see what constituencies the PLP Government have drawn to try and save
their political futures. The Bahamian people are ready to hold this
PLP Government accountable for their failed leadership and the lack of
action on the key issues facing our country.”
“Bahamians know they deserve better and understand that we will never
see any progress on the key issues affecting our country while embattled
Prime Minister Christie remains in charge. It is time to finally allow
the Bahamian people to decide which direction they want their country
to move in – continuing down a route of failure under the PLP or a new
direction and leadership under the FNM. We know that Bahamians want the
government returned to them and the only way for this to happen is
under new leadership with the FNM. When the PLP is removed from power
this next election, the people will finally have their time and the FNM
will work every day to serve them.”
