Nassau, Bahamas - Dr. Minnis, Leader of the Free National Movement (FNM), renewed his call for Minister Gray’s firing following the Prime Minister’s comments in Parliament:

“The embattled Prime Minister has finally broken his silence on the secret proposal to give away 20,000 acres of Crown land and our fishing rights to the Chinese Government and this is not good news for Minister Gray nor the Bahamian people.  On Monday, Prime Minister Christie said, in front of Minister Gray, that his Cabinet has not approved the proposal that Minister Gray signed off on.  This begs the questions – how could the embattled Prime Minister not know of such an ill-advised and ill-conceived proposal that was being conducted by his own Minister right under his nose?  And next, the people want to know, if the embattled Prime Minister doesn’t agree with this proposal – as he stated yesterday –why is he allowing Minister Gray to continue supporting these ongoing negotiations and why does Minister Gray still have his job?”

“Even a blind man can see Minister Gray continues to subvert the will of the Bahamian people, yet he goes on unimpeded.  This is insanity, who is in charge of this Government?  The people deserve an answer and more importantly they deserve action.  After weeks of all but ignoring the growing scandal the embattled Prime Minister was forced to address it.  But this ill-advised deal still lives, and this inept and hopeless Minister still hasn’t been fired!”

“After weeks of backlash from the Bahamian people the Prime Minister is serving up his typical double-talk when he suggests this in Parliament.  Does he mean his dealmaker – Minister Gray – is sitting next to him?  This is bizarre, but unfortunately unexpected from this Government.  The Bahamian people are tired of their empty rhetoric and broken promises. We must institute a true reform agenda that includes a Freedom of Information Act and bring transparency and accountability to government. A Minnis led Government will be a people’s Government, answerable to the people, not the chosen few like the PLP’s Chinese allies.”
