Dr. Minnis, Leader of the Free National Movement (FNM), issued the following statement supporting the disenfranchised Baha Mar employees:

“Today, I am proud to stand with the disenfranchised employees of the Baha Mar. They are demanding that the Prime Minister answer their concerns and I echo their questions. These good people have had their lives completely turned upside down because of this government’s failures and inability to follow through.”

“As our country continues to wait for the 5,000 jobs we were promised, the PLP leaders have taken a hands off approach. They have failed to make any progress on getting the Baha Mar opened, changed their minds several times about who should be in charge of it, provided zero transparency in regards to the status of their negotiations and failed to keep the former employees up to speed.”

“The Baha Mar debacle is sadly just a number on a long list of failures that the Prime Minister and his government have overseen, unfortunately it is the employees and the taxpayers who are left footing the bill and having their lives turned upside down while the PLP tells everyone how great things are going.”

“The Prime Minister must take the concerns of the disenfranchised employees into consideration for it is them who have paid the highest during this debacle. The Prime Minister must answer the disenfranchised employees’ questions because he represents them and he does not represent foreign owned companies.”

“The Prime Minister must make a choice; does the Bahamian government represent the people or foreign corporation?”
