 FNM Chairman demands answers to (Asks PLP Leadership a) Simple Question
Newly-elected Free National Movement (FNM) Chairman, Sidney Collie, issued the following statement today:
“Following my election to chairmanship of our great Free National Movement party, I have heard from so many of our fellow citizens both congratulating me on my new role, but also sharing their growing legitimate concerns about the downward direction of our beloved country,” Chairman Collie said, “the Bahamian people want to know what is happening to their country.”
“Their concerns are indeed troubling because over the past several years all of us have seen an eccentric, foreign billionaire lavish the PLP with $5 million in political donations, then operate in our country outside the law. They have also seen a Deputy Prime Minister – one of the highest leaders in our country – work with a group of thugs that have threatened, intimidated and used violence against anyone that dares to question them. It’s no wonder the 2015 Country Report on Human Rights Practices called out the government’s ineffectiveness at implementing corruption laws!”
“So I wish to put the PLP on notice that as we continue our journey on the road to rescuing our country and put it on the path to prosperity and peace, we will demand accountability, transparency and integrity in government and in that respect ask the simple question, “Why have you allowed our country to be sold off to an eccentric, foreign billionaire?,” asked Collie.
“We can not and will not allow the government to turn a blind eye to corruption, our families deserve better. They deserve accountability. I have long been a member of the FNM because it’s a party that listens to our communities and neighbors – and we work for them. Because every citizen deserves to know their government is here for them and not beholden to rich outsiders that feel they are above our laws,” concluded Collie.
