Nassau, Bahamas - Amongst
thunderous applause from a crowd of some four hundred people, FNM Party Leader,
the Hon. Dr. Hubert A. Minnis, publicly introduced Frankie Campbell and Donald
“Don” Saunders as the FNM candidates who will represent Southern Shores and
Tall Pines Constituencies in the next General Election. The event fashioned like a mini rally and
marked the official launch of the FNM Election Campaign, as Dr. Minnis called
for the return of transparency and good governance, while FNM Deputy Leader
Peter Turnquest led the charge for the Party to stay focused. The combined Southern Shores and Tall Pines
Constituencies monthly meeting was held at Garvin Tynes Primary School on
Tuesday, January 19, 2016.
Whether
crime, the economy, high unemployment, or corruption, Minnis said he has heard the
cries of Bahamians everywhere lamenting that ‘something has got to change.’ Minnis
pledged that the FNM will treat crime as a priority and with urgency. “We will work to eliminate the places where
criminality flourishes and increase the CCTV program started by the FNM. We will increase the use of mobile police
vans and mobile forensic labs. We will give the police the freedom to do the
job without political interference and support the Police Staff Association. We
will pass effective laws and make the necessary changes to our legal system,”
said Minnis.

Southern
Shores Candidate, Frankie Campbell reminded the enthusiastic crowd that it was
the FNM that developed Carmichael into “City 2000” and built three schools, one
Post Office, one Police Station, a Library and a Clinic. Campbell pledged his commitment to continue
to build on that infrastructure and to work intimately with the residents to address
and bring resolution to the challenges and issues facing the community.
Don
Saunders, reflecting on the ideals of FNM Founding Fathers told the crowd that
it is the true sense of democracy that continues to strengthen the movement of
the FNM. Pleased to represent Tall
Pines, an area of Carmichael Road where he grew up, Don said he is committed to
national service and nation building and dedicated to bring resolution and
change to the people of Tall Pines. Saunders
embraced the FNM’s crime fighting vision and further committed to work with
businesses in the community to promote economic growth and development.
