They did not appoint those who were best qualified; they appointed their family, friends and party insiders. This sounds just like the way the PLP gives out government contracts.

“The PLP continues to shock me with the lows that they will reach when it comes to lining their own pockets. They are willing to sell their party to an eccentric foreign billionaire, give government contracts to their friends and family and appoint those same friends and family to oversee and run the Bank of The Bahamas. The same bank that required a $100 million bailout not that long ago. We need to elect people that will work” – FNM Chairman Sidney Collie
