Nassau, Bahamas - Sidney Collie, Free National Movement (FNM) Chairman, issued the following statement:

“Every day the PLP is proving how much they are pillaging the peoples trust for personal gain. After bombshell revelations that Minister Fitzgerald and Attorney General Maynard-Gibson broke their sacred oaths to uphold the manual of procedure governing cabinet ministers, which states a minister ‘must not solicit or accept any benefit or advantage, whether for himself his immediate family or any business concern, or trust with which he is associated from persons who are in or seeking to be in any contractual or special relationship with the government.’ ”

“Now, Shane Gibson is caught red handed, accepting $94,000 from Peter Nygard, a foreign billionaire who was at the time negotiating with the government for Crown lands. While Bahamians struggle to put food on the table, Shane Gibson is receiving payments from an eccentric foreign billionaire.”

“The PLP continues to demonstrate indifference to Bahamian families while illegally enriching themselves. Once again, I and the FNM demand the Prime Minister Christie to fire the whole lot of his corrupt cabinet members for their inexcusable scams. Although the Prime Minister will do anything to shelter himself and his fraudulent cabinet members from scrutiny, corruption remains on the ballot. If Christie does not act at once, this is the final straw for his leadership. He has presided a wholesale pillaging of our country and its time he goes into the sunset, so we can bring prosperity back and be rid of this pox on our country”.
