Nassau, Bahamas - Sidney Collie, Chairman of the Free National Movement (FNM), issued the following statement, "PLP announcing that they will run on their failed policies:"
 
“As the opposition we challenge this Government to run on its record as they are suggesting.  Their four and half years have been an unmitigated disaster for the Bahamian people.  Junk bond status, endemic unemployment, rising crime which has led other countries to issue travel warnings, scandals, secret deals and continued mismanagement and failures.  The embattled Prime Minster and his PLP Government may celebrate this as ‘outstanding,’ but the Bahamian people feel otherwise and have been turned off by this Government that works to serve itself instead of Bahamians.
 
“We are also glad that Minister Gibson revealed the PLP’s intentions to present its platform at their upcoming contested convention, finally answering questions on the onerous VAT, NHI, and their Baha Mar debacle.  Maybe the Bahamian people will finally get answers to critical questions that the PLP have been ignoring for years. Like, where has the VAT money gone?  Why do they continuously delay the implementation of NHI?  What are they hiding in their secret Baha Mar deal with their Chinese allies?  Why have they not fixed our failing school system?  How do they answer for the continuously high murder and crime rates for the past four consecutive years?  The Bahamian people deserve answers to these questions and it is our sincere hope that the PLP will use this opportunity to finally deliver answers without any more of their empty rhetoric and broken promises.
 
“Rest assured the FNM will continue to stand with the people, holding the PLP’s feet to the fire until Bahamians get satisfactory answers, not more campaign spin.  With our ‘Change Team’ the FNM will finally return the Government to the people in just a few short months, making it ‘the People’s Time.’”
