EDITOR, The Tribune
THIS is my comment in response to today's newspaper article under the heading: "More Urban Renewal workers to reportedly lose jobs."
Today's argument is the PLP defending the letting go of persons from the Urban Renewal programme. In short, the FNM has made the claim that persons are being fired from the programme and this is a clear case of victimisation.
The PLP's chairman, Bradley Roberts has hit back and I have to quote him, Mr Roberts is stated as saying ".....the PLP is not firing anyone. It's a blatant lie......my understanding (Mr Roberts) is..some people on contract will expire at the end of the month ...if your contract expires how could anyone honestly say... that someone is being fired?"
Personally, I have come to the point wherein if Mr Roberts were to tell me that it was storming outside and I was standing in the front of a plate glass window and saw the torrential downpour, I would still have to go out and check, but then that's a different story or more of my personal bias; getting back to the point being made....
The PLP promised to reinstate Urban Renewal, the PLP made claims that the crime rate was so high because the Urban Renewal programme was cancelled under the FNM administration, so hold on how did these contracts expire when there was no programme for them to expire under (if there was no Urban Renewal programme in place)? Don't tell me the PLP lied to the people of the Bahamas again? I mean has the PLP been caught in another one of its lies? I know at times you become so accustomed to telling so many lies it becomes very difficult to keep up with them and to keep your story straight. So I will ask Mr Roberts for clarifications: Did you lie to the people then when you said that the programme was cancelled under the FNM or are you lying now to justify sending hard working people home to make space for your political cronies, I mean supporters? They are all Bahamians right? And we all know that the PLP believes in Bahamians without a doubt! Right?
Sir, I await your response to this question and I just know this one is going to be good!

You may have a point on the PLP lying saying that the program was cancelled, but if the program wasn't cancelled, then the people shouldn't be political cronnies because it would've been the same people the PLP hired in the first place. So if we have some sort of victimization here which I don't condone, we would've had victimization under the FNM government of some sort because these would've been the same people hired by the PLP the first time around.

This is an article from the Freeport News, Hypocrisy run wild in the Bahamas by both parties, wake up Bahamians and demand this foolishness being stop. To the DNA, you guys need to make a statement condemning both parties from doing this in order to advance DNA, because somehow a lot of voting Bahamians are tunnel vision.
