EDITOR, The Tribune.

Parliamentary Secretary, Renward Wells, attached to the Ministry of Public Works and Urban Development seems to have been judged and convicted as he attends the office but does nothing all day... quote from none other than Hon Philip “Brave” Davis.

Mr Davis further confirms that we live in a democracy – many are questioning that, Minister, because of the actions 

of this PLP Government.
Mr Davis says that the Prime Minister has his report (some four plus weeks) and will at the “appropriate time and in compliance with good governance” make a decision......I suggest on that day we will declare a public holiday!

Surely, it is either Mr Wells did right or Mr Wells breached accepted protocols? Just why is the Prime Minister dragging this issue on and on confirming what even the most supportive PLP feared they are led by an indecisive leader.

Energy policy and policy on Oil Exploration – as usual ZNS News writers got caught up in spinning this to the extreme – the Minister should understand if we were so fortunate to find a commercial deposit of oil from that day it takes seven-years for production to happen. Where is the Bahamian Oil going to be refined?

Sorry Minister: as with so much spin spin and untruths.
Oh that t‘ing BAMSI – I think soon the Prime Minister will wish he never invented that... oh, yes, Sir Lynden wrote about agricultural production and Andros, but in the real world we did have two major agri-business projects which failed... BARTAB with the US and then the Carnival Crystal Palace agri-production farm operated by Israelis. Question Editor: we are told the first item of production from BAMSI will be banana chips – now how many tons of banana chips do we consume? What value of banana chips do we import?

Thank you, Prime Minister, for correcting Mr Gray...maybe he should discontinue his community announcements before he speaks in The House and concentrate on his job? Laughable, sir.
Where are we going - Tourism flat - Baha Mar delayed six-months and no one realised - can’t make decision to lower electricity when it is obvious - BAMSI spending millions - can’t collect Taxes - now they want to change Immovable Property Act which has economically sustained us. The list never ends ...... I think we were swung on May 12, 2012... God help us!
