EDITOR, The Tribune.

IF there was one thing we heard over and over from Dr Hon Hubert Minnis in the campaign was that an FNM administration would change how business of Government was carried out and integrity would be a guiding light.

The appointment of the hundreds of Boards raises alarm that either the Minnis Government has a very short memory or they are suffering from amnesia as some of the nominations are certainly not in compliance with the FNM manifesto.

Why was a Chairman of a very important Board appointed back to a Board he was previously Chairman of when over the past years he was engaged to carry-out collection services for a Government entity and failed to collect what could be described as a reasonable amount of debts? He was paid a handsome retainer. This same person was to be a candidate of the FNM then suddenly removed himself - I wonder if the two were connected?

Two others whose names not so many years ago were front and centre on all our newspapers with all kinds of allegations in the insurance field but look where they are trusted today?

Another Board which ‘covers The Bahamas’ surely there is a blatant conflict of interest?

It is not a laughing matter that this new Administration actually nominated two deceased persons - this shows the lack of thoroughness.....worrying? The BBC issue on the land - Press Secretary got the story wrong!

Any statutory position like a PS when they go on vacation and someone substitutes doesn’t that temporary appointment have to be Gazetted?
