Bradley B Roberts PLP Nat Chairman

At the opening of Yamacraw Headquarters

Feb. 13th, 2012

 

 

We are at the gate after five long years counting the day when the Free National Movement Government will be sent home packing.

 

Mr. Party Leader,

 

Mr. Deputy Leader,

 

The Great Lady of Yamacraw Melanie Griffin,

 

To the wonderful deep loving people of Yamacraw;   Ladies and Gentlemen, Good Evening!

 

The FNM do not put Bahamians first!

Hubert Ingraham and the FNM Government has not attracted one single major foreign investor to The Bahamas in almost 5 years. All significant investment projects that the FNM are now claiming were initiated and started by Perry Christie’s PLP Government. These are the facts! Hubert Ingraham chased investors away from this country. No wonder we have more than 40,000 people unemployed while Chinese and other foreign workers are employed. The FNM do not put Bahamians first!

ASHAMED OF FAILURES, FNM TURNS TO ATTACKS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hoping to distract Bahamians from record levels of violent crime and an economy failing to keep pace with regional neighbors, the FNM is running a gutter campaign against Perry Christie in the Progressive Liberal Party.

A government confident in its own accomplishments would not be forced to turn to distortions and recycled lies to make their case for re-election, but, in fact, this FNM government is well aware of how often and how far they have fallen short.

Zhivargo has no shame.

The people of Marco City led by Greg Moss chased Zhivargo Laing out of Grand Bahama and now with his tail between his legs comes seeking a home in Fort Charlotte. Zhivargo has no shame. Marco City kicked him out and Fort Charlotte will slam the door in his face. Laing the self appointed economist and Hubert Ingraham are responsible for the financial mess the Bahamas now finds itself. Zhivargo Laing led the charge in making residence of Grand Bahamas wards of the state. Unemployment on Grand Bahama is well over 25% thanks to bad policies of Jr Minister of State for Finance. Lets join forces to keep Laing out!

Major developing serious issues at the BEC

The Progressive Liberal Party is deeply concerned with the very serious financial state of affairs that has beset the Bahamas Electricity Corporation since 2007. We are informed that the Corporation is seriously challenged to pay its oil bill. Just recently Chairman Moss confirmed a BEC oil debt of over $120 million which represents a sizable amount of the Country’s Foreign Banking Reserves. We urge the government to disclose why BEC is purchasing Fuel supplies at spot market prices versus forward contracting and the rate of interest being paid by BEC to its oil supplier as result of long overdue delay in payments.

Stadium Opening cost escalates as PMH Ambulance Services Deteriorates
February 3rd 2012

The Progressive Liberal Party has noted the government’s stated intention to have a significant celebration to formally open the new stadium in the near future. How can the proposed level of spending for one day be justified when Bahamians lives are been seriously place at risk when EMS ambulance at Prince Margaret Hospital has been allowed to fall to pieces?

We know that this event is intended to play a major role in the launch of the Free National Movement’s election campaign. Fine, we understand the role “politricks” will play, and shall deal with that on the “stump”.

Now we know the truth about Freeport’s Dying Economy by Forrester J Carroll Jan 23rd 2012

Now we know the truth about 

Freeport’s dying economy

 

 

 

Kindly permit me to comment on the inflammatory remarks uttered  by none other than the Prime Minister of the Bahamas on Sunday 16 January 2012, at his “ Meet the Candidates rally” at the Grand Lucayan Hotel at Freeport Grand Bahama.

 

Among other things, the Prime Minister stated that Sir Jack Hayward has now divorced himself from Mr. Hannes  Babak ( former chairman of the Grand Bahama Port Authority ) and as such he and Sir Jack are presently discussing ways in which to improve the economy of Grand Bahama.

The following facts were not forthcoming from the Prime Minister namely:
