EDITOR, The Tribune.
Another astonishing story in The Tribune on Thursday which lowers the level of political interference to the bottom of the pit and shatters the remaining respect one has for anything political in The Bahamas. Perhaps there is an explanation but I doubt it.
The MP for Long Island is refused the chance to receive hurricane relief for the people of Long Island from Claridge Primary School whom she represents on the direct instructions of the Director of Education.
I assume she wanted to thank the donors for helping her constituents so how petty can the Director be although presumably he or she was ordered to do this by someone higher up. I also read the MP for Long Island was refused permission to speak in the House of Assembly recently about Long Island.
A courtesy that would be given to any PLP – shame. A country without a viable Opposition is a Dictatorship and in The Bahamas, the Opposition seems to be thwarted at every turn by the Government. What are they afraid of?
I think the Prime Minister should consider very carefully and think very hard about what direction this country is taking.
