CHILE please, the current iteration of the PLP is only checking for PLPs.

Nothing really has changed about the PLP since the Pindling era. Ever since 2012 it has been, PLPs to the spoils of victory.

FNMs, swing voters and other opposition supporters need not apply for any government job.

For as the late Clement T Maynard, former deputy prime minister in the Pindling administration, once famously said, he only checking for PLPs.

The political apple hasn’t fallen too far from the tree.

It would appear that PM Perry Christie has inherited many of the victimising traits of his political father, Pindling.

Christie once raved about a certain code of ethics in his first administration. Not surprisingly, nothing is ever said about that ethics code nowadays. And even when it was bandied about back then, it wasn’t worth one Haitian gourde.

PLPs such as V Alfred Gray and others are warning Bahamians that an FNM administration under Dr Hubert Minnis would victimise PLP civil servants.

This while FNM civil servants at ZNS and other government run departments are currently being systematically harassed and threatened.

Interestingly, these very same concerned PLPs who are fretting over what an FNM government might do to them are silent over what their PLP government is doing to FNMs today.

In 2012, PLPs were gloating over FNMs who were dismissed from the civil service. They were saying that’s good for them.

The Whistleblower is willing to bet that about 90 per cent of the recent customs and immigration recruits are PLPs. The remaining ten per cent are too afraid to express their political persuasion, for fear of losing their job.

One young Bahamian woman who has her BGCSEs and BJCs attempted to gain employment at Customs. She was asked if she is PLP. When she said no, the government representative informed her that only PLPs are being hired. FNMs need not apply. The only qualification one needs in order to gain a government job is to be PLP.

The only qualification one needs to secure a lucrative government contract is to be a PLP. Just ask Toggie and Bobo.

The incident concerning the young lady didn’t happen in the 1980s when Pindling was at the zenith of political power; it happened this year. You pay PLPs any mind, you would think FNMs such as the young lady don’t pay taxes in this country.

While unqualified PLPs are being hired at a frenzied pace in order to make the 32,000 jobs claim believable, educated and qualified Bahamians are being turned away because they are FNMs.

This is happening today under PM Perry Christie’s PLP government that claims to believe in all Bahamians. They are over bloating government departments with unqualified PLPs who will cry victimisation when an FNM government will be forced to make some very tough decisions shortly after this election. Chile please, the PLP is only checking for PLPs.
