An Open Letter to Prime Minister, the Hon Philip Davis:

Dear Mr Prime Minister:

I see that you and your hopeless PLP government are now concerned about the national news reporting of serious crimes in the country – especially murders as headline stories. You said that the news reports are hurting our tourism product.

You and your PLP party seemingly were not at all worried about the alarming murder rate or The Bahamas’ tourist industry more than a decade ago when you splattered the island with stupid billboards - taking delight in the murder rate under the FNM government of the day. Indeed, it was the past; but we reap what we would have sown in the past – Mr Prime Minister!

You do not know that, sir? Enjoy the whirlwind harvest of your foolish actions of the past - in the field.

I pray that you and the PLP find your good senses, and lead a government of national unity to solve the plaguing vices which seriously threaten the very fabric of the Bahamian society - and the peace and security of our beloved nation, and people. We are all vulnerable to violent crime right now, sir. No one is an exception – in my view.
