COVID protocols... rules are made to be kept, Mr Prime Minister. Feeble excuse.

Health protocols are and have to be taken seriously not frivolous and optional... we all know we have been told you can be a spreader and not have any visible signs of the virus... isn’t there a fine attached to breaching quarantine?

If we don’t believe me the news will get out how infectious The Bahamas is and no US Canadian tourists will visit... so far as many say we’ve been blessed…blessings can quickly turn into a curse! We mustn’t let that happen.

Da Dubai Camelot fiasco... best advice to OPM’s Director of Communications is to close his mouth as every time he opens up on this issue he goes deeper and deeper into do-doo - quick sand.

Official spokesperson confirms Shabak/Clint Watson received from the Treasury fully paid “free” air tickets... probably 15-20 persons at at least $1,600-1,800.00 a ticket... $32,000.00... that is direct specific financial benefit in any language... don’t care if the group went unpaid for performing - they didn’t eat? Did they sleep in tents in the desert?

Rooms and food at least a further $30,000.00 rounded off - who paid for their hotel - who paid for their food? Bet ya Treasury?

General Orders are very specific… Article: 900-919 inclusive…. Secretary to Cabinet please do your duty.

Boy, how can they ask Minnis now to account? They better and that is millions to be covered!
