Squabble over bank note change
What a dreadful image for The Bahamas internationally to see our Prime Minister and other MP’s arguing about who is most responsible for completely eliminating our Head of State Queen Elizabeth II from our currency notes. There was no public consultation when this process began and none when The Queen was removed from our coinage.
Keep the Queen
Our family purchased a property and made investments in The Bahamas after consultation with your Government Investment Authority and Nassau lawyers. We were told that our investments would be safe and secure because Queen Elizabeth was Head of State and there was a British style Parliament and Court system. Based on these reassurances we went ahead with transactions.
Well done, PM
After many months of criticism of our Prime Minister in the handling of this COVID pandemic in our country (by myself personally)... I feel the need to congratulate him today.
