Comment of the week
CANDIA DAMES GETS IT WRONG AGAIN
(The following was originally published as a voice note by the Chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party Fred Mitchell on New Year’s Day 2026—Editor)
Fred Mitchell, Chairman of the PLP made this statement on New Year’s Day:
Freeport and Grand Bahama are places where the PLP has grown the economy over the last four years, and the economy there is set to explode in the coming Months. Never mind the naysayers. We are pledged in the PLP to defend its people.
In my end of year interview with the press people in Grand Bahama, I was constrained to answer the negative headline based on a story written by Candia Dames in the Nassau Guardian a couple of days ago. She claimed that the year and that of the PLP in the year 2025 was characterized by a lack of transparency, the by-election and the affordability crisis. My response is, here we go again, this is lining up to trash the PLP because elections are in the air.
My response is, if I were to criticize or respond or characterize Ms. Dames and her penchant for negativity, all year long, in 2025, I would describe it as follows: as a history of gatcha moments, crackpot conspiracy theories and lies and megalomania leaders of the opposition.
Ms. Dames could have used the Christmas season to even damn us with faint praise by saying, you know, over the Christmas season “you did well, but you need to do better.” But Christmas be damned, she went to the trash can instead.
She could, for example, have said that crime was down. Murder was down 30% under the PLP in 2025; she could have congratulated the female commissioner of police and credited the commissioner of police with the crime statistics even if she didn’t want a praise us, she could have told the crack pots who lead the opposition with their theories on passports and immigration and work permits that they should stop their lies. Stop the mud and deal with the truth. The truth is that it’s been fully transparent.
The national statistics institute tells us the facts on the population, and they point us in the direction of sensible public policy. Instead, she chose a platform where all year long she spun one conspiracy theory after the next and sought to destabilize an injure. And in the end of the year piece, you have a self-fulfilling prophecy in the form of the headlines on Tuesday past. Loftus Roker used to say break it up, go right ahead. It’s your country.
I said to the reporters in Freeport, the PLP is not boastful. We’re not setting our hat so high that it’s hifalutin. We want to reasonably manage our country, keep it safe, free. Well off and at peace with all our neighbours and maintain easy access to the United States. We hope that we’ve done that. And it appears that some are simply to gain power trying to muddy that simple record.
Even on this this marina tax, it is causing some temporary pain.
Bahamians have to say to themselves: what can we do to stand up for stopping the unfair extraction of our resources out of the sea; at what point do we stand up and say people can’t come in and do what they like?
You’re really wrong for that, give us a break and say, well done for the BLP, but you have promises to keep and miles to go before you sleep.

Editorial
----------THE GENERAL ELECTION LOOMS AHEAD
The year 2026 is the year that the constitution mandates that we hold a general election in this country. There has been no repeat government in the country for 30 years. The PLP is trying to accomplish that hat trick. There are strong headwinds that work against the party on that score. One of them is just the sheer weight of history. The other is a series of unforced errors that mitigate against it. The other is the talk about bills not getting paid. However, the country has had in Philip Davis stable leadership and this caused the economy to grow, the tourists to pack the hotels and money to flow into pockets. Crime appears to be headed down. It’s a pretty good record to fight the campaign on, and with some tweaking the PLP should be alright. The party should get the tweaking done because that is going to make the difference between winning and losing. The mandate runs out on 10 October 2026. After that you have 90 days to call the general election.
MICHAEL PINTARD TALKS TOO MUCH AND INAPPROPRIATELY
It was in the middle of the Christmas season, at the Junkanoo Parade no less, when the Honourable Leader of the Opposition Michael Pintard was asked a question. Whatever the question, he in the middle of the Christmas season could have and should have punted the question’s answer for later, and simply wished everyone a merry Christmas. Instead, his propensity for volubility led him to launch a full scale broadside against the government over the marina tax. On the substantive issue though Mr. Pintard should understand that the question of the marina tax is not as easy as it seems. The fact is the marina in Exuma’s Staniel Cay was filled with boats, so the question of a general boycott seems misplaced. However, Party chairman Fred Mitchell says that there is a need to consider whether or not the proper economic rent is being extracted for the use of the resources of the environment by the tourist sector. There are reports of boaters coming here damaging the reefs, over fishing and damaging generally the environment and there must be away to pay for that. The question is where the balance is.
THE BRIDGE OVER A CALM WATERS IN FREEPORT
Fred Mitchell, the Chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party, makes an annual visit to Grand Bahama at the start of the year. This year was no different and he uses the opportunity to check on progress in the island. He stopped to check up on the repairs to the Taino Bridge in Freeport. This leads to one of the most popular tourist attractions in the island and ultimately to the settlement of Smiths Point where tourist like to gather with locals. The bridge has been limping for some time and the Grand Bahama Port Authority an its subsidiary company Lusco just seemed to be stalling in fixing it. It has been down to one lane for some time and now they have come up with a solution, that of pouring fill into the canal, blocking through access for small boats and paving a road over the fill to link the beach to the city. They say this is a temporary solution. Everyone is skeptical. The solution though temporary seems permanent given the fact that the Port and its company do not seem to have the money to maintain the city. Eyes are watching.
GRAND BAHAMA GROWING
The signs are there all around, there for all to see except the FNM politicians. Grand Bahama is growing and coming back from the dead of Hurricane Dorian. The stores are busy. The airport is busy. The churches are full. The tourists are packing the island. We have to thank the steady hand of the PLP for the progress that has been made. There is a long way to go. Ginger Moxey, the Minister for Grand Bahama, predicts that by the year 2027 there will be six million tourists passing through the island of Grand Bahama. Change is coming and we are encouraging everyone to go and invest in Grand Bahama. There will be a need for labour, a need for hotels and a need for restaurants and other services that the island has a problem now delivering with the requisite quality and within the time demanded. The bottom line: Grand Bahama is growing.
THE OUTLOOK POLITICALLY FOR THE PLP 2026
The clock is ticking onward toward the general election that is due by 10 October 2026. The winds seem favourable, but there are some choppy seas ahead. Some of it has to do with the normal exigencies of four years of governing. You make mistakes. You cannot get some things done. Others are unforced errors that slow the project down. But Lynden Pindling used to say:” steady as she goes”. It is our hope that this year, in the aggregate, the people of the country will find it in their minds and souls to elect the PLP to office again. We have a good leader and we think we have the right mix to lead eh country fro another five. Generally then the outlook is favourable but we have promises to keep and miles to go before we sleep.
A WORD FROM ALFRED POITIER
31st December 2025
My last note before the new year wishes.
As far as I know in order to be Prime Minister of the Bahamas you must be Bahamian.
My concern is as a constitutional Christian Nation why is it so prevalent that we assign another nationality to our leaders to create discontent or hatred amongst the masses.
Taking statements out of context seems to be the best political move now a days. If I am having a meeting with a group of individuals and I say I am one of you, exactly what does that mean? Am I saying I am a red blooded human, a Christian, a male or female, a Bahamian or any other Nationality? Truth is despite our differences, geographical origins, skin hue or even native language we are all humans and deserve respect as long as we give respect.
I travel frequently, and I always respect the laws and the traditions and peoples of the countries I visit. Honestly, I cannot think of a time in recent time I encountered anything other than respect in my travels.
As I move about in other people’s country I know my role. I am a guest and I govern myself that way. I expect the same from visitors to my country.
It is time we stop drawing conclusions and creating hysteria. We have a lot of persons that came from Haiti and developed roots in The Bahamas, we as Bahamians disparaged many of those such persons.
My question is, why you lay with and even made babies with these persons you publicly despise? Flesh of your flesh blood of your blood! Now you claim they need to go home when the only place they ever existed is the Bahamas.
Please don’t take this post out of context. I am merely pointing out the hypocrisy among many of my people.
My point is simple, if you are legally entitled to citizenship through lineage or any other constitutional right, then you should get it.
If you are not entitled to citizenship, you are a guest or visitor so govern yourself accordingly.
Lastly, our leaders deserve respect but should also give respect in return. Hate him or love him our current Prime Minister Hon. Philip Brave Davis is one of the most respectful leaders of our time.
The Bahamas is my country, the only one that I have ever claimed and I have no intention of doing otherwise, the Leader of my country regardless of political leaning must be respected unless they become utterly disrespectful to the point where they bring the country to disgrace. Our current Prime Minister is respected and adored internationally which translates to a respected Bahamas Internationally.
So if you are spitting disrespect, please keep my Prime Minister’s name out of your mouth!
Alfred Poitier

MIGUEL TAYLOR WRITES FROM FREEPORT ON SOVEREIGNTY
The Calculus of Sovereignty
A short essay by Miguel Taylor
The Bahamas stands at the geographic crossroads of despair and opportunity, a sovereign nation constantly assailed by the transnational crime of migrant smuggling. Against this relentless tide, a Government’s first and most sacred duty is to secure its borders and protect its citizenry. One essential truth is, a nation’s sovereignty and its humanity are not mutually exclusive. The Smuggling of Migrants Bill, 2025, recently passed in the House of Assembly, is a necessary response to this challenge, an unassailable imperative that provides robust tools to combat organized criminal enterprises, while binding the state to international human rights law. It acknowledges that justice must be two-fold, 1. relentlessly pursuing the perpetrator and 2. steadfastly shielding the victim.
Now, I am no Attorney, but from my layman’s view, after reading the Bill, the law is clear and puts forth a direct action against the architects of human misery, those who traffic in desperation for “financial or other material benefit.” It enhances our jurisprudence, extending the reach of Bahamian law to organizers and financiers operating outside our territorial waters. With penalties including fines up to $300,000 and prison sentences up to fifteen years, paired with asset confiscation, the Bill decisively raises the cost of transnational crime. It preserves this country’s absolute right to enforce its immigration laws, to arrest, detain, and repatriate illegal migrants, while

simultaneously providing safeguards for urgent medical care and protection against violence.
Despite this clear purpose, politically motivated voices of opposition have manufactured an extraordinary public hysteria. Their claims were based on fiction, asserting that the Bill provided a pathway to legal status for illegal migrants, a disinformation campaign that willfully ignored the statute’s clear text and subsequent amendments. Such reckless sophistry undermines a vital national security measure.
For those who opposed the bill based on fiction rather than the statute’s clear text, their outcry, however misguided, is an unyielding reminder of what justice demands from those brave enough to seek it. It demands clarity over cacophony. It demands that we look beyond simplistic narratives to complex solutions that reject both lawlessness and cruelty. The Smuggling of Migrants Bill achieves this difficult equilibrium. It is a bold step toward a more orderly and more just society, where the rule of law serves as both a shield for the helpless and a scale for the guilty. The passage of this bill is not a triumph of isolation. It is a commitment to principled order. Let the implementation begin, and let the record show the critics were wrong.
DR. FRANKLYN WALKINE FORMER MP DIES
Statement On The Passing of Dr Franklyn Walkine.
From Fred Mitchell MP
Chair Progressive Liberal Party
For Immediate Release
30 December 2025
I announce with deep sadness and regret the passing of former MP Dr Franklyn Walkine. He served as a Member of Parliament for Acklins and Crooked Island.
Dr Walkine was a hugely successful entrepreneur and a pioneer in the Air Ambulance Services and in Lake View cemetery.
After the devastating loss of the PLP in 1992, he continued to serve in parliament until 1997, where he defended the people of Acklins and Crooked Is, his ancestral home fearlessly.
He and his sister Dethra were raised by their mother, following the untimely death of their father. She taught them the lessons of thrift, hard work and self reliance.
Dr Walkine brought those lessons to his public life and was forthright and matter of fact. He was a leader in the medical field and served as head of the medical council.
As a physician, he was loved by his patients for his attention to detail.
I have lost one of my dearest friends, my Christmas Day breakfast partner. Now no more.
The Prime Minister has been informed of his passing.
On behalf of the Leader and Prime Minister Philip Davis, our Parliamentary team, the members and supporters, I extend condolences to his sister and son, his friends and wider family.
Farewell and rest in peace.
