Photo of The WeekCONFUSION INDEED: the facsimile of the National Review page of the Nassau Guardian. The Guardian even had an editorial on the same issue last week. The Tribune had its own version. The Government when it talks says that its doing a great job. Well we think not. But then again Prime Minister Hubert Minnis is a genius and we are all fools. Our photo of the week of the National Review of The Nassau Guardian describing on Wednesday 23rd October 2019, the decision to change command at the Royal Bahamas Defence Force in mid hurricane relief as a wave of confusion.

The late Sir Clement Maynard when he was Minister of Tourism had a specific worry in the heat of our political battles, racially based as they often were. He used to caution against the rhetoric because he said that The Bahamas was a tourist country. Most tourists who came here were white and American and he wanted to be sure that the reputation of the place was not one of racially inflammatory relations.
The FNM is engaged in a scorched earth policy today. They tried to turn a debate on the budget into a story about drug corruption in The Bahamas. They are always going on and on about corruption and drug corruption in particular. They try to stick that on the PLP.
The evidence is not there to support it but in their league is Candia Dames of the Nassau Guardian who continues with the drumbeat about drugs and corruption.
When you look at the press in other countries on line, it gives you an idea or a perception of what is going on in that country. But now we recognize given how the press in this country behaves that you cannot get an accurate picture from what the press says in another country,
The picture being portrayed in this country by the FNM opposition and our own press is a country that is riddled with drug corruption.
The fact is it is not true.
12 million American tourists come here every year and most have a safe vacation and love the place.
Yet our own Bahamian officials in the Opposition are busy painting negative picture of The Bahamas.
The FNM ought to be ashamed of themselves.

What is happening to Eric Gardiner, a Bahamian citizen, in the United States and in The Bahamas is most unfair. Here is the public account of what happened on 12 May 2026. Mr. Gardiner set out with ten other Bahamians to go to Grand Bahama from Abaco. In the course of the trip, the plane ran into trouble and had to land in the ocean off Florida. It is a mystery how it got there but it did. He was rescued after five hours with the others on the high seas. He was entered into the United States. The others were released and he was detained and then charged, accused of being involved in a drug conspiracy. He was not been able to leave the United States. There is no evidence that he is involved in drugs save for the bald assertion by a U S DEA Agent that the money he was carrying that day was 30k Bahamian dollars and the agent said that it was packaged in a way that drug dealers package money. The claim is ridiculous. Mr. Gardiner said the money for Election Day purposes. The story is that drug dealers deal in in international currencies mainly US dollars. B dollars cannot be spent abroad. In any event, 2 days after the law required him to be charged Mr. Gardiner was charged and brought to court from where they kept him in Oklahoma. He pleaded not guilty and asked for bail. The U S denied bail. He is now to sitting in jail until 25 March 2027 to await trial. This is US justice. It is being dispensed in a prosecution district that the United States President has himself denounced. It is not possible for this man to get a fair trial in the United States.
This story appeared in The Tribune Thursday 25 June 2026:
PROGRESSIVE Liberal Party Chairman Fred Mitchell accused Opposition Leader Michael Pintard of trying to weaponise the Public Accounts Committee, rejecting his call for the committee’s proceedings to be opened to the public and broadcast live.
Mr Mitchell’s criticism came a day after Mr Pintard wrote to House Speaker Patricia Deveaux asking that PAC meetings and hearings be opened to the public, televised on the parliamentary channel and archived for future viewing.
Mr Pintard argued that broadcasting the committee’s proceedings would strengthen transparency and parliamentary oversight of government spending.
Mr Mitchell dismissed the proposal, saying Mr Pintard controls the committee and wants to use it to put damaging and untested claims into the public domain.
“This is the committee of the House of Assembly that he controls, and he wants public hearings and no doubt he wants to use this to allow biased, half-baked information, untested truths get into the public domain,” Mr Mitchell said, urging the PLP to resist the proposal.
The Public Accounts Committee is chaired by the opposition and is responsible for scrutinising public expenditure.
Mr Pintard said opening the committee’s proceedings would bring The Bahamas in line with practices in other jurisdictions. He also pledged a more aggressive approach to the committee’s work, saying the PAC would be “relentless” in seeking answers about the use of public funds and scrutinising government spending.
Under Mr Pintard’s leadership, the PAC intends to continue pursuing investigations into several matters, including the 2023 CARIFTA Games, the Bahamas Jubilee Games, the Consumer Protection Commission’s office lease, the Public Hospitals Authority and government procurement practices.
Mr Mitchell accused the FNM of using rumour and political attacks to damage the governing party.
“The FNM is the greatest progenitor of rumour and mischief in our country,” he said. “They lack a moral compass and are a destructive force. Now more than ever, we in the PLP must be on our guard to ensure that the successes of the party are not eroded by the foul minds of FNM nasty politics.”
The FNM continues with the losing strategy of not dealing with substance or policy but seeking to cloud the public policy with mud and accusations of corruption. It failed them in the general election and two bye elections before that but yet they persist. Michael Pintard, the man who wrote the book on Politricks, does not seem to know how to pivot. So last week the Chairman of the PLP Fred Mitchell expressed sympathy for the 11 people who crash landed in the ocean off Florida in a plane on Election Day. They were flying on a flight to vote in Grand Bahama and ended up in the sea with their lives intact. Yet the FNM has now turned that into a drug story because they (the FNM) accepted lock stock and barrel a story that a foreign agent put in an affidavit that suggested that there was drug money on the plane. There is no evidence of drug money at all. The entire thing was made up. The Americans arrested one man and are holding him in the U.S. So anxious are they to try him that the trial date is not now until 25th March 2027. The FNM Chairman Dr. Duane Sands responded to the PLP’s Chair by accusing Mr. Mitchell of being erratic and reckless. His ma!
The Americans grabbed Eric Gardiner following the misadventure of a plane crash in the ocean off Florida on 12 May 2026 on Election Day. Mr. Gardiner is now charged in the US with a conspiracy to smuggle drugs into the United States and using fire arms to do so. The whole case seems made up out of whole cloth. They took 32 days to charge him, two days more than the law requires and then they kept him away from The Bahamas consul and Mr. Gardiner’s family by taking him from prison to remote prison. He pleaded not guilty to the charges in New York on Thursday 25 June 2026 and asked for bail that was refused. In the course of his bail hearing he told the truth about the 30,000 dollars that the Americans claim was drug money. They have no evidence to show it is. They just asserted it. It is Bahamian dollars. Here is what Mr. Gardiner said in his own attorney’s words in court and reported in the Nassau Guardian: “There was no disagreement from either side that Gardiner was found with $30,000 in cash, nor did either side contest that $20,000 of that was Bahamian money that had been withdrawn from Gardiner’s bank account and $5,000 was in a paper bag with the name of “Politician-1” written on it.” The trial is now set to begin on 27 May 2026. It is clear to us that the U S has no case.
The fish he sells and, also, exports around the world. His catch is the only way he sustains his family and takes care of his personal responsibilities as a leader. What would cause a fisherman to do such a destructive thing? This is the same principal used when it comes to our country. Clearly, this is what the FNM opposition is good at: engaging in self-destructive behavior. Attacking the Bahamian passport is one such example; a portrait of destruction and recklessness. The document citizens use to move seamlessly travel around the world; In most countries, Bahamians do not need a visa because we have negotiated many reciprocal agreements. The biometric features of this document is among some of the most sophisticated security features to date. Nevertheless, the opposition fisherman continues to cast doubt on the veracity of this important document; shouting to the world that the document is questionable. What is the end game? What type of fisherman continues to call his fish stink? An unpatriotic irresponsible fisherman. We have other examples of the Tomfoolery the FNM engages in. Losing three times in a 5-year election cycle has affected the FNM deeply. Politics 101 demands introspection after such losses, instead of lashing out. In 2017 when the PLP lost the general election, the PLP’s party leader, Brave Davis and chairman, Fred Mitchell did not stay down on the map crying “They Rob Us”. Instead, the PLP chairman Mitchell, told PLP supporters through voice notes and visiting the islands that this was not the end of the world, and, we have 59 months until the next ELECTION. That was the posture taken. Within the first three months, all branches of the PLP were meeting and rebuilding. A nationwide Tour by the chairman followed by party leader, listened and then acted. This is leadership. Today, the magnitude of the FNM’S defeat has seemingly not been accepted. We hear talking points about the PLP not having a clear mandate because of low voter turnout. Sadly, the latest talking points have moved into the Realm of Darkness, portraying members of parliament as traffickers, and engaging in other nefarious activities. These malcontents know what they are saying are falsehoods that will not hold up in the court of law; but yet, they persist. Finally, Mr. Pintard, your party lost, and the PLP won, accept the losses, and do better please, with Grace and dignity. Stop calling our fish stink! Leadership demands responsible decision making.
During the Senate Budget Debate this week, Attorney General Wayne Munroe delivered what I considered to be a masterclass on the role of government and the democratic process. His remarks served as a timely reminder that democracy depends not only on an effective government, but also on an effective opposition. Each has a constitutional responsibility to serve the Bahamian people.
The debate itself was noticeably more civil than those in the House of Assembly. Government senators defended the budget, highlighted investments and pointed to measurable achievements. Opposition senators challenged those claims, questioned the government’s priorities and argued that the country is moving in the wrong direction. That is democracy at work.
Yet, as I listened to both sides, I found myself thinking less about the budget and more about the philosophy of opposition politics in The Bahamas.
Every opposition eventually reaches a crossroads. It can dedicate itself to holding the government accountable while presenting better alternatives, or it can make its mission to oppose virtually everything the government does. One approach strengthens democracy. The other gives rise to what I call “the politics of permanent crisis”.
The politics of permanent crisis assumes that every government decision is a mistake, every policy is destined to fail, and every success must be minimized or dismissed. It is a political strategy, but is it a healthy democratic philosophy?
If the government announces a new hospital, must it automatically be condemned because it came from the government? If unemployment falls, should that not be acknowledged? If crime decreases, is the response simply that it is still not enough? If foreign investment increases, should it be viewed only with suspicion? Conversely, when the government falls short, should the opposition not also explain, in practical terms, what it would do differently?
These are not questions about party politics. They are questions about democratic maturity. The role of an opposition is not to make the government comfortable. It is to make the government better. That requires rigorous scrutiny, honest criticism and meaningful alternatives.
Accountability without solutions eventually becomes noise. An opposition that recognizes progress where it exists does not weaken itself. It strengthens its credibility. Likewise, an opposition that proposes practical solutions does more than criticize today’s government—it demonstrates that it is preparing to become tomorrow’s government.
Perhaps that is the real test of political leadership. Is the FNM preparing to lead this country? Well, I would answer that in this way. An opposition cannot simply be against everything. Eventually, it must tell the Bahamian people what it is for. That is the difference between a movement seeking headlines and one preparing to govern.
Last week the FNM’s losing candidate for Fox Hill was seen as the great white whale at the poolside half naked in Greece. This week he is licking a lollipop, and he posted it on Facebook. A shameless exhibitionist.
