Despite some opinions that Prime Minister Perry Christie's announcement of a signed agreement that will see to the completion, sale and opening of Baha Mar was "too vague", Attorney General Allyson Maynard-Gibson believes Christie presented "many details" in his speech.

"The prime minister will continue to be the primary spokesman on this matter and he will give more details," Maynard-Gibson told reporters on Tuesday.

"Many, many details were given last night (Monday) - the provisions that have been made to take care of all Bahamians that were involved in the project, the employees and contractors of Baha Mar and of China Construction America (CCA) and the persons who hold commercial pieces.

"The prime minister has spoken about that and that in itself is very, very significant."

While giving his speech on live television on Monday night, the prime minister said that under the deal, former employees and unsecured creditors will be paid "a significant part, and possibly all" of the outstanding money owed to them. However, Christie failed to mention a named buyer, the cost to complete Baha Mar or what concessions the government had in the Cabinet Office. He also did not take questions from the press.

Nonetheless, Maynard-Gibson believes the agreement is good for the country.

She said the entire situation "teaches the country the importance of faith".

"Everybody believed and was praying that God would take us through all of this and lift the burden and obvious pain that many have been experiencing," she said. "He (God) had the prime minister, whose focus was only on how do we be sure we can assure that Bahamians come out of this as unskewed as possible.

"So we live in a country where we openly profess our faith and this shows that faith pays off.

"God was in the midst of this, trust me."

The attorney general said overall, the prime minister's announcement showed how many people trust him, regardless of their political persuasion.

"...Bahamians have rallied around a prime minister that they can trust," she said.
