Tourism Minister Dionisio D’Aguilar yesterday fired back at Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Leader Philip Brave Davis for making an “irresponsible” promise to cancel a lease for Crown land on Paradise Island that the government is negotiating with Royal Caribbean International (RCI), noting that the project will be “enormously impactful” for The Bahamas. “The comments by the leader of the opposition that he will cancel any lease entered into by the government of The Bahamas and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines (RCCL) are incredulous and irresponsible given that he is vying for the post of prime minister, a position I sincerely hope, for the sake of the country, he never achieves,” D’Aguilar told The Nassau Guardian. He added, “The leader of the opposition should also really think and get the facts and the thought process behind the government’s decision before he spouts off from the mouth. This government is into responsible management of our economy in the best interests of all Bahamians and not just a select few of cronies and supporters.”
