Nassau, Bahamas - In wake of the recent talent search scam as reported by the local media and last year's Mad Talent Showcase scam, the South Beach candidate for the Democratic National Alliance (DNA) and locally acclaimed musician, Sammie Poitier called for a meeting with the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture and the Bahamas Musicians and Entertainers Union to form policies and regulations to govern and protect the entertainment industry in The Bahamas.

The DNA recognizes that the Union was established to represent Bahamian musicians and entertainers. However, considering that we are such a small nation, the Union has become somewhat of an agency or booking agent for local bands and artists.
