Nassau, Bahamas -- Planning is essential when looking to the future development of The Bahamas, and every decision made for the country should be thoroughly thought out, Prime Minister the Rt. Hon. Perry G. Christie said at the Bahamas Chapter of the Caribbean Growth Forum (CGF) held at Breezes, Thursday, April 4, 2013. The Forum was organised by The Bahamas Chamber of Commerce & Employers Federation and CGF partners (the Complete Caribbean/Inter-American Development Bank, the World Bank, and the Caribbean Development Bank in collaboration with the United Kingdom Agency for Development and the Canadian International Development Agency).

Shareholders and stakeholders from the public and private sectors, academia and civil society, as well as the Caribbean Diaspora participated in the forum. Prime Minister Christie explained that he suspects some governments and some government leaders because of insecurity or political arrogance make horrendous mistakes by attributing to themselves all knowledge. "Therefore, you who could help and contribute are helpless, because in our structure of governance you do not have access, either through universities or through the consultative process, because some people do not believe in consultation. They know best and they are empowered because people elected them."
