Former minister says Fitzgerald exercised poor judgment
Former Minister of Education Jerome Fitzgerald's decision to lobby former Baha Mar developer Sarkis Izmirlian for brokerage, trucking and limousine contracts on behalf of his father was "poor judgment" and caught many in the then Christie Cabinet by surprise, former Minister of Tourism Obie Wilchcombe revealed yesterday.
"[That was] poor judgment on my colleague's behalf," Wilchcombe said.

A PLP apologist who believes his own drivel
Dear Editor,
Two PLP apologists have come to the rescue of their scandal ridden party: Rodney Moncur and one Andrew Allen. Moncur is nursing a grudge against the FNM after it decided not to give him a nomination before the election. The former Workers Party leader, DNA candidate and Loretta Butler-Turner Senate appointee appears to be suffering from political schizophrenia. He is a political oppo...

No more diplomatic gravy train for Fred Mitchell
Dear Editor,
Fred Mitchell had the temerity to lecture the Senate on the merits of globetrotting diplomacy.
Over the past five years Fred became, perhaps, the most travelled foreign minister in the Caribbean, racking up well over a quarter million first class miles each year at the people's expense.
Fred now wants to whitewash his record. But he used a pretty specious argument to make his point t...

Hogs at the trough
In a shameless bid to defend his egregious and hoggish actions, then Minister of Education Jerome Fitzgerald on April 20 sought to appeal to the emotions of the Bahamian people when he explained that he solicited contracts from then Baha Mar developer Sarkis Izmirlian on behalf of his ailing father.
Fitzgerald's emails to Izmirlian -- revealed by The Tribune earlier that day -- and his explanation...

Major admits former colleagues erred
Former Minister of Education Jerome Fitzgerald's solicitation of contracts from then Baha Mar developer Sarkis Izmirlian and Minister of Labour Shane Gibson's acceptance of money from Lyford Cay resident Peter Nygard were "misjudgments that ought not to have happened", former Speaker of the House of Assembly Dr. Kendal Major said.
While reflecting on the Progressive Liberal Party's (PLP) crushing ...

Miller concerned about Christie's mental state
Former Tall Pines MP Leslie Miller said yesterday there was a plan by a group of Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) members to get rid of party leader Perry Christie during the PLP's convention in January.
Miller claimed that the plan fizzled after key members, including former Deputy Prime Minister Brave Davis, backed out.
Miller said Davis and others feared a move to overthrow Christie would create...
