The thrust of his contribution is in stark contrast with that of the budget communication and the contribution by his Minister of Finance. It represented a complete about face from his campaign promises recalling that taxing is the lazy way out. It was most unimpressive and lacked a basic grasp of his own budgetary initiatives and what underlying economic principles informed such programs. The Prime minister’s attempt today in the House to justify the unconscionable and massive increase in taxes on the backs of ordinary Bahamians, fell abysmally flat. Statement by the Leader of the Opposition in response to the Prime Minister’s Contribution It is our hope and prayer that God continues to protect and sustain us all. The PLP reaffirms its love and solidarity with the people of Exuma. Given the international dimensions of this and the fact that tourists were involved means that we must not rule out anything but our investigations must be evidenced based and if necessary include international partners. I further urge that a complete and thorough investigation must begin forthwith. I urge the authorities to move with dispatch in caring for the injured. Our thoughts and prayers are with Chester Cooper and the Exuma community at large over this shocking and sobering event.Įxuma will rise again as it has in the past. I offer our prayers for all who were injured. On behalf of the PLP, I offer our condolences for the loss of life. I am advised that several people are seriously injured and there is at least one fatality, reportedly a U S tourist. I was deeply saddened and troubled by the report which reached me today from Deputy Leader Chester Cooper of a serious boating accident in waters near Barre Terre in Exuma.
