The response
of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) deputy leader; Mr. Philip “Brave” Davis
- to the question of conflict of interest in relations to his law firm’s
connection to the Bahamas Petroleum Company (BPC), instigates more questions
than answers.
Mr. Davis
was quoted as saying the following in an article by one Dana Smith in The
Tribune of April 27, 2012 entitled – DNA Demand Christie’s Resignation: "How does it become a conflict? I'm not in
government. When I'm there, then the question might arise, then I'll know what
I have to do."
But, this is general election season
in The Bahamas; and Mr. “Brave” Davis and his consultant to Bahamas Petroleum
Company (BPC) party leader – Mr. Perry Christie are offering themselves as
alternatives to the existing administration via the Progressive Liberal Party
(PLP). Is Mr. Philip “Brave” Davis
suggesting that things only become a potential conflict with a company that’s
seeking to drill for oil in The Bahamas - which his law firm represents, only if
- the Progressive Liberal Party is successful in defeating the governing Free
National Movement (FNM) – on May 07, 2012?
This is scandalous! Mr. “Brave” Davis, deputy leader of the
Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) – has unknowingly accepted in his mind to probably
start a government with a major scandal of international proportion; only if we
- the Bahamian people innocently decide to vote for an oil scandal ridden
gang. The conflict of interest is in
full swing Mr. ‘Brave” Davis; and it’s a pity that you cannot see the forest
for the trees in this regard.
Bahamas Petroleum Company (BPC) wants
to drill for oil in our waters and the Bahamian people doesn’t know the details
of the deal, nor the environmental risks to our marine ecosystem; it is a major
decision which requires reflective national consensus Messrs. Christie and
Davis.
