Final Position on the Gambling Referendum
January 16th,
2013
In a Press Conference held at the FNM Headquarters today, FNM Party Leader, Hon. Dr. Hubert A. Minnis stated that the referendum is a "royal mess" and that The Bahamas has once again become "A Nation for sale!"
Dr. Minnis has
charged that the PLP government has made no reasonable efforts to answer the
dozens of questions posed by the Free National Movement regarding the
referendum, and that despite their stated position of no horse in the race,
everything the Prime Minister has said has suggested otherwise. He said that the
government has also failed to produce the draft regulations on gambling which
were promised, but has instead kept the people in the dark.
Dr.
Minnis: "Perry Christie is another Otis Redding, singing DREAMS,
DREAMS DREAMS TO REMEMBER! The PLP sold a dream on mortgages, dreams on
national health insurance, and dreams of employment. Perry Christie and the PLP,
sold Dreams Dreams Dreams to remember!"
Dr. Minnis stated
that the referendum process is being rushed and is flawed. In the absence of
the necessary information, The Free National Movement party
recommends that Bahamians vote NO on
BOTH questions on the upcoming referendum.
IF YOU
DON'T KNOW, VOTE NO!
