The Future of The Bahamas
Bahamians Deserve More Than Silence
Many have asked: Which party are you joining None. Not yet.
Not because I'm undecided but because silence is still masquerading as governance.
People Are Worried
An estimated 350,000 Haitian nationals face the termination of Temporary Protected Status in the United States in the coming months.
People are already worried. They're just afraid to ask.
When decisions of that scale are announced, nations in the region have a right to ask what preparedness looks like. Not because panic is inevitable, but because planning is responsible.
What does the US Government know that they aren't telling us?
What does The Bahamas Government know that they haven't shared?
Why the rush? Why the silence? What's coming?
These questions don't undermine national security. They strengthen public trust.
Urgency Without Explanation Breeds Distrust.
Last week, Parliament passed a Smuggling of Migrants Act at lightning speed.
Urgency? Absolutely. Sovereignty matters. Preparedness matters. But transparency matters too.
We are a nation of 400,000 citizens. What happens when 350,000 asylum seekers need a place to go? When does enforcement begin? What are the routes? What guarantees that The Bahamas won't become a spillover zone?
What troubled many Bahamians - was not that action was taken, but that it was taken with minimal public briefing, no visible capacity assessment, and little dialogue about downstream impact.
When governments move quickly but refuse to explain their thinking, citizens have every right to ask why. That silence doesn't calm people. It unsettles them.
The Pattern Is Repeated With Our Elections.
This same silence appears again most troublingly in how we approach our elections.
Since the by-election, I have asked every party the same questions. We are still waiting.
Will you commit to a National Day of Voting so no Bahamian has to choose between democracy and survival?
Will you increase transparency in ballot handling and counting so trust is earned, not demanded?
Will you guarantee secret, secure, verified votes? One person, one vote, one time.
Will you commit to addressing these issues before calling the next general election?
These aren't partisan requests.
They are baseline requirements for trust.
What is concerning is not disagreement on their part, it is refusal to even engage - on borders and on ballots. On what matters most their silence can no longer be the answer.
Why I Haven't Chosen a Party?
I won't offer loyalty to a system that treats transparency as a threat. I won't choose sides when neither side is willing to state its position.
This is not avoidance - it is accountability.
I have been open about my interest in serving. I have been honest about my questions, my values, and the seriousness with which I am approaching this moment.
I am not hiding. I am listening. I am learning.
And I am doing this the way I have approached every arena I've competed in sports, business, entertainment:
Be open. Be honest. Be inquisitive. Be willing to learn how to win without losing your principles.
A New Path Forward
Today, I am launching The Bahamas Future Movement. Not a political party. A civic platform - nonpartisan and uncompromising.
One mission: forcing transparency where silence has taken hold.
We will:
1. Give Bahamians a voice loud enough to be heard
2. Hold every party accountable before votes are cast
3. Make transparency the price of seeking power
I am investing one million dollars of my own money to build this movement.
No donors and no strings; accountable only to the Bahamian people.
The Challenge
To every political party and leader:
Tell us where you stand on election integrity.
Tell us your plan for border preparedness.
Tell us what you know and what you don't.
Publicly - clearly and now.
The moment any party answers these questions in good faith, I will listen and I will engage. I will work together for the future of our country.
When I do choose, it will be where transparency has the best chance to lead.
Until then, I stand with the people demanding answers not with a system that hides behind silence.
Join Us
If you are ready to serve, to ask hard questions, and to help build a future rooted in trust join us.
Our leaders can break their silence, or citizens will build something strong enough that silence no longer works.
