“Women are doing very well” says Minnis
NASSAU, BAHAMAS As he defended the lack of women in leadership positions in the government, Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis said yesterday he looks forward to the day The Bahamas has its first female prime minister.
When asked whether there will be a gap in female representation until the next election is called, Minnis said: “I don’t know when the bell may ring; the bell may ring tomorrow and therefore you don’t have time for that, but those are matters we will address.
“We always feel that we want to ensure there are equal men and women not only in the Cabinet but even if you look in the Office of the Prime Minister, I’m a male and both my secretaries are females.
