Selling dreams Dr. Hubert Minnis.
Always one to read the temperature of public discourse and react accordingly, Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis has promised to accelerate the implementation of a sovereign wealth fund, an independent, non-partisan, transparent and accountable entity “to manage some of our most valuable land and our precious natural assets for the benefit of the Bahamian people”.
If the prime minister still widely held the trust of Bahamians, if in fact he ever had, his pledge might have offered some reason for optimism and satisfaction among many who have been quite vocal in recent months about the need for the protection of the country’s natural resources and the exploitation of these treasures for and on behalf of the Bahamian people.
