Fox Hill MP Shonel Ferguson
NASSAU| The Free National Movement is set to announce John Pinder as its next candidate for FOX HILL
This is no news for BP after we knew that soon-to-be sitting
MP Shonell Ferguson would announce she will not seek re-election to the area.
Ferguson was the
raggedy doll of Fox Hill. She couldn’t even keep the newly built constituency community centre lights on.
The FNM is considering current Director of Labour suicidal
John Pinder to replace her in the seat but after BP finishes with
Pinder for these few weeks, they will rethink that mistake.
Dear Fox Hill Constituents,
I write to inform you that l will not be contesting the Fox Hill seat in the upcoming general elections.
I thank the Almighty God for the opportunity to serve the Fox Hill Constituency as its Member of Parliament. Few people are afforded such an opportunity. The people of the Fox Hill Constituency gave me the opportunity to speak for them and to work with them for the positive advancement of our communities, for this I am forever grateful.
To the pastors and spiritual leaders of the constituency who gave me spiritual strength and guidance thank you, the community leaders, Urban Renewal, the principals and staff of the constituency schools – all of whom realised that it takes a village, I say thank you.

NASSAU, BAHAMAS Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis said yesterday that if the Free National Movement (FNM) is successful in being re-elected to office, he and Deputy Prime Minister Desmond Bannister will do something that has never been done in The Bahamas: “split” the leadership of the government.
The prime minister made the statement while leading the mid-year budget debate in Parliament.
“The deputy prime minister and I have a commitment,” Minnis said.

Foulkes: Committee will leave no stone unturned
Chairman of the House of Assembly’s Parliamentary Select Committee on Natural Resources Michael Foulkes said yesterday that the committee will leave “no stone unturned” in its quest to investigate the country’s natural resources.
“This committee is very serious and very determined as to every natural resource of our country and every aspect of them with the strong intent to get all the facts, report them to this Parliament and most importantly, report them to the Bahamian people,” he said in the House of Assembly.
