Bermuda Trip Debate Continues In Bahamas
The conversation in the Bahamas over the trip to Bermuda in October of last year continues, with the Bahamian media reporting that Free National Movement leader Michael Pintard said “in the absence of receipts from the Progressive Liberal Party regarding repayment to the Public Treasury for a controversial Bermuda trip last year, he cannot be sure that the figure provided by the government’s press secretary last week is true.”
A Tribune story said, “Free National Movement leader Michael Pintard said in the absence of receipts from the Progressive Liberal Party regarding repayment to the Public Treasury for a controversial Bermuda trip last year, he cannot be sure that the figure provided by the government’s press secretary last week is true.
“So first, let me say that in the absence of us seeing the actual list of expenses, which would include among other things, airfare, ground transportation, food, per diem, and any other incidentals, we have no way of knowing if the figure provided to the public in the press conference is true, we have no way of knowing that’s true,” the FNM leader said yesterday.
“Press Secretary Clint Watson said on Thursday that the PLP had fully reimbursed the Public Treasury for Prime Minister Philip “Brave” Davis’ controversial trip to Bermuda in October of last year.
“About the trip, Mr Watson said last week: “That’s behind us.” Though Mr Watson was unable to give an exact sum paid to the treasury, he said: “I think it’s close — from the records I have received — it’s just under $60,000 in total for the entire thing.”
