The FNM fast-tracked the permanent residency of a person who turned out to be a paedophile, Prime Minister Perry Christie disclosed last night during a mass rally at Pinewood Park.
The prime minister accused Mr Ingraham of being a hypocrite for saying that Anna Nicole Smith was not a suitable person to be given residency status in the Bahamas under any circumstances.
"Hubert Ingraham fasttracked the permanent residency and investment application of a man who had a well-known history of sexual assaults against little boys," Mr Christie said.
The prime minister said that this was an investment application of some significance for the former prime minister who, knowing the history of this man, approved his appli-cation.
"Hubert Alexander Ingraham knew what a sex offender of little boys the man was.
"As I speak you will know that it has become important for me to put in the public domain something as serious as this because there is no doubt in my mind that, whatever one's judgment is of Shane Gibson, there is no circumstance that would make me believe that he should be in the position he is in tonight," the prime minister said.
Mr Christie said that the FNM welcomed the paedophile and fast-tracked his investment application in the Bahamas.
"They allowed this repeat sex offender to come and go as he pleased. This is the same Hubert Ingraham who has the nerve to fix his mouth and talk about morality in high places.
"This is the same man who has the gall to hold himself up as an example of a leader who safeguards the Bahamas against persons of bad character and reputation," Mr Christie said.
The prime minister said that no matter what could be said about Anna Nicole Smith, nothing she ever did in life could have been worse than a man who for years was sexually assaulting little boys before being welcomed into the Bahamas.
Mr Christie made a statement that indicated that for both parties the gloves have come off and both will be "unveiling" the other's missteps.
"On the radio on Sunday evening I said that I have adopted a policy of zero tolerance on the FNM's wicked lies and double standards. This PLP ain' taking this no more," Mr Christie said.
