FNM leader Tommy Turnquest raised concerns about the former law firm of a Cabinet Minister receiving a $25,000 retainer from a government corporation.
He also criticized the increasing number of alleged incidents of conflict of interest issues within the current government.
He suggested that Prime Minister Christie’s Code of Ethics be burnt as those who abuse his code are never punished.
Mr. Turnquest made the statement in Grand Bahama over the weekend where he addressed the women’s branch of the FNM.
“I call on the Prime Minister to advise the public what is being done about the Alfred Sears law firm receiving a $25,000 retainer from Bahamasair.
“I call on the Prime Minister to advise the public of the results of his “forensic investigation” into the alleged $10 million received by the PLP before the 2002 general election from Mr. Harajachi.
“I call on the Prime Minister to investigate the many cases where there have been obvious conflicts of interest, and if no sanctions are going to be levied against the abusers, we should burn the Code of Ethics,” he said.
