Calling Trade and Industry Ministry Leslie Miller a “national embarrassment” and ill-suited to hold a ministerial position, FNM leader Tommy Turnquest called on the PLP government to remove Mr. Miller from his position as he does not not take advice and is “frequently uninformed and frequently wrong”.
\n
\nMr. Turnquest said that failure to temove Mr. Miller will speak to the competence of the PLP.
\n
\nThe FNM leader’s response was to statements made by the minister on his return from Brussels when he said that the Bahamas had failed to efficiently access assistance from the European Union (EU).
\n
\nThe FNM leader suggested that Mr. miller’s trip to Europe was unnecessary as he failed to bring back the $5 million in hurricane aid he promised.
\n
\nMr. Turnquest further suggested that Mr. Miller was anxious to deflect attention from his most recent trip to Brussels, which was really a “private vacation” and totally unnecessary so far as accessing hurricane relief assistance from the EU.
