BAHAMAS Public Services Union president John Pinder yesterday threatened to unseat Foreign Affairs Minister Fred Mitchell if he makes “one more brazen remark” against him in the House of Assembly.<\/P><\/p>\n
Mr Pinder was hitting back at comments Mr Mitchell made in the House last Wednesday with regard to the BPSU demonstration led by him.<\/P><\/p>\n
“If Mr Mitchell makes one more brazen remark against me in parliament he would have committed political suicide. I will ensure that he loses his seat in Fox Hill, whether that involves me running against him or campaigning against him. I will make sure he loses his seat,” Mr Pinder said.<\/P><\/p>\n
The minister yesterday replied that Mr Pinder should stand by for his response in the House of Assembly on Wednesday because, as he said, “not only one woman born a crazy child.”<\/P><\/p>\n
“The public must be assured that notwithstanding anything Mr Pinder does, I am not going to be drawn into some personal tit-for-tat with him.<\/P><\/p>\n
“We both have a larger duty to the public service and to the Bahamian public to ensure that
\nthere is a stable public service: The future of public servants is not some horse of convenience to be ridden for one’s personal ambitions,” he said.<\/P><\/p>\n
Mr Mitchell in parliament last week responded to a demonstration of about 300 BPSU members and supporters in front of the House of Assembly.<\/P><\/p>\n
