Hanna-Martin Blasts BDM Over Outrageous Claims
Published: Thursday February 4th, 2010
"This Statement is issued by the Member of Parliament for Englerston and is made in response to the reported outrageous comments by Cassius Stuart, B.D.M. Candidate in the Elizabeth by election. Mr. Stuart is reported as asserting that he has credible information that people by the busloads have been transported into Elizabeth from Englerston and elsewhere at a price of $200 to fraudulently register in that constituency in violation of the laws of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas.
Mr. Stuart claims he has made a specific and detailed complaint supported by evidence to both the Police and the Parliamentary Registrar however, in both instances public statements have been issued refuting his assertions and stating that nothing other than a general assertion has been made. It appears that Mr. Stuart is quite comfortable making wild and reckless allegations which impute the integrity of a community comprised of decent and hard working men and women who have contributed fully to the development of The Bahamas.
I decry his tactics and urge him to conduct his campaign in a way which discloses a respect for the citizens of this country and to abandon this circus like approach to the important affairs of our people."
