The Ministry has seen the article of 19 January 2017 that appeared in the Huffington Post “For immigrants trapped in the Bahamas, a paradise lost”  by Kerry Kennedy, President of the Robert F Kennedy Human Rights.  The article is replete with errors and exaggerations.

The Robert F. Kennedy organization is not a credible source of information. Mr Kennedy is well known to be associated with a rich individual who is a disgruntled permanent resident, who is funding money to Mr Kennedy and Save the Bays, a so called environmental organization, who are  running a campaign of disinformation  and destabilization. The Government puts  no reliance therefore on their objectivity or commitment to the truth.
