The larger question is, does she run the FNM website and if so, is this a conflict?

If she is I would say it's a conflict of interest. Even if she is the most impartial person that ever graced this planet. Once there is the possibility of an appearance or question of impartiality then a conflict of interest exists. For example my father was the principal and when any of my siblings and I got rewarded or punished he would not deal with that. Even though I know he would have treated us worse than any other student he knew what people would say and think irregardless. So anything pertaining to us was dealt with by the vice principal. This a small scale example so in my opinion even though she may be great, non-partisan and professional at what she does if the question arises and it already has, there is a conflict of interest

The larger question is, does she run the FNM website and if so, is this a conflict?Sir, that is a non-issue.. you know and I know that websites are operated by parties... when did you PLPs get so holy... recall how steve McKinney was all over the place making announcements for the PLP using BIS equipment and still getting a talent fee from the PLP... man seducer, give me a break...

Peter Ramsey, Deputy Director of BIS seems to have been complaining all over the place and to his good friend Fred Mitchell about Sharon Turner the capable Deputy Director of the Bahamas Information Services. According to fred's website this week - he is reporting the following: Ms. Turner is an FNM partisan who was appointed as a result of her work with Hubert Ingraham during the FNM's campaign. They do not put much stock in her talent but seem to place much of her rise to office on her connections with the Prime Minister. The website claims that she has replaced veteran Peter Ramsay as the Prime Minister's personal photographer, rather than being a true Deputy Director of BIS. What we do know is that BIS needs to do much to improve its services to the public at large and perhaps Ms. Turner needs to concentrate on management and innovation and less on taking pictures of Hubert Ingraham. Leave that to the real photographer.
Well Fred and Peter eat your heart out, Ms. Turner has a responsibility and she does it well, while Peter Ramsey goes all around taking pictures and passing them on to Fred and singling out Fred for photos like he is still the Minister of Foreign Affairs, someone has to be concern the the PLP is no longer the government....
Recall on BI, this same subject came up a few months ago, and Peter Ramsey is one of those Fred Mitchell heck who is known to take info to him.. Hubert has a right to limit his access espically when photos are been abuse by Peter and given to Fred...

Fred them must be forget how they had steve mckinney all ova ZNS before the elections of 07...


Personally even as an FNM supporter she is wrong for that... Peter is one of the nation's finest and he really knows his stuff.. Just check his track record.. Very professional to say the least.. Will we ever see the day when persons will be afforded government employment based solely on their ability as opposed to what they vote!!!! :bouncy:

I merely asked the question, which you did not answer. So I will assume that she runs the website, bringing up Steve is a red herring. The FNM said it is a party we can trust. Furthermore, BIS belongs to the Bahamian people and not Hubert. If we are paying her, should she be running the FNM website?.

She doesnt work for the FNM. She USED to work for the FNM. Furthermore, many BIS staffers, INCLUDING Peter Ramsay do work for others, including the PLP. Is that a conflict that you are supposed to be working for an agency whose mandate is to promote the government of the day, but you also do work for a party thats promoting the exact opposite? I guess there is nothing wrong with that though, eh? JOKES!!!

BIS's mandate is to promote the policies and programmes of the government of the day. So how could posting things to the website of the governing party of the day be a conflict anyway, even if it was the case? BIS' job is to make the government look good..thats what it was created for...or didnt ya know that?? lol

Funny though that when Al Dillette was being paid EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS at BIS to be the PLP and Perry Christie's press officer, even though he didnt actually work at BIS, Fred Mitchell didnt see the conflict in that...I wonder why...

No conflict in my book, but she is a political appointee and should have no problem with getting fired after a government change, I just hope for the day when politrickins come out and openly admit that they fired somebody to put their person in place like I feel they have every right todo and drag the person getting fired`s good name through the mud!

If she is a politcal appointee, I assure you, whenever the time comes, she will continue to be her professional self and bow out gracefully.

The Sharon I know, will not be all over Z.N.S crying VICTIMIZATION. She bigger than that!!

She was taking care of biz before this job ever came along and will continue to work it out long after its gone, dont watch nuttin!! lol....unlike other political appointees I know who hurtin right now cuz their whole world was wrapped around the big money dey was getting to do nuttin, and now that the gravy train is over their limited skill set cant get dem a job sellin white or dark meat.

Any man who takes the helm of an organization, and refuses to clean house and put people he can trust, in KEY areas that are important, to ensure that his mandate and agenda is followed to accomplish his goals, ain nothing but a fool!


This is one instance where you DO NOT keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

YOU KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE AND MAKE YOUR ENEMIES LEAVE!

Regardless of what.. do you see the nerve of these PLPs... suggesting that a Bahamian will be fired simmly because they think that some one is not supporting the PLP... that is why me personally I am so disgusted at the PLP and most of their die heart supporters.... they have no shame, absolutely no.. no an ounce of shame...wutlass, ....

Absolutely agree 100%, its done all over the world, without degrading the people removed. In the US as far as I understand all political appointees submit their resignation (eg. Ambassadors) the day the new President takes office and thats how it should be here.
