SENIOR FNMS TO MINNIS ‘YOUR TIME HAS PASSED’ Cabinet Ministers who served in Minnis administration say former PM’s move risks undermining FNM unity By EARYEL BOWLEG Tribune Staff Reporter ebowleg@tribunemedia.net FORMER Cabinet ministers from the Minnis administration reacted with dismay yesterday after Dr Hubert Minnis announced that he intends to contest
Killarney as an independent candidate, a move that would sever his ties with the Free National Movement and upend one of the party’s safest seats. While acknowledging Dr Minnis’ past role as prime minister and party leader, several senior
figures said his decision to break from the Free National Movement risks undermining party unity while offering little realistic prospect of success in a system dominated by two major parties. Former deputy prime MINNIS - SEE PAGE FIVE

US INVESTOR GETS family of hit-and-run victim GREEN LIGHT FOR $35M CAY REVIVAL By KEILE CAMPBELL Tribune Staff Reporter kcampbell@tribunemedia.net
A FAMILY says a man was left to die like an animal on a dark roadway in New Providence — and they are now pleading for the driver who struck him to come forward and face what they did. Dominic Archer Brown, 48, died Monday night from injuries suffered after he was hit by a vehicle while crossing Robinson Road on Sunday evening. His cousin, Alicetine Johnson-Francis, said the driver never stopped. “He’s a human being, and he has people who love him — he’s not an animal,” Ms Johnson-Francis, 53, said, as she appealed for the person responsible to come forward and give the family closure. Ms Johnson-Francis said she learned of her cousin’s death through a family member and has been overwhelmed

by grief since. She said Archer Brown, known as “Dommy” to relatives and friends, did not deserve to die the way he did.
A US investor yesterday confirmed the Government has provided all approvals for his $35m acquisition that promises to revive the Berry Islands’ Great Harbour Cay destination after 50 years of economic stagnation, Matt O’Hayer told Tribune Business that it was “a real privilege and honour” that the Davis administration has paved the way for himself, and his Vital Shores LLC company, to close the purchase of Great Harbour Cay’s resort, marina and golf course from long-standing owners, the Fender family.
