RE: Bahamas Immigration Issues
Dear Mr. Ingraham,
I'm saddened to think that the new party in power, the FNM, would allow a Canadian tourist to start a scandal within the Department of Immigration. I imagine that you held meetings with all of your new cabinet members after the election last May and instructed them to take NO ACTION that could be conceived as unethical during your administration--for the sake of the Prime Minister's Office, theFree National Movement party and all the citizens of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.
This turn of events concerning Mr. Rufa on Grand Bahama is especially troubling considering that only last year the PLP had it's own scandal with Mr. Shane Gibson, Head of Immigration who was forced to resign. His scandal permanently scarred the Progressive Liberal Party and involved a paltry $10,000 payment and alleged sex in exchange for 'Permanent Residency' with the since deceased Anna Nicole Smith.
Thus, this whole event concerning Mr. Rufa begs to question
1. the control you have over the Department of Immigration and
2. whether there is a battle going on between thecapital of Nassau Immigration office and the local branch in Freeport.
If such is the case I beg thatyou take swift, forceful and punishable action to squash any power plays being perpetrated in the Freeport office for special treatment to anybody - including Canadian nationals and prominent Freeport businessmen who may have back-door connections with government in Nassau.
This beautiful and young archipelago of a nation is filled with very smart and talented people and I trust that those in power will act in an ethical and religious manner and investigate this matter to the fullest extent of the law.
Prime Minister Ingraham, I believe you to be very deserving of the title including "Honorable", for you have made the people of Pine Ridge, Cooper's Town and all of this nation proud. You are an example of integrity for all Bahamians to follow. I ask you personally to have your Office review the files in this case, review the numerous complaints filed against this person and please send a representative from your office to Grand Bahama to talk with the ex-employees and people who have been so negatively affected by this event.
GODSPEED in your investigation

Accolades to the Person(s) responsible for setting into motion a process to help right the wrongs being perpetrated against Coral Beach today and if not stopped where next.
That letter is incredible. It can't possibly be ignored at this point where so many are involved and informed.
