Bar President Under Fire Over Court Outages | Bahamas News
Description
Progressive Liberal Party chair Fred Mitchell is slamming Bahamas Bar Association head Khalil Parker for what he calls political theater over court power outages, accusing Parker of bypassing proper channels and chasing headlines instead of pushing real solutions. The dispute erupted after repeated blackouts at the Supreme Court, with the Bar demanding a concrete plan — but Attorney General Wayne Munroe insists the Court Services Council should manage it like other critical infrastructure. Mitchell argues Parker should’ve gone straight to the Chief Justice, since courts handle their own capital needs, not the media. Meanwhile, the Bar remains unconvinced, insisting mere fixes won’t resolve the core issue — and they’re still waiting for credible answers from authorities and utilities. While acknowledging the outages hurt justice delivery, Mitchell warns lawyers should focus on advocacy, not partisan posturing.
