With calamity after calamity in recent months, the nation needs to hear from its political leader.

The latest saga, the co-chairs of Urban Renewal refusing to meet with the Public Accounts Committee to discuss the recent Auditor General's Report confirms it is time for the prime minister to stand and deliver.

Oh I understand the need for him to do the "Christie Shuffle" at his latest boondoggle – Junkanoo Carnival, but his political party and the nation is hemorrhaging from alleged corruption scandals, and the Prime Minister is dawdling.

The Prime Minister is leaving his integrity open to question. The general public is beginning to believe that he agrees with what is going on and does not know what he stands for.

This does not bode well for our Bahamaland.

In his 1947 treatise on government, The Web of Government, Scottish sociologist Robert M. MacIver tells us:

"There is grave peril when government usurps control over the myths of the community, especially since government is now armed with powers more formidable than it ever possessed before. Against these democracy is the only safeguard. It is no infallible safeguard, however, for the people can be beguiled by propaganda along specious paths that lead to the end of democracy."

The shameless display at the recent press conference by the two co-chairs of Urban Renewal 2.0 just might be the preview to the front row seat of the demise of our democracy if the Prime Minister does not take the sometimes lonely walk of ethical leadership.

The web of the Christie government is becoming stifling.
