Can Gaming Ministers Really Serve?
from Bahamas News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
The Gaming Board claims Sebas Bastian and Leslia Miller-Brice can serve in Cabinet despite their ties to the gaming industry, arguing the law restricts licenses—not ministerial roles. Bastian stepped down as CEO of Island Luck before becoming Minister of Innovation, while Miller-Brice’s husband resigned from A Sure Win before her appointment to Culture. Critics say the board is dodging the real issue: whether these ministers or their families still hold financial stakes in gaming operations, especially since the law bans Cabinet members and relatives from owning five percent or more. The Board cites confidentiality, but lawmakers demand transparency, especially as gaming is vulnerable to money laundering. The debate hinges on whether these appointments align with the law’s spirit—or if they’re exploiting loopholes for passive investments.
