MP for South Abaco, Edison Key, and BNT Director, Eric Carey, allegedly got into a little ‘tiff’ at the Abaco Business Outlook this week in Marsh Harbour, Abaco.
During the Q&A at the event, someone asked Key about the rising cost of electricity on the island. Key replied, “If it wasn’t for them environmentalists wanting to get diesel instead of Bunker C, you wouldn’t have these high electricity bills. You got to blame the environmentalists for that one!”
Eric Carey, Director of Bahamas National Trust (BNT), took exception to the MP’s remarks and later told Edison, he was out of line with his response.
Edison in a rage shot back and stated, “We don’t need ya’ll from Nassau coming up here telling us what to do, We built this island,… I helped built this island.”
The row went back and forth for a little for a while leaving onlookers at Outlook in shock at the behaviour of the men.
