NASSAU, BAHAMAS – The Bahamas Public Services Union is calling for the prime minister to intervene as he alleges employees at the Road Traffic Department are being harassed by a contract employee.

On Monday, the Ministry of Transport and Housing issued a statement saying quote “The ministry takes grave exception to personal allegations against employees being made public while the allegations remain under investigation by independent parties.”

Union President Kimsley Ferguson says employees aren’t unhappy.

Ferguson says he reached out to Transport Minister Jobeth Colbey-Davis, but got no resolve.

When contacted, officials from the ministry’s communications unit declined to comment, noting that an internal independent review is ongoing.

Meanwhile, Ferguson says multiple public servants were threatened and alleges one was spat at.

Ferguson says the union is also calling for the removal of this employee.
