Financial Secretary's Attack on Bahamian journalist

The Bahamas' financial secretary, a gentleman named Simon Wilson, actually walked up on Nassau Guardian reporter Youri Kemp, and had to be restrained by another minister. You'd swear it was a movie.
After Wilson was restrained, he had the gumption to tell Kemp "I will walk out of here and wait for you." Never mind it was in the full glare of the media.
Now the fact is Kemp could have been a little more subtle when he accused Wilson of lying to the media about a contract awarded to a company called JDL to manage freight at the Lynden Pindling International Airport. But even so, I was shocked to see the reaction of Simon Wilson, after all, this man is a representative of the government. He apologised for his behaviour after, but that does not justify him almost getting into a physical brawl with the reporter, and then threatening him. It is another example of the scant respect for media that is developing among many regional administrations, and that is concerning.
Members of the media, in whatever island play a vital role in protecting the rights of the population and holding those in high office to account. How can they do that job when there are concerned about their personal safety? We must hold our holders of public office to higher standards.
