Concerns over Bill on electricity
Kindly permit me to publicly express my views on the Electricity Bill, 2024, which would permit Bahamas Power and Light (BPL), or any electricity supplier, to set their own tariff rates for three years without approval from the Utilities Regulation & Competition Authority (URCA).
BPL must stay under URCA
Take the already high electricity rates out of the supervision of URCA means one single fact … the Davis-Cooper Government does not want to be re-elected … this is suicide for them and a catastrophe for the consumers.
Copying the FNM
Very unusual for the PLP to copy the FNM but for some reason painting white the curbs along our roads is at full force everywhere Government employees are painting away.
FOCOL shares smoke and mirrors
WE may recall about a month or two back an article published in The Tribune where it was stated that “FOCOL was pregnant with opportunities”.
Annoyed by lawless motorcyclists
THE quiet of Sunday evening out west was broken for hours by the wheeling hoard of 10-15 motorcyclists doing their thing on West Bay…right across each side of the street.
Will GB rise to the occasion?
As A Digital Transformation Consultant of Bahamian descent residing overseas, with a keen aspiration to witness the flourishing of my homeland, allow me to commence with the first of several letters. These missives will centre on individuals addressing the promising resurgence of the Bahamian Economy, highlighting the pivotal role of Grand Bahama in this revitalization.
Rudeness by agent for Bahamasair trip
Recently, several members of my family travelled to George Town, Exuma, to attend a 95th birthday celebration for a member of our family.
Where did govt shares in GBPA go?
The recent brouhaha between the government and the Grand Bahama Port Authority that has found its way onto the front pages of your newspaper reminded us of another controversial subject involving these two protagonists.
Minnis and McCartney alliance?
After I saw photos of former Free National Movement Leader Dr Hubert Minnis with former Democratic National Alliance Leader Branville McCartney in Long Island to promote the former’s book “The Power of Determination”, I told a family member that it looks like Minnis is building an alliance
NIB comes through after long wait
I had filed an appeal at NIB in September 2021. It would appear that for some reason the appeal was “sat on” for about two years.
Bahamian traditions soon to end
AROUND 8pm on a rainy night in April some 60 years ago, sitting in the dining room of one Charlie Major, whom I regarded as the finest athlete in the history of The Bahamas.
Feeling the life of the disabled
AS a highly educated qualified legal professional to be discriminated against due to my paralysis by my chosen profession is not only perplexing but very disappointing and extremely hurtful.
What is real reason for Africa trips?
The press release concerning the joint press conference of Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis and Botswana President Dr Mokgweetsi Masisi on March 18, probably emailed to the local press by either a Bahamas Information Services (BIS) or Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) representative, was a tactical strategy.
Travel for the PM is crucial
With the traditional Easter Season upon us, as a professed Christian nation, I will be as neutral as possible. Many have asked why it is the Prime Minister and assorted delegations have been travelling the globe to meet with other Heads of State and governmental leaders. Some have even gone so far as to suggest that public funds are being wasted on such trips. I beg to differ.
We should be better than this
Many years ago when I was a student, I remember being very annoyed by a novel by Evelyn Waugh called “Black Mischief”. I was annoyed because I was of the opinion that the author used a fictional country to illustrate how he thought blacks misgoverned their countries.
