EDITOR, The Tribune.
A pause from the celebrations to comment on the National Honours. Did Cabinet comply with the Law and Regulations in awarding the two foreign dignitaries their Awards prior to the specific time when such Honours may under Law be announced?
The dignitaries received our Order of Excellence which may be granted to Heads of Foreign Governments such persons not being citizens of the Bahamas who have given exemplary service to The Bahamas on recommendation of the Advisory Committee or the Prime Minister. Refer National Honours Act Reg 18(1) a-c.
Some detail on compliance to the required regulation would certainly be interesting.
Oops... In accordance with the Act announcements are to be made on July 10th and conferment of ‘all’ awards will take place on second Monday in October of every year.
July 9th was not the second Monday in October....
July 9th was not July 10th.
Say no more will wait for a reaction.
