We need a commission into alleged corruption
I would fully support a Commission of Inquiry into the allegations of political corruption against Peter Nygard in The Bahamas. In the past, commissions were launched in response to negative international publicity and allegations that ran the risk of affecting the reputation of The Bahamas, and the same thing is happening again now.
Cartwright the one bright spot for FNM
Over the last few years, Bahamians have been watching the steady decline, and I daresay implosion of the FNM. The movers and shakers of the party are already scrambling for an immediate successor but the party is short on talent save for a few.
Unwanted invasion
Re: Observation of illegal immigrants agitating for Ownership/Bahamian people’s Crown land.
Much cheaper options
As someone with an electrical engineering background, I found the description of the problems and goings on with the new power generators unbelievable and almost risible if not for all the money being wasted.
Time to end licence chaos
Having just licensed three vehicles this week, I suddenly realized why there has been such an outcry about people driving uninsured vehicles.
Scratching back time
Fake News Network (FNN) political operatives in this country lie more than fish drink water.
Achieving social justice
We cannot effectively commemorate World Social Justice Day – which was held on February 20 – without reflecting thoughtfully about setbacks and progresses made by poor countries in tackling social injustices.
Allow us to pay in cash

The dangers of supressing news
In the 1970s and 1980s I watched our Bahamas change. Drugs came here in large amounts. Young men were dealing it and making plenty, plenty money. Young men just barely out of their teenage years were driving luxury cars and living in mansions. The fast life came to The Bahamas.
Flood waters had nowhere to go
I hear the comment of Minister Lewis who we must not forget is a qualified architect, but in 245 years of the history of hurricanes hitting The Bahamas only one in seven years is there a hit…35 in 245 years!
A Christian education
While technological innovation has its place in the overall transformation, growth and development of education in The Bahamas, the teaching of Christian values in our schools ought to continue to play a pivotal role in nation building. If we want productive, responsible and spiritual citizens, then spiritual values taught from a Christian perspective is crucial.
Reservists like my father deserve better treatment
My father is a Reservist with many years of service. He had performed duties in the Royal Bahamas Police Reserve, he is one of those officers that can be called upon at any time. Without hesitating or complaining and stop whatever it is he is doing to go to that appointed station or function.
A history of corruption
Let’s look back to the earliest times of when The Bahamas was discovered by Columbus…on behalf of the Spanish many of the original tribes of the Bahamas were taken as slaves to Mexico and other parts.
This silence is deafening
Years have passed since the late Dr. B. J. Nottage, former Minister of National Security, committed himself to legislation his government would introduce, that he called “Marco’s Law”.
Police need our support
Can you imagine going to work each day and not being sure you’ll survive your shift and see your family again?
