Mr Chipman shows how it can be done

Great Britain has no written constitution. In other words, unlike the Bahamas, it has no system codified into one document.

Why the pension delay?

Minister Brensil Rolle, Minister responsible said to be of NIB and Ms Rolle at NIB.

We are all children of God

“Homosexuality is no disorder or illness, and can therefore not be subject to treatment. A ‘treatment’ with the only aim of changing sexual orientation from homosexual to heterosexual must be regarded as ethical malpractice, and has no place in the health system”.

Fred hits the spot this time

Fred McAlpine is an imperfect messenger. He lacks compassion for juvenile hurricane victims in Dominica, and often goes off script on the legislative agenda of his party. Who knew he was capable of a rational argument on a hot button issue?

Time we had a dollar day

Minister Renward Wells, Minister for Transport, please hold a ‘dollar day’ to collect funds to offset the cost of purchasing for Road Traffic the plastic cards needed to print off new Driver’s Licences.

Be strong, today and tomorrow

The aftermath, rescue, recovery and ongoing restoration from hurricane Dorian was hailed with #Abacostrong and #GBStrong sentiments of optimism and faith to rebuild.

No way out

The Prime Minister and the Attorney-General have made it clear that any “amnesty period” after Dorian has ended and that Government will now rigidly enforce laws requiring repatriation of undocumented immigrants, or else lock them up. That’s fine as a legal principle, but realistically how will it be executed?

Emission question

What is the level of emissions pollution of the cruise ships in Nassau Harbour — Half Moon Cay — Coco Cay upcoming MSC Cay/Ocean Cay and Disney?

Hypocrisy of awards system

Queen’s Honours and now National Honours — who should receive them?

Let's stand together

Thank you for this opportunity of commenting on the recovery efforts following Hurricane Dorian’s devastating impact. As a second home owner in Marsh Harbour, I have recently returned from 10 days of recovery work in Abaco and am pleased to report that solid progress is being made following this unprecedented catastrophe.

Protocol, please

Oil spill at Equinor-Riding Rock conservatively 120,000 gallons of crude oil from tanks that were not built to withstand more than 140mph winds and clearly a low biometric pressure popped their lids spilling-spraying ‘000’s of thick black crude. Wednesday next when the House meets after Cabinet Tuesday I expect PM to advise that Government has discontinued all discussions with OBAN. If PM doesn’t then the public has to ask.....who are the people behind OBAN?

Time to stop drilling for oil

I find it extremely disappointing and sad that our supposedly educated Prime Minister does not have the fortitude and strength to quash the idea of drilling for oil in The Bahamas, immediately.

Question of insurance

Are vehicles and equipment of the RBPF and RBDF insured?

When it comes to Haiti, follow the money

In the search for motive, reason or rationale to explain the travesties, mysteries or controversies of life it is usually wise to follow the money.

Touched by human kindness

As I watched people dropped money into the receptacle it made me proud to be a Bahamian. And it gives me great pleasure in sending a big shoutout to the management and staff of KFC for the initiative they have taken to help bring relief to the victims of Hurricane Dorian.
