Rule it out of court
Opening of the courts - is it necessary to have the full ceremony in Nassau to be repeated in Freeport? Once the courts are opened in Nassau the Ccourts in Freeport are. Likewise? What is the cost for travel, etc, of all of demand officials?
For the love of Joe
No one was robbed in East Street, not a single gunshot was fired in Pinewood, no one died in Fox Hill and in Bain and Grants town all the children did was play. Parents are thanking God for the way their sons are turning their lives around. Police are being seen as allies and are welcomed into the neighbourhoods. 2019 is shaping into the year we are praying it would be.
It's far too easy for those sloops
Haitian migrant sloops yet again on the headlines but what we should be looking at and investigating is the coincidence of the timing of one-two-three-four Haitian migrant sloops being able to enter the territorial waters of The Bahamas and sail virtually 50% of the length and not a soul Royal Bahamas Defence Force or Police or Immigration saw them?
My concerns for the year just starting
Concerns as we start a New Year?
New controller, really big stick
I hear there’s a new sheriff in town and rumour has it, he’s got a really big stick.
We must keep our flexibility
I have long argued that those advocating fixed election dates and term limits on the office of Prime Minister really do not have a clue of the very basics of what Westminster democracy is and how it operates. Rather, they are simply taking cues from superficially corresponding elements of a fundamentally very different US system.
Don't underestimate those US presidents
Richard Coulson in his Business Bites opinion piece said that only two US presidents were chronic womanisers: Bill Clinton and Jack Kennedy.
Unions should have some perspective over Minnis bailout
The Free National Movement (FNM) administration of Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis has taken plenty criticism for going out on a limb and purchasing the Grand Lucayan Resort for an estimated $65 million from Cheung Long (Ck) Property Holdings, a subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa.
Our next Chief Justice decision is a slam dunk
There has to be further concern that we are still without a confirmed Chief Justice - we hear from learned Attorneys and last week the plea from the currently Acting Chief Justice that this is untenable, but why does the Prime Minister continue to refuse to approve?
Isn't it best to rely on public to call police?
THIS ShotSpotter Alert system the Minister of National Security talks about - searched high and low, I don’t see a RFP for that - was there one as is required?
The year when we build each other up
LAST week all of the newspapers front pages were ablaze with both the commissioner of the police force Mr Anthony Ferguson and the minister of defence Mr Marvin Dames touting the success in the reduction of crime in 2018, especially the decrease in the murder rate. I might have missed it and stand to be corrected but not once did I hear them give thanks to God for the hand he had in the country’s fight against satan’s onslaught on our youth.
Why we should listen to the conch
One last question...
We are in a right mess over honours
JUST why do our politicians refuse to comply with what is so obvious - time and time again contradiction in action and process.
Rushing gets you nowhere except annoy the public
SIRENS - flashing lights are supposed to be an exclusive area for fire, ambulance and police patrol vehicles and police outriders in an emergency or escorting a VIP if anyone does not know even those.
Policing by PR is failing
If the stats from the police are correct we have to admit solely because of statistical elimination (in probability there are only so many people who will commit a murder and so many that will be victims) we see a limited reduction without considering the cases at the coroner which have not as yet been classified.
