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.
Canon Campbell Misfires
The Reverend Canon Sebastian Campbell is passionate about our home-grown national honours system and well he should be. He has worked assiduously to bring it in to being.
Post office boxes
East Hill General Post Office, which has not provided the renters of Post Office Boxes for three-four years any resemblance of some service, again the Post Master - Ministry of Transport defined everything and asks for full payment of rental for 2019-2020!
Baha Mar dock
BAHA MAR’S new marina… a dock is a dock an erection of wooden piles with a walking area on top usually straight out into the water - a marina might have a boulder breakwater, as the new Baha Mar does plus berths which their marina has.
Queen's Honours
It has been a tradition that “worthy” Bahamians are acknowledged for contributions they may have made to nation building by being placed on the Queen’s New Year’s list.
BAIC bailout - and more to come
The Tribune advised this morning that BAIC has received a $500,000 bailout from the taxpayers money to pay down the $3.123m debt of that corporation.
Why, why, why?
Why is the cable still off and when it is on why are there channels missing, you should get there channels that you paid for, if the package changed someone should let you know, channels have been taken away and added nobody let me know what was going on.
Dynamic duo of politicians
Two of the most intriguing personalities to dominate the Bahamian political landscape during the 1950s and 1960s, in my opinion, were Sir Randol F Fawkes and Sir Stafford Sands. The latter was the most polarising politician in Bahamian history. When his image was placed on the $10 banknote by the Free National Movement (FNM) administration of former Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham in March 2000, it stirred up a hornets' nest.
Ignore the shot spotters
Minister of National Security is making a lot of fuss about this Shot Spotter Alert system that will be rolled out very soon.
