Downtown redevelopment: Why is it taking so long?
Downtown Nassau continues to be a terrible eyesore and a stain upon our national reputation.
We’re stuck talking loud but saying nothing
As 2018 draws to a close there are several questions which we, as a people and a nation, must ask ourselves. Unemployment and under employment continue to be problematical for the FNM.
The only thing we have to fear
Re: PM: Public’s not afraid any more, The Tribune, December 7.
When freedom of speech will be put to the test
Popular Jamaican dancehall and reggae artist Buju Banton has finally been released from a U.S. federal prison after serving seven years for conspiracy to possess cocaine with the intent to distribute. Banton was incarcerated at the McRae Correctional Facility in the state of Georgia.
Live life for the children is a good motto for us all
The recent proliferation of crime committed by adolescents is taking a toll on society. Both young women and young men that look to crime as a way of life are being charged with serious offences.
Stand up for our rights as a sovereign country
If you want to launder or hide money today where do you go - US, UK and Europe - forget the Bahamas - it is too small!
Glad to see this BISX flexibility
Three months ago, I suggested that BISX remove the pricing restrictions that reduce trading in our local market. Those restrictions remain in place, but BISX did accede to investor requests to widen the trading band on Arawak Port Development, Bahamas Property Fund, and Benchmark Bahamas. This caused a resumption of trading and significant price changes in all three stocks.
FNM would lose an election if held today
MAY 10th, 2017 for the FNM party it was a red letter day they had been voted in with a very large majority 35 against four but the electorate knew this was not the real world it was the proverbial Bahamian decision when they are fed up with Party ‘A’ just vote dem out. Did they want the FNM?
With a bodyguard, I would feel safe too
I don’t care what the Prime Minister or the Minister of National Security says we the People do not feel safe in our neighborhoods. He and his minister have bodyguards!
We must oppose this violation of religious freedom
The Non-Profit Organisations Bill, 2018 (the NPO Bill) recently passed in the House of Assembly.
Should we look closer to home for business?
The compendium…heard that before under the FNM - remember those faxes when Hubert Ingraham was PM?
A story that is worth a thousand smiles
There is a saying that it is better to give than receive. I would like to share a story about two people who gave to a young girl and received a lifetime of smiles and thanks.
Unfair way to treat our PM
A video clip showing an interview of Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis by various reporters which aired on Clint Watson's Beyond the Headlines had made the rounds on Facebook, WhatsApp and other social media platforms throughout the country. A friend of my wife's forwarded the WhatsApp video of the interview at its tail end with Minnis jokingly talking about being more concerned about the Shell Saxons Superstars winning at Christmas. He was responding to a question about the possibility of a general strike by the unions he had met with on December 3.
Tackling crime in isolation is not going to solve problem
Much has been said about fighting crime in The Bahamas but whatever strategy the government employs the situation will reach Nash equilibrium – a stable state of a system involving the interaction of different participants, in which no participant can gain by a unilateral change of strategy if the strategies of the others remain unchanged.
Why VAT exemption is not such a big deal
IT was very evident few MPs have seen a current BP&L bill. All they talked was exempting bills up to 300.00 from VAT on bills under $300. What if BP&L would advise us how many MPs are current with their BP&L Bills - where arrears what is that amount?
