Alternatives to Customs duty
IF Customs duty revenue goes, some ideas where we can make up.
Bridge striping
PARADISE Bridge the Sir Sidney Poitier side…stripping.
Student protest
AS a former student protester (ban the Bomb, anti -Apartheid, etc) I have always been disappointed that tertiary students in The Bahamas did not protest.
Glad that Laville has gone
PLEASE allow me a space in your paper to express myself on the dismissal of the General Manager of Water & Sewerage.
A fistful of dollars
Arriving at the Bridge Toll Booth yesterday, with only a $50.00 note and a debit card, I asked the attendant if I could pay the toll with the latter debit card. No sir, we only take cash the attendant said with a smile. So I thereupon tendered my $50.00 note and she painstakingly counted out 48 $1.00 notes. Picture above.
Too many murders
MINISTER of National Security says and is quite naturally proud that murders are down a whopping 47%. Let’s understand this.
Support for Adrian Gibson
Now, I read with interest on what is and has taken place at Water and Sewerage Corporation. An entity owned by the Bahamian taxpayers. Any government has a right to have an audit done, whether or not the Executives of that government-owned entity is appraised of it or not.
Crimes and the solutions we need
CRIME — much of what we unfortunately experience is controlled by the Law of Averages.
Minnis in a muddle
ISN’T a Minister supposed to have a hands-on knowledge of what is going on with at least the important projects in ones Ministry?
Elections and talk of deficits
IT is rather funny but serious that today we hear regularly from the FNM that one of their highest priorities is to eliminate deficit budgets, but they do not explain what it will mean to us… wonder why?
Education minister talking down
The Catholic Church has been the bedrock of The Bahamas, since time immemorial. The mission work that was once carried out by nuns and the church made its mark as it related to caring for the poor, sick and shut ins. The charitable outreach work is legendary and should be commended. In short the Catholic Church has been and is synonymous with caring for the least among us.
Oban plan
I would like to know certain rather basic items from Oban Energies.
Questions from an FNM voter
I am writing because I have concerns with how things are going in this land as a Bahamian who voted FNM.
The Darkest Hour of EU relations
It seems apropos that the recently released movie “Darkest Hour” should come out simultaneously with the European Union’s latest bullying tactic, on weak jurisdictions, particularly in the Atlantic Caribbean arena.
'It's time for purging the house'
It’s amazing in 2012 when the past administration, the PLP, won the election we had no talk of victimisation. Now because the people’s Government has the gonads to clean up and ensure there is transparency with the operations in the people’s place, it’s victimisation. My brothers and sisters of The Bahamas, I am employed at the Water & Sewerage Corporation, The executives, most of them, along with GM Laville, was not and still does not want to cooperate with the chairman and the board of directors.
