Praise for PMH staff
AS a country we have a tendency to publicise the negative and keep the positive things a secret.
Be known as a doer
PRIME Minister Dr Hubert Minnis is not a talker. Many of the problems he has gotten into in the past seven months as Prime Minister are because he is not gifted in that way.
No rent for post boxes
POST Boxes at General Post Office, East Hill Street - I totally agree with your letter writer - how can the Ministry - The People’s Government have the face to charge renters for Post Boxes when they have been unable to provide mail delivery for over two years?
Popeye Bowl funds
POPEYE Bowl - Can the Ministry of Youth give one reason why the Government should be wasting the sponsorship of this event?
How was sloop missed by RBDF?
Migrants able to miss all the RBDF patrol craft and almost sail into the RBDF Base Coral Harbour totally undetected.
Let's pave the roads in 2018
I LIVE on New Providence. It is unpleasant to drive on most of our roads.
Bad news for BISX shareholders
Yesterday did not bring good news to the long-suffering shareholders of BISX-listed Bahamas Property Fund (BPF). Set up over 15 years ago to imitate American REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) by acquiring commercial properties and pooling them to create equity shares that would trade as liquid securities, it was a good idea but proved tough to execute in our limited property market.
Where are the changes in healthcare, Dr Minnis?
I personally never have high hopes for political promises. Even when they are fulfilled they are usually not well thought out and often become weights around the collective necks of the electorate.
Where are the women?
WHEN I opened the paper this morning (12th) there was a picture of the Governor General welcoming the Cabinet to their Christmas lunch and guess what - except for the Governor General not a female in sight - what a disgrace!
Heritage overrun by goats
HERITAGE, def: “features belonging to the culture of a particular society, such as traditions, languages, or buildings, which come from the past and are still important.” (Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary)
Ain't no sunshine
Given the limbo within which drone regulation currently exists today, one is hard-pressed to effectively provide advice regarding the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) (better known as) drones throughout The Bahamas.
Problems at the post office
PRE-MAY 10th, 2017 the Post Office was not operating on all cylinders, it hasn’t been since, but incredibly overnight when revenue is an issue Government Mail can suddenly appear.....
Press secretary
THE creation of the Press Secretary attached to OPM seemingly and intentionally by design to hide the Prime Minister from the media has so far been a disaster and I doubt it will be anything better - conclusion abandon ship and close it down and allow BIS, who for years did the same job exceptionally well, of course with a Prime Minister understanding better the political importance of having a positive relationship with the media.
The process of creating our laws
The social media frenzy of opposition from certain quarters to the Commercial Enterprise Bill, 2017 is a direct result of Parliament not following the guidelines for developing laws.
Speak up for Rodney Moncur
I MIGHT not share Rodney Moncur’s views on most topics but I sometimes listen to his Radio/TV Talk Show. The reasons are varied. He is controversial, his subject matter is always interesting, he calls a spade a spade and he is funny and entertaining.
