Government overlooking core problem

IT is interesting that in its efforts to create the appearance of an illegal immigrant crackdown, the government conveniently overlooks the core problem.

What must be done after IMF report

Without reading the entire IMF (International Monetary Fund) report, it is enough to understand what they are advising from the précis report in the media.

Sea salt production in the Bahamas

ONE must comment on the content or lack of content on our Talk Shows - some really should not be aired and others simply need a radical improvement and a commitment to stop broadcasting inaccurate concepts and proposals.

Stopping crime is not just up to the government

BAHAMIANS complain that the government needs to fix the crime problem. I have a suggestion for our people: spend more time raising your children properly.

Davis’ comments at prayer breakfast

Re:Davis vows: I’ll cut off heads to save party.

Let's be both sensible and sensitive

Stranger things have happened, but yesterday in the House of Assembly a strange thing happened - it came the turn for the member for St Anne’s to speak ..... he prefixed his comment, all of maybe three-minutes by saying there will be an announcement concerning Immigration and sat back down giving way for PM Hubert Minnis to make his statement, far from the usual summing up that the closing MP, usually the PM will do then the bombshell.

BAHAMIANS born to illegal Haitian migrants

I AM somewhat dismayed to have read and heard statements attributed to assorted cabinet ministers and a few from religious and civil societies lambasting Bahamians who dared to question the appropriateness of the response and offer of entry into The Bahamas by ‘some’ Dominican students who would have been adversely impacted by a series of recent hurricanes.

Letter and bills I haven't received

Enclosed is an item of many of the letter and bills I haven’t received from the Post Office:

The PLP has no credibility to lecture us about crime

Twenty years from now, in 2037, Eugene Woodside Jr. could have become a member of parliament. Or been called to the Bar. Or started making doctor rounds at a modern Princess Margaret Hospital.

Douglas Manchester will offer our nation an opportunity

Soon, the United States Senate will likely confirm Douglas Manchester as the new United States Ambassador to the Bahamas. When this happens, Manchester will offer our nation an opportunity to move forward toward prosperity.

Let the powers that be start at home

Despite our sometimes selfish ways, the average Bahamian has a big heart and is always ready to be our ‘brother’s keepers” so to speak.

Govt to be commended for assisting Dominica

I am happy to see that the strong Bahamian tradition of assisting its Caricom sister states in time of trouble continues.

Chester Cooper Needs a Foot-in-Mouth Policy

Until recently the public could have been tempted to look upon Chester Cooper as a master of the insurance business and a student of politics. After his numerous bewildering utterances, we must rethink that position. He has come across as new to the insurance business, despite his years in it, and as an overly ambitious opportunist way out of his depth in politics.

Cost of doctor’s report

I am deeply concerned with the way that doctors are allowed to charge for a report after a patient has paid to see the doctor reference to a particular illness or injury.

A severe lack of critical thinking in education

I am in favour of The Bahamas helping out Dominica.
