Letters to the Editor

Candidate endorsements

NOW that we are just days away from the general elections which will usher in a new government, on behalf of the Gatekeepers I commence the serious task of endorsing candidates who are offering themselves as prospective parliamentarians.

Bahamian musical chairs

PLEASE allow me a space in your valued chronicle to dually vent and share as the General Elections loom.

Minnis lacks passion

PRE-ELECTION rhetoric is in high gear and is, as always, mildly entertaining but lacking in substance.

Copper theft

Re: The Tribune, March 31, “Copper thieves blamed for fire”.

White paint, please

WHY in God’s name would sensible people leave speed bumps the same colour as the road after installation?

Death penalty limitations

Headline concern

WHILE The Tribune’s article on March 31 is balanced and well written, especially as you asked both parties for comment, I have issue with the headline title “Four-hour botched surgery left me close to death”.

Smoking dangers

I WRITE this letter as a wake up call and a warning to all Bahamians, young and old, Black and White, rich and poor, FNM, PLP, or DNA.

Can these dry bones live again?

IT IS written in Ezekiel 37:1-3 ‘The hand of The Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of The Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones ... and caused me to pass by them round about; and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry, and He said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God thou knowest ...’

Hiding behind anonymity

THE present, highly-publicsed controversy about the proposed casino licence for Baha Mar, with full-page advertisements and letter to the Editor, is being played out on a slanted stage that should not be provided by an eminent publication like The Tribune.

China and building Baha Mar

I SEE the Prime Minister has suggested that Dr Minnis approach the Chinese contractor and say “Well done”. What he should say is “About bl***y time”.

Mackey ‘forgot’ Customs debt

IT IS absolutely incredulous that the ultra-hypocritical utterance, by Bradley Roberts at a PLP campaign rally in Hatchet Bay, could so swamp both The Tribune front page and Business lead page, over an FNM candidate owing some $9,500 to Bahamas Customs.
