My opinion
Beginning with my column, Perspectives, which was published every Monday for 8 years, I have offered my opinions publicly via The Tribune since 1999. While it is an incontrovertible fact that I am the son of Sir William Allen, a former FNM Cabinet Minister, I deem that fact immaterial to either my opinions or my decision to publicise them.
Voter fraud arrest concerns
WHEN one picked up The Tribune and The Nassau Guardian on March 30, you were greeted with front-page headlines, “Father of Four Denies Voter Fraud” and “Harbour Island Man Gets Bail in Voter Fraud Case”.
Edison Key is no true member
A METRONOME is a mechanical device that marks time by swinging back and forth.
Time for a fixed date for election
AS a Bahamian, two issues that I would like to see come to fruition under the next government is a fixed election date and a term limit for Prime Ministers.
Master orator
Re: PM: It is easy to ‘piss away’ public funds (The Tribune, April 4).
PM falling apart at the seams
ARE reports true that Prime Minister Perry Christie told an audience that it is easy to “piss away” money?
What we care about
I AM writing this because I hope that others will add their input to the topic - “What we care about”.
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
Re: ‘Criminals Will Ravage Country Unless Death Penalty Enforced’ (February 28)
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.
