Flawed political process
THE Political process in The Bahamas at the party level is a farce. It’s a travesty!
Late fee added on top of firearms costs
Every January, I and many other Bahamian gun owners turn in our firearm licenses for annual renewal.
Government lap dogs over NHI scheme
NHI will result in 500 million dollars in additional revenue and lead to better workforce productivity. This is something we would expect to hear from KPMG’s self serving Mark Britnell of course but Simon Townend – Seriously!

Fred Smith responds to Fred Mitchell

Rebel confusion
AS a Bahamian who is concerned about the leadership of my country, I am constrained to ask who is in charge of the “Rebel seven” and the DNA “Coalition”, if there is one?
Bahamas issues
SO a black man, Archdeacon Palacious says precisely what a white man, Richard Lightbourne basically said and there is cheering? You mean we have gotten that stupid?
PLP must stick with Christie
My sentiments are more about common sense than personalities.
Time to get Greenslade out
Tribune Headline 19 Jan 2017. The question that begs asking with The Tribune Headline today is: “Is this the same Commissioner Greenslade” that last week boasted that “Serious Crime Is Down” ? or “Crime is down except murders”?
