An ineffective solution: The death penalty
I would like to commend Archbishop Pinder, and the Catholic bishops of the Caribbean for taking the moral stand in calling for the abolition of the death penalty.
Where are you, Krissy Love?
THE unceremonious exit of popular talk show host Krissy Love has left a void in talk radio. Reality Check, the two hour talk show which covered a wide range of topics was something that I looked forward to listening to several times a week.
A coalition vision?
THE Insight article today is inspiring and quite sad, as it forecasts the probable, and likely, political future of The Bahamas.
Have no fear?
Re: ‘No need to be afraid of crime’.
Govt buying drugs is a step back
I have read a number of articles recently in the newspaper regarding concerns of local pharmaceutical wholesalers that the government (Public Hospital Authority) may be planning to bypass them and go directly to manufacturers to purchase drugs.
Concern at fishing plan
WHEN I wrote my last letter (November 1, 2016), expressing my concern for the increased Chinese influence, I was not aware of the information that has surfaced regarding the proposed 10,000 acres of farm land in North Andros.
PLP whistling past the graveyard
Confirming a lack of understanding of the depths of the economic problems facing the country, Prime Minister Christie announced a “Competitiveness Council” to work out of his office to improve The Bahamas’ declining status in the ease of doing business ranking while saying the country’s slippage in the rankings “doesn’t represent who The Bahamas is”.
We must register and vote
As a young political observer, I have been quite pleased with the Free National Movement’s selection of candidates thus far. Most of these men and women embody exactly what it is that so many Bahamians have been in search of for quite some time; and that is fresh faces, and ‘new blood’.
Quite a week in the news
WELL this past week was quite a week - Chinese promised ‘ooo’s of acres, Minister denials - the ‘gown-day’ at UB/University of Bahamas - Minister Wilchcombe confirms no letter of intent from the group said to be purchasing Baha Mar... wow!
Bank issue concern
The headline in Tribune Business today “Farcical: Govt picks up entire $40M BOB Issue” begs a number of serious questions in my view.
Increase in MPs
I NOTE that the Boundary Commission are about to recommend that five additional seats are added to the House of Assembly. We are advised by Government that the country is broke and the borrowings are at horrendous levels and we are bing told that we need a further four/five members in the House of Assembly.
Christian response to Gray?
AM I the only one who is waiting for a response from the Christian community or its leaders on the remarks made by the Honourable Alfred Virginias Gray when he expressed our “need” of the Chinese investors in language that surprised many of us.
Nasty, nasty, nasty!
There is a Public Parks and Beaches Authority, a Department of Environmental Health and a bloated civil service. I understand workers at the garbage depot are sitting idle because garbage collection has been contracted out to private companies.
Small business in tough times
I write you to provide your readers with a clearer understanding of the problems of running a small business in these Bahama Islands.
Learn from the storm
About three days after the storm, a BEC/BPL assessment person came to my area to look at downed wires.
