The pride of Eight Mile Rock
THE Bahamas is a distinctly unique country and the settlements that make up the islands and cays are unique in themselves. This makes the Bahamas such an attractive country. The variety you experience from settlement to settlement makes it a never-ending, invigorating experience for all who dare to explore our diverse archipelago.
Need for accuracy
When Hubert Ingraham opened the airwaves, I presumed that one of the key aspects of opening was to spread accurate information - facts that can be substantiated in a manner not previously available, as solely Government controlled all public broadcasting.
Citizens should be outraged
A RECENT headline in The Nassau Guardian stated that “All MPs should be outraged”.
Snip the fathers
Re: Lightbourn proposes sterilising mothers (The Tribune, July 29)
Questions remain over NHI
I have had many conversations lately concerning the PLP’s new national health insurance legislation. KPMG came out and said they were in favour of the legislation, and I believe they are. After all they were hired to create a framework in which national health insurance and universal healthcare function. The wrong question was asked of KPMG, it should not have been, do they support the legislation, but rather questions like:
Sears is to be congratulated
As a former colleague of Alfred Sears on the College of The Bahamas Council, let me begin by congratulating him for his modern day attempt to challenge the way leadership politics has been and is being conducted in the Progressive Liberal Party.
Who has a right to citizenship?
I always thought if my mother could show that she was born to a Bahamian, and I am her child, then there is zero dispute to my claim to Bahamian citizenship.
Support for Richard Lightbourn
REF: Recent Statement by MP Richard Lightbourn regarding single mothers giving birth to more than two children.
Thank you for tribute to Cindy
I wish to thank the Ministry of Tourism for recognising the contributions of the late Cindy Williams, during her employment at ZNS. This is especially fitting as ZNS is celebrating its 70th anniversary.
Cash and his ridiculous claim
Darron Cash’s suggestion that Dr Minnis ran a campaign based on race is ridiculous and the media, which has been very biased, should make Mr Cash substantiate any such claim.
Sears brings a glimmer of light
FOLLOWING the shambolic Free National Movement Convention one thing was pellucidly clear: neither the present leader or the aspirant has the wherewithal to lead this country.
Lightbourn’s political Kryptonite
Richard Lightbourn stumbled into a room full of FNMs and bumbled around like an old gelding that couldn’t tell the difference between an abattoir and a stable. Either way, he is political dead meat and he will surely be put out to pasture soon. Only the good people of Montagu can save him now.
The single parent society
While Richard Lightbourne’s recent comments regarding mandatory sterilisation of unwed mothers were neither tasteful nor tactful, there is no denying the message he was attempting to articulate however repugnant it might seem for many of us.
A chance to clarify privilege
The recent landmark ruling by Supreme Court Justice Indra Charles against Minister of Education Jerome Fitzgerald for leaking private emails in the House of Assembly sounds so familiar.
Responsible parenting
NOW THAT we have accepted that women are free to have as many children as they wish or they can bear, and we have excoriated the hapless Richard Lightbourn for his unwise, unfortunate and offensive remarks at the FNM Convention last week, perhaps we can use some of that passion positively to effect change to a problem which we have been ignoring for decades - responsible parenting.
