Spare the rod
“Together we create gardens of possibility in the parched earth. If we grow the babies up right, they just might redeem us all.” Imani Perry, professor of African American Studies, Princeton University.
Missing cash
What will cause the Attorney General or the Prime Minister to simply say look this is enough we have to have urgent and in depth audits of all revenue generating departments and anyone found questionable must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Enough of Ingraham
LATE last month, the former Prime Minster, Hubert A Ingraham, was interviewed by one of the local television stations wherein he was asked if he was returning to frontline politics. His response to that question went something like this: “I will respond when I have an announcement to make.”
The PLP want Minnis to win race
Hubert Minnis should be ashamed of the dirty tricks he is employing in his bid to retain the leadership of the FNM.
PM: Face up to fundamentalists
I read with disbelief The Nassau Guardian’s article of 29 June 2016; “Group seeks to pressure PM to resign”.
A victim of crime tells her tale
I don’t know about other Bahamians and residents of New Providence but I take cold comfort in the assurances of the Minister of National Security that crime is down.
Examining the news of the day
MOODY’S THREAT... I am sure you would have had a big headline IF the FNM had voted against the 2016-2017 Budget... hot air Mr Peter Turnquest, hot air.
Moody with Moody's
Just who do these foreigners (Moody’s) think they are by threatening to downgrade our great little country’s credit rating again - and all over a paltry thing like worsening government debt accumulation?
Chesapeake legal issue
I read with great interest the response of the Grand Bahama Port Authority (GBPA), to my appearance on the Love 97 programme Issues of The Day, hosted by Mr Wendall K Jones, on the 29th AD 2016.
Move COB
There has been much movement and discussion in relation to transitioning the College of the Bahamas (COB) to the University of the Bahamas (UOB).
Invaded by the Chinese
The Bahamas is the laughing stock of the world. We have disgraced ourselves by confirming that we are prostitutes. We have a knack for genuflecting to foreigners, giving our land for a sack of flour. We are so foolish and without shame for giving away all of our choice beachfront property, thus preventing our ordinary Bahamians from accessing the beaches.
FNM leadership?
The reported comments of Brent Symonette that the Butler-Sands duo are gaining party support and that a Poll indicates that is totally laughable. Mr Symonette surely knows only delegates, MP’s, Freedom Fighters vote. What Joe Public might say is of no influence to the Convention vote.
Happy Independence?
Please allow me to express my concerns for this country that I love so dearly called The Bahamas.
PLP's weak claims on jobs front
WITH the election now on the horizon PM Perry Christie and the PLP propaganda machinery will kick into high gear in order to convince the masses that the PLP government has lived up to its many pledges penned in its Charter for Governance. One of the pledges Christie and Co, made on the campaign trail would be the creation of thousands of jobs. Christie those stated that if his administration was able to create 22,000 years between 2002-2007 when the economy was moribund, he would be able again to create thousands of jobs in a bad economy.
Baha Mar blame
Just how can Rt Hon Perry Christie not take the fullest blame for the debacle of Baha Mar? 2005 sale of Ruffin’s Cable Beach assets none other than Christie pushed-consorted with Sarkis Izmirlian to develop then a $1.25 billion development. Minister Wilchcombe took the project to Parliament. Izmirlian borrowed $220m to purchase...could not prove to Harrah’s he had the development money. Who else is responsible, Mr PM?
