Govt needs to redo road works
LYFORD Cay Road approaching shopping centre … yes, you raised the road to avoid flooding work including asphalting very, very sub-standard … again please Public Works make the contractor remake.
Speech a re-run of Pindling era
Speech from The Throne a day after. Slept on the images and speech … 2000 people assembled and you could hear a needle drop throughout the speech, the lack of applause was stunning, the politicos and PR folks must have shuddered in their shoes.
‘Things are good’ is fake news
This is a letter to the editor of both The Guardian and The Tribune, our major Bahamian newspapers. Recently, we have heard the widespread accusations of Fake News against the major global news organisations, such as Fox News. Fox just lost a major court case, ordered to pay over $787,000,000 in damages for their sins.
Withdraw planning application
I read with interest the comments of Oniel Khosa, owner of the Stone’s Throw Away hotel, regarding his proposed development of a grocery store and café (and “F&B, etc” whatever that means) in a low-density, quaint, residential area.
Insanely light gun sentence
In July, a couple in the Cayman Islands were sentenced to 11.5 and 10 years respectively for being found with a single firearm in their apartment.
In solidarity
We write to state our solidarity with our small community (Gambier Heights and Tropical Gardens) in its contest of the proposed expansion of A Stone’s Throw Away development which will incur a rezoning of our quiet residential space to commercial.
Valid complaints
I am a resident of the Gambier Heights Subdivision.
Tribute to a modern day statesman
“A friend who is near and dear is far more important than any wealth or material possession.”
Expect poor service post COVID-19?
From Financial Services through banking to consumer services, The Bahamas needs to be better than the average if not excelling, but are we? Post COVID there is a serious breach of good services.
Referenda a way to test the waters
The Letter to the Editor – Voter against Govt., not citizenship and signed D Rolle - is a great comment as politicians and their advisers incorrectly have decided to risk, at your political life, taking a further referendum. Nothing to fear if the government of the day has been governing well - no scandals, or has the critical thing that has decided recent elections at a low, so-called arrogance level?
A tribute to Clara & Obie
I’d like to respect the memory of two people who have gone on to glory, both of whom exemplify principles on which we, as a people stand, and must not lose.
PLP is not doing enough for the people
The governing Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) has another chance to act in the best interest of the Bahamian people when Parliament returns on October 4. They have not done enough to improve Bahamian lives since being elected to office two years ago.
Arawak Cay & Ingraham
Kindly allow me space in your column to express an opinion in reference to Arawak Cay. I believe whenever the Rt Hon Hubert A Ingraham, former Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, passes Arawak Cay, he let’s loose some 500 pound words.
Writ rules not being followed
As the “rookie” member of the Opposition in the House of Assembly, I was still appointed Leader of Opposition Business under the first session of Parliament after the 2021 general elections.
Who gets money from reparations?
Our Prime Minister has been lauded, both at home and abroad, for his outspokenness on small island states and the need for reparations from the Industrialised countries of the World.
