FNM must grasp opportunity

The recent resignation of Michael Pintard has given the FNM an awesome opportunity to begin to “clean up its act”. The rapid deterioration of the image of the FNM needs to be addressed forthwith.

Freeport issues

The Our Lucaya Resort - Freeport. What will the property fetch?

Disgraceful MPs

Last evening while watching the “debate” on Parliamentary TV, I was again struck by the demeanor of our politicians especially those on the government side.

Unmitigated disaster

So Frank Watson is “exasperated” with FNM Leader Hubert Minnis and doesn’t know if the FNM can “take any more” of him.

Cabbage Beach access

As this newspaper has reported, there has been a controversy brewing at Cabbage Beach.

This thing called Bahamian

TV News Friday showed persons at Social Services packaging food packages... the bananas in the package were foreign...the brand name was very visible. Minister Gray what happened to the BAMSI bananas - surely priority should be that Social Services have a good supply? Let’s save costs for starters.

Mother’s anger at Mitchell

WE ARE appalled at the unmitigated gall of Fred Mitchell in attacking Tribune columnist Adrian Gibson in the House of Assembly today about two columns he wrote seeking an inquiry into the death of my son, Christopher Prescott Adderley, while on remand in Haiti.

Pointe needs explanation

It shocks and amazes me that with the economic severity in our economy, not only for the construction worker, but seriously for the Construction Company’s who post the Baha Mar debacle (remember collectively Bahamian Construction companies are owed over S100m) that few are saying or complaining.

My comments - on the passing of the Gender Equality bills in both the lower house and senate of parliament, all should say well done; and vote for all the amendments, as, I did in 2002, and will do again in this upcoming referendum.

At this moment, however, I do find it necessary to draft this declaration. It was actually motivated by a post by one of my long time associates, Mr Peter Carey, who wrote:

60,000 reasons for McPhee

As Parliamentarians from the FNM and PLP continue to vouchsafe alleged secret plots against high ranking government officials and Save The Bay officials, Mount Calvary Baptist Church Pastor Dr Philip McPhee spoke graciously of Canadian billionaire Peter Nygard, the embattled Lyford Cay resident.

Police trust

We will enjoy continued reductions in crime by identifying and addressing criminal  behaviour.

Scum of the Earth

I wish to begin this letter by first offering my condolences to the family, friends, schoolmates, and teachers of the Government High School student, who was tragically and needlessly killed in a senseless rock-throwing incident.

Pintard working to tackle crime

There is always a battle between a man’s pride and his position in life. Some of the most successful people are so because they have found a balance between their position in life and their pride.

The rights of women

Approximately fourteen years ago, I enjoyed the single most important moment of my Parliamentary career; I was privileged to speak and vote on a series of Constitutional Amendments.
