Health statistics

THERE should be no one who would wish and not support a viable/proper NHI programme but those criteria must be evident and experienced.

A frustrated driver

I am writing to the person/persons who are responsible for the road works in Nassau. I am a resident of the Western District and one who has to travel on Nassau Street, at least twice per day east to west; west to east, and just the thought of having to do this sickens me.

NHI turmoil

NHI - the PM will save us all a lot of stress let alone money which he loves to spend on consultants if he simply convenes a meeting with the two Doctors groups - the Insurance providers and then seemingly find a solution to an impasse created by his government.

Stand united or fall divided

We, as a country, have become divided between those who have and those who have not. We have become divided by crime, by loss. Divided by terror and those who terrorise and now we have become divided by ideals.

Hornet’s nest

Lanisha Rolle’s comments seemed to have disturbed a hornet’s nest! 

Mass exodus from the FNM

The past undemocratic behaviour by Hubert Minnis is simply counterproductive. The many mysterious manoeuvrings with the constituency associations especially before the last convention will eventually be his Achilies heel.

A response to 66 Steps letter

Motivational speaker Dale Carnegie said, “any fool can condemn, criticise and complain, and most do”. This is the only conclusion I can draw from a letter published in The Tribune January 18, by one Derek Forbes commenting on the recent marriage of my son Gavin, to Nikia Deveaux, a beautiful, intelligent, young woman with Long Island roots.

Butler-Turner and Minnis cannot co-exist

FNM Leader Dr Hubert  Minnis and Long Island MP Loretta Butler-Turner can no longer logically coexist within the FNM party. If the January 25 edition of The Punch’s lead story concerning Butler-Turner allegedly hurling obscenities at FNM Deputy Leader Peter Turnquest in the House of Assembly is true, then it is time that the opposition’s hierarchy come to the sobering realisation that the relationship between Minnis and the Long Island MP has been ruptured beyond repair.

Roberts and the Bible

In The Nassau Guardian, published January 21, PLP Chair Bradley Roberts, in taking potshots at PLP defectors Renward Wells and Dr Andre Rollins, referenced the New Testament account of Jesus, His disciples and His betrayal for silver.

Senator Rolle must resign

The disgusting behaviour of Senator Lanisha Rolle towards Long Island MP Loretta Butler-Turner was despicable and downright nasty to say the least.

Lanisha Rolle an embarrassment

Senator Lanisha Rolle has been a terrible embarrassment to the FNM. Out of the blue she was leapfrogged over seasoned and veteran FNMs to become a senator.

Gibson’s blame

So Shane Gibson thinks the doctors are “greedy” for not signing on to his “pig in a poke” NHI programme.

Ranfurly Brown

I am compelled as a Born Again Child of God to address, by publicly expressing my views on the ungodly precedence set by stripping Archdeacon Ranfurly Brown.

A former Minnis supporter

I am a sitting member of the FNM’s executive committee. I am an FNM of long standing and I do not owe my position to Hubert Minnis.

Say sorry to Gomez

Howard Johnson’s candid explanation on how he was able to leapfrog Monique Gomez for the South Beach nomination for the FNM has finally put to rest the misguided notion that Dr Hubert Minnis has set up a political pogrom with the aim of purging the party of Ingrahamites. However, it did very little in healing the ever widening rift within the FNM between the Minnis and Loretta Butler-Turner factions.
