FNM council
I would appreciate you allowing me the opportunity to respond to a letter written in your valuable newspaper on Thursday, January 14, 2014, under the caption “Call to arms for all true FNMs”, “I am also a former candidate in the Free National Movement (FNM), and currently sit in the General Council of the Free National Movement.
Cut out the press releases
I thought of a good New Year’s resolution for The Tribune.
What else is being hidden?
Why should it have taken a press interview of the Head of the US Embassy here to find out that the recent rape was not the first but there were at least four more, but no one hear about them?
Rufa case hurts our nation
I know nothing at all about Canadian Freeport resident Bruno Rufa personally as a human being, nothing of his interests, hobbies, personal characteristics or otherwise.
Bamboozled
Can someone explain to me the reason for the treatment of. Monique Gomez, the President of the women’s association of the FNM, who was denied the nomination for the South Beach Constituency, after working assiduously in the area non-stop from the last election to be treated with such disdain.
Time to unite with Minnis
The attack on Free National Movement Chairman Michael Pintard in your paper today by a former Candidate and Council Member of the party is unwarranted and most distressing.
Call to arms for all true FNMs
FREE National Movement chairman Michael Pintard has either been left out in the cold by the party’s leadership or he is being less than straightforward with the Bahamian people.
FNM candidates
CAN someone explain to me the reason for the disdainful treatment of Monique Gomez, the President of the women’s association of the Free National Movement, who was denied the nomination for the South Beach constituency after working assiduously in the area non-stop from the last election?
Lethal weapon?
Perhaps the owner of this 5/16 inch sheet metal sign, which blew out of its frame, at the Fort Montagu/Shirley Street junction last week would like to pick it up and dispose of it.
Bachelor MPs should not be PM
In early December renowned South Floridian radio personality Joyce Kaufman and a female guest on her 850 WFTL afternoon show discussed the unlikelihood of South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham – a 60-year-old bachelor becoming the next president of the United States.
Fighting crime
I refer to the headline in Tuesday’s January 5, 2016 publication of The Nassau Guardian, entitled; “Change Leaders – in Crime Fight” and the comments of Mr Quinn McCartney, former Deputy Commissioner of Police. It appears, that the former DCP is blaming the Commissioner of Police, his executive team and members of the Royal Bahamas Police Force for the increase in murders in our country.
Killing The Bahamas
LAST week, a man was sentenced by a magistrate to a mere ten months for possession of a nine millimetre pistol, an instrument whose only purpose is to kill or injure human beings. According to police, upon arrest the accused made a statement rationalising his possession of the weapon on the grounds of his need for protection, having stolen $2,000.00 worth of drugs from another drug dealer. So far from minimising his culpability, the explanation contained an admission of another serious criminal offence.
To families of murder victims
Less than a week ago, we were in celebratory mode. Then, in the blink of an eye, fireworks and parades turned to gunshots and bloodbaths. Just like that, the insidious problems of 2015 crept into 2016 and just like that the New Year started to feel a lot like the same old same.
Who will determine eligibility?
Beginning January 18, 2016 the government will initiate registration for their National Health Insurance (NHI) scheme through the National Insurance Board (NIB), who will determine eligibility for the programme.
Plot to stack the FNM council in Minnis’ favour revealed
There is a move afoot, which, if it comes to fruition, will make today – January 7, 2016 – a day that lives in infamy for all who care about the ethos and integrity of the Free National Movement.
