The bottom of the pit
Another astonishing story in The Tribune on Thursday which lowers the level of political interference to the bottom of the pit and shatters the remaining respect one has for anything political in The Bahamas. Perhaps there is an explanation but I doubt it.
Truly believe in Bahamians
You know, I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of hearing people blame others for the state of this country, whether it is crime, the economy, or whatever.
A nation in distress
It’s interesting to note that it’s only after the murder rate had surpassed the record set in 2011 that at 133 the Prime Minister, as per The Tribune, 16 November 15, is “Distressed”.
Killing field
THE Prime Minister is right - “The Bahamas should not be a Killing Field”.
Called to lead
We have so-called “collective” cabinet responsibility in our wonderful nation but that is, I submit, not in fact the case.
Victimisation
These women crying out for help, saying “something must be done to help us”.
Short term gain for Minnis
In moving with haste and secrecy to bring into the FNM fold two rather sullied rejects of the PLP, Dr Minnis has yet again placed his own short term political interests above those of both party and country.
Disappointed in Maurice Moore
Maurice Moore’s comments at an FNM meeting in Grand Bahama last weekend were sad, disappointing and deeply disturbing.
Caribbean reparations
With the Caribbean reparations movement gathering steam, it has become necessary to articulate, in public, the arguments and issues around reparations. As Biomedical Advisor to the Bahamian Reparations Committee, I would like to outline some of the medical and biomedical arguments for reparation to the descendents of enslaved Africans in the Bahamas.
Pro-growth public policies
There seems to be no end of bad news for The Bahamas economy recently, highlighted by Standard & Poor’s slashing GDP growth estimates for 2016.
BCC too late
Hurricane Joaquin hit our islands five weeks ago with horrific and devastating effects, our God decided that there would be no deaths, but ... the Bahamas Christian Council has not as yet organised a National Celebration of Thanksgiving. They must be waiting for the anniversary in 2016.
Empty promises to Cat Island
After a recent trip to Cat Island, following Hurricane Joaquin, a feeling of concern has weighed heavily on my mind.
Prices are out of control
The price of bread has jumped recently, but for the fuel they use to bake the bread at Purity Bakery and LPG Gas, the purchase price has decreased. Does this make sense?
Excessive charges
In reviewing my credit card statement, FCIB charged its annual fee of $60 and on top of that, there is VAT of $4.50.
Shoddy service at RBC
I am writing concerning the deplorable state of our banks and what they call service these days.
