Izmirlian and two governments
On the face of what we hear, neither the PLP nor the FNM are willing to take responsibility on parts of the process for the approval and execution of Baha Mar, although they were at their time the sole exclusive authority.
The people of Crooked Island
Survivors of the recent Category 5 Hurricane Joaquin, which devastated Landrail Point on Crooked Island, wishes to express heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the following individuals and organisations, for the quick response in sending relief supplies from the USA.
Open letter to Fred Ramsey
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy will come in the morning.
Time for serious rehabilitation
During the decades of the fifties through eighties many Police Officers were sent to the UK for training. It was during my training at the West Riding Detective Training College I was taken to a Borstal Institute in a city in England. It is a prison for young offenders, who are taught trades while incarcerated and assisted to get jobs when released as certified tradesmen.
Rising debt is a danger to the nation
Something does not add up. Forgive me if I am wrong but VAT was introduced due to pressure from the IMF and general gloom from credit agencies who were continuously downgrading our economic status, their fears are – we are drowning in debt ie the National Debt is huge.
Pointe’s effect on cruise ships
Everyone is talking and complaining about the Chinese Pointe. But no one seems to care that the marina planned for the Pointe might interfere with the traffic lanes of the cruise ships and by default, our cruise ship trade.
The National Development joke
Successive governments from time immemorial have difficulty in completing what they promise and approved in any single year Budget so you really think it is feasible to try to write a 30-year to include every island’s national development plan?
Speaker Major, how dare you?
I ask this question up front, Dr Kendal Major, how dare you deny the people of Long Island from expressing themselves? How dare you take it upon yourself to, without any reason, deny the Member of Parliament for Long Island, Loretta Butler-Turner the privilege that is accorded to all members of parliament? What could be your explanation? Is it that you hate Long Island?
Bell’s blame game
Keith Bell, the state minister of national security, has stirred from his political slumber to blame the country’s current crime catastrophe on the previous government.
Sartorial standards
Have standards gone out of the door, with some of our so-called leaders, or simply they don’t know any better? Who is to passed the mantle down to our young people?
Loretta has instincts to be PM
You can tell about someone’s leadership potential by how they respond in a crisis. This is when instincts and judgment are tested. In the aftermath of Hurricane Joaquin, Long Island MP Loretta Butler-Turner demonstrated that she has the good instincts and good judgment to be prime minister.
The Pointe permits
Bahamian architectural and engineering professions are quietly in an uproar because, notwithstanding all the construction, dredging, land reclamation, etc, ongoing around the British Colonial under the control of the Chinese government, not one single building permit has been issued by the Bahamas government’s Ministry of Works in respect of these projects.
A list of teachable moments
The Prime Minister in Exuma, said to be speaking at the Economic Forum-Exuma, incredibly tried to defend himself and the use of what is now the infamous phrase – a teachable moment. Economic Forums everywhere, but no reality - nothing achieved except a lot of talk - teachable, of course just the usual bull.
Left in others’ wake
“Government is moving forward with its plan to create an office of the Ombudsman amalgamating the offices of the information Commissioner and Complaints Commissioner.”
URCA chose to give to NEMA
