A tribute to Gabriel Sastre
It would be greatly appreciated if you would agree to print a brief tribute to the late Gabriel Sastre who passed away and was interred just recently.
The costs of NHI
Retired Archbishop Drexel Gomez I suggest should speak to a few, note few, of his inner circle and associates and canvass them to see how many owe thousands in back real property taxes and utility bills before advocating further tax burdens.
The FNM in 2017
As the FNM prepares for the next general elections which is fast approaching and given the National Chairman’s comments this week in the newspapers about the candidate selection process, the question that immediately comes to mind is, what role will Tommy Turnquest, Brent Symonette, Dion Foulkes, Carl Bethel and Zhivago Laing play in 2017?
Ingraham will boost Christie
Life is about cause and effect. If you plant corn, it follows that you ought to pray for rain.
National Health Insurance
The newspapers have been filled with articles on the government’s plan to introduce National Health Insurance in a matter of months which will mean another tax on the citizens, which is cause for much concern. In a similar vein as the folly of BAMSI and of COB attempting to transition into a University – we are trying to run before we have even begun to creep!
Labour laws
Please allow me to voice my observations regarding the current labour laws of The Bahamas.
Don’t let politicians into the pulpit
The criticism by the Chairman of the PLP of The Christian Council raises an interesting perspective left in the war-chest of the BCC.
A clarification from the Finance Minister, please
Budget 2015-2016…Real Property Tax on owner occupier pensioner.
Review payments to senior citizens
This matter mainly concerns (a) Pensions of Senior Citizens, (b) Food assistance and (c) Housing situations of seniors in this country – dealing with their pensions.
Concern about morals
DR Ranford Patterson, president of the Bahamas Christian Council, rightly spoke out concerning the sexual degradation and public debauchery that were defining marks of the government’s recently held carnival.
Just not for Bahamians
There are those who question the government’s assertion that it has created “tens of thousands” of jobs since it has been in office.
Straight talk on NHI plan
Your editorial of the May 16, in which you advanced the idea that NHI cannot be afforded and will “seal the fate” of the PLP, was disappointing and, frankly disingenuous as well.
Roberts vs Christian Council
THE comment by PLP chair Roberts as to the relevance of the Christian Council is laughable as if the Christian Council was irrelevant then why do politicians, especially PLP’s hang around churches every weekend and die to get in the churches’ pulpits?
Two sides to Baha Mar story
Baha Mar… reading your back to back Editorials you paint a wicked story about China State Construction and not a whisper (this writer is sure you have a lot of inside information) as to the other side of the equation which is or has been clearly the key to the work-slow up and question as to when Baha Mar will officially open.
Onward together
“Good things happen to nations that go independent at an early age.” So declared Mr Lynden Pindling to cheering Bahamians in the year 1969.
