Enough is enough

The Bible said your foes are of your own household; and a chorus said your enemy cannot harm you but keep an eye on those who are supposed to be your friends.

At its annual Town Meeting to present its 2014 Annual Report and 2015 Annual Plan to the public on May 21st, the vacancy for the third non-executive Board member was evident although unmentioned.

An advocate for equality

Last week marked the passing of Senator Mizpah Tertullien, a great Bahamian woman – a visionary and trailblazer.

Definition of a Bahamian

In 2002, the PLP government signed the Economic Partnership Agreement by which more than half a billion Europeans would get rights of entry into The Bahamas. The Bahamas government was given 17 years to bring in legislation to give effect to this treaty and make it enforceable at the local level. In 2008, the FNM government ratified the treaty making it a virtual certainty that it would eventually become part of Bahamian law.

“You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.”

Culture of secrecy

House Speaker Dr Kendal Major’s blocking of the PAC probe of Urban Renewal is in keeping with the PLP’s culture of secrecy in all matters pertaining to their spending of public funds.

Mystery of the BTC Foundation

In a recent letter to another newspaper, Bradley Roberts, Chairman of the PLP, in listing the accomplishments of his party, extolled its success in getting BTC back in Bahamian hands. In a transaction announced with great fanfare early in 2014, we were told that Government never intended to take operational management control of BTC but that the nation acquired a majority economic interest in the company, at no cost.
