Letters to the Editor

The late Bertram Brown, FNM Meritorious Council Member (MCM) and a Freedom Fighter (FF), of Black Point, Exuma, was funeralised at Zion Baptist Church, Nassau, on Saturday and memorialised on Thursday at FNM Headquarters, Mackey Street.

Writing on the wall for the PLP

The handwriting is on the wall for the Progressive Liberal Party is as clear as the message that was written for King Belshazzar of Babylon and was interpreted by the Prophet Daniel.

The problems of The Bahamas

The Bahamas has always had it share of problems, but I remember a time when Bahamians were generally regarded to be a noble, principled and decent people. A people who carried themselves with a certain dignity with the result that our country was often viewed with envy by other island states in the Caribbean. We were a country to be emulated, and in our communities the elders often did not compromise principles purely for profit.

BEC documents

I am not casting aspersions but where does the US Company… PowerSource International come into the RFP for BEC?

Time to go?

The recently concluded general elections in the UK have resulted in a majority Conservative government and the return to 10 Downing Street of Prime Minister David Cameron. At one point the now vanquished leader of the Labour Party, Ed Miliband, was considered neck and neck with the Conservatives by most polls, if not a majority. The results, however, were decisive and spoke volumes about just how the average electorate sees political parties and judges their manifestoes or charters for governance.

Carnival group trashes park

This morning, I went with a group of cyclists past Clifton Heritage site near Jaws Beach around 7:30am. There was a group of Carnival partiers that had clearly been going all night.

Break out the box

THE ruling Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) is celebrating its third year in office following its re-election in 2012. This is a wonderful time to give thanks to God and to the people of this wonderful little nation for allowing us to govern, again, on behalf of the people of The Bahamas. I hope that we, corporately, will worship at Living Waters Kingdom Ministries where Apostle Raymond Wells is senior pastor.

Political 'dinosaurs' are here to stay

I always find the proposition intriguing when commentators or columnists anticipate the likely death of the Bahamian two-party establishment as a third party seemingly gains ground. Nicole Burrows is the most recent columnist to raise this spectre as she foresees the political dynamic shifting steadily in the Democratic National Alliance’s favour.
