Carnival comes to Parliament
I heartily agree with Loretta Butler Turner for taking exception to our parliamentary buildings being desecrated with carnival promotional paraphernalia. It’s a disgrace.
Rollins makes a stand - but not Minnis
In the House of Assembly today Dr Andre Rollins, PLP MP for Fort Charlotte, gallantly spoke up for the people of the Marathon Constituency in his quest to have a select committee of the House appointed to investigate the Rubis oil spill contamination in Marathon.
BEC is the embarrassment
While Prime Minister Christie celebrated the 50th anniversary of Black Tuesday in the dark, BEC Chairman Leslie Miller was informing the residents of New Providence that they will again have to do without electricity this weekend in order that the National Stadium is supplied for the IAAF World Relays “to avoid an international embarrassment.”
FNM made wrong choice
It is more than clear after the debate in the House of Assembly today that the FNM chose the wrong leader at its convention last year.
Speaker allows PLP harassment
I am so angry, and so proud at the same time, as I write this.
BEC needs to pull up its socks

Bahamian pride
“What more ya want boy?”
You get what you deserve
(This letter is a reader’s response to the guest editorial published in The Tribune on Thursday, April 16, under the heading “The Bahamas economy’s response to global shifts”).
Junkanoo is a family affair
We have heard all variations of objections about Junkanoo Carnival. Many have not even really checked what is being planned, but we attach ourselves to the first bit of information that talked about failure.
Say it ain’t so
Attorney General Allyson Gibson appears to have attempted to strike a fatal blow to investigation into possible fraud/financial abuses at the Urban Renewal (UR) with her legal opinion about the Public Accounts Committee’s (PAC) request to interview the UR Co-Chairs about the Auditor General’s Report.
Winning team for the FNM
It is clear to most FNMs and to the public at large that Dr Hubert Minnis is not being an effective leader of the FNM. As Frank Watson said, Dr Minnis should be able to demonstrate within six months whether or not he can lead the party to victory in the next general election.
Fitzgerald must apologise
Jerome Fitzgerald will not question the Attorney General’s decision to withhold the damning report from the residents of Marathon, and by extension, the Bahamian people at large.
