Surrey horses in Nassau
I was visiting Nassau during April for vacation. It was our first trip to the Bahamas; we were inspired by the beautiful beaches, friendly people, warm climate and great water sports and it looked like Paradise at first glance. We took a trip to downtown Nassau, which included the famous Straw Market and Prince George Wharf, and that is where the trip changed.
The results are finally in
After an exciting weekend, we can finally reveal the results of the recent sporting event.
What world are we in?
UNABLE to sleep last night because of a cold, my mind drifted back 30 years when LOP was suggesting that the Bahamas was moving from being a Third World country to a First World country.
Junkanoo Carnival
Just a little comment on The Bahamas Junkanoo Carnival issue, and event.
Jerome and his motives
So Jerome Fitzgerald voted against the appointment of a House select committee to investigate the Rubis leak in his constituency, along with most of his PLP colleagues who were present.
The continued BEC problems
WITH BEC continuing to be plagued with problems in supplying electricity to New Providence and the fear that Baha Mar coming on stream will increase the problem, many residents are asking why successive governments have not negotiated better terms with investors.
Vote that broke the camel’s back
PROGRESSIVE Liberal Party backbencher Dr Andre Rollins single-handedly out-manoeuvered the opposition on the Rubis matter in one single swoop, by calling for a Select Committee of The Bahamas Parliament to investigate the circumstances surrounding the 2012 underground gasoline leak in Marathon.
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
As the government has recently indicated that the enabling legislation is just about ready for this long sought-after consumer benefit . . .
Guardians of our health
ALTHOUGH highly unlikely, there is a remote possibility that an exposed resident could develop a late-onset health condition due to oil spill toxins.
NHI should not be forced upon us
AS A Bahamian citizen I take great objection to the fact that the present government wants to Force National Health Insurance down our throats.
