Remember whose money it is
Time is past overdue for all of us to re-emphasise to the above-mentioned persons that all public funds spent by anyone on behalf of the government and people of The Bahamas, (be they public service personnel, Ministers, etc), are subject to the scrutiny of an audit.
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.

Solutions, please
I find it quite extraordinary although I admire his honesty that Minister Rolle is prepared to say publicly at the Conclave of the Chambers of Commerce that because the Bahamian infrastructure is so old and planning in The Bahamas is so far behind modern thinking we’re facing a “Slow Death” economically. Does not jibe with what his Boss is saying, I think.
Healthy discussion is vital
On Tuesday, Ms Ava Turnquest, Tribune Chief Reporter, called me, introduced herself and asked if I wished to comment or provide a perspective on the Oil Spill Report released in relation to the Marathon area. I chuckled and asked: “Why do you need my opinion for a coat hanger for your story?”
The crime problem
According to all of the essential facts and pieces that are now in, and some of which consists of:
Too much, too young
I read with interest your story titled, “Lawyer claims pregnant woman denied care in nationality row” published on Tuesday, April 21.
Concern over policing
It was very interesting to hear and know of a statement that was said to have been made by the Commissioner of Police.
Ambassador responds to Cuba story
I would like to make reference to the Associated Press article in the Business section on April 15 (Cuba fights public anger with reform in country’s tense east) about the devastation and disappointment of the people from Santiago de Cuba and the efforts of the Cuban government to solve the urgent needs of the population of that important region.
