Cuban reply over man in prison

ALLOW me to clear up some elements in the article that appeared on March 13 in relation to Bahamian national Jamaric Green.

National health insurance

The Gold Rush Administration, led by a man whom many believe is delusional, even rip Van Winkleish, is again, on the wrong path at the wrong time. It is astounding that this administration seems to be so tone deaf as to the real needs and aspirations of the average Bahamian.

Plane crash questions

Thank you for your valuable space. I read the report about the plane that crashed into the sea off Clifton and was surprised to read that the pilot said it was more dangerous to land on the airport than to crash the plane into the shark-infested sea.

The wrong results

Say no to condoms in schools

For quite some time now, we have been brainwashed to believe that education would be the golden path for enlightenment and a panacea for all mankind’s problems. Although education has its place, I would like to argue that the world does not need more “educated people”.

What’s the punishment?

The revelation that the dormitory destroyed by fire at BAMSI was never insured doesn’t come as a surprise considering the way this and other government contracts are and have been awarded in the past.

Opposition visit to BAMSI

On March 2, 2015, Agriculture Minister V Alfred Gray criticised the Leader of the Opposition, Dr Hubert Minnis, for leading an FNM delegation on an unannounced tour of BAMSI in North Andros.

And what of you, Mr Christie?

You somewhat scathingly referred to “Rich Doctors” and “Wealthy people” when speaking of the new tax you are proposing for the NHS programme.

Orwellian Bahamas

My comment has to bring to the public’s attention that predictions written in George Orwell’s book 1984 are quickly becoming a reality in The Bahamas.

Think hard on NHI proposals

I beg space in your paper to express a few thoughts on the proposed National Health Bill.
