BAMSI insurance
Please permit me to share my views on the Minister of Works’ recent disclosure that the Contractors Insurance at BAMSI had expired, due to the delay in completion and the contractor had not extended the same.
Government secrets
For many months the government of The Bahamas has been working on a national health insurance plan.
Time to legalise marijuana?
How would one tell if a person was under the influence of marijuana, short of taking a blood test?
Little Harbour development
I am writing to you concerning the current plan by Winding Bay/Southworth Development to put a marina, store and snack bar in the small, residential community of Little Harbour.
Time to stop the damage
You are correct. Lots of young black men are dying, but it’s not because of the absence of national health insurance.
Governing against the national intent
The evidence at hand suggests that this present government is hell-bent on taking this nation down a path that is against what Bahamians call the “national intent”. There are choices that citizens make and there are decisions that administrations make, and this Government seems to be on a path that makes us question their intentions.
Gray and his defence of Christie
On page A3 of Saturday’s 21st February issue of The Nassau Guardian appeared an article under the heading “Gray: Some PLP backbenchers need to revaluate political futures.”
PhDs at COB?
I am reliably informed that at the 2015 Bahamas Business Outlook Forum, the first two questions asked of Dr Rodney Smith, President of The College of The Bahamas by two persons in the audience were: Where are the PhDs at COB?
Who will speak on behalf of Bahamians?
I write regarding the ongoing discussions of the recent enforcement of Immigration policies in the country. I note with interest that for the most part, both local dailies have taken the pro-immigrant position at every opportunity.
Politicians and the tongue
We are used to the lies that politicians feed us every election period. We are used to the endless promises of jobs and opportunities. You would have to be a fool to believe anything that these politicians promise.
Why bring race into it?
“If you are black and you are poor, you die. Surely a tax is better than death.” What kind of idiotic statement is that in a country of 85 per cent black, ruled by the majority?
Copper ban
The response to someone electrocuted by a man stealing copper is to ban copper!
Govt must ban copper export
By allowing copper export the PLP government is not encouraging the development of an industry but crime, a country exports what it produces, copper export is ridiculous, as far as I know The Bahamas does not produce copper.
Will real Christians stand up?
ON July 10, 1973, The Bahamas made a giant step in removing its shackles from the British Empire and becoming an independent nation. In our preamble to the constitution, it states that we are a Christian nation, abiding by Christian principles. This now remains to be seen.
Rollins the populist
Bahamians who are in the lower economic classes were probably rooting for Fort Charlotte MP Dr Andre Rollins as he exchanged words with Elizabeth MP Ryan Pinder last week in the House of Assembly, over the former’s revealed intentions to opposed the PLP’s proposal to introduce a National Health Insurance tax in January 2016.
