Rollins: Ignorance or arrogance?

On Tuesday, Dr Andre Rollins got his wish for a headline-grabbing story complete with a coloured head shot when he threatened to name names if Renward Wells is fired.

Big Bang and The Bible

Respected scientists around the globe theorise about how the universe began. The Big Bang Theory puts forth that there was some type of cosmic force that existed before the universe began.

FORT Charlotte Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) MP Dr Andre Rollins’ recent threat to divulge damning information relating to his friend Renward Wells’ signing of a $600m plus letter of intent with Stellar Waste Energy has all but eroded any vestige of goodwill that remained for him within the PLP among its leadership and its base of votaries.

Were those workers needed?

I was much exercised by the recent Tribune headline informing us that Government workers were going on strike. My first reaction, naturally enough, was “How would we ever know?” but I dismissed that thought as unworthy.

Leadership crisis

According to the online Webster’s dictionary leadership is synonymous with guidance, direction, control and management. A lack of leadership would be the opposite of the four characteristics mentioned above.

Paying for influence

Having listened to segments of the alleged debate in the Parliament on the Gaming Act and heard the explanation of the Prime Minister/Minister of Finance as to who paid for the gaming consultants etc … if you missed the explanation, incredibly the parties who, for years, that have been operating illegally were billed through their attorneys to pay for the consultation.

Troubles with simple language

It is amazing how difficult it is for most Bahamians to write simple grammar. I cringe when someone tells me he/she wants me to read a letter from a government ministry.

A respected referendum

The majority of the citizens of Scotland are ringing their bells this morning.

Sandilands patients on streets

Approximately three years ago, it had come to my attention, and I must say that I was very shocked as well as extremely disappointed that Sandilands had engaged in a policy of releasing patients into the Bahamian community despite the fact that these patients do not have a place to stay.

Call the Commissioner, Canadians

Next time, before publicising our perceived crime problems, those misinformed Canadians (many of whom are clearly enemies of The Bahamas) should check beforehand with our Minister & Commish.

PLP moves in right direction

The Gold Rush Administration, led by the Rt Hon Prime Minister, Perry Gladstone Christie, MP, PC (PLP-Farm Road), is, finally, getting its directions and priorities right. After initially fumbling the proverbial ball on any number of critical issues, the PLP government is forging ahead with doing the business of the people. Mind you, it is still too late in many cases but Rome, alas, was not built or reconstructed in one day.
