Crime under Christie

I having a growing concern realising that crime against public personalities seem to trail Governments led by the current prime minister.

I have never seen such a big political turn out for the Opening of the Court of Appeal as happened this year. Not only were the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister in attendance, so also was the leader of the DNA.

VAT fears loom

The way that I’m interpreting, and maybe wrongly so, the Pushing Da Envelope cartoon in today’s Tribune is that the business is going to bear the brunt of VAT where, in fact, the consumer will reimburse the business for the VAT they paid once the consumer purchases the product.

PM's civil rights claim

I read the papers and the social medias and find myself in a quandary as to why the present Prime Minister and another previous nominee for the Civil Right Walk of Fame was being honoured. I decided that I would look for the definition of civil rights.

Davis is no successor

There is a lobby within the PLP who believe that Philip “Brave” Davis would make a better prime minister than the incumbent Perry Christie. Sadly, the record suggests that neither of these gentlemen has a clue about government nor governing.

What did BTC get?

While we are all distracted by debates and discussions about what we got out of the PM’s “new deal” with BTC, we seem to be missing two key points in this whole matter.

Trust - historic or broken?

Cabinet decides on ID cards?

Overstating the deal with BTC

I have just received the document issued by Franklyn Wilson, Chairman of the BTC Negotiating Committee, giving questions and answers about the new “Majority Bahamian Owned” BTC.

Don't be distracted from big issues

EDITOR, The Tribune.

The BTC deal

Prior to today’s announcement by the Prime Minister, Cable and Wireless (C&W) was the majority owner of BTC and the Government was the minority owner.
