As the governing party celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Women’s Suffrage Movement in The Bahamas, my thoughts and concerns are: Is the recognition and celebration purely of a universal and national import or, is this another “slick and scheming attempt” by the governing party to create and legitimise a social strata innate and hereditary to a select few and their descendants primarily, in an effort to advance their partisan objectives?
BEC party venue
I was absolutely astonished when I read a story in one of the dailies relating to Bahamas Electricity Corporation choosing a venue owned by the family of its Chairman to hold a Christmas party. What was more astonishing than the story itself is the fact that the Chairman sees nothing wrong with this. He goes on to say: “It’s a non-issue.”
Issues in Bahamian society
Cleola Hamilton must resign immediately I totally agree with Jennifer Isaac Dotson and a few others that there is a conflict of interest or interest of conflict if there is ever such a thing.
One step forward, two back

I use this header because how this issue has been dealt with shows that whoever wrote the PLP “Charter of Governance” did not seemingly show the page on Numbers (page 168) to the Rt Hon Perry Christie before the PLP policy was written as how can the Prime Minister say he is shocked, aghast as to the number of alleged players of numbers when in his charter it states...“Due to the extent to which percentage of the population engages in the industry whether directly or indirectly, within the first 100 days in office the new PLP government will: hold a referendum of the general Bahamian population to determine whether it is the desire of Bahamians to legalise the numbers business...”
Angels and demons
I submit that Angels and Demons do exist and I propose to substantiate this proposition by spiritual and empirical evidence.
Briefly
The Government’s Blatant Shenanigans Must Stop
Gambling not the only problem
Our political, religious and community leaders are so extensively engaged on the subject of gambling, that we are ignoring other problems and incidents in our country.
A vanishing beach
Passing Saunders Beach driving west unamazed as it was reasonable to agree with the allegations of then Opposition MP Jerome Fitzgerald that with a storm the beach reclamation would be wiped out and it only took Sandy seemingly a few hours and it was a done deal.
The US Customs fiasco
Ladies and Gentleman, just when you thought it was safe to travel again we have been hit with long lines in the US Customs hall at Lynden Pindling International Airport resulting in flight delays and persons missing flights once again.
FNM sends strong message
I have watched with interest the rumblings in the Free National Movement (FNM) since the departure of Hubert Alexander Ingraham.
Briefly
IN A MOVE to position itself as one of the financial institutions of choice for Bahamians, the National Workers Co-operative Credit Union Limited announced the launch of two new strategies to boost savings for members.
Where are the journalists?
Where are the journalists in the country? All I see are “reporters” not journalists. I am very disappointed in what I read in the newspapers and hear on the radio and see on TV when it comes to news.
