BGCSE research is needed
I am writing in response to Mr Massey letter “BGCSE: Status Quo Is Unacceptable” dated August 29, 2012.
Will the real expert please stand up?
I have read letters to the local newspaper that have attacked the quality of education in The Bahamas, especially within government schools.
The risk of oil
With the recent announcement that Bahamas Petroleum has been granted a three year license extension, it seems as if this government is moving full steam ahead with plans to facilitate a referendum which, if passed, will allow oil drilling in our waters.
Questions for John Marquis
As we near the fortieth anniversary of independence, I too am saddened like John Marquis that some things never change.
Cable Bahamas needs competition
I would like to take some time to address the issue of Cable fees being raised.
On the referndum
How is it that political parties can acknowledge they have accepted money from "number house" owners and there seems to be very little or no public/religious expression of revulsion and disgrace.
Greg Gomez in the spotlight
Prime Minister Perry G Christie has told the Press that the North Abaco by-election to fill the seat left vacant by former prime minister and that area's former member of Parliament, Hubert A Ingraham, will be held in October.
Tackling numbers houses
Firstly, numbers can be stopped if the government really wanted to. The backbone of all number houses is the Internet.
An end to Christie's honeymoon
The honeymoon is over, and it's time for members of the public, and in particular, the media to start asking the hard questions demanding answers on issues of national interest and make the Christie-led administration accountable and responsible from the get go, before they become despondent and ultimately vile to the Bahamian people.
Maynard shock
The recent shock of the passing of a rising star in the FNM, the late Charles T. Maynard will linger in the minds of many for far longer than any of us can imagine.
Concerning Bishop Eddie Long conference
The pastor of the Atlanta based New Birth Missionary Baptist Church Bishop Eddie Long is presently holding his Spirit and Truth Conference on Atlantis Paradise Island.
Get police out of schools
During the time that I was waiting at the Princess Margaret Hospital on Friday, two students, both soaked in blood, were brought into the Accident and Emergency section
Respects to T'rez Hepburn
Though T'rez Hepburn was an entertainer, mother and dear friend to many like myself, she was also a teacher.
Hold a referendum on BTC
During the lead up to the May 7 general elections the then opposition Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) spoke vociferously against the sale of 51 per cent of the Bahamas Telecommunications Company (BTC) to the global telecoms company Cable & Wireless Communications for a reported $210 million.
No FNM victimisation
I wish to respond to a letter to the editor which I suspected was written by a coward PLP letter writer whose aim and objective are to sow seeds of disunity in the FNM. The letter was not signed by the suspected PLP but “A loyal FNM and Minnis Supporter.”
