BTC ownership
The PLP Government wishes to take back majority ownership of BTC, to make it “Bahamian owned” , or so it says.
FNM is proud of our former PM
We in the FNM are proud of what the Honourable Hubert Ingraham has done for our Party and for our country.
Exam results
THE Nassau Guardian’s front-page story “Dismal exam scores continue” –August 8, 2012, page 1– focused public attention on one of the country’s greatest problems...too many of the nation’s public school leavers are illiterate and do not earn a high school diploma.
Sporting benefit of a national lottery
Great Britain is now exceeding its medal count of all previous Olympics.
Church must rise against the numbers
The evangelical church in the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) will probably face its greatest test of commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ in the coming months as the Christie administration moves forward with its plan to hold a referendum on gambling. Of course, this particular voting bloc is perhaps the most important within the PLP.
Ministers facing questions

Late-again PLP must end discrimination against women
It is a cruel twist of fate that Fred Mitchell, the only Parliamentarian in either of the Houses of Parliament (he was a PLP Senator at the time) to vote against the Resolution to abolish all forms of discrimination against women in The Bahamas in 2002 was given the privilege by Prime Minister Christie, of announcing in Parliament that 10 years too late, the late again-PLP finally understand that discrimination against Bahamian women is wrong. Still, as they say: “better late than never.”
Gambling debate rages on
The debate on the legalization of a lottery rages on.
Thanks to staff at PMH for their care
I have benefited from the professional service and care that has been provided by several of the fine employees of the Male Orthopaedic Ward of the Princess Margaret Hospital.
To nationalise or re-nationlise
It concerns me seriously that journalists, who might not know better as I suspect, owing to their surname are not Bahamian, use the word “re-nationalise” in the context of the ongoing proposal arising from a pre-election promise, to the reality of face-to-face discussions between the Government and Cable & Wireless, whereas the intent is for the Government to re-establish that the majority of the equity shares will be held by the Treasurer of The Bahamas instead of the people.
Complicitous nuances
Politicians do dumb things in the name of the “party line”, and a certain level of “dumbness” can be expected from them as they go about doing what they think is best in a particular moment.
Policing without fear
THE change in the Police Act, that took away security of tenure from the Commissioner was a major mistake made by the former government.
