Ingraham is a man to thank
I FULLY endorse the letter by Mr Kevin Evans dated May 14, 2012, and thank him for his courage and consistency in writing an accurate account of the recent administration and its outstanding leader. Many of us would wish to add to his comments, but space in newspapers does not permit.
Problem faced by the PLP
IT IS possible to use the pain that people are going through to further a political objective, but political victories have a double-sidedness to them that the winners fail to anticipate in terms of actual reckoning. Some run from it by remaining in "campaign mode", reminding us, even from church podiums of what they were elected to do.
Bahamas for Bahamians
PLEASE allow me a little space in your column to express my views on a distasteful and rather unfair situation that was brought to my attention early in May.
Ingraham - simply the best
Former Prime Minister and Member of Parliament-elect for the constituency of North Abaco Hubert A Ingraham told his constituents that he will be stepping down as their representative on July 29.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda...
DENIAL can be wonderfully comforting, at least in the short-term, whereas facing reality is often very unpleasant. Sadly, playing the woulda, shoulda, blame game, rather than honest introspection, is seldom helpful in the long-ter
Signing contracts near the end of a term
MR BRAVE DAVIS, PLP Deputy Prime Minister, has complained that the outgoing FNM government signed some 80 contracts worth over $24 million dollars during the months of March through the recent election campaign ending early May.
Hold Bell to same standards as Turnquest
AFTER suffering a devastating loss at the polls in the 2007 General Elections, the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) remained in election mode throughout the five-year administration of former Prime Minister Hubert A Ingraham.
A not so quiet storm
I WOULD like to address the few persons, who seem to think that Hon Dr Hubert A Minnis is not the best choice of leader for the Free National Movement Party.
Ingraham was an inspiration and a leader
May 7th, 2012, has come and gone, perhaps painfully and disappointingly so for you and for many Bahamians, but be assured that the legacy of national pride, success and upliftment you have inculcated in the psyche of Bahamians of every walk of life, whether acknowledged or not, will be indelibly etched in our memories and in our hearts.
Police reserves
THE crime problem is indeed vexing and heartrending. We are losing by the day one potential soul for great change in The Bahamas. It is along this vein that I write. One of the greatest measures in our resolution of the country's foremost issue is being neglected. I am beginning to wonder if it is purposely so.
Not happy with national security appointment
MOST Bahamians should know by now that the fifth prime minister elect of the Bahamas is the Rt Hon. Perry Gladstone Christie. He joins Hubert Ingraham as the only prime minister in Bahamian history to serve non-consecutive terms.
Time for rebirth of the FNM
I AM not surprised at all that the Free National Movement (FNM) has been soundly defeated by the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) in the General Election. The FNM was simply destroyed at the polls by the PLP. The new official Opposition party was only able to win nine seats to the PLP's 29.
What manner of leader is Christie?
ADMITTEDLY, I was depressed about the FNM's loss, and, moreso over Ingraham's exit from active politics.
Where have Nottage's principles gone?
I THOUGHT that Dr BJ Nottage was a different kind of person and PLP. He always came across as a nice person. I remember what he used to stand for when he was head of the CDR.
Why does the church oppose gambling?
I WOULD like to comment on an article which appeared in the April 5 edition of The Nassau Guardian.
