Mutiny in Garden Hills constituency

Free National Movement Leader Michael Pintard finds himself in an awkward situation, which I had anticipated when former Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis did not step down from active politics after the September 16, 2021 general election.

Pintard believes leadership is an entitlement

I read the letter in one of the dailies last week entitled, "Pintard's dictatorial approach to Minnis."

Why the early split in the PLP?

The PLP party with the strategic assistance of Randol Fawkes and Alvin Braynen ushered in Majority Rule in the Bahamas following the general election of 1967.

Supporters of Minnis in echo chamber

I was not the least bit surprised at the many negative comments aimed at former Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis in the comment thread of an article published on the Our News Bahamas Facebook page last week.

Spin and more spin

Since September 2021 we have witnessed an extraordinary level of political spin… the vocabulary we hear has gone way beyond normal understandable level and spin… have to ask how can a dual carriage-way have resilience?

Leader without a vision

The Leader of the Opposition FNM Party Michael Pintard has no vision, idea or plan for the Bahamian people and the Bahamas.

Motorcycle police

If you drive around the island of New Providence, you will note that there is a very high percentage of right-hand Japanese vehicles on our roads. However, most of us know that the speedometer is in kmh (kilometer per hour) and not mph (miles per hour). How many of us know that 1kmh is equal to 0.62mph.

Sir Randol, MLK and Garvey

There is one striking similarity between Sir Randol Fawkes, Dr Martin Luther King, Jr, and Jamaican National Hero Marcus Garvey that caught my attention after reading their biographies.

Food fight

The Tribune today, third of March 2023, would not have been off topic had its business section heading been "Food Fight".

Lack of speed signs in kmh

If you drive around the island of New Providence, you will note that there is a very high percentage of right-hand Japanese vehicles on our roads. However, most of us know that the speedometer is in kmh (kilometer per hour) and not mph (miles per hour). How many of us know that 1kmh is equal to 0.62mph.

Roundabout safety

Our roundabouts lack the necessary road signs to keep the motoring public safe.

Leadership in action

It was with some amazement that we read and listened to the Prime Minister’s bold and vigorous assertion last week that the Opposition’s ability to ask questions of the government is not an entitlement! This from someone who never misses an opportunity to trumpet his commitment to openness and transparency.
