Govt acted lawfully on Carnival
I thank you for the opportunity to respond to a letter that appeared in the editorial sections of the print media on the 21st and 22nd of December 2021 under the pen of SLB and the title “Incompetence and lack of transparency over carnival”.
Zimbabwe fears
It's extremely disheartening to keep on witnessing negative sentiments and lack of concerns by the Zimbabwean government about citizens who are continuously leaving Zimbabwe in search of better economic conditions in other foreign countries, particularly South Africa.
Unity benefits the Caribbean
A Commonwealth is a nation, state and or other political unit, founded on law and united by compactor tacit agreement by the people for the common good.
Making hard decisions with compassion
This past week the Hon Philip 'Brave' Davis, QC, MP, our beloved, for now at least, had to make the tough decision to say no to the hosting of Carnival this year. The rationale which I fully agree with was that there were too many risks of the event being a possible super spreader of the deadly COVID. Health and medical personnel had also warned about such possibilities. Educators were also concerned that with the proposed reopening of class rooms in January that children and young adults ran yet more risks of infecting other students or becoming infected themselves.
New Day or same as usual?
Did the Carnival issue cause the New Day to become "same as usual"? Carnival arrives…set up on Clifford Park.
Go tell it on the mountain
In my late teen age years I discovered the literary works of the late James Baldwin, a prolific African American writer and novelist. He wrote many books that became best sellers. One of his classics was: “Go tell it on the Mountain”. It described the path to emancipation by many black Americans back in the day. What he described therein was/is akin to conditions obtaining in The Bahamas today.
Fight for our country
Many persons know me as a youth advocate through my work as national director of the Governor General’s Youth Award. Post retirement, I have also come to identify as an environmentalist.
The problems facing Freeport
International Bazaar – Freeport – aren't two unions on the property?
Incompetence and lack of transparency over carnival
There are still so many questions on the Christmas Carnival mess the government is refusing to answer. After he read a statement on the Carnival, Press Secretary Clint Watson refused to answer questions. This is not the kind of transparency and accountability the PLP promised.
Clean-up horror story
To all who care about beaches,
How income tax works
A letter appearing in your column of Friday the 17th of December, written by a Kim Sawyer, displays a common misunderstanding of the nature of the Bahamian economy.
Freeport’s airport
Now that the GB Port Authority and Hutchinson Wampoa have conveniently extricated themselves from the loss-making joint ownership of the Grand Bahama Airport, it falls upon the Government to undertake the massive task of rebuilding.
Dignitaries and COVD rules
Is there a hidden new protocol for COVID, which is only for our so-called dignitaries and spouses?
Stadium - but seats stay empty
So the Sports Authority are better served with a bunch of bankers than business people who have some sense of how to manage a marketable facility. Didn’t the PLP pre-2017 sign a very costly management-marketing contract with a California Sports Marketing Co, and got nothing.
