WE NOW have a better understanding of Jesus’ observation that a successful man is not honoured in his own country after government’s announcement — followed by some public protest— that the northbound bridge to Paradise was to be officially named in honour of Bahamian Sir Sidney Poitier.
ACCORDING to reports the grumbling among PLP “generals” is getting louder and others are complaining that if Urban Renewal 2.0 — one of the PLP’s major campaign promises in the May 7 election — was supposed to reduce crime as promised, it is not working.
WASHINGTON — Airlines have cancelled thousands of flights, stranding travellers around the globe. Insurers are bracing for possible damages of $5 billion. Retailers face shrunken sales.
THE AGE of Hubert Ingraham is over. Or is it?
WITH PRIME Minister Perry Christie telling the press that he will announce the date for the gambling referendum after this week’s cabinet meeting, Archbishop Patrick Pinder yesterday released in all Catholic churches his seven-page reflections on the Bahamas’ illegal gambling.
PRIME Minister Christie now has the longed for icing on his cake, but it will be a very bitter icing and a hard cake to bite into if he doesn’t formulate and enforce a strict code of ethics on his parliamentarians and instruct them in the age-old precedents of a parliamentary system within which they are expected to function.
IT IS not illegal, but is it right for a prime minister to be within the precincts of a polling station while citizens are voting — particularly when those citizens are government employees?
PLP Chairman Bradley Roberts, in thanking the people of Abaco for “ushering in a new day”, claimed that the PLP’s election win represented “a great victory for both democracy and the good people of North Abaco…”
BY THIS evening the new MP for North Abaco will have been elected. All the noise, fuss and bother of a bye-election will be over.
Today in our democratic Bahamas there are many frightened Bahamians.
BAHAMIANS in Nassau are now asking how much moving the cabinet to Abaco for a supposed one-day meeting will cost the Public Treasury.
PRIME MINISTER Christie made his political philosophy very clear Saturday night when he took to the platform at his party’s rally in Treasure Cay, Abaco, in support of the party’s candidate in the North Abaco bye-election.
SUDDENLY, at lunch yesterday, in the middle of a conversation that had nothing to do with politics, one of our friends, his face taut with worry, interrupted.
SANDALS Resorts International, although admitting that Sandals Emerald Bay in Exuma is “facing severe difficulty in continuing operations because of the multitude of high cost” associated with operating on a Family Island, still believes that these islands are the future for Bahamian tourism.
“THE sharp falloff in resort tourism in the Bahamas has claimed one of its largest victims: The financially struggling Four Seasons Resort Great Exuma closed Tuesday after failing to stem the flow of red ink,” wrote Maura Sadovi as the Wall Street Journal on May 27, 2009, announced that the “tourist drought sinks Four Seasons in the Bahamas.”
PRIME Minister Perry Christie almost sounded genuinely concerned when he recently said that there was a possibility that Sandals Emerald Bay on which so much money had been spent to develop an “incredibly beautiful product,” could close.
TODAY the government armada descended on Abaco in the form of the Cabinet — ministers, permanent secretaries, cabinet staff, with their books, papers and agendas...
NO WONDER Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley was so fulsome in his praise of the media in his Republic Day address in Trinidad over the weekend.
AT the other end of the telephone early yesterday morning a chuckling, Trinidadian- accented voice, asked the loaded question:
WHILE THE West desperately searches for ways to reduce its fuel cost and thus its reliance on Middle East oil, it seems that despite its efforts, OPEC members plan to have the last laugh.
CALLERS to The Tribune have warned that Tribune reporters should be careful because certain PLP operatives are not taking too kindly to The Tribune’s publication of allegations made in a Supreme Court document about the behaviour of the Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly.
WAS IT a slip of the tongue or was it deliberate?
ALREADY they are discussing how to share the oil wealth, even before the first vein of oil has been discovered to make the discussion relevant.
THE much awaited letter from House Speaker Dr Kendal Major informing him of North Abaco MP Hubert Ingraham’s resignation from the House arrived on the Governor General’s desk yesterday morning.
IF from a log cabin in the backwoods of Kentucky the sixteenth president of the United States could step forth, there was no reason why 203 years later Cooper’s Town, Abaco, could not produce from similar circumstances the second prime minister of the Bahamas.
