WHY IS it important for the Bahamas government to try to renegotiate a contract, signed by the Ingraham government, to regain controlling shares in Bahamas Telecommunications Company?
BUSINESSMAN Frankie Wilson, one of the lead negotiators in the Christie government’s efforts to regain the majority shares in Bahamas Telecommunications from Cable & Wireless, admits that foreign investors are now looking at the Bahamas with a jaundiced eye.
CHARLES CITY, Va. AP — In water to his waist and mud to his calves, Ben Colteaux pulled up a net and found a stinky monster.
LONDON (AP) — The prince has no clothes — but most British newspapers aren't running the pictures.
WHILE the Swires (Cathay Pacific) group was negotiating with the Bahamas government to take over Bahamas Airways, which was a subsidiary of BOAC, another airline company was being incorporated in the chambers of Lynden Pindling and Kendal Nottage. The date was March 13, 1968.
OURS WAS not the only raw nerve touched when Dr Nottage threw out his chest in the House of Assembly on August 8 and boasted: “Every important milestone, historical or otherwise, every important institution, every important liberalisation of personal rights have been ushered in by the Progressive Liberal Party or this government.”
DESPITE the PLP’s promises of a better Bahamas at the end of its first 100 days in office, crime continues to dominate the headlines.
THE TRIBUNE reported on Tuesday that Attorney General Allyson-Maynard Gibson blamed former prime minister Hubert Ingraham for the failure of the 2002 referendum because it was he – and not her party – that had politicised the issue.
“EVERY important milestone, historical or otherwise, every important institution, every important liberalisation of right, personal rights, have been ushered in by the Progressive Liberal Party or this government,” Dr Bernard Nottage reminded House members last week.
"EVERY important milestone, historical or otherwise, every important institution, every important liberalisation of right, personal rights, have been ushered in by the Progressive Liberal Party or this government,” Dr Bernard Nottage, Minister of National Security and Government Leader in the House, proudly boasted on the floor of the House on August 8.
IN a discussion in this column on Friday of how this government, instead of reducing expenditure in an attempt to reduce the country’s “unsustainable” national debt, is increasing it by granting unnecessary perks to reflect the status of certain government MPs, we got two separate Moss families confused.
SEVERAL YEARS ago a debate arose when members of the public expressed annoyance at expensive cars being used by government members during the Pindling administration for a certain official function — at the moment we do not recall whether the function was in the Bahamas or in the US.
ACCORDING to reports filtering into The Tribune’s newsroom, several persons appointed to head government boards and committees by the PLP administration seem unaware of this country’s stressed financial situation. Although the Bahamas is a part of the world, albeit a miniscule and not very important part in the overall scheme of things, the PLP while in opposition and naturally their followers, refused to believe that the Bahamas’ economic downturn was in anyway affected by the world’s economic collapse.
AS A follow up to our comments in this column yesterday a Tribune reader has sent us an interesting article from London’s Daily Mail on the Englishman’s destructive addiction to the roulette machine and Labour’s admission that it made a mistake by relaxing gambling laws thus allowing casinos to flourish.
TO GAMBLE or not to gamble — that is the question. In the Bahamas today it is a question that has already been answered by a large number of Bahamians without need of a referendum.
PRIME MINISTER Perry Christie is sticking to his story — his government was elected on May 7 “on the basis that we would move to acquire the majority interest” of Bahamas Telecommunications Company from its new owners, Cable and Wireless.
IT SEEMS that Prime Minister Christie’s plans to move full steam ahead to regain the remaining two per cent of Bahamas Telecommunications Company and return it to government control, will start in August.
WITH THE Bahamas’ economy in desperate straits – the need to reduce our crippling national debt, get Bahamians back to work, and attract both local and foreign investors – we were surprised that Prime Minister Christie would reveal at an international conference how little his government respects contracts, especially those negotiated by a previous government.
ISN’T it a shame that Prime Minister Perry Christie, who would have us believe that he and his party are primarily interested in people – particularly Bahamian people – has decided to hold a referendum on women’s rights mainly because of growing international concern about this country’s policies on women’s rights.
MADRID— Spain's financial crisis is a lot like peeling an onion: remove one troubled layer and you expose another.
IN POLITICS they call it “pay back time” or “jobs for the boys.” Today it is so blatant under the new government that it is causing much chatter on both sides of the political divide.
ON THE day that we should have been behind our desk or watching TV 13, we were at a morning meeting and so did not hear or see former prime minister Hubert Ingraham’s final farewell from front-line politics.
WE HOPE that Police Commissioner Ellison Greenslade will remain his own man and not let politicians influence his decisions and sully his fine reputation.
THE “all for me baby” crowd is back in town with their belief in entitlement — remember “God gave this country to the PLP” and “I only lookin’ out for PLPs.” Mixed in with their bag of political tricks is victimisation of those who don’t sit in the same political pew and the belief that jobs have to be found for the boys — whether or not the boys have the ability to do them.
IN THIS column yesterday we promised to lay out the facts and let our readers decide which of two ladies has the best qualifications to head government’s Urban Renewal programme in Grand Bahama.
