THE predictions are that this is going to be an "ugly" election. This need not be so if the leaders of the various political parties would in fact lead by example, not just talk about avoiding clashes, but do
A FEW immigration officers have dribbled back to work with sick slips, claims of being away on vacation, or joining the picket line only on their days off to try to escape the consequences of participation in the immigration-customs strike at the airport. The airport workers walked off the job on April 5.
Decision time for striking unionists A VISITOR arriving at Lynden Pindling International Airport over the weekend asked a Bahamian if the airport strike was still on. The Bahamian, feigning ignorance, asked: "What strike?" The visitor replied that he had
Unionists who put self before count ON TUESDAY Labour Minister Dion Foulkes, speaking with a Tribune reporter, seemed confused by striking Customs and Immigration employees. He said that all of the union's concerns had been discussed last month, and reso
NATIONAL SECURITY is at risk! Unskilled Defence Force officers are manning immigration stations at the airport, exposing the country to "terrorists and smugglers!"
TWO YEARS ago - on February 2, 2010 to be exact -- PLP Senator Jerome Fitzgerald stood on the seashore and tried to hold back the tide of progress.
THE POLICE now have the gangs in their sights. Nervous that retaliation between gang members for the mistaken murder of one of their own this week could lead to “gang war,” police are on full alert.
WHEN one picks up a copy of The Tribune and sees page upon page of homes on the market because owners are unable to keep up with their bank mortgages, there is cause for tremendous concern.
THE CYBER rascals are at it again. This time, they decided to hack into the gmail account of the president of the East Nassau Rotary Club.
MISSILE defence isn't the only area in which President Barack Obama will have "more flexibility" if he's re-elected. Immigration, the Canada-to-Texas oil pipeline, gay marriage, tax policy and other issues could invite bold initiatives by a president who knows he will never run for office again, especially if his party gains ground in congressional elections.
IN Marathon last night to introduce attorney Heather Hunt as the FNM’s candidate for that constituency, Prime Minister Ingraham announced that on Wednesday the House of Assembly had finished its work. It is now up to Mr Ingraham to set a date for the election, which must come before May 23 when constitutionally the life of the five-year parliament automatically ends.
ALTHOUGH only in her post for two short years, Nicole Avant was considered among the more popular of the US Ambassadors to be posted to the Nassau Embassy.
A READER of this column on The Tribune's website - Tribune242.com - commented that although he was "not a supporter of the PLP, at least their members are able to voice dissent. To not be able to do so," he wrote, "leads one down the slippery slope to a de facto dictatorship, which is where we unfortunately are as a country -- a dangerous cross roads indeed."
IN LEAFING through the Ed Moxey files in The Tribune's archives last night, we were not surprised to find that the Coconut Grove MP's own colleagues were trying to take credit for his cultural concept - Jumbey Village. In other words, they were trying to steal Mr Moxey's own brainchild from him.
"NO, I can't believe it - that can't be true!" This was Coconut Grove MP's Ed Moxey's shocked reply in May 1974 when a news reporter called to ask what he thought of a report that government had planned to build a replica of his Jumbey Village at Fort Charlotte.
The PLP promised, the FNM delivered THE STRAW market, once hallowed PLP ground, turned ugly on Thursday when a group of PLP politicians arrived to look into complaints about malfunctioning toilets and insufficient stalls for vendors still waiting to set
Franklyn Wilson understood the signs WE SUGGEST that PLP candidates who are trying to hoodwink Bahamian voters into believing that the downturn in the Bahamas' economy is either due to -- or has been made worse by -- the Ingraham government's "stopping, re
It's only protocol - nothing sinister in the visit HOPEFULLY, it has by now been established that Haitian President Martelly's brief stop-over in Nassau last week on his way to Mexico was neither at the invitation of the FNM government, nor was it an off
ELECTION TIME is here again and so are the promises. Promises, we might add, without any reference to the Public Treasury. Bahamians should be aware of the times in which we live and don't depend on election promises -- even in
Euro, rich-poor gap proved key at Davos Europe's crippling debt crisis dominated the world's foremost gathering of business and political leaders, but for the first time the growing inequality between the planet's haves and have-nots became an issue, tha
RUSSIA CONCERNED ABOUT NUCLEAR IRAN Russia expressed regret and concern Tuesday about Iran's launch of uranium enrichment up to 20 per cent at an underground facility, but urged all parties involved in the nuclear standoff with Tehran to avoid hasty move
THIS MORNING dawns with an interesting political scene developing and depending on which way the wheel turns, we might be facing an election just after Christmas. Miffed because their electoral seats were vaporised by the Boundaries Commission, two of the FNM’s MPs have resigned from the party.
IN 1845, just five years after its birth, The Bahamas Police Force (the “Force”) had its manpower reduced due to its high cost of £904 annually - which is equivalent to $541.06 in today’s currency. The Force did not have formal contracts for the first set of police officers, and they worked a 24-hour shift with a foot patrol system lasting more than a hundred years. Furthermore, records indicated a patrol system of two hours during the day, four hours during the night, and a break period at the station were equivalent to the hours on patrol.
OVER the years, Eric had been hit in the face with a baseball, broken his right arm twice, dislocated both shoulders and ruptured his groin but nothing prepared him for this latest trial. Last week I shared that Eric abruptly began experiencing flu-like symptoms that quickly worsened. Multiple in-hospital tests were performed but they were all non-definitive so doctors were left baffled as to what was making him so sick. Eric’s mother still desperately seeking answers is where we resume his story.
