Dear Minister Darren Henfield, For most of our 48 year history, The Bahamas has been relying on two of our strongest allies, which is the US and China. We always gave them our hopes and expectations, but what have we gotten from our cooperation?
Who’s going to lose the next general election in our country – The Bahamas? We, the Bahamian people, as usual.
Elections in Zimbabwe will be held in two years to come and the world is now beginning to think about the credibility of these elections.
Once again, The Bahamas looks likely to be forced to do the right thing for its population only after being bullied into it by outsiders.
Alarm bells are ringing at the travel agencies which I operate in Columbus and the southern Ohio area. We are not getting bookings for The Bahamas. After years when your country was a major destination for our clients, even in July and August, there appears now to be little interest.
The upcoming general elections will see many of those who are currently in the House of Assembly voted out with a vengeance.
Regularly your paper shows an updated table on the number of persons tested for COVID. including new cases and also the total number of COVID deaths.
(Mr Falcon Clarke, an officer of the Department of Corrections, says he sent the following letter “first to the Commissioner then to Minister Marvin Dames. Nothing has been done therefore I am now sending it to the news media”).
Under the heading, “Hundreds of court cases could be reheard” a local media recently made a news release that referenced the fact that voluntary bills of indictment (VBI) were signed by persons who were rejected by the Bahamas Bar Association (BBA). It further inferred that this has been going on for some time and has been known and accepted by the powers that be and that the validity of these actions will now be questioned and challenged by a local attorney.
I am not sure why secular musicians and irreligious Bahamians are all riled up over the Independence Day Committee’s decision to feature a Christ-centered motif for our upcoming Independence Day celebrations.
Some weeks back I saw a missive penned by a group of pastors that expressed disapproval of the appointment of a web shop gaming mogul by the Free National Movement government to a diplomatic post.
Are you aware that many FNM supporters have been ousted from the FNM in the past three decades and counting? We are called FNMs in exile, or FNM-iEx for short. Some among us are in voluntary exile from the party, and others have been forced in to the situation by forces loyal to Pindling’s most illustrious PLP protégé at that time.
I have operated travel agencies in the Maine and eastern Massachusetts area for many years.
I must confess at the outset that I am not an expert on the Bahamian Constitution.
Anyone who does not wish to receive the COVID vaccine has a right to refuse it. Government officials and all those who are writing articles and letters in the paper are confused.
Your columnist Simon hit the nail on the head in reference to people who do not get the vaccine. At the moment societies tolerate these people.
Often at the Mercy of Thugs
Worldwide persons are hesitant about taking a vaccination of any sort regardless of where it would have been developed due to what seems to be a number of reasons. These include: a stark lack of conversation amongst citizens and the so-called ‘experts’; a discussion on the pros and cons of taking a vaccine; mistrust of the relevant government and no guarantees that the “cure” will not be worse than the actual COVID-19. Many people are simply afraid to have a foreign serum injected into their bodily systems.
As a female professional, I was somewhat disappointed by the recent remarks of Mr Carl Bethel, the Honourable Attorney General, when he referred to the loss of employment of female prosecutors in the Office of the Public Prosecutions by highlighting same as burned out and contracting stressful illnesses. I can only imagine how demeaning and humiliating this reference to gender of those female prosecutors who have the robust role of the conduct and carriage of trial proceedings in the courts, primarily the Supreme Court.
At one time at the end of a hard work week, I looked forward to going home of a Friday evening, crashing into my most comfortable armchair, switching on to the US TV Station CNN and enjoying their weekend feature programme. Not so anymore.
Collectively we as real Bahamians have kicked the can filled with questions of citizenship too far down the road for too long. With the splendid ruling by a majority of the Court of Appeal recently (God bless them forever) the long vexing and debilitating question of citizenship is finally coming to a dramatic close.
I would appreciate it if you would publish this letter to Mr Richard Hardy, Director (Acting) of Lands and Surveys, in the hope that I shall get a reply to my question.
It is a Must and Pleasure to thank so much all the volunteers taking care of you at Loyola Hall.
Many decades ago a noted English political philosopher, Bertrand Russell, penned several essays relative to political power and why men and women could very well throw their parents, et al, under a bus to achieve it. These essays were eventually combined into a book that he titled: “Power”. During the long parliamentary recess (in the midst of the ongoing pandemic and a wobbly economy) I would urge all current members of the House and the senate, along with those who are seeking elective or appointed office, to read it.
It is recorded that last year the United States reported more than 20,000 murders – the highest total since 1995 and 4,000 more than in 2019.
