Where’s the Bahamians?

CABINET took a break and I suggest wasted their time visiting The Pointe site at the British Colonial as they did not discover that there are very, very few Bahamians working on the construction as we speak.

The face of misogyny

GLENYS Hanna Martin single handedly took on the thirty-four at every sitting of the current session of the House of Assembly. She was doing such a good job fighting for the little man, that Halston Moultrie, the Speaker, of the House of Assembly decided to help them.

Stagnation of The Bahamas

I would appreciate my letter being published as an open letter to the Deputy Prime Minister.

Speaker’s non-apology

THE Vote of No Confidence brought by the erstwhile “Magnificent Four” of the new PLP, led by our leader, the Hon Philip ‘Brave’ Davis, QC (PLP-Cat Island, Rum Cay & San Salvador), against the Speaker of the House of Assembly, has been debated and defeated. Of course, no sensible observer of this whole exercise expected such a motion to succeed in view of the excessively large majority commanded by the governing Free National Movement in the House.

Symonette has to go

IT is truly agonising watching people major in minor issues while minoring in major issues.

Speaker planned comments

MR Speaker’s outburst was politically planned... there is no doubt.

Shame on PM

WHY couldn’t Prime Minister Minnis take the positive initiative in the House this morning and apologise for the issue with the Speaker, Moultrie and his MP Ms Emmanuel?

Constitution cannot back illegal act

In February 2012, using easy to follow examples, I explained why children born to illegal migrants are not constitutionally entitled to be registered as citizens of The Bahamas.

Replace the Speaker now

The following is an open letter to the Prime Minister.

Say VAT? It's voodoo ecomomics

I am becoming increasingly disillusioned with the path this country is on. Our leaders seem to have no clue about how to run a country or more simply, how to prioritise their responsibilities. They are failing at managing the economy, crime, health and immigration, just to name a few.

Electric supply holding us back

The World Bank Ease of Doing Business Report, 2017, for the Latin American and Caribbean Division shows certain rankings.

Clifton correction

In an article “Ruining Our Heritage,” I incorrectly referenced the historic steps of Clifton to the plantation era.

Wulff Road query

Can you (or a member of the public) shed some light on the following:-

Moultrie speaks out of turn

Vernon Joseph Symonette and Dewitt Halson Moultrie were both born in Mathew Town, Inagua, about 15 years apart. Both would become members of the FNM and both would be elevated to the post of Speaker of the House of Assembly.

Debasing the office

I watched and listened in disbelief on Wednesday, 7th February 2018, as the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Halson Moultrie, debased the Office of Speaker, the Honourable House of Assembly, the Parliamentary process and the people of the Bahamas, by using the historic Chair in which he sits to launch an emotional rant in defense of his actions. It was more than a sad performance; it was pathetic.

The lowest day of the low

Yesterday was a difficult day. There have been quite a number of “low” days in the House of Assembly in recent times when the behaviour of Members on both sides, failed to meet even the most basic of standards of conduct expected of parliamentarians in our tradition.

Moncur and marijuana

WHILE I do not agree with Rodney Moncur on many things, I am in total agreement with his stand on marijuana.

Tree pruning

WEST Bay section immediately after the last round-about at Baha Mar heading west towards residence of Perry Christie and One Cable Beach Condos - what can only be described as the massacre of the Casuarina trees ...

Get to The Point(e)

I write in total agreement with, and in full support of, the recent letters appearing in your paper, notably from Abraham Moss and Pamela Burnside, regarding that hideous, crass, architectural insult known as “The Pointe”.

Church on Sunday

IF I might use your columns to ask whomever the cap fits to wear it. Minister of Heath, the Hon Dr Duane Sands or Dr Charles Diggiss, President of Doctors Hospital.

Are we worth $12,000?

THIS morning’s Tribune and Fridays, which arrived late, both have unbelievable headlines.

Immigration law must be changed

EDITOR, The Tribune.I just finished reading a letter to the Editor dated January 31st by JC attorney. I am in total agreement with all that he said. Why on earth do we allow those immigrants born here to have an automatic right to apply for citizensh

Big bang policing

EDITOR, The Tribune. THE newly appointed Commissioner of Police, Mr Anthony Ferguson, has started off his 2018 Crime Suppression/Fighting Initiative with a refreshing twist. Technology, never before used, is being deployed viz-a-vie drones and helic

The rule of law

WE should not be so myopic as to believe the ruling in the case of Mr Jean-Rony Jean Charles only has implications for immigration matters. Instead, we should look to the greater issue which is that none of us are above the rule of law – not even the government, its departments or the civil service.

The learning crisis

In recent days the effects of the failure of many students to successfully learn Maths and English skills have been highlighted by an RBC Royal Bank executive.
