Certainly not Hubert Minnis, Peter Turnquest or Marlon Johnson, just to name three of the most undeserving Bahamians!

Notable Bahamians? So this could be notable for their bad deeds or good deeds?

Notably good I would have to say people from social services (I don't know of any off hand) and environmentaly conscious people (such as from BREEF - Casuarina McKinney-Lambert) or George Maillis from Bahamas Protected Area Fund and even George's father - a long time protector of the environment.

Notably bad people - the entire former PLP cabinet; the legitimized numbers criminals; the many notorious drug dealers the Bahamas has produced - Dwight Major, Samuel Knowles etc.

The honour should go to the POOR (pronounced pore by the poor) As the late Theresa Moxey told me many years ago when describing those most in need of assitance fron a govt program..the poor, .they are the single women always with a number of children kstruggling to make ennds meet. Today those include many others struggling, barely having less than the basic, multiple challenges but in face of advesity manage and put their best foot forward with hope that the next day they will be able to do better.....

There are many deserving Bahamians who have unselfishly sacrificed of themselves for the betterment of our country. Many of them have never held political office, or received any special titles, appointments, or recognition. I will definitely be making some suggestions directly to the Honours Committee.

To preserve the INTEGRITY and HONESTY of the title, NO PREVIOUS OR CURRENT GOVERNMENT MEMBER should NEVER be bestowed the title.

Comrade I get all nauseous when the PMO keeps secret with no announcement who are the names Imperial Red Shirts Cabinet sendoff Buckingham Palace - instructs the Queen’s to put on Her Majesty's Birthday Honours list.
