Respects paid to ‘Dud’ Maynard

OFFICIALS yesterday remembered the life and legacy of former parliamentarian Andrew “Dud” Maynard, calling him someone who valued country over politics.

The Del Zottos

Christie says NHI will boost nation’s economy

WHILE still not providing clarity to much of the country’s confusion surrounding the planned implementation of National Health Insurance, Prime Minister Perry Christie yesterday made a push to persuade Bahamians to trust the government in handling the healthcare scheme, insisting that NHI is expected to “boost the economy”.

A FORMER Cabinet Minister has accused the current House Speaker of being the worst in Bahamian history.

What a pity that Harry and his wife in their recent Oprah Winfrey “tell all” interview should have played the race card.

Top Finance official denies that Bahamas over-taxed

A top Ministry of Finance official yesterday acknowledged that the Business Licence fee could be transformed into a flat-rate corporate income tax as he refuted arguments this nation is over-taxed.

Symonette the man to be leader

Re: Your editorial of Feb 2, 2017: “It’s Time For The Opposition To Get Its Act Together”, and in which you reference and quote the thrust of an excellent editorial letter by Luther McDonald published on January 24th.

Solar energy plan

Your front page story on our PM’s Solar Energy Plan prompts me to raise a point that I think has merit, in the case of BEC/BPL (could we please revert to the former name now that the foreigners are gone ).

We must not accept shanty towns

THERE are certain matters that are beyond politics. We are a small country of 350,000 people. These islands belong to the Bahamian people. These are beautiful islands. We must protect them.

Digital move a sensible one

I congratulate the government on taking the step of moving payment of NIB benefits to digital wallets. This is a step in the right direction to diminishing, if not terminating, long lines at NIB, social services, food stores, and other service places. Unfortunately, as I write, the morning after the PM’s speech, I see, in social media, long lines on Tonique Williams Darling highway. It is said that the line represents people waiting for vouchers at the “union building”.

EDITORIAL: The high price you risk for breaking quarantine

IF people weren’t taking the risks involved with breaking quarantine seriously beforehand, then yesterday’s introduction of a hefty possible punishment ought to focus the mind.

EDITORIAL: Plastics law to have teeth - now enforce it

When the ban on single-use plastics was first proposed, we warmly welcomed it in this column – with one caveat: It has to be enforced.

GOLDEN Isles MP Vaughn Miller attacked the Minnis administration’s legislative agenda yesterday evening, saying in the House of Assembly that many of the bills the administration has passed have no relevance to the major issues facing the country.

EDITORIAL: Economy bruised by pandemic, but recovering

THROUGHOUT the pandemic, we have been aware of the economic effects hitting our country, without perhaps always being able to put a precise number to them.

‘PLP needs credible candidates’

Progressive Liberal Party deputy leader Chester Cooper has stressed the need for the party’s 2022 general election candidates to be “good” and “credible” people.

Hurricane tax plan . . . say what?

FOLLOWING the disastrous aftermath of the monster Hurricane Matthew and the need for hundreds of millions of dollars “to fix the country”, it is unbelievable to hear talk about the possibility of a “hurricane tax” to be levied on us, the already suffering public, when we have been constantly bombarded with evidence of the blatant, irresponsible spending by government of our monies over the past several years.
