Remember that photo where hundreds of photo journalists had their cameras focused on Usain Bolt and he took one of their cameras and started taking pictures of them? A picture is worth a thousand words.
All yall complaining about Perry Christie and how weak he is as prime minister, but how many of y'all could do his job for at least a month? Yall couldn't do the job cause half a yall couldn't even be late!
While many may not support this current government and many of the policies they have implemented or the promises they have failed to live up to, we don't want to see the government brought down by a small group of radicals whose intentions are unclear or questionable. Allow the natural course of governance to prevail and when the time comes the power of "one man, one vote" will become evident.
Aren't you convinced that potcake Leslie Miller is Bipolar? He he's tell gonna ta prepare for a long hot summer, then he turn rite around in front of the same camera and says "tongs fer be fix by tomorra ". I say buy candles an make one paper fan
Did you hear of the incident where an off duty police officer cussed out the prime minister in Abaco? He was locked in a cell overnight and made to apologize and yall talking about democracy under threat ... Orr
According to reports the "convict was arrested, charged and sentenced all in the same 24 hours and also booked on a flight to come to Nassau and to Fox Hill Prison. No time for lawyers here. Swift justice at warp speed!
So what happens to the premis "innocent until proven guilty?" In the case of the young man it seems that something was unusual about his matter was handled, especially the claim that he was not allowed to speak at his trial nor was he offered medical treatment as he too suffered injuries during his "meeting" with the police. The purpose for separation of powers in the legal /justice system is to ensure that there are no kangaroo courts and the powers of the police are constrained. Even the most rogue criminal is entitled to his day in court and the evidence presented should be in relation to the charges at hand. None of us can say we have a squeaky clean and untainted police force as our own experiences or that of close friends or relatives will prove different. Just recently a motorist was "arrested" on an alleged traffic violation. When he got to the police station the officer in charge of the station instructed the arresting officers to "put some criminal charges on him and make him spend some money". This was a crown sergeant. So yes there is need for a full investigation. From the arrest straight through until Gray got involved and the family island commissioner made his public statement.
Does NAD have a union to deal with? That will be a big challenge for BEC's new management And remember the Airport though very much improved, well maintained and properly managed, is not cheap. Even the cost of parking has doubled under the new management. But at this stage anything is an improvement, since blackouts are constant and the cost of electricity already triple what it should be.
How could someone be at the helm of a company for three years and still telling you, as a consumer, to expect more of the same? That means that this government and the chairman of BEC has not even sought to seek temporary relief for BEC's constant and crippling blackouts. (how about leasing generators for the summer peak?) This is disgraceful and so thoughtless! and it seems the government intends to limp through the next two years in the dark and leave BEC's problems to the next generation (of government that is)
You cannot mete justice with injustice and it seems that the way this entire matter was handled begs further investigation, beyond the political witch hunt to scalp Alfred Gray for what he may or may not have done. When you hear persons taking to the media and claiming their only interest is for a Better Bahamas, yet aligning themselves with a certain political party and revealing things about the young man's character that they feel he is troublesome and should go to jail. One such person claims to be a trained lawyer and a former policeman. Thank God he aint no magistrate or judge!
