Whether he could afford to pay or not is not the issue before the courts. And the insurance company claims that renewal was not requested and/or initiated, which is generally an industry standard requirement for airplane insurance; so not sure why you believe he did what the insurance company claims he did not do. If he had initiated the renewal process, surely his attorneys would have presented evidence of that as part of their case.
How can someone who is not governing anything, know anything much? These people are not governing, they are sitting in the seats pillaging and plundering until they die or are voted out, whichever comes first.
The so-called editorial license that the Tribune and other media houses take in this country never ceases to amaze. In order for this headline not to be biased or libelous, the Tribune should have put in the headline the person or entity that claims the plane was uninsured, since right now the insurance status is in legal dispute. For example, headline should read 'Insurance Company: Munroe Plane "Was Uninsured"' or a variation of the same. To only run the headline 'Plane "was uninsured"' without also stating in the headline who is making the claim gives the appearance to readers that the Tribune itself is making this determination as a statement of fact, or siding with the same.
The media could have had this information from the start because it is a matter of public record, but I suppose that means the media would have had to do the work of the media...
Maybe the business community, instead of just talking to a government they know doesn't listen, should have perhaps taken actions the government could not just simply ignore. But hey, this is The Bahamas after all, right? Just chit chat behind closed doors and then take it.

Exactly. Why should the nation care about this? He can simply pay for his statement to be carried as an ad in the papers and that ends that.

Why does the Tribune have such a seemingly personal interest as a media house in Sir Jack's "real" statement?
