Another example of laziness in Bahamian journalism. Why hasnt the media told us who these two Bahamian men are, apart from their names which the indictment provides? It is well known who the fathers of both of them are, both high profile Bahamians.
In watching the video above, and with respect to the injunction the Head of the Labour Board claimed he had last evening, I too asked the question yesterday about proof of an actual injunction along with the ruling that would have gone with it. All some media houses did was report what the Labour Board official said, but they had no proof of the same in their hands to know that what they had been told was indeed the case. And we wonder why the country cannot advance? The media consistently refuses to do its job.
THIS is what they want to march on? With all that is happening in this nation today, THIS is what will prompt the DNA to hit the streets? The gods know! These political "parties" are stark-raving mad!
A right-thinking person can only shake one's head at this story. Some politicians simply want tot be heard and have headlines, even if what they are saying is illogical.
Boo-hoo, lawbreakers are upset about provisions in a Bill, a Bill that was drafted in an attempt to get them straight in the first place. Cry us a river. This country is so blindingly corrupt it is enough to make one lose hope.
“hiding behind the skirt tail of the governor of the Central Bank”. This is a rather unseemly and disrespectful way for the Chairman of a major political party to refer to the head of the Central Bank of The Bahamas. So, if the governor of the Central Bank were a man, would Cash have asserted that the Prime Minister was hiding behind his pant leg?
Wrong. Parliament has not even voted on those Constitutional Bills yet. What he voted yes to was the VAT Bill. That doesn't negate the merit of many of the points he has raised on this matter though.
I put this much credibility on the Tribune's "sources" - zero. The last time the Tribune cited unnamed sources close to government, they ran a false headline twice about Renward Wells resigning.
