Here is a simple solution to all of New Providence Island's power supply problems. Find a realiable, non Bahamian, experienced firm that currently functions as a major power supplier elsewhere (there are hundreds available) and hand over all N.P. BEC operations pursuant to a contract that delivers the entire operation, lock stock and barrell, including debt assumption, for $1, in exchange for a contractual commitment to supply electric power at no higher than 75% of the rate BEC now charges, permitting maximum annual adjustments in that rate cap equal only to the rate of inflation. No "fuel charge" no nonsense. Only a rate per Kilowat hour, at 75% of current BEC charge. As part of the contract, agree to a constitutional amendment divorcing the Bahamian government from any and all regulatory control at any level over the new provider, including respecting hiring and firing decisions. Problem solved and such a deal could be done.

Lets see these large yachts charter for $30,000 to $50,000 a day. That is a tax of $4,200 to $7,000 a day. Mr. Halkitis cannot understand why such a tax burden might have a greater impact than a $50 landing fee? Really? Can he add? Can he think?

ACLU will sue on their behalf and recover $450,000 in damages per person and up to $1,000,000 in damages per family. It is Lotto in the States.

When will the country be rid of this clown?

A bigger nit wit was never born. Maybe there should be five classes of citizenship, one for every rainbow color.

Why should this windbag be made privy to the results of medical tests respecting the Members of Parliament. We can all hope he continues down this self destructive path. With each ignorant pronouncement he generates votes for the FNM in the upcoming election.

This it typlical Tribune "smear" headline. This fellow has nothing to do with Lyford Cay. His firm has an office in a building on Western Road called Lyford House. That is his only nexus to Lyford Cay, the name of an office building, yet headline reads "Lyford Cay Broker in $22 Million Bribery Scheme." This is not journalism it is slimy, disingenuous, propaganda. Your editors ought to be ashamed, and should print a retraction of this grossly misleading story.

Should we line up to reward the foxes in the chicken coop? The corruption was endemic. The averted eyes painfully obvious.

When will someone who has his ear let Mr. Moultrie know that his role is limited to being a parliamentarian functionary. No one cares for his views on anything. No one cares what political party he chooses to affiliate with. He is a gas bag who displays an embarrassingly undeserved sense of self importance.

Well said Mr. Wells. When will someone who has his ear let Mr. Moultrie know that his role is limited to being a parliamentarian functionary. No one cares for his views on anything. He is a gas bag who displays an embarrassingly fragile sense of self importance.
