Justice Winder is the problem.

No one need be accused of somehow making Moultrie look bad. Moultrie has proven time and time again that he's quite capable of making himself look bad in his own right without the slightest need for any assistance in doing so. Minnis is frankly being very cruel to Moultrie by allowing him to soldier on as speaker of the house notwithstanding all of the well-deserved severe criticism regarding his all too obvious incompetence and bias. Minnis should have long ago played the part of the merciful matador willing to put the forlorn and seriously wounded bull (Moultrie) out of his misery.

Contrary to all of the rubbish said about him in the above article, Calsey Johnson single handedly set back the development of radio and TV programming in the Bahamas by more than a decade. Calsey Johnson, Ed Bethel and Charles Carter were SLOP's favourite three stooges for injecting racism ad nauseum into the PLP's brand of dirty politics for well over two decades.

Couldn't agree more - well said.

> “Every other firm in Nassau, every partner in every one of those firms would have done what we did.”

No right-thinking partner in a professional accounting firm would ever make such a statement.

There are an awful lot of unanswered questions here, even after weeding through The Tribune reporter's waffling account of what may have transpired.

Minnis really needs to stop talking nonsense and also stop his very unbecoming constant duckin' and dodgin'. He should simply instruct his DPM (as Minister of Finance) to prepare and make available to the public a comprensive donations list showing appropriate details of all donations received to date, indicating whether they were received in cash or 'in-kind' assets, as well as all donations pledged but not yet received to date, once again distinguishing between donations to be received in cash as opposed to 'in-kind' assets.

Without such information, Minnis is able to spout out amounts that are not all-inclusive and therefore meaningless. For instance, many of us clearly remember the local newspapers reporting donations received and pledged from the U.S. government, the State of Florida, Red China, etc., etc. that together greatly exceed the $7,443,938.64 mentioned by Minnis. Where's all of that transparency Minnis promised we would get on Dorian=related donations???!!!

Right you are on all points made. Bishop Boyd and others like him need to take a very long and hard look at themselves the next time they look into a mirror. The clergy clearly have 'selective' empathy depending on the circumstances and the occasion. Thay also seem to have too little concern for the well-being of the 'true' Bahamians whom their churches look to for their own well-being, be it financial or otherwise.

> "I would have given the names of the five physicians that are posted throughout Abaco inclusive of the number of NGO posted physicians and the Department of Health physicians. There are five plus physicians providing health services in Abaco."

Sands needs to ask himself: Why was Burke Bryant, as a first responder, not armed with emergency contact details and other relevant information for all physicians in Abaco at the time he received the emergency call notifying him of the accident?

> "Certainly, I think we need to pay attention to the fact that speed kills. So, to have two vehicles involved in a head on collision at a high rate of speed that results in the death of two people in one car is certainly something that’s a horrible tragedy and a preventable tragedy.”

Surely Sands must appreciate that inordinate delay in the arrival of necessary emergency medical treatment also speedily kills. His remarks here seem very callous; almost as if he's quite content to accept that the accident victims had it coming to them because they were foolishly speeding. Sands comes across as the type of heart doctor I would not wish to have treating me if I were obese for fear that he might just give me second rate treatment for having allowed an obesity problem that he has diagnosed as having caused my heart problem. In other words, Sands might resolve himself to the fact that my actions (over-eating in my example) were a death wish and therefore I had it coming to me. Not the best attitude for a medical doctor!

'True' Bahamians should not be made to endure the piss poor judgment of this brain dead cabinet minister. The Bahamian people are paying a very dear price today for the transgression of the voters who cast their vote for Elsworth Johnson back in May 2017.

Our public healthcare system simply does not have the financial resources necessary to fund the high cost of important and vital medications for Bahamians and illegal Haitian aliens alike. And the U.N. Human Rights Council, Rights Bahamas and other similar organizations are not prepared or willing to pony up the financial resources needed to cover the enormous deficiency in available funds for such medications. That's the bottom line on this problem.
