These comments by the unelected politician appointed to a well paid cabinet post plus the salary of other pm appointments , are commonly called "victim blaming".... it is all your fault, not ours, because you are not having enough unwanted children. Just so disgusting....how does he sleep at night?

This is so wrong, it is blaming the victims of the government's decades long mismanagement of the nib contributions. An employee works fifty or more years paying money in every month; properly managed and invested this amount contributed should be more than enough to fund the pension payments through retirement. It is not because of the reasons previously stated, also NIB is overstaffed and many of the staff are way overpaid. It was never going to be sustainable from it's inception.

The FNM proposed holding a referendum a couple of decades ago to amend our constitution to give women equal rights to those enjoyed by men. The PLP members of the HOA agreed to support this overdue amendment. When the referendum was held the PLP did not keep their agreement but campaigned against it' the were helped by Drexel Gomez in this effort to defeat the proposal. The defeat of the referendum led to the defeat of the FNM in the general election that was held soon after. For an unknown reason both of drexel gomez's sons were granted well paid cabinet positions in the new PLP administration. Lessons learnt; don't trust Anglican bishops and do not hold referendums. The ridiculous referendum on gambling held by the corruption smeared christie government was just the final nail in the coffin of Bahamian referendums. They will not happen again in the normal course of politics.

Wow, what a coincidence. This just happens to be the same constituency that the Tribune ownwe happens to be trying to get elected to.....

Let me spell it out for those who need it, Black Bahamians can be just as suspectable to the easy shortcut of racism as white, passing white, or slightly less black Bahamians, as can be white Bahamians, Now, man-up and let us all know which of these three you are. This assumes that you are not a Russian government troll, or Iranian, or Chinese, or.....whoever....

You assume too much, I assumed that only a black Bahamian would use such an outdated dog whistle phrase; did you not know that black people can be racist? Now I also wonder why you would consider calling a racist for comments a puerile act, but congratulations on getting a good education.

Well joeblown, this one wins the prize as the most overtly racist comment posted in recent history; " It took negroes 50 years to decimate this country socially, morally and economically!"
So sad that people like this live amongst us still.

RCL will fix the lighthouse in due course if their prospectus is to be believed. The obstacle in their way is a legal dispute with a Bahamian who seems to want to gain control himself. The last that was reported was that the "captain" was going to appeal to the Privy Council, I suspect such hyperbole probably belongs in the privy, the outside one......sigh

So if my mathematics is correct the government department recovered $14,000 or so per year while costing, we the taxpayer, about $420,000 per year, when unfunded government pensions, public holidays, vacation time, sick leave, and compassionate leave are included. Brilliant, great job compared to other government employees. sigh

I have no bigotry towards Christians, but thank you anyway. My only bigotry is reserved towards "Bigots", are one such? Do you attend a church but still eat pork and conch, maybe even lobster? Let me please answer my own question; of course you do, but you will still discern no problem in your outlook. OK. Good luck and God Bless you; because you're gonna need it if you are not, by chance, an AI bot responding......sigh.
