Shame on fnm & plp.
Ragged Island ppl must not let Govt get away with this.
Worse than Mayaguana airport situation.
My God, why do we Out Island ppl get treated like this????? 😭😭😭

I agree with Mrs Scott to a great extent.

But first, the Government should place a Bank of The Bahamas on every MAJOR island of the country. Long Island has NO functioning bank on the island, and the residents have been lobbying for a BOB for over five years.

Then the people will take them seriously and support the BOB instead of RBC, Scotiabank or CIBC etc.

This CID boss matter requires a Commission of Inquiry.

Anything short of that reeks of political cover up.

The public will judge the New Day government based on HOW this so-called investigation turns out.

Parliament reconvenes in mid September. The PLP government better have a report READY to lay on the table at the first sitting OR else the Opposition should call out the troops like Black Tuesday.

Well said ................. SLOP pawns have driven beautiful 242 over the proverbial cliff.

No doubt about it .............. the sky has fallen upon 242

Not only are the exams "watered down" compared to a generation ago ...... the national exams are MARKED on a curve to ensure that a certain percentage of students PASS each subject.

Do not think for once that these kids actually achieved a 61% on these external exams to get a "C" .......... It may have been 45% that the curve gave as a "C" grade.

There is much that the public does not know about these exam results.

There are far smaller countries than The Bahamas that win medals at the Olympics ........ That claim is fake news.

Grenada & St.Lucia put that claim to rest for good this year.

We didn't win any medals because our Governments have failed to either invest in the senior athletes OR provide sufficient incentives to want them to compete beyond just satisfying their private sponsor contracts.

The Government needs to pay more attention to the 20-30 year old athletes who do not get the big shoe contract in college. In most cases, the Government has done very little to brag about the private contracts that the privileged few super athletes get.

Not all athletes are either gifted or rich. Many struggle like hell to meet basic needs. These are the athletes that the Government needs to find and assist. But, politics is a bitch.

Better leave them blue pills alone ........

You sound just like those apologists for the New Day crew. Believe what you want. Be gullible & proud.

So, if Gardiner knew that he couldn't run or won't run, why give Bahamians false hope???? There were other younger athletes who could have benefited from the experience.

We don't fund his personal wealth but we pay taxes. And these trips cost many thousands of dollars. If he just got his Adidas contract renewed for millions, that's good for him. Now go and build a track in Moore's Island for his ppl. Give back to where he came from. Put some skin in the game.

These athletes are becoming as disingenuous as the pastors, politicians and police. Smt.

Decathlon is for superhumans ...... No doubt about it.

We praise those athletes who specialize in ONE event and achieve greatness. That is well and fine. But, those special athletes who go above and beyond like Ken (with very little Government or corporate sponsorship) and dedicate their athletic careers to a passion, must be recognized and given their due for representing this country with PRIDE and GRACE.

He deserves this national record in the decathlon to add to his record in the heptathlon. He will be remembered as one of the most unique (though underrated) athletes in The Bahamas.

God bless him for his patriotic service to country.
