Mmmm...did the Tribune check for details from people familiar with Dr. Brennen. It could be fake information on social media as well as there could be an issue.
Let's think for a moment, the PM appoints Mr. Wells as Mijister of Health. I can't say that this could be at the heart of why someone like Dr. Brennen may quit, but let us think for a moment the impact of putting someone in charge who may not know the field. If that person wants to make decisions and don't understand and don't listen, you have a serious problem. I can't say that is what's going on, but it's possible. I hope the Tribune one day can start getting into the business of journalism.
I agree with "ThisisOurs" that the reporter should have pressed for better clarity on the numbers to clearly understand "most" and "some". I'm a little annoyed that these articles are written as "he said" or "she said". Can we get the Tribune and the Nassau Guardian to actually ask questions to dig into the matter. This is basic journalism. These articles read like the reporter simply involved in dictation. A few sides say something and the reporter writes.
We need journalism with a spine and teeth. Does anyone edit anymore? I constantly see spelling and grammatical errors in articles both in the papers and online. Geezer people!
On the content of the article, clearly there are issues. Helena Keller can see and hear what's going on in the party. It appears that some folks are in the PM's inner circle and some are not. We can see for example there is rift between him and the DPM. If anyone recalls the matter of the increase granted to one union for their members by the PM which the DPM later came back in the media to say they could not pay the increase. Clearly a disconnect between the two and clearly the DPM felt a need to air out his disagreement in the media as opposed to behind closed doors in a meeting with the PM. We also see the Financial Secretary being extremely visible in the media. It doesn't appear that he answers to the Minister of Finance (DPM). Looks like he is a part of the PM's inner circle. There's a dictatorship running here that is growing. We, the people, need to speak up.
Ok Mr. Mitchell, please come off this soap box. Is this the same PLP that did nothing to move this country forward?
What did you or any minister in the PLP during their time in office do to improve thieves or the poor and working class. The FNM and PLP have both participated in the further destruction of this country. You can make your political points all you want, you sir are as much a part of the country's problem as anyone else you point a finger at.
I agree there should be a vote of no confidence in the PM. But to be fair, a lot of people don't have confidence in every one of you. Please resign as Chairman. Bring in someone who can actually.do the people's work.
October is in the middle of the slow season. We're dependent on tourist mostly from the US. Tourism can not go anywhere unless the US economy picks up and travellers" confidence is there.
If I say the world is square, does it make it so? Before making plans and spending taxpayer money, let us be sure where things stand first people.
We started with some vision with the kate Sir Lynden Pindking. Then we went down this dark road of visionless, incompetent, arrogant, petty leaders. We can't find someone with vision and we can't get someone who can at least manage. smh
Why is it so hard to find the right people to govern these little rocks in the Atlantic? These guys make the simplest things seem so complex. Please everybody in Parliament on both sides of the aisle, do the right thing and resign.

Mr. Turnquest can you and the de facto Minister (Mr. Johnson) figure out an economic plan for the country.
Hope you're not thinking of raising VAT. That's the only thing we've seen you do so far.
Can we appoint some donkeys to the Economic Reco CD rry Committee? I think we'll get the same results we're getting now.
