Seeking to keep his Baha Mar "citizens" on his side, even as they sit home in uncertainty, Baha Mar CEO Sarkis Izmirlian said in his latest statement to the employees on Saturday that, in the event the parties negotiating a settlement to the Baha Mar dispute cannot reach a settlement, Baha Mar still hopes to secure recognition from the Bahamian Supreme Court for its Chapter 11 bankruptcy process.

Poor leadership and the Renward Wells affair
Poor leadership and the Renward Wells affair
The country has been waiting for weeks for leadership from the prime minister of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas on the Renward Wells affair. Thus far, however, our leader, Perry Christie, has chosen to dodge his responsibility. And yesterday his vague statement made the issue worse.
Wells is the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) member of Parliament for Bamboo Town, who serves as parliamentary secr...

Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) MPs Dion Smith (Nassau Village), Dr. Andre Rollins (Fort Charlotte) and Gregory Moss (Marco City) all committed the unpardonable sin when they openly expressed disagreement with several PLP initiatives in the House of Assembly during the 2014/2015 budget debate.

Change must come
Change must come
The late Archdeacon Willie Thompson pulled a number of us (then young priests) together and challenged us to begin preparing our people for an inevitable tax reform. That was some 25 years ago, when tax reform was defined as income tax. No other form of taxation was probably conceivable at the time.

When is a spy a spy, Dr. Nottage
When is a spy a spy, Dr. Nottage
So Minister of National Security Dr. Bernard Nottage claims the concerns about domestic spying are nonsense. The PLP's new intelligence unit, he says, is not eavesdropping on the Bahamian people. It is looking for criminals.
I wonder if Nottage understands the concept of a "threat to democracy". His response is the same one that dictators and tyrants have used for centuries to excuse infringing up...
