Comment of the week

INTERFERING IN BAHAMIAN BUSINESS

02/15/26 11:51 AM

People in The Bahamas lamented for years the fact that the Americans did not appoint and send an Ambassador to The Bahamas. That was so for almost 12 years. Last year that was resolved with the coming of the former football star Hershel Walker.

There is a saying: be careful what you wish for.  Mr. Walker comes with the most eminent qualification that any Ambassador can have, he has a direct line to his boss the President of the United States. So when he speaks you know that he is speaking for that man.

While the public servants were in charge here at the U S Embassy, you suspected they were simply mouthing what they were asked to say. Even though it was US policy it did not carry the sting of attachment to the very top.

These words do now.

So we should not be surprised when the interventions in the public policy of The Bahamas by the US Ambassador become more aggressive and active.

The National Security Minister says it’s not interference, he is merely speaking up for his country.

WAYNE MUNROE SAYS TO US PUT YOUR MONEY UP

02/15/26 11:45 AM

The Tribune reported the following story on 10 February 2026:

By LYNAIRE MUNNINGS


Tribune Staff Reporter


lmunnings@tribunemedia.net

NATIONAL Security Minister Wayne Munroe yesterday said he now expects the United States to back its words with action by helping The Bahamas secure financing for a new prison and virtual court complex.

His comment came after US Ambassador Herschel Walker publicly rebuked this country’s decision to borrow from China to fund a second New Providence hospital at terms the US considers unfavourable.

Mr Munroe framed Mr Walker’s remarks not as foreign interference but as a test of American intent.

 “I wouldn’t call it intervention,” Mr Munroe said, adding that the ambassador was speaking from the standpoint of US interests and had indicated that Washington wanted to do business with The Bahamas.

He highlighted the government’s plans for a virtual court campus and a new correctional facility to be built nearby, both of which already involve American firms.

He said the prison’s cell systems are being supplied by a US company, while the virtual court complex is also largely being constructed by an American firm, making US-backed financing a logical next step.

 “I’m encouraged by what he says,” said Munroe, “so I will expect that we will get a good response from American EXIM bank if we approach them for funding for the prison, because that is something else that we would be looking for funding for and I take him at his word that the US is prepared to assist us with that.”

CHINESE AMABSADOR REPSONDS TO US CLAIMS

CHINA pushed back on US criticism of its financing of the Nassau New Hospital on Friday, rejecting claims that the deal undermines The Bahamas’ interests and warning that cooperation between the two countries should not be subjected to outside interference.

In a statement issued by its embassy in New Providence, China said the hospital is a “livelihood project” requested by the Bahamian government and financed through a highly preferential loan designed to meet the country’s healthcare needs and improve the well-being of its people. The project, it said, was advanced through “friendly consultation and mutual respect” and aligns with The Bahamas’ national interests.

The response followed remarks by the United States ambassador to The Bahamas, Herschel Walker, who argued that the terms of the $195m Chinese financing for New Providence’s second hospital are not in the country’s best interests and urged the government to consider alternative funding options.

PRIME MINISTER AT U S AMBASSADOR’S PARTY

02/15/26 11:38 AM

The Super Bowl party is an American cultural tradition that has bled into Bahamian culture. The Prime Minister Philip Davis is an American Football fan. The new U. S. Ambassador Herschel Walker hosted a tailgate party at the Embassy for the Super Bowl and invited the Prime Minister to attend, which he did. We would have liked to have been a fly on the wall during that interaction.

FNM CANT TALK ABOUT SEBASS THEY APPROVED HIS APPOINTMENT

02/15/26 11:30 AM

The moment the names were called in the Bahamian press, accusing two Bahamian businessmen of somehow being connected with the nefarious Jeffery Epstein, the convicted pedophile in America, the FNM was at it. They were attacking the two Bahamian businessmen and saying that one of them should go because he is a public official serving the PLP.  The problem is the FNM can’t talk because they appointed the man in the first place.

MINNIS LEAVES THE FNM TO STAND AS AN INDEPENDENT

02/15/26 11:18 AM

Well it’s official. The former Prime Minister Hubert Minnis, who led the FNM to victory in the 2017 general election, and who was delisted by the FNM, now under the control of Michael Pintard, announced that he will run as an independent in the Killarney Constituency. He will be opposed by Senator Michaela Barnett Ellis and the PLP’s Robyn Lynes. In doing so, Mr. Minnis is all but out of the Free National Movement. Remarkable.  Michael Pintard did not take kindly to the announcement saying that Dr. Minnis was making a mistake. Former Ministers in his Cabinet Dionisio D’Aguillar and Peter Turnquest said that Dr. Minnis’ time was gone and he should move on.

WHAT ROLE DID MARVIN DAMES PLAY IN THE EPSTEIN FILES?

02/15/26 11:11 AM

Dionisio D’Aguillar appeared on the Shenique Miller Show on television to give advice to the Chairman of the PLP Fred Mitchell. He said Mr. Mitchell should stay out of the FNM’s business. The remark came because Mr. Mitchell said that a candidate who had libeled two Bahamian businessmen should be withdrawn by the FNM.  Mr. D’Aguillar said that Mr. Mitchell was irrelevant and no one listens to him. Interesting since the very statement contradicts what he is saying. If Mr. Mitchell is irrelevant then why is Mr. D’Aguillar talking about him on a TV show.  The point though is not about the FNM’s business. This is about whether or not a traitor to The Bahamas, someone who is disloyal to The Bahamas ends up in the House of Assembly. That is everyone’s business, not just the FNM’s.

MAILMAN BOWE DIES

02/15/26 10:40 AM

The Chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party issued the following statement:

On The Passing Of Felix “Mailman” Bowe 

For Immediate Release 

10 February 2026

We have learned with sadness  of the passing of Felix Bowe who was known affectionately as ” Mailman “. In the good old days he and  Lynden Pindling  were inseparable.  There was the troika  of Pindling  associates Mailman, Vincent ” Skeeter” Collins and Leslie Ryan.

With the death of Felix Bowe, they all belong to the ages. He is the last of the crew that helped to deliver victory  after  victory for Pindling  and the PLP.

We all remember  them together at the annual PLP conventions as we waited for the word  to come  down as to who was to be elected  as Chairman.

We will miss Felix Bowe. A warrior  has taken his rest.  Our condolences  to his family from our leader and Prime Minister and the entire PLP family. May he rest in peace.

ONLY ONE DUMB THING AND THAT’S DUANE SANDS OPPOSITION

02/15/26 10:15 AM

The following statement was issued by the Chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party:

For Immediate Release 

11 February 2026

Message to Dr Duane Sands: the only thing dumb about the building of a new hospital is your opposition to it.

You have a bloody nerve to so describe the investment in the health care of our people. We are not surprised though. 

As you have enriched yourself through your profession, you have simultaneously  opposed every measure that would help those who have no wealth to be able to get  health care at a reasonable  cost.

The hospital is bursting  at the seams.  When you were Minister of Health you failed us by a combination of ideological nonsense and bad planning. You did nothing to improve the situation. You were a failure.

In your personal conduct, you engaged in hijinks to entrap your political opponents and in the process of being a minister violated your own Covid rules to the point of losing your job. You opposed National Health Insurance.

Make no mistake, you Dr. Sands are in a major part the author of this destruction  in health  care in which we find ourselves today.

You are Dr. No. Your party is at it again: no to independence, no to National Insurance, no to the Royal Bahamas Defence Force and now no to a new hospital.

It is best  for you and your party on health  care to go quietly into that good night.

As for the PLP, we see what it costs for strokes, dementia, home care, physiotherapy, lupus, sickle cell, diabetes, and hypertension. We mean to fix these problems. There is nothing dumb about that.

DR. SANDS SAYS THE PLP CHAIR IS UNHINGED: MITCHELL REPLIES

02/15/26 10:10 AM

The following statement  was issued by the Progressive Liberal Party:

1 February 2026

It’s been brought to my attention that  Duane Sands  now calls me unhinged. This is his irrational response to my calling out his certifiable failures as Minister  of Health. If I didn’t know his antecedents as well as I do, I would tell him who is unhinged.

Look you jackass, this has nothing to  do with me and you personally. This is about  public  policy.

Did you fix the kitchen in the hospital and A and E when you were Minister? No you didn’t.  Did you sign off on the nurses industrial agreement when you were Minister? No you did not.

Did you build a new hospital? Did you complete National Health Insurance? No you did not.

Did you interfere in the Frank Smith case and were you condemned  by the courts?  Were you fired as Minister  of Health for violating  your own Covid rules? Yes you were.

Were you a failure as Minister of Health? Yes a complete failure.

Stick to the facts Duane Sands.
