Comment of the week
A NATION MOURNS ITS YOUNG BUT LEARNS NOTHING
There was an horrific plane crash in the pine barrens of North Andros on 10 July 2026. That was Independence Day. It was supposed to be a day of celebration for a nation that had earned its stripes in the world for 53 years. Instead it turned into questions of disbelief, and screams of pain and incredulity. A lot of questions about why and calls for recriminations for an accident that should not have happened.
In the aftermath of the crash, the officials got to work and began their investigations. Last week we joined the chorus of those with rational voices saying that we ought to await the outcome of the investigation and not jump to conclusions that may be in error.
That did to stop the speculation, however. The one that gets us is that somehow there is a curse on the nation because the killing of these young people took place on Independence Day. The lawyers call it the improbability of coincidence maybe. There is no curse on this nation. The accident has a rational explanation.
You may remember that after the first Pope John Paul died in 1978 within 33 days of his becoming Pope and head of the Roman Catholic Church. When there were expressions of disbelief at that time, one commentator reminded us that 70 year old men died every day. The Pope was not an exception, therefore.
The same can be said about the accident. Every day young people die: some by accident and misadventure, others by natural causes. This is not to soften the shock of it. The shock is the natural response.
We are not saying that we should not mourn and cry. It is human to do that. It is human to sympathize with the family and excoriate the perpetrators of the accident but here is what we keep saying. We could have seen this coming. Why did our systems take so long and why did we have to wait until ten people are dead before our regulators took action to prevent what happened?
Perhaps we are wrong but that seems a logical conclusion.
This should not happen again, and the real tribute to these dead young people will be if we learn the lessons of why the inattention to detail in The Bahamas should stop and these accidents are not repeated.

Editorial
----------THE SPECULATION ABOUT THE PLANE CRASH
The social media posts were filled with speculation about what caused the crash of the plane in which ten souls lost their lives flying to an Independence Day event in North Andros. The authorities have not determined a cause of the crash but an expensive re-creation was posted on YouTube and the finds are that for some reason the plane on its final turn to land lost its air speed below the required 70 knots to keep the plane in the air. If that turns out to be true as the radar data shows then they say there are only two probable causes: pilot error, flying a plane at full weight and pulling back the speed too much, or engine failure. We await the outcome but the talk around North Andros is that many pilots slow the speed of their aircraft deliberately to save on fuel and thus make more money when they fly people across the pond in their illegal taxi plane business. There is a call now for greater regulation of these services once again. Here is the summary of where we are with the accident investigation:
AAIA Investigation into July 10, 2026 Flamingo Air Crash Near San Andros

A MINISTER OF THE GOVERNMENT SPEAKS OUT ON BPL
There was a torrent of comments last week on line about the fact that Pia Glover Rolle, the Minister for the Public Service and MP for Golden Gates wrote a letter to the officials at BPL complaining about the lack of response to her constituents being without power for three days. She was obviously livid. The letter became public when shared by her constituents. That was immediately pounced upon by Opposition forces and social media and the legacy press to suggest that there is some cleavage within the PLP that is tearing the party apart. People should not read into this more than it is. This was simply an MP expressing frustration that all of us share about the apparent inability of BPL to service the needs of New Providence and what appears to be an insensitivity to the discomfort. By week’s end the Energy Minister JoBeth Coleby Davis indicated that she understood the suffering and has asked the officials at BPL to be more responsive and communicative. In addition, there is the issue of the company in charge of the grid repairs. They are not answerable it appears to anyone in a timely fashion and the public is now questioning their competence. Whatever the reason though, we hope that it is fixed and fixed quickly.
FRED MITCHELL ON THE WAY WE LIVE
The following is a transcript of a voice note sent to PLP supporters by the Chairman of the PLP Fred Mitchell on Friday 17 July 2026:
One of my pet peeves is garbage and the collection of garbage and the keeping of the environment clean. Another pet peeve is responding to inquiries by members of the public and constituents and anticipating the discomfort of the use of public utilities, and when there are difficulties responding sensitively to those difficulties. Another is to try to be as objective, as I can about myself. People should have objectivity about their needs desires and wants and try not to be so grabalicious, that you have no self-restraint, no governor on your wants and desires.
Pat Rahming, the musician, who appeared before me in 1993, when I was chairman of the Senate Select Committee On Culture, described culture as follows: “the way we live”. I think that says it best, and I say that in the context of asking all Bahamians from top to bottom today to look at the way we live.
In the main, it is a joyous, happy-go-lucky existence, but in some respects, that’s a show put on for tourists and in other respects, it’s real life. One American Ambassador criticized us during the time of the 9/11 crisis as having a systemic lack of appreciation for security concerns.
I remember attending a Chamber of Commerce function in Nassau once. They brought in experts on festivals and they said that you should keep the festival grounds clean. It is highly trafficked and you ought to hire people to pick up the garbage continuously during the festival and clean the bathrooms continuously.
Think about our festivals. Does that happen here? Nine times out of 10, you view the detritus of the good times sitting on the grounds uncollected for days after the festival is over. Part of the frustration with our banks, our utility companies, our emergency services is the lack of response and explanation and the ability to manage effectively when something goes wrong, as it will inevitably do.
As a people, we mourn today the dead in that plane crash, but the society doesn’t seem to have the ability to extrapolate from mishaps to ensure that it doesn’t happen again. It doesn’t happen perhaps because that is the way we live apparently.
It is also a knee jerk reaction to blame politicians. My analysis is that there’s something more at work here than blaming any class of people.
It is clear that whenever events happen, there are reasons, and if we respond rationally, and learn the lessons of how and why then we can change the way we live, Shakespeare says to us that it is not in the stars that we find ourselves in trouble but it is in ourselves.

TRIBUNE: SYSTEMIC REVIEW WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE
The Tribune has been unusually thoughtful of late with regard to several public policy issues. One is banking. The other is the call for a systemic review of the issues relating to the plane crash of 10 July 2026, not just the crash itself but the attendant need for reform and the search and rescue capability that we have or do not have. This came up because Robert Carron, the publisher of The Trib., disagreed with those who say that it would not have made a difference if there were an ambulance and search and rescue unit available in North Andros within quick time when the plane crash occurred on 10 July 2026. It occurred to us that we ought to explore whether Mr. Carron is correct. It also occurs to us that we might borrow from the training in South Africa of gunshot and road traffic victim treatment. One report says that they are able to save more than 40 per cent of the victims of these crashes, who ordinarily would have died. They were able to save them because of the emergency care that they provide in that country. Just a suggestion.
WAR BREAKS OUT AGAIN AND WE PAY THE PRICE
The Gulf Region, in particular the Straits of Hormuz, that were all peaceful and usable by the international community for thriving commerce have all been plunged once again unnecessarily into war. The United States attacked Iran they say to keep the Straits of Hurmuz open. The facts do not bear out that interpretation. The net result is that we who have nothing to do with this are paying the price in higher prices around the world and we are helpless to do or say anything about it.
CUBA HAS ITS SAY AT THE UNITED NATIONS
There was a general debate at the United Nations on a resolution sponsored by Cuba to air the issue of the blockade by the United States of their country. The United States accused them of starving their own people by mismanagement and political oppression. In a comprehensive response to the attack by the United Sates from the UN podium, the Foreign Minister of Cuba Bruno showed pictures of American ICE agents killing and locking up people including children in the United States. He said that none of that happens in Cuba.
LIFE IN LONG ISLAND
The Rowdy Boys road paving company in Long Island is locked and loaded to go. The airport construction is moving apace in Deadman’s Cay, Long Island. There is no need for anyone to complain about progress in Long Island. Chair of the PLP Fred Mitchell just finished a three day tour of the island with two public meetings and he assured the people of Long Island that their MP Andre Rollins is talking rubbish when he says that the PLP will stop what is being done in Long Island by the government because they voted for the FNM. The work continues.
Letters to the editor
Two Conversations, One Problem
ABAGAIL CARTWRIGHT’S DEAN’S BLUE HOLE
Last week, the Minister of Education confirmed that The Bahamas is facing a shortage of approximately 300 teachers in the public schools. He also announced that the Government is pursuing a Memorandum of Understanding with Ghana, along with recruitment efforts in other countries, to help fill critical vacancies. He later clarified that 300 is the total teacher shortage, not the number of teachers being recruited from Ghana.
Predictably, social media went into a tailspin. The conversation quickly shifted from unpaid teachers and salaries to Ghana’s education system, literacy rates and even whether Ghanaian teachers speak English. Some of the commentary was thoughtful. Much of it was embarrassing, inaccurate and plainly ignorant.
Here is what I know.
The Bahamas has consistently recruited teachers from abroad for generations. During my father’s era, teachers came from England and across the Caribbean to educate a growing nation. While attending high school in the Family Islands, I had only two Bahamian teachers at one point. The rest were from England, Guyana and Jamaica. My daughter had a similar experience throughout her school years. Foreign teachers are not new to our education system; they have long been part of its success, and they are a part of our educational history.
The real issue is simple: we do not have enough teachers, particularly in the Family Islands and in specialist areas such as special education, technology, the sciences, and vocational subjects. Our local institutions are simply not producing enough qualified graduates to meet the country’s needs.
Unfortunately, in The Bahamas, politics has a way of entering almost every national conversation, blurring the lines between sensible debate and partisan point-scoring. Instead of identifying the real problem and discussing practical solutions, we often allow political loyalties to merge separate issues into one emotional argument.
Because of this, much of the debate clung to unpaid teacher salaries and a myriad of other issues they claim the government has not addressed. The fact is that we are debating two different issues as though they are one. Teacher compensation is one issue. Teacher shortages are another.
Our teachers deserve to be paid fairly and on time. That should never be in question. But even if every teacher received a substantial salary increase tomorrow, The Bahamas would still face a teacher shortage.
Government has a duty to honour its commitments to teachers while also ensuring that every classroom has a qualified educator. Recruiting retired teachers, encouraging Bahamians back into the profession and seeking qualified teachers internationally are practical responses to a national problem.
Finally, while staffing matters, we should never lose sight of the foundation of education. Education begins in the home. Schools cannot replace involved parents. Teachers need families who reinforce discipline, respect, kindness and responsibility, attend parent-teacher conferences and partner with the classroom. When the home and the school work together, children thrive. No recruitment strategy can ever replace that.
