Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis yesterday pledged to take “politics out the public service” and warned his Cabinet and parliamentary colleagues that their job is to shape policy and not politically micro-manage their respective ministries and departments. During the orientation of parliamentarians at the Grand Hyatt, Baha Mar, Minnis said employees will no longer be victimized in the public service because of their political beliefs.

Court case adjourned due to heat
August 13, 2017
Unbearable conditions in the magistrates’ courts forced the adjournment of the trial of a Royal Bahamas Defence Force marine. Assistant Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain told Doswell Coakley that his gun, ammunition and counterfeit possession trial could not proceed due to the “inhumane conditions” in the court. The air conditioner in the South Street Magistrates’ Court Complex has not been working for several weeks, forcing courts to adjourn early.
