NASSAU, BAHAMAS Environmentalists yesterday called on the government to “live up its transparency promise” in addressing their concerns about Bahamas Petroleum Company (BPC)’s exploratory oil well. Our Islands, Our Future, an environmental coalition, in a statement asked: “Why is it taking so long for details of Bahamas Petroleum Company’s oil drilling exercise to be released? “Our Islands, Our Future, on behalf of the concerned public, continues to press for answers.

AG defends housing initiative; says it is not discriminatory Attorney General Carl Bethel. Attorney General Carl Bethel yesterday defended the government’s decision to develop an upscale subdivision for young professionals, insisting that it is the right thing to do given The Bahamas’ changing demographics. “This is a targeted initiative designed to empower young Bahamians,” he said in the Senate. “What could possibly be objectionable about that? “But all we have heard from members opposite in the other place is nitpicking, criticism. I heard the most outrageous things.” Bethel added, “It is a paradigm shift that recognizes the demographic changes where more than 50 percent of the Bahamian population is under the age of 50. It reflects the fact that in the country the average age is becoming younger and younger.
