Content: 2,621 words, three archival photographs

  Historical research by Politica has found that United Bermuda Party politicians kept secret a new ministerial code of conduct when it was first touted in the early 1970s. In 1972, the then UBP government refused to publish the new code of conduct because of fear that the Opposition PLP would make “political capital” out […]

After “Selling Bermuda”

May 6, 2014
By Ayo Johnson

So what’s next? Otitoju is alarmed that there does not appear to be any interest in an investigation into the Landow-Cannonier relationship. We share that sentiment. As far as we could determine, the governing One Bermuda Alliance party knew as much about Craig Cannonier’s contacts with Nathan Landow as the general public did through his […]
