Tonight on On the Record, Jerome Sawyer hosts a high-stakes political round robin featuring representatives from the PLP, FNM, and Coalition of Independents (COI) as they square off over the critical issues defining the road to the 2026 general election. Watch as the guests clash over the escalating cost of living and the bureaucratic "red tape" stifling local entrepreneurs, while presenting their parties' distinct plans to provide hope and employable skills to a disenfranchised youth population. The discussion turns heated over the fate of the Grand Lucayan redevelopment and the chronic infrastructure failures—including deteriorating roads and persistent flooding—that many Bahamians feel are only addressed when an election is near. From the potential value of natural resources to the urgent need for accountability in healthcare, this episode offers a spirited look at whether national leadership is truly grounded in the everyday priorities of the people.
