Dear EDITOR:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Is it that we are too focused on COVID now to bother with what is really happening around Antigua.<\/p>\n

I feel as if politics has played such a vital role in Antigua that we fail to look past what is more important.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The staff at the Antigua & Barbuda Transport Board have been crying out for so long and these cries have been going unnoticed by its Management, its Board and its Minister.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This week one of their own managers felt the wrath of\u00a0[REDACTED]<\/strong>\u00a0pure victimization towards [REDACTED<\/strong>], who not only because he doesn\u2019t sit on the same side of the fence with them, believes in giving his staff a fair chance. He was sent home because a General Manager who often times take the word of persons who does not respect him as a Manager.<\/p>\n

I am begging please for an investigation to take place into Transport Board. Too much corruption is taking place in this system.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

We have managers selling license, managers sexually harassing female staff who are afraid to report the matter, because unless you were appointed by the Minister you get little to no respect at all.<\/p>\n

When they are done with you they transfer them to the Government Motor pool, cause they look at the staff there as if they are nothing.<\/p>
