DEAR EDITOR:<\/p>

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

It appears that the present administration is only concerned with the \u201ccreative self enrichment\u201d of its members and supporters, except that there is nothing innovative or creative about the rampant rape of the natural resources of this state.<\/p>\n

We know that,\u00a0once you open up lands in Barbuda for sale to the public<\/strong>, you will open \u201cPandora\u2019s Box\u201d. Why? While the law may stipulate that sale will be to citizens of Antigua and Barbuda, there is nothing to stop private citizens from then selling the land to foreigners.<\/p>

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

So, you can imagine all the commission agents in and around this administration setting up themselves to front for non-nationals in the purchase of lands in Barbuda, once they receive their usual commission.<\/p>

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

In a relatively short time, our natural born citizens will be dispossessed. My dear people of Antigua & Barbuda, its time to fire the bunch of renegades and commission agents, masquerading as a government. Chase them baldheads out of the land once and for all.<\/p>\n
