Since being elected in 2014, the Gaston Browne Administration has raised the hopes and dreams of many Antiguans and Barbudans with the announcement of an extensive list of development projects.<\/p>

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

The <\/a>Gaston Browne-led Labour Party has also amassed the highest number of failed projects under any government in the history of Antigua and Barbuda, the Eastern Caribbean, and likely the world.<\/p>

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

In addition to dashing the hopes and dreams of long-term prosperity for many Antiguans and Barbudans, our country is now suffering from an unemployment and an underemployment crisis. There are simply too few good paying jobs to meet the needs of our people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaston Browne also refuses to provide meaningful updates or progress reports to our thousands of frustrated job-seekers. Instead, he keeps piling new promises on top of his massive pile of unfulfilled headline announcements.<\/p>

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

In light of the deepening unemployment crisis, the Prime Minister should come to the nation and explain the reasons for the apparent failure of dozens of major projects which were announced during budget presentations, and by senior ABLP officials over the past 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I further call on Gaston Browne to explain why his government is unable to provide timely and accurate employment data, in the year 2024.<\/p>

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

The last Labour Force Survey was released by the Statistics Division in 2018. Despite the Prime Minister’s boasts about “technological innovation” and “developing e-government”, data collection and dissemination under the Gaston Browne Administration remains woefully inadequate.<\/p>
