Opposition MP Richard Lewis is urging the government to prioritize relief for struggling citizens. <\/p>

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

During the short-lived budget debate in parliament yesterday he underscored the financial strain on the average Antiguan and Barbudan, and called for reduced taxation, measures to counter inflation, and an expansion of social protection programs to aid vulnerable groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lewis criticized the government\u2019s reliance on increased taxation to bolster revenue, pointing to the strain it places on ordinary citizens. <\/p>

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

He noted that while the administration boasts record revenue collections, driven by higher import duties, sales taxes, and other levies, many people are struggling to afford basic necessities.<\/p>

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

\u201cRevenues have doubled since 2014, yet the people on the ground are not feeling the benefits,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cThe poor man needs a break. Instead of piling on more taxes, we need policies that provide relief.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He looked at the impact of increasing the Antigua and Barbuda Sales Tax (ABST) from 15% to 17%, which he said has disproportionately hurt low- and middle-income households. <\/p>

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

He also criticized new and increased taxes such as the environmental levy and work permit fees, which he argued are burdening small businesses and individuals alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lewis also addressed the rising cost of living, calling it one of the most pressing issues facing citizens. He pointed out that inflation rates have reached 5.6%, pushing basic goods and services out of reach for many.<\/p>

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

\u201cThe average person is shocked every time they go to the supermarket,\u201d Lewis remarked. \u201cThe prices are climbing higher and higher, and people are left wondering how they will make ends meet.\u201d<\/p>

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

He urged the government to implement more robust price control measures and strengthen the Consumer Affairs Division to monitor and prevent unjustified price hikes in supermarkets and other businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a bid to support the most vulnerable, Lewis proposed increasing the monthly benefit under the People\u2019s Benefit Program, which currently provides $215 to nearly 2,000 individuals with disabilities and other vulnerable groups. He suggested raising the amount to align with the minimum wage of $1,500 per month, arguing that this would provide a much-needed lifeline for struggling families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis program must go beyond token relief,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cWe need to give people a fighting chance to improve their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also called for expanded food assistance programs, such as school breakfast initiatives, and urged the government to ensure more frequent reductions in ABST during the holiday season to help ease the burden on families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lewis emphasized that social programs and relief measures must be funded through better accountability for government revenues. He questioned why the doubling of revenue collections has not translated into improved roads, healthcare, and social services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere is all this money going?\u201d Lewis asked. \u201cIf we are collecting more, then we must deliver more to the people. This is a matter of fairness and accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lewis concluded his remarks with a plea for the government to refocus its priorities. He argued that without meaningful interventions to alleviate the financial pressures on citizens, the gap between the rich and poor will continue to widen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe poor man needs a break,\u201d he said. \u201cThis budget must not just be about numbers; it must be about people. We must act now to provide relief and restore hope for those who feel left behind.\u201d<\/p>\n
