Prime Minister Gaston Browne has confirmed that the legal dispute between the government of Antigua and Barbuda<\/a><\/strong> and Bahamas Hot Mix<\/em> remains unresolved, with the matter still in arbitration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing Parliament, Browne clarified that the lawsuit does not involve the government of The Bahamas but rather Bahamas Hot Mix, the road construction firm contracted to carry out infrastructure works in Antigua. <\/p>

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

The company is seeking additional payments beyond the agreed contract, a claim the government is contesting.<\/p>

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

\u201cThe matter is still at arbitration, and we are actively fighting the additional monetary claims they have requested,\u201d Browne stated. \u201cWe remain hopeful that we will have a favorable outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bahamas Hot Mix was awarded contracts to improve Antigua and Barbuda<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s road network as part of a major infrastructure upgrade. However, disagreements emerged over the final cost of the project, with the company reportedly seeking additional compensation.<\/p>

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

The government has insisted that it has met its contractual obligations and argues that the extra claims are unjustified. The dispute was subsequently referred to arbitration, a process that continues to unfold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Opposition MPs pressed the Prime Minister for specifics on the financial exposure Antigua and Barbuda could face if the arbitration ruling favors Bahamas Hot Mix. <\/p>

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

However, Browne did not provide a figure, instead reaffirming that his administration is taking steps to protect taxpayers from unnecessary liabilities.<\/p>

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

\u201cWe are ensuring that any payments made are fair and justified,\u201d he said. \u201cOur goal is to defend the country\u2019s interests and prevent any undue financial burden on the state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The opposition has used the dispute to highlight concerns about government oversight in infrastructure projects, questioning whether stronger contract management could have prevented the current legal battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis arbitration raises serious concerns about how government contracts are handled,\u201d one opposition MP said. \u201cBetter oversight and transparency could have prevented this from escalating into a costly legal dispute.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The arbitration process is ongoing, and there is no clear timeline for resolution. The final ruling will determine whether the government must make additional payments or if the claims by Bahamas Hot Mix are dismissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, the case remains a matter of public interest, with stakeholders awaiting the outcome and its potential impact on the country\u2019s finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
