Attorney General Says Time Has Come for Antigua and Barbuda to Become a Republic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Attorney General Sir Steadroy \u201cCutie\u201d Benjamin on Tuesday urged Antigua and Barbuda to begin formal discussions on becoming a republic, saying the country\u2019s long colonial history and level of development mean it is ready to complete its break from the British monarchy.<\/strong><\/p>

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

Speaking in Parliament, Benjamin argued that independence remains incomplete while Antigua and Barbuda continues to swear allegiance to a foreign monarch, and said the issue must now be confronted openly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe time has come for this country to look seriously at changing over status to become a republic,\u201d Benjamin told the House. \u201cWe should become a republic. That has to happen.\u201d<\/p>

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

He traced the country\u2019s political journey from colonial rule to independence, noting that Antigua and Barbuda spent centuries under British control before achieving independence in 1981. \u201cFor over 300 years, from the middle 17th century to 1967, we were a colony,\u201d he said, adding that associated statehood and independence were important milestones but not the final step.<\/p>

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

Benjamin questioned whether the region has become complacent about sovereignty, asking MPs, \u201cAre we in this region so unconcerned about our independence?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attorney general said the country has the legal expertise and institutional capacity to govern itself fully as a republic, pointing to the qualifications and experience within the Ministry of Legal Affairs. He rejected suggestions that Antigua and Barbuda is not ready to undertake such a transition.<\/p>

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

\u201cWe are not mature enough to do that?\u201d Benjamin asked rhetorically, before listing senior legal officials and staff with advanced qualifications as evidence that the country is prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He appealed directly to Prime Minister Gaston Browne to initiate discussions on the issue, urging national leadership to take action rather than delay. \u201cAt least invite the talk. Have discussions on those matters,\u201d Benjamin said.<\/p>

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

Benjamin said raising the issue publicly was part of his duty as attorney general. \u201cIt\u2019s my duty to let the people know it\u2019s time for us to consider becoming a republic,\u201d he said.<\/p>

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

He concluded by tying the push for republic status to wider constitutional reform, telling Parliament that the issue should be addressed alongside other long-standing constitutional questions. \u201cThe Constitution must be revised,\u201d Benjamin said.<\/p>\n
