United Progressive Party (UPP) candidate for All Saints West Harold Lovell says the government has had three terms to resolve key national issues such as water and roads but has failed to deliver, arguing that voters should now demand a change in leadership.<\/p>

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

Speaking on Observer Radio\u2019s Connecting with Dave Lester Payne<\/em>, Lovell criticised the administration led by Prime Minister Gaston Browne, saying longstanding problems remain unresolved despite repeated mandates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you give somebody a job to do, and they go through one term\u2026 they don\u2019t do it. They beg for a second term\u2026 they don\u2019t do it. They\u2019ve come back for a third term, and they still haven\u2019t done it,\u201d Lovell said, referring to the country\u2019s ongoing water issues.<\/p>

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

\u201cThere can be no excuses for that,\u201d he added, arguing that the government lacks a systematic plan to address major challenges.<\/p>

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

Lovell said the administration has been \u201clurching from really one crisis to another,\u201d pointing to water shortages, deteriorating roads and the rising cost of living as key concerns raised by residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On infrastructure, he criticised the government\u2019s road programme, saying there is no clear strategy guiding spending despite a 40 percent increase in vehicle licensing fees.<\/p>

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

\u201cYou don\u2019t have a road construction and maintenance plan\u2026 they\u2019re just spending money and not spending it in a wise way,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also questioned how contracts are awarded, alleging that decisions are driven by political influence rather than competence.<\/p>

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

\u201cContracts are not given out on the basis of competence\u2026 it\u2019s on the basis of who can get a blight from the minister,\u201d Lovell said, adding that pricing decisions are being handled by Cabinet rather than technical experts.<\/p>

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

Lovell said the result is poor-quality work, citing roads that have already begun to deteriorate shortly after completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is a waste of taxpayers\u2019 money,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also took aim at what he described as politically driven social support programmes, particularly the distribution of food vouchers, arguing that benefits are not allocated fairly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe way in which the vouchers are distributed\u2026 it is totally unfair,\u201d he said, claiming that only government ministers and candidates have access to them while opposition representatives do not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lovell argued that this creates dependency and political advantage, saying assistance should instead be based on clear criteria accessible to all citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt cannot be that I am a friend of the minister\u2026 and I get the benefit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More broadly, he accused the administration of relying on short-term measures timed around elections rather than implementing sustainable policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou have not seen any well-thought-out programmes that are going to extend over a period of time,\u201d Lovell said, pointing to temporary tax relief measures as examples of \u201csweeteners\u201d designed for electoral gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also raised concerns about transparency in government decision-making, including uncertainty surrounding road projects and negotiations with overseas contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t know exactly what happened\u2026 it\u2019s a secret,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lovell further questioned the government\u2019s handling of external pressures, including visa restrictions affecting Antiguans and Barbudans, saying the public has not been given clear explanations or a plan of action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy is this whole thing shrouded in secrecy?\u2026 what are they telling us as a people?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On economic pressures, he challenged claims that the government is cushioning rising fuel prices, arguing that the impact has not yet been felt and that such statements are misleading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just smoke and mirrors trying to fool people,\u201d Lovell said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead, Lovell said the UPP will campaign on what he described as an \u201cissues-driven\u201d platform focused on lowering the cost of living, improving infrastructure and restoring fairness in public services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhich administration is better able to address the needs of the people\u2026 in a way that is sustainable and fair?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that voters dissatisfied with current conditions should not stay home on election day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot voting cannot be a solution\u2026 let\u2019s make a change and at least give the United Progressive Party an opportunity,\u201d Lovell said.<\/p>\n
