  1. … And also Mr Molwyn “AstraZeneca” Joseph, please inform the citizens of Antigua & Barbuda where every penny cent is being spent on medical equipment?

    We have the right to know as voters where and how the ECD $540,700 is being used and spent (especially with an election imminent) by the ABLP government.

    SIMPLE REALLY …

    Remember, “thank you”, 🇨🇳 nu buy half bit bread 🥪 boss – we watching you good, good … good!

  2. and how much of the island is being given away again this time with this?
    and what exactly are all the medical stuff needed are? always up to some and nobody can see or show proof of anything the money supposedly used for aside from buying trucks and other things for yall own personal gain

  3. I hope that will pay the nurses their overtime that has been owed since covid start. From the community to airport to serve our country and nobody seems to card to ensure we get our monies. That’s why we are leaving

    • Internationally, the standards of a country are ranked by medical care. Thank You RN. Thank You! Trust, you are worth much more than a handshake for a sparkly new watch.
      I have no fathom why, this government is not upraising you, lest going to different countries for personal healthcare. The treatment of healthcare workers in Antigua is reprehensible.
      Thank You Fed-up RN.

    • @fed up
      Well you behaving like he care. When you were being promised the moon and the stars during covid, did you not stop to realize that he is a stranger to the truth? I guess for some of us, we were once bitten and twice shy, so many of us did what we did, knowing that our rewards would be in heaven. Others of us were on the sidelines looking on during lockdown. These are the very ones who got promotions and who are now trying to look like they are doing too much now that the threat is gone.
      Time reveals most things and as day becomes night, there will be another pandemic.

  4. Donation my arse
    That’s money in lieu of something
    Soon we will know what, maybe some medical and stem cell licences
    I don’t know why we waste November 1 to celebrate being free cause china is our parent

    Molwyn will make sure his campaign gets a cut and when he loses, he will repossess whatever was bought

  5. Please, please Mr. Minister
    With the funds received:- PLEASE!!!
    1. Pay the nurses their monies
    2. Look into hiring more doctors to be on shifts and on-call at the hospital and clinics
    3. Do please acquire the important items and equipment needed to run our “State of the Art* hospital.
    a) plenty more beds
    b) proper equipments to input and retrieve patient data
    c) lab equipment so that working class people can go take tests at SLBMC if we can’t afford the private labs
    d) proper screening equipment
    e) possible incentives for nurses….give them motivation to work and be pleasant
    f) better free care for our young and elderly at the hospital

    O Lord, please, please, give Mr. Joseph a heart ……please, please Lord!!

  6. That is a part of the Chinese Colonization Deposit. I do hope they are not interfering into our upcoming Elections. For that would be hell to pay,just hope they are listening from Beijing.

  7. What a horrible decision. Making deals with the devil ends in eternal damnation.

    In God’s name Mr. Joseph what were you thinking accepting filthy blood money from a filthy communist dictatorship? Do you really think the evil empire of china has just provided humanitarian aid? China, a country that holds slaves and kills political dissidents just got all nicey nice?

    I would say shame on you but you have no morals or compunctions.

    What the hell is wrong with you?

  8. Such affiliation with one of the horrible and tyrannical countries in the world gives me cause to rethink our potential involvement with and investment in Antigua.

    Stunning, saddening and tragic

  9. Just hoping these monies are seen to be done.Than those monies for the Cemetery that were never seen.Mall-wyn,a way de cemetry money garne from the CIP?

  10. WARNING:
    WORD TO THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA:
    STAY OUT OF ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA POLITICAL AFFAIRS. KEEP YOUR CAMPAIGN FINANCES.
