Attorney General Sir Steadroy Benjamin has dismissed reports that the Browne Administration is considering granting sovereign status to the YIDA development.
Benjamin called the allegations “nonsense” and “ridiculous,” stating that YIDA remains fully subject to Antigua and Barbuda’s laws. “Every aspect of the activity is governed by the laws of the nation,” he said.
His comments follow a Real News report claiming unnamed sources alleged a plan for YIDA to operate as an exempt state with its own government, Parliament, and currency. The report also suggested the arrangement could affect OECS and CARICOM bodies, including the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union.
Benjamin rejected all claims, describing them as fabricated and without factual basis.

Would anybody be concern about what such character say?
First thing first? Yida has money to do anything? Why waste time talking about what will never happen.
Dato Tan – Asian Village… 🥱
Stanford – 🥱 🥱 jail
Yida – corruption, broke, corruption, failure, broke, corruption, 🥱 put on repeat until he’s dead…
A massive stroke long overdue.
Stop listening to buffoons a long time ago. I have long passed that stage
That Guyanese fool Adrian Willams. Need to be made persona non grata. I don’t care if u came here when u were 11 u are not and will never be Antiguan. You are just another foreigner who is trying to tell antiguans how to live. Are u sure the other child is yours. Stop reading things from real news as fact, you looking to be sued. Anyways why aren’t u flying. Or there is something else u should be telling us. I have your file, say hi to your wife for me, and say it nicely
Many thanks A lot of knowledge
as far as Antigua and Barbuda is concerned anyone who believes a word that comes out of this mans mouth is an absolute fool!
the man has no honour, no shame and no ethitics!
People needed clarity on this. Investment zones aren’t the same as sovereignty, and the misinformation was confusing the conversation
