Barbuda Council Chairman Refutes Senator Knacyntar Charles’s Claims

Well Lord! I guess it was never expected to unfold the way it did, so in your defense, you came out and called her a liard! Sad, sad, sad.

@JCFJW, it sounds like you were at that meeting 😂

What is really Sad! Sad! Sad! Is that the Antigua and Barbuda community are so misinformed that everyone believes their entity side of the story.
That’s what happens when you have a weak media which is cut and paste: and memo lippy with no transparency in Government operations on both sides.

Irma and Maria hurricanes were in September 2017. After 8 years the Government of Antigua holds an implementation meeting in which it says: No reassessments are needed, and it is too expensive to do a reassessment.

First any assessment done after Irma and Maria in 2018 is woefully outdated. Most Barbudans have rebuilt their homes stronger and better with the help of USAID and Samaritan Purse.
Barbuda housing stock at the moment is far better than that of Antigua. The few shacks around Codrington are occupied by migrants.
What Barbuda needs is infrastructure and for APUA to provide permanent electricity hookup, to those who are on temporary power since Irma
The media does not cover those issues unless it’s brought to their attention wrapped up in a political wrapper. And the is SAD!

We are our own worst enemy. It appears that the Barbuda Council is bent on ensuring that Barbuda will continue to rely on handouts and the councillors will never cooperate with this administration to ensure that Barbuda becomes a thriving part of Antigua and Barbuda. We have been divided up and conquered. What an absolute tragedy.

I commend the Barbuda Council Chairman for voicing his side of the story and offering clarity on the claims made by Senator Charles. It’s crucial that we have leaders who are willing to speak up when necessary. That said, rather than simply refuting each other, it would be more productive to see both leaders collaborate on addressing the issues at hand. Public disagreements are common in politics, but the real measure of leadership is how they come together to resolve conflicts for the benefit of the people they serve.

Open dialogue and debate are essential for transparency and accountability in leadership. However, while it’s important to defend one’s position, I think the focus should be on finding common ground for the betterment of Barbuda. These back-and-forths can sometimes divert attention from pressing issues that need collaborative solutions. Hopefully, both parties can work together to create lasting positive change for the community.

@ Sharon Patriot Lycorish
WE… You are a migrant who has no clue of the history of slavery, colonialism and commonwealth history. it’s unfortunate for you are from a Caricom country.
As a migrant who has no knowledge of our history you need to keep a low profile when it comes to the differing positions between Antigua and Barbuda.
You have no evidence or facts other than what put forward by the cut and paste media and the politician propaganda.
Obviously you lack the ability to evaluate the merits of what is being put forward.

@Sharon the shoe not on your foot so you talk as you like. So you’re saying Barbudans are incapable of developing Barbuda by themselves? Somebody have to come buy the lands, build the houses, then sell them back to Barbudans Or build the house sell them to other people because Barbudans don’t have money
so that Barbuda can DEVELOP? Or build hotel and give Barbudans work so they can develop? I Just asking for those like me who are hard to understand.
Development is selling off lands, building housing projects and hotels ahh ok.
