CABINET NOTES: The Cabinet members examined the progress made in addressing the spate of gun crimes and violence which the country suffered in July and August 2024.
That spike has certainly abated; the Cabinet is of the firm view that many of the steps taken thus far by the Gaston Browne administration have contributed significantly to the recorded successes.
The Cabinet applauded PM Browne for meeting with the gang members and arranging for the wayward boys and girls to return to school, to receive training in the trades, and to call a truce between the rival groups.
The display of leadership, the Cabinet recalled, makes clear the affirmation that “leadership matters.”
The Cabinet agreed that the establishment of a legislative framework, as reflected in the three main bills that the Parliament will adopt over the two days of deliberation, is necessary but not sufficient; the involvement of family and neighbors in upbringing, imbibing the lessons taught in school, and embracing the spiritual lessons taught by the church are all an integral part of the success of youth.
It was agreed that a holistic approach is required, and the Gaston Browne administration is prepared to take all the necessary steps to make Antigua and Barbuda an even more secure small island-state.
