Cabinet receives update on distribution of discounted AC Units

7

The Cabinet invited the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health, Wellness and the Environment and the Director of the Department of Environment, to appear before the Cabinet to answer questions related to the Sustainable Islands Resource Fund (SIRF). 

The Fund recently purchased hundreds of air conditioners at a reduced cost for sale to low-income households.

The Director explained that those who have been identified as worthy of one of the AC units, will be given an invoice which the recipient must take to the bank, make a payment made into the SIRF board account, then return to the Department with a receipt of proof of payment.

The SIRF Fund will provide significant resources to Antigua and Barbuda in order for the government to repair or replace identified government-owned buildings.

The St. John’s Fire Station, for example, is likely to be replaced by a sturdier building that will serve the interest of the Fire Brigade much better than the current structure.

Other government buildings are to be examined and repairs made from the resources contributed by the SIRF fund. Top priority is to be given to clinics, schools, and social service institutions.

  1. “Identified as worthy”? What does that mean? Around here we know it’s usually when an ABLP minister approves. Hope that is not the case because it’s neither govt. Nor party money.

  2. Here comes the GOBBLEDEGOOK, GIBBERISH and GUFF from the government ‘talking-heads’. These people should be running comedy clubs in Tigua 🇦🇬.

    They’ll be telling us next that these AC units only come with a one month warranty/guarantee next.

    Bwoi, mi haffi laugh 😂 so till …

  3. Ahem
    ‘we selling you a cheap AC
    why don’t you buy 3?!
    Looking forward to your increased revenue to APUA & sales tax”

    Smoke n Mirrors!

  4. The air conditioners are probably Chinese rejects and have a shelf life of 6 months. I bought an ac on Amazon that was manufactured in China and instead of blowing cold it pumped out hot air.
    I avoid buying anything made in China, as their products are cheaply made and invariably they are not durable or safe. Actually, avoid anything Chinese even their food.
