The Cabinet will discuss the proposal to make CARICOM Day a public holiday in Antigua and Barbuda during their meeting.
CARICOM member states have been urged to consider July 4th as a holiday to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the regional integration movement.
St Kitts and Nevis and Grenada have already declared it a public holiday.
Prime Minister Gaston Browne has reservations about the request due to the abundance of existing public holidays and concerns about productivity.
He will bring the matter for further discussion but is not optimistic about adding another holiday.
Dominica’s Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, shares similar reservations.

The USA has been celebrating their 1st Independence since July 4,1777.CARICOM DAY IS CELEBRATED THE FIRST MONDAY IN JULY.
The “united states” is a septic tank that contains fentanyl, tranq, amorality, satan worship, the most corrupt government in the western hemisphere and militant “alphabet” people that groom small children for filthy sex acts.
Best A&B run screaming from “american” holidays.
It should be a holiday if mandated by CARICOM our supranational organization. Our leaders should have more respect for our organizations.
StupidNess. Why do we need this to be a holiday? We have too many public holidays and not enough productivity.
You are just echoing the words of Gaston Browne. Total damn nonsense.
