Crazy
And some people say this gaston browne labour government is serious? Really?
These labour party jokers could not do any better than to appoint a 73 year old fart to be the Chairman of the Board for the Medical Benefit Scheme?
What about all the talk about empowering young people?
Just another example of how the majority of the people in Antigua are fooled by these labour party jokers.
Aren’t there no other person with a MBA or MPA or JD that could get this position and the pay coming with it since Lionel max Hurst already have a good paying job?
Do you guys honestly have no conscience? There are no limits? If he is getting paid for this too, you guys are outright evil.
Nobody else deserves a chance?
Money go wey money day!!!!!…oh Lord have little mercy and pay overtime and backpay. Poor people waiting 2years 6years oh lord man murder all you ablp finance minister wicked, heartless, with no compasión.
This is an absolute conflict of interest and an affront to democracy. The government is showing that they can and will do anything they want no matter how ludicrous the optics are and the eventual fallout for citizens. No government minister or official should sit on the Medical Benefits or Social Security Boards.
Bet you if the board members protest, it won’t happen
But they not protesting cause the money sweet, yet the hospital has no supplies and the clinics with internal pharmacies (Allsaints Johnson Point Graysfarm) look like clinics in the Gaza & Clarehall clinic is PERMANENTLY closed
We talk talk talk and say the most, but when it comes to taking a stand, ebrybady keep their head down
In other Caribbean countries, tools would be downed and nobaddy would be called LAZY/DONT WAN WOK but those who are in power
A lot of people voted for this government. No jobs for younger people, just for their old farts. How many pay cheques is he receiving. Just take in your nennen and stop complaining.
Yep @ Money,
Antiguans are now reaping what they sowed last year from the General Election.
The sad thing is, many were warned and yet still voted for more of the same ABLP nonsense.
There we Go again. Another Big Pay Check to the Bank with Social Security money while Getting paid for Talking DoDo about Report and at the same Time Me and others are Bawling Bawling for not getting our SOCIAL SECURITY BENIFITS which is Due.Lord Save us from This Wicked Regime..Their Pocket and Belly Full but they still Thieving.Help! Help! Lord.
You get what u voted for .I have no Mercy for antigua or its people .what u buy is what u wear
Can’t really disagree with you @ Dale …
@ F*ckery
I have no problems with what you say. I hear your frustration and feel your pain. I just want to add another perspective.
In deeply corrupt societies where the corruption is stiflingly it is the institutions who take a stand against corruption.
Not even the individual victims of corruption will attempt protesting corruption.
That’s why we author our thoughts under fake names. Think about it.
The institutions are the ones to blame.
An example is the Ecumenical Group who allows its members to go to Cabinet week in week out to pray over a proceeding called Cabinet meeting at which they pass laws to rob the Country.
Example of which is the Cancer center
No individual in their right mind will get up and protest. But if the Bar Association did as a body it will begin to change.
In Antigua and Barbuda The Bar Association as a professional body as well as its individual members benefit from the corruption.
The institutions are fully aware of what’s going on.
But like the Ecumenicals and other The Business Organizations and institutions; they are feeding at the corruption trough.
@Countryman Abroad…
We call such behaviour(s), by these criminal organizations those such as the ecumenical, and the subsidiaries of #hyram_abiff love the Organised Chaos which they have being using for centuries to indoctrinate and control HUEmanity.
Their mantra “out of chaos comes order,” is not by mistake, it’s by design.
The same ones #who’re responsible for the policies which creates, funds and manages the Chaos are the same ones #who’re responsible for policies to mitigate, the Chaos which they caused initially.
CRIME PAYS EACH & EVERY DAY!
The church aka the ecumenical order(s) or Religious #Brand_Names, and the State controlled by the legal profession are one and the same, as in partners in crime(Bonnie_N_Clyde Style).
I’ll use this example: the Catholic Church have already been found GUILTY in many Courts for their attrocities, in particular, as it pertains to SODOMY, and have paid hundreds of millions to the victims, yet, even though this precedent has being set in the Courts, our Quasi Independent Caribbean Nations talking about REPARATIONS is wasting time trying to reinvent the wheel in the Courts rather than using this precedent. Go figure!
These young people committing these street level petty crimes, some of which have now escalated to more serious offences are mere PAWNS/FOOT SOLDIERS in the well ORGANISED and ENTRENCHED CRIME SYNDICATES controlling the Caribbean Seas.

All about money, money, money why is people so greedy? Craving for material things at the cost of others. Poor people is the back bone of this country, government ministers continue to get rich off of poor people blood sweat and tears. But poor people are to be blamed, they are weak, licky licky, foolish, ignorant, coward and stupid just put a dollar in their hands and they will give you their life. What can young people learn from them? They cannot even fight for their rights, just sit down and take you all lashing from black Masa. The day you all realize that Antigua and Barbuda need a revolution is the day things will start to change. Stop worry about color red or blue and fight for this nation your children and your children children future. Get some back bone.
@Countryman Abroad, you are 100% correct. I know several people who have been robbed by the very attorneys who were paid very well to fight for them. One friend instead of getting what was owed from the sale of properties, got little to nothing given to in small amounts. Checks written from several banks to include the Global bank now facings serious problems. No trust was set up for money received on their behalf. Most of the white collar criminals grew up together, went to the same schools and have each other backs. A person may have mountains of proof of criminal fraud but no funds to fight back. And if that person happens to die without any family to fight for what was theirs, the lawyers simply keep that person’s money. Can’t go to the higher ups cause they are part of the fraud. Let’s not forget the highly paid staff in their offices who say nothing and sit back and watch the client get abused, robbed. We can add accountants to that group of crafty thiefs. I trust no one in Antigua.
