  2. This is all they good for. Spend tax payers money to go on trips, dress in suits and cross their legs and still bring back nothing for this nation. Yet the laborites are still grateful for the leftovers…. what a country

  4. From all accounts, the Hon. E P Chet Greene is one of the most hardworking foreign affairs ministers our country has ever had. Continue to advocate for the growth and development of Antigua and Barbuda whilst others aimlessly sit on the sidelines and bark…
