The Peopleโs Republic of China continues to demonstrate its true benevolence towards Antigua and Barbuda by agreeing to extend its housing grant to construct more condominium housing units in the country.
Prime Minister Gaston Browne is reporting that the Chinese construction company engaged in the construction of the Booby Alley Project has concluded discussions with the government to provide additional condominium houses for low income families in the country.
โI wish to announce that we had a visit from the Chinese construction company and they are about to commence the second phase of the housing grant; the Booby Alley project now currently under construction comprises the first phase.
Now they will be constructing an additional 200 condominium units; 50 units will be constructed in Louie Hill in Barbuda and the other 150 units will be constructed in Jennings,โ PM Browne disclosed.
According to the prime minister the company will soon be carrying out preliminary studies such as soil testing over the coming months with the expectation that construction will start later in the year.
He said the site where the houses will be built has already been decided and the plan is to reserve some of the units to accommodate people living at Perry Bay in less than acceptable accommodations.
โWe have to clean up Perry Bay as the area is like a social disaster because of the absence of toilet and other essential facilities. We want to clean out that area and move some of the residents into the Jennings Project so that we can resolve the Perry Bay issue,โ he reported.
Meanwhile, the work on the construction of the condominium units at Booby Alley is progressing smoothly.

Keep thinking China giving things for free out of Charity. The same way they took over parts of Africa is the same thing they will do with the Caribbean since they know black people luv feh beg and tek things from their oppressors. Keep thinking these people have love for dark skin people smh
Election is around the corner.
So China agreed to an additional 200 condos?
At what cost?
What are the terms of this deal?
Who benefits?show me genuine paperwork.
Not genuine like the rush to find documents associated with Alfa Nero.
Where will those condos be located?
Lester we forget the present site has been surveyed and demarcated to cater for a fixed number.
When will Barbuda’s portion of the deal begin to take shape?
Although Alster is a spent shells why is the voters padding taking place in that constituency?
Forget about Barbuda! Gray’s Farm would be a better option. Let Trevor use his millions to take care of his ungrateful disciples!
There is no doubt greed in this world, but as a nation you must dabble in a few things sometimes, but if some think that China is for the good of Antiguan’s, is as unwise it can get for this administration.
The lesser of two evil is the road you should always take, and dealing with a dictator nation, is never a good road.
All you need to do, is just look at the “Forest city project” in Malaysia that these very Chinese built, and that’s just one such example of their ideology and their perceived dominance in this world.
Just do a little research, and you would clearly see their motive. Remember folks, in everything, there is a motive, because from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
This man just keeps conspiring with the wrong people, why is that?
Well well well. What a friend we have in China. But of course our politics will not have some show gratitude to the graciousness of the Chinese Government and People. The level of Charity is shown all over the world. Even our very own Petra Williams was able to go to China on an all expenses paid trip to personally witness their intend and goodness of their programs in assisting the less fortunate countries in the world. I wonder when the USA will sanction all those countries that accept the unconditional assistance from China. And note that China will never give us money. They will provide us with the infrastructural development that we need. And that is translated in either a Grant or a Loan. And the loans are at such favorable terms even better then that of the IMF. But the USA would have us believe that these loans are killing us and making us dependent to China. Well those IMF and World Bank Loan has also made us dependable to the USA. We have loans on our books that are more than 50 years old and we have not even reach the paying back of the principal. The interest is so high that we keep falling into arrears. And they have collected over the years in interest perhaps more then twice the amount of the principal. But that they do not address.
I always refer to the write-off of billions of dollars to Greece when they landed in bankruptcy and were bailed out by the European Union and the IMF. Why can’t they write-off the small debt these little Islands like Antigua and Barbuda have so that we can have some fiscal space and start focusing on our developmental projects? They prefer to keep us in bondage. And some of us, like I say, because of politics would take their sides and criticize all that the Chinese are doing for us. Well, lets be reminded what Papa Bird used to say, “Let them Build what they want, when they finish they cannot take it up and walk with it”. And that is the attitude I take with the Chinese. After they have build those condimeniums they cannot pick them up and walk with them. Antiguans are benefitting from a Hospital Build by Stanford Money, a Bank BOA now ECAB Build by Stanford Money, a Cricket Field and Restaurant Build by Stanford Money, a Basket Ball Court build by Stanford Money. And the list goes on. He didn’t walk with any of the things he build. Only Baldwin Spencer didn’t had the vison to let him build New Houses in Gray’s Farm as he wanted. Instead he told him he will deport him. That is when Stanford called him INEPT.
I thank God for our visionary leader that always does things that will benefit the people of this country. And the haters can say whatever they want. It will not change things. ABLP will be in there for a very long time. God Bless ABLP
@less we forget>only a well conditioned slave make such comments, but wait until it’s time for China to claim what’s owed to them lol Africa is a prime example. Keep playing with the devil and you will get what you deserve in the long run. I may not be around to see most of the results but the future generation will suffer. Black people never want to learn from our four fathers and the mistakes they made in Mama Africa when they embraced the devils who had no good intentions and sold their souls and their fellow Africans sistrens and bredrens for cheap material things.
We will show up above the 5.5 tremors. So these prefabs buildings had better be able to withstand our 8.0 and above tremors.
Why not allocate an area in the Rual West community fir temporary housing, whilst Perry Bay is being brought up to livable conditions. Why move them out of the constituency. You moved the residents of Booby Alley to spots in the constituency. Please give the residents of Perry Bay the same deal. Do not disenfranchise them of their voting rights
Who carry you to the dance has the right to dance all night Trump giving out Tarrifs like cards our Chinese friends are giving out love and homes America owes China 800 billion dollars in debt and they telling countries not to do business with China while they continue yo fo business with them bunch of hypocrites
The government needs to repossess the lands west of multi purpose and remove all those squatters. Sure most of them are illegal immigrants. So just like DCA went to Paraham and push down the building that were not given permission- do likewise. Lester Bird had great tourism ideas for that area .
Well said Less We Forget. The Haters will always be Haters may God Bless them ALL with educational sense.
