  1. I hate when them crack head mess around the policemen that works at any casino they are peace makers go find the bad man police them chupz

  2. When the leaders don’t have vision the people perish. Antigua leaders speaks of getting rich,the politicians robbing this country without shame. Can you imagine the had them gall to publish a rental agreement between the PM son and his wife ministry.
    So no holistic development programs in place. You either make it academically or you cut side the road. In the no moral, none patriotic and everyone for themselves, no wonder we are now breeding a bunch of criminals. Car jacking, high Jacking the treasury; you , kool , Babo black sheep, accountant general and several directors and PS’s – half a dozen and 6 are the same.

  3. It’s time for a change before it’s too late. The PM has empowered the gangs rather than addressing the problems
    This is like Barbecue and his gangs in Haiti, attacking Police stations and burning them.

  4. Can someone remind me how long ago was Antigua’s Election. To me it feels like for ever. In that short period between election on now it has been all down hill and it is not because of the lack of amount of taxes , CIP funds , Chinese loans and Grants, European funds , Venezuela loans and Grants, CDB loans , Saudi loans and grants, global ports and I can go on and on. So with all that income why are we in such a poor state? Why can’t our people get proper health Care? Why are people dying because of no operating theater? Why are our roads in such poor state, why are we not getting any water potable water, why is it our education system in shambles ( Just tried to remember who is the minister of education? Why are our sporting facilities all in shambles- YASCO our only athletic facility don’t have seats, toilets and proper changing rooms.
    Then our Legal system is at its worst- crime is at an all time high. No police patrolling despite the increase in daring robberies.
    Several ministers or departments of ministers , some for More that 5 years have been working half day .
    Our contractors except a chosen few family members and close nit circle are the only ones getting paid from the treasury. World boss son is one such person.
    Agriculture is at an all time low. The minister of Agriculture must be a pilot or flight attendant. Absent from the ministry of agriculture. Use the excuse that foreign affairs ministry has him airborne.
    So let me tell you what is the root cause. It is not competence , is not fiscal imbalances. It is GREED , MORE GREED and THEn SOME ! By whom? The Top DOG and His COINET ….. Running Antigua into the ground for self enrichment!
