Ministry of Housing & Works Disassociates from Antigua Today Article
15th May 2025 – Ministry of Housing & Works
The Ministry of Housing & Works wishes to formally disassociate itself from an article published by Antigua Today on 15th May 2025, titled “Public Works Director Fired.”
In collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, Investment, Civil Aviation and Transportation, the Ministry of Housing & Works responded to a request from the Antigua and Barbuda Airport Authority for a qualified engineer to assist with the implementation of the Airport Runway Rehabilitation Project.
The Ministry recognizes the national significance of this project and the critical need for high level technical support throughout its implementation.
This effort requires close coordination between local engineering expertise and the external contractors selected to execute the project, safeguarding national interest.
Mr. Aldin Crump, a qualified engineer with over 44 years of experience, was selected to support this initiative and is tasked with ensuring the Government of Antigua and Barbuda successfully completes the project in accordance with all technical requirements.
The Ministry remains focused on its mandate to improve road conditions and deliver sustainable infrastructure solutions. We encourage the public to follow our official pages for verified updates on ongoing projects and developments.
Mr. Aldin Crump remains a respected civil servant, employed by the Government of Antigua and Barbuda.

The Alfa Nero issue, amongst numerous others, have discredited the ALP and its lying department managed by Red Max. I guarantee that the original report is correct but they have to now backtrack because of public comments.
Bullshit they just saying that cover up the fact they cannot really fire a government worker only transfer
Totally fedup with the lies, mis-information and dis-information that has become routine in Antigua and Barbuda.
Where u get dat info dat a government worker can’t be fired
Ok. Ok. Om. Ok.
So Crump has not been fired……
Very nice……..
His expertise is needed elsewhere……
At the airpot……
As what………
What is his new job title…….
For how long…….
Will the airport work run him beyond his retirement…………
In the mean time who is the Director of Public Works????????
If Crump was deemed incompetent to deal with the road network inland how is the airport entrusted to his supervision?????????
Something doesn’t smell right………
Last week we were told that there is no start date for the airport works…….
You mean all along there was no local engineer to work along and oversee what was happening??????
Did it have to take a few showers to make cabinet aware that no local engineer was on the airport resurfacing work??????
Short Shirt sang,
“Prime Minister tell the nation the truth
Tell the nation the truth right now.
You don’t have to swallow a Bible.
Just tell the nation the truth”………..
wow! You see why you can’t listen to the RAG TAG Clown???? Love to tek mellay and run with it!

As long as we have a government system that prevent any public servant to be fired for non-performance they will continue to give substandard service. Why not send him on early retirement like you did with Mr. Martin at APUA. The IMF playbook is clear. Retrench the public servant by 40%. They will provide the loan for this. Just like what they did for Barbados. You have to bite the bullet at one point and deal with the over bloated system once and for all. It makes no sense kicking the can down the road. Which government will have the political balls to do so? There is no other way. Trump was elected and the first thing he did was instructed Elon Musk to cut the fat in the system. This is nothing more and nothing less than an IMF program that the USA is in. Right Sizing is another term that is used. But they all mean the same.
The private sector is dealing with this as well. Especially in the restaurant industry. They are keeping the payroll low and waiters and waitresses will have to double up to serve customers. I travelled lately to a far away country and was engaging with the waitress and waitresses about their pay. And they told me they only get paid commission of the day. No fixed salary. Therefore they have skin in the game to ensure customers come into he restgaurant and that they are served satisfactory. Here in Antigua the waitress.waitressses do not have skin in the game. Their pay just depend on showing up to work. And whether or not they provide good service is another thing. Now I don’t want to suggest we go to that extreme but we need to ensure that the worker have some skin in the game to ensure the business does well. Why is it they demand severance? The system of awarding and rewarding workers need to change to the benefit of both Employee and Employers.
So the ministry of works tried to do damage control and damaged themselves?
Given the legacy, imagine a 737 Max getting stuck in a pot hole.
As the Opposition Chatterboxes continue to belch/fart out their foul gases, do understand that Crazy Pompey or no Crazy Pompey, the country continue to operate on even keel and ” as the dogs bark, the wagon rolls on”.
In the meantime, Mr Crump, just wipe that cocky look off your face! You are NOT indispensable!! Hahaha
Hurry fix the roads please my front end parts are crying, my mechanic said the ball joints are basically on life support , the control arm are fighting but still good the inner and out ends soon dead. please fix them roads the parts them expensive.
Faithful National #1 as usual…
Faithful National you are clearly an ABLP operative. Read what Im reading. Unless I am retarded. The man was not dismissed from the public service but dismissed as director. The reporter was correct when she said the press release failed to say whether he remains as director. Yall think people stupid I might not be a reporter or a journalist but I ain’t no retard. The man was moved, removed, dismissed, fired as director. SAME THING!!!!
This man can’t have 44 years of experience and the roads in antigua is like this ,he should be fired.
This is a mess. We don’t care about all the wonderful details. We need to know if the man is director or not. We dont want to know where he was moved to or which project they invented for him. Is he director or not? Simple question.
Hmmmmm let me think
@RAWLSTON POMPEY…
Ah wah Archie do…
…last Carnival, he had a wonderful time!

@Less We Forget, please be reminded, if and when any Ruling Arm, of the Government decides to reduce the Public Sector by this forty percent, as recommended by their HANDLERS in, of the Financial systems, they’ll be committing #Political_Suicide without the Antifreeze; because, the economy would be overheating and erupt like a volcano.
They don’t have the balls. However, if and when anyone find the will, the proper regulation(s) of the IMMIGRATION SYSTEM is a must.
