Opposition MP Richard Lewis says this year’s Throne Speech offered little beyond the usual government overview and that the real scrutiny will begin when the national budget is presented in December.
Reacting shortly after the Governor General delivered the address, Lewis said the speech largely repeated what the public has come to expect and focused heavily on the government’s preferred time periods.
He noted that while the speech highlighted developments since 2020, it did not adequately reflect the contributions made between 2004 and 2014, which he described as “significant achievements… that contributed to the development of Antigua and Barbuda.”
Lewis said he does not place much weight on the Throne Speech itself, stressing that the upcoming budget will be the true measure of the government’s priorities in the year ahead.
He made his position clear: he is “looking forward to [the] budget presentation so we can have a discussion on that.”
The MP added that the budget debate will allow for more substantive examination of issues such as lingering water shortages, the government’s approach to closing the wealth gap, and ongoing concerns relating to roads and education infrastructure—matters he said require clear answers and concrete plans.

UPP bring back Malaka to CUT RICHARD THROAT. Mek he gwarn smile.
Where is the LEADER, Mr. Pringle??? Why interview his NEMESIS? The DEPUTY was present in Pringle’s absence, but are you PURPOSELY choose to interview his rival.
In the meantime, whilst Prime Minister Gaston Browne is denying Antiguans of transparency over the vehicle acquisitions procurement scandal, yet his diabolical and unhinged acolytes are losing their minds over the re-entry of Malaka Parker, Jamal Pringle, Richard Lewis and Harold Lovell.
Antigua & Barbuda is in the middle of a lack of financial transparency crisis government, and here you have the ABLP neanderthals focusing on the comings and goings of the UPP!!!
AMAZING …
The real test will be the BUDGET DEBATE because the opposition MPs CAN’T CALL FIGURES. They inherited this problem from Baldwin Spencer aka COOKS POND WATER
And voila!! Like clockwork Richard the clown 🤡 makes an appearance that is easy and convenient. Where was Richard Lewis during the picket and motorcade??? He could’ve been there to help build up the piss poor turnout. He didn’t rally the troops from Grays Farm to support his party.
This man is as SELFISH, POMPOUS, BADMINDED, SELF-CENTERED and UNCARING as they come.
Thank God the people selected a real CARING, GRASSROOTS, HUMBLE Leader in the person of Pringle.
Richard refuses to support party activities, but look how quickly he tried to usurp the Leader and Deputy Leader
You mean the same fraudulent budget they keep spitting out year after year, where the math is never mathing?
The same budget that they came out with, and months later they are raising ABST and asking the citizens for money to fix the many delapidated roads in Antigua.?
The same budget where millions in Vehicles were absconded from the peoples purse?
The same budget that payed for the defense of the Alpha Nero, where all now we don’t even know where the millions went?
Every budget this Government have put forth in the last 11 years in office have been a scam, a Ponzi Scheme that’s set up for the rich players.
Because where is the money? Antigua shouldn’t look the way it looks if the massive amount of money that was supposed to taken in by the Treasury was spent on the island and the people!
So, the fridge economy continues under this looting Government. It’s not for the regular man, it’s built for all the tiefing players.
Fraud fraud fraud. So yes Mr Lewis, the challenge will be the budget, because people from all political divide are finally paying attention what I’ve been saying for years.
All will be revealed,, all!
