Pumpkins planted in his BACKYARD. Yet the 🐍 has 26 ACRES of FARMing FOOL land with NATTA DAMN TING TO SHOW FOR IT. OLD STOVE, DIRTY PAMPERS, OLD FRIDGE AND RUBBISH among some HIGH GRADE WILD TAMBRAN. UPP Shadow Minister of Agriculture has got to do wayyyy better Dan dat!!!
Dimond estate is paying a board, with a chairman making thousands of tax payers money. Have a project manager R.J who is getting paid 8,000 plus transportation and cell . Then the production manager Maxime, recently retired director of agriculture getting over 5 thousand dollars. Then the guy that use to be CMC farmers Depot manager, now operation manager over 5,000.00. A full complement of staff paid for from the treasury. I am talking about office Administrator, and the full works, sales Clark you name it. Mechanic and Noah van to transport staff and a delivery van too with drivers. Tractors and backhoe bought by the government treasury and operators too paid from the treasury. They go to treasury every Friday to collect their payroll check. Search for yourself and you will see the subventions ADC/ Dimond Farm get annually. Look and see their input ; absolutely nothing. Allow to get input suppliers from CMC on credit and never pay. All the equipment including tractors , mini excavator and implements from Chinese project. Several green houses for free. Free water to irrigate the entire project from APUA 4 “ pipes to be precise. Free electricity and telephone from APUA. West Indies oil delivers fuel paid for by the treasury.
Now when they grow anything which is only during time of glut . They complete with the farmers. Worst yet what ever they sell they call it profit and not paid into the consolidated funds as should be by law.
Now all other farmers except him in high place have to foot their bill . Then struggle to get market. The local farmers are struggling, poor infrastructure, poor roads except him in high place. Climate change, drought everything is thrown at the other farmers including serpent. There are hundreds of Antiguans like serpent that got into agriculture and suffer great loss because of the poor support system( except him in high place). The last three ministers of agriculture are the worst three in the history of Antigua in this order . Nibbs Dean and Samantha same as their appointments
I am not a UPP supporter period. Don’t think Harold is a good leader. So I am just speaking the truth as I know it. I also believe Antiguan and Caribbean Politicians are a bunch of thieves and unless we have constitutional reforms the culture will continue.
