Walker Rejects Consultant’s ‘Pit Latrines’ Claim, Says Barbuda Received No Benefits From Project Linked to It
Barbuda MP Trevor Walker has pushed back sharply against a claim made by a consultant during a recent poverty-assessment consultation, saying it falsely suggested that pit latrines remain a problem on the island and may have been used to justify funding for a project that delivered nothing to Barbuda.
Walker told Parliament that he was present when the consultant referenced pit latrines as part of the assessment discussion. He said he immediately challenged the statement. “When the lady came… and she’s talking to us about pit latrines… I said, whoever told you that Barbuda have pit latrines and it’s a problem, then go back and tell them that they’re fresh and forward,” he said.
Walker questioned whether the claim was tied to efforts to secure funding for a solar-energy and water-system project that was expected to benefit both islands. He stressed that if Barbuda’s name was used as part of the justification, the island should have seen results. “Was this something said to access the funds? If that is the case… it should not have been directed to Barbuda,” he said.
Despite Barbuda having seven to eight churches that were eligible under the project’s criteria, Walker said not a single building received assistance. “Not one church… has accessed anything from this point. Not one system was built or repaired,” he told MPs, adding that the outcome raises concerns about fairness in how project resources were distributed.
He reiterated that his criticism was aimed at the consultant’s remarks, not the Department of Environment. “I’m not saying that the Department of Environment said it… I’m saying what the consultant said,” he said.
Walker said the narrative of pit latrines being a current issue in Barbuda is inaccurate and disrespectful, adding that any use of such claims to support project proposals must be addressed.

Walker is full of shit as usual.
If a consultant made such a statement which he believes was intended to help in funding; if he feels so badly about it why not mention the consulting company’s name?
Why ho to Parliament and complain about a matter that is so egregious but seems to hiding the names of the offending parties.
This almost sounds like the ghost story he previously presented in Parliament.
To quote Trevor Walker in addressing Barbudans:
“…and seem to be on a protracted path of
-GAMBLING
-IDLENESS
-SEXUAL PROMISCUITY
-DRUG ABUSE
-ALCOHOL ABUSE
-BADMINDED-NESS
-COVETUOUS-NESS
-SELFISHNESS
-UNPRODUCTIVITY. People don’t want to work
-DECEITFULNESS
-People badminded and just covet other people
-LACK OF RESPECT FOR OTHERS
-LACK OF RESPECT FOR THOSE IN AUTHORITY
Council say work til 4 o’clock or 5 o’clock. You warn go home 10 o’clock
-LAZINESS
-THE LOVE FOR MONEY
-GREEDINESS
And the last one which I find is the most profound for me:
-OUR TURNING AWAY FROM GODLY THINGS”.

Ras Smood…hail up! Jumbee_Picknee!
Jumbee_Picknee…Irie🌿
Ras Smood…Is a po, slop pail, tensil an indoor #outhouse, which Auntee Roachie, keep under her bed, as her porta potty, water closet, that doesn’t flush to use at night?
Jumbee_Picknee…Irie, maybe? 🌿
Ras Smood…you know, remember those days like today! Outhouses!
Well you know, a porta potty is just a fancy outhouse, and you’ll see these all over well developed, first world countries like America, Canada, Mexico. They’re on construction sites, at ALL OUTDOOR and even some INDOOR FESTIVALS, SHOWS, CHURCH REVIVALS!
Jumbee_Picknee…Irie, really? 🌿
Ras Smood…No shit #ghost! Shadow look, u you’ve being with me, since mom & pops, did the funky and nasty behind, the latrine/outhouse. You have traveled with me since; across several lands, Crisscrossing, roaming, pissing and pooping across America! And, we have seen thousands and used dozens, of portable toilets aka outhouses aka porta potty’s, Dons_Jons, and once kept clean, they’re very comfortable, airy and give you a chillaxing, smooth move!
Jumbee_ Picknee…Irie, shit man! 🌿
Ras Smood…Ghost, a well kept outhouse, in your backyard, under a tree, with no roof, plenty of limestone pellets and saw dust once in a while, a good book to read, shit these days IPhones, pen & pad, or just some zen music, a spliff of DE HARDEST HARD, Ghost, that the best time to take a smooth move!
I wish I lived in Barbuda. By the way, in my Condo, my indoor #outhouse has two skylights which open up to let in sunlight and fresh breeze, and also has vines trellising down like I’m in my Old TTime Outhouse, in Freetown Village, Antigua!
Outhouses aka portable toilets aka latrines are not the problem. Their maintenance is. They give up the best shit ever!
Jumbee_Picknee…Irie, no shit! 😆🌿
These people worry and talk about, the worthless shits!
BTW – Gaston, Max, Pringle, Harold, Maria Bronco, TREVOR WALKER … PORTABLE TOILETS aka OUTHOUSES, LATRINES comes with showers, face basin etc! These can be set up and well maintained at beaches for public use. You can even charge a fee to offset the cost of the maintenance. Now, because you’re finally recognizing the need for surveillance use them to monitor this important service AND make VANDALISM A SERIOUS CRIME!
Cut the crap! It ain’t rice pudding!

People here in Antigua still have “outside toilet” may not be in large numbers like the past but a few still have the original old school toilet…
Well, in a Antigua where running water is always an issue, what’s wrong with having an outhouse? It’s beats 💩💩 in the toilet indoors and cause flush it when your done.
Make outhouses great again!
So what if there are pit toilets still in Barbuda. Antigua till hab plenty ah dem too. Faithful National # 1 can testify to dat, we even hab dem in human form too
