this government doesn’t make anything easy for us at all. I’m yet to receive survivor’s benefits from since 19 how long. what did my mom pay social security for? yall are ridiculous now 😒
This government is just a farce and governs by headlines. They are the most inept and corrupt set of individuals.
As Obsti sings, ‘all of self and none of thee’. They cannot run the country even with the record breaking revenues they boast of, and its obvious with the non-existent infrastructure and the face-lifts provided only during elections.
How much more can we take?????? Antiguans do we like the punishment?
Time to give them their walking tickets.
This is unbelievable. The government finds money to do all types of foolishness but can’t pay people the money owed to them. This is unfair to those who have done all they can and are not being rewarded as promised. It was such a pleasure going to every house to see the beautiful art and locally made creativity displayed by the homeowners. Some homeowners gave treats, snacks, drinks, and best wishes. I am looking forward to the Christmas Lighting Competition 2024, but first, I would love to see and hear that people have received their winnings.
Well folks, if we have a LOW grade Prime Minister that has always had a terrible record of paying people, whether it be for wages; pensions and overtime, then why is any Antiguan surprised at this development?
Get ready for the Gastonites and ABLP sycophants to defend this … innnn 3, innnn 2, innnn 1 Kabiffom 🔥
My daughter still awaiting scholarship funds from last august smfh
The PM will pay in pigs.
