Seems like WIOC is concerned about competition
The other entity should sell their product legally, anything short is that, they should be prosecuted, however I believe in fair competition. The consumer can benefit from competition
You saying wioc behaving like Gisele Isaac??? She vex with Anhony Smith because he DARE TO CHALLENGER HER FOR CHAIRMANship of UPP!
Competition improves everyone, so I fully support alternatives.
Really don’t know the genesis of this situation but it is clear that even in our fuel and energy sector, we need completion. Monopolies are bad for business and doesn’t benefit the consumers. We do not have far to look to see this. Years ago, a single telecommunication company dominate here in Antigua and Barbuda. Only the rich and elites could afford cellular phones as both the phones and the call charges were exorbitant and high. Enter competition and the price plunged way down. Antiguans and Barbudans have 3 separate companies at their disposal with each trying to out do the other. Today, even children have cellular phones and data services.
Government must lead the way of moving away from these monopolies and into a competitive based business environment for the benefit of everyone. Whoever is selling fuel need to get a license and have their business status regularized but the idea and concept of having other suppliers is s good one.
Real gangsters and mobsters at work and the funny thing is they’re been supported by the public. How is what these crooks are doing not being criticised as criminals?
Crime pays in Antigua.
Wha tupidness aryu a talk! Makeda own the Stanford land inside the airport and them throw she and the other black operators off Runway 10 to make a monopoly for a foreign investor.
Is it the fuel that is made locally by our own Antigua motor dealer from recycling.
From since them say are we own wiocthings get harder for us, oil more expensive under monopoly of the government, and me sure them ALP ministers a get them cut still why everything is over priced.
