Really...."Espe cially in the last eight years"? Where were you the years prior to 2004....?
Common Cents I agree with you 100%, we spend so much time looking and thinking about red or blue that we lose sight of the big picture (this is what the current leaders and the ALP want)...They try to confuse us with rhetoric and most of us buy into their mudsliging and lack of vision.
Where are the strong men and women of good morality and who have the best interest of Antigua & Barbuda as a priority, I am begging you Please stand up and get involved for the sake of the present and future generations.

I'm not into mudslinging which party is better than which. But as long as we ONLY selectively remember the sins of one party, then it is our country that will be affected to OUR detriment. It's not a red or blue thing. It is an ALL OF US thing.

I am not surprised. This is all done because the persons in control like the idea of darkness (no transparency) A few months ago when in Saint Lucia the PM there had no problems stating their unemployment figures (21%), which he garnered from the statistics department.He then proceed to list the prescriptions for the high number. Yet in Antigua where we say things like we are leaders in ICT, the government claims it has no idea of important statistics

Right on the money. I think there needs to be a concerted drive by the government to get all the information digitized and stored, in EVERY government office that keeps any sort of records

Antiguans are strange people indeed! why the shock? Why the sudden indignation? We have sat back and watched, particularly over the past eight years, this tavesty unfold before our very eyes and said nothing, did nothing...and we have children!!! The uninterrupted flow of "Syrians", Chinese, Europeans and others acquire land with shameful ease in this 108 sq. mile island of ours. An independent, thorough and open audit must be conducted as a national priority and thieves and/or conspirators jailed. Remember the Mighty Arrow's caution: "Hold on to your property and will it to your children."

No surprises here Caribarena. If you think the the Land Division is bad try calling Immigration or labour department for some figures - any figures. And while you're at it just call any other government ministry to try and get data or statistics and the answer will be the same.
You see, all government data is recorded on paper in ruled hardcover notebooks. These notebooks are stored in cabinets and when these cabinets become full they are carted off to some archive never to see the light of day again. There is no way of compiling this information unless someone goes throught tens of notebooks and old paper files. There is no initiative to have this information digitized either unless the EU, OAS or UN compels us to do so.
The taxpayers would be shocked to know how much millions of dollars worth of information would be lost if there was a fire in any of these ministries.

Heck, the FSRC lost track of US$ 7 billion in a country with a GDP of US$ 1 billion.

At least the Lands Ministry has a vague idea where the land is, since they're still standing on it!
