Who gives tablets to school children to do work? All they will do is watch videos and play games which is what you do on a tablet. You can't exactly do real work. But I guess its all in the plan, distract the fooly, poor blacks and while they are watching videos on their tablets, the young Mansoor's will be aceing all the CXC's and getting all the scholarships. Our kids will fail and then go to work for the same Mansoors. Only problem, by that time the tablets would become obsolete and there will be no replacement xxxxe. But since this will all take place beyond 2014 who really cares? Just take the tablet feel good for the next 2 years, learn nothing and give the vote to who gave you

Arl of ah sudden Mansoor "tengle up" wid Digicel. How can the Telecommuniatio ns minister be so OPENLY BIASED towards one company and neglect the other companies? Who gave ManSORE so much "powa"
well, well,

**Coressa** » 2012-08-21 14:40

I see the equation: PM gives Mansoor what he wants for Digicel, Digicel rewards Mansoor by giving him 6000 tablets for the 'people', the people then reward the PM with an X and he wins the election. Can you see it? APUA 150 employees or 800+ employees does not quite add up to the 6000+ votes from the tablets.

**It Is Me** » 2012-08-14 20:09

Wah happen to Clarvis and APUA? APUA don't have money like Digicel money!!! They can't xxxx to Baldwin and Mansoor unless them have Digicel kinda money!!! Ah wah do dem!!!

**The Beetles** » 2012-08-13 21:42

I think your picture should feature Clarvis and Baldwin bowing to Mansoor!

**Timbolo** » 2012-08-13 21:40

Clarvis...face it...Mansoor more important that you! Put your tail between your legs and go lie down and shut up!

You can go sing back-up for Shortshirt! "When they have power...they don't give a damn about nobody"!

Mansoor is your Massa...Clarvis just hush your mouth and behave - or else the cheese stop flowing!

**Miego Man** » 2012-08-13 21:35

Mansoor for President! It's just a matter of time before we have a Miego Man Prime Minister!

**young analyst** » 2012-08-13 20:52

It is very evident that this government dont have a clue as to what they are really doing. Can you believe that the PM was a guess speaker at the very launch of the GATE program.He must remember that when he sow "foolish decisions is us Antiguans reaping out of our pocket.

**Jackie Spence** » 2012-08-13 20:13

Time you get some "balls" and lead your Company out on a strike! Baldwin must be made to chose publicly - between you and APUA or Mansour and DigiCel!

Barring that just continue to grumble under your breath in some dark bar over a rum and coke and a cigarette!!!

**STEVE** » 2012-08-13 19:44

All I will tell you is that you have to understand the electorate AT THE CONSTITUENCY LEVEL. The priorities are not always the same my dear. If Baldwin was to lose government but won his seat and retired, what would his pension be Tenman? If Baldwin was to lose his seat, what would his pension be Tenman? Do you think how people look at "jobs" is consistent through every community in this country? If some people are "getting supported financially" do you think they think the same way about "jobs"? Read the tea leaves my friend.

**Kyle Josiah** » 2012-08-13 18:22

I can see through this as clear as night and day -- Digicel will be giving the UPP the millions of dollars needed for campaign 2013/2014.

**Dig It** » 2012-08-13 12:06

Tenman, yes, the workers are always used as "bargaining tool" to the government! Sad that 150 workers at APUA is looking at "retrenchment," as they have no choice. They will have their "voice" be heard in two years! As for Clavis and the rest of the board and management, tell them to "tek dat!"

**Dig It** » 2012-08-13 11:49

How can the APUA Chairman bawl-out to the PM for help for iMobile, when he well knew it was in danger to Digicel, the moment Dr Mongoose became Minister of IT? Hmmm, they were "warned" about the "powers" of that the "unelected" politicians! Let me cry because they will be getting "stone" to wipe their tears, when their "role-and-posit ions" in government will be "diminished" to the lowest degree! Can't these so-called "smarty-pants" see that the PM doesn't call the "shots" in\around these islands? Amazing that they allowed "money-and-infl uence" to make decisions on the part of the people that have "no-say" in anything!

**GoodJobBob** » 2012-08-13 11:48

I guess that's what you should expect when dealing with the Antiguan government.

**Smoke n Mirrors** » 2012-08-13 10:57

In the photo, it almost looks like Clarvis is bowing to Baldwin. Very intersting...

**justin** » 2012-08-13 10:20

So a year from now - we all know where UPP campaign funds suddenly come from!

hi » 2012-08-13 10:16

I have been running, voting and supporting UPP all my life and this is what my Prime Minister is letting Dr Mansoor doing to us by giving Digicel all the rights. APUA-imobile is ours why the hell Baldwin Spencer making all this happening to us. Anytime My Prime Minister let Dr Mansoor push out APUAimobile my X and my family and friends X will go somewhere else next election. Cause Dr Mansoor and Digicel don't cared about us(Antiguans)

**JP Farnsworth** » 2012-08-13 09:59

say it right they are Imobile not I-mobile. Last to the gate slow to move. Typical government operation. The PM probably has not idea about this frequency stuff but the folks running Imobile should have known, but then again they are Immmm mobile.

**tenman** » 2012-08-13 09:58

DadliMan, yes you are right that campaign money is one major thing propelling decisions, but you forget the old jobs where there is no work, for votes

..

**upp** » 2012-08-13 09:40

All Dr Mansoor wants is to get rid of APUA so Digicel can take over and owned APUA... As long as dat happened Dr Mansoor and Digicel xxxxx will get bigger and government workers suffer more. Antigua is the only one in the Caribbean that owns a utility company. Antigua is the only in the Caribbean that owns a telecommunicati on company. And it belongs to the GOVERNMENT and Dr Mansoor is in the government..... So why he doing this to APUA.... Dr Mansoor know what APUA-imobile can do to beat Digicel in Antigua that's why he keeping APUA down

**Smoke n Mirrors** » 2012-08-13 09:14

It is clear who calls the shots in the UPP. . .while Antiguans sit by and allow the country to burn.

**DadliMan** » 2012-08-13 09:07

Campaign contributions, campaign contributions,......

This is the foundation upon which all government decisions are built. The male sore will not rest until APUA's last rites are read. Nothing less will satisfy this festering sore.

**Garrat.** » 2012-08-13 08:22

The Pm is just using his bouy Mansoor to make a fool of APUA and Sir Clavis.
Isn't it strange that now Digecell gets the frequency with Millions going to the Irish Company the PMs Band gets a Royal ''''Sponsership ?????? :oops:

**Dr. Dredd** » 2012-08-13 08:21

Why is Clarvis wasting time appealing to BS? The PM can do NOTHING but follow the orders of Mansoor.
When will the UPPities wake up and understand is the Ambassador on Newgate Street and Mansoor who run things.

**Maximus** » 2012-08-13 08:18

Bloggers. Remember Antiguans don't support Antigua, so why should the outsiders support Antigua?

**Razz Matazz** » 2012-08-13 08:13

One Mansoor is worth ten Clarvis! Put Mansoor over APUA then tell Clarvis "adiós"!

**tenman** » 2012-08-13 08:11

Quote:

Additionally, Caribarena has learned that approximately EC $4.5 million per annum is contributed to government services by iMobile.

Is this revenue or net profits? Due to APUA's unwillingness to release its audited financial statements the public has no real information on the body's financial health. I find it impossible to defend a company which prefers to operate in the dark, yet tell me I am a share holder. In addition, APUA workers must feel like hostages since they are always used as a bargaining tool in an attempt to get government to bend.

..

**Why** » 2012-08-13 07:58

I hope you all people can read and realized who help paying government workers. Mansoor need to stop...... Imobile belongs to the government so why Mansoor pushing Digicel to get everything. Mr Spencer need to know that Digicel can pack up and go anytime and any day but imobile will always here and help feed Antiguans.

**STEVE** » 2012-08-13 07:38

Seems to me like "the double agent at a.p.u.a." is at work again. Who bring news go carry news. Remember that. I hope that the double agent gets fired. That is my honest hope.
