Stop the excuses: Quinn-Williams says in maiden speech

You can now listen to Antigua News articles!

Reducing food prices, reducing the cost of construction, repealing business tax, passing on savings when the world oil price is low, and raising the minimum wage and salaries to a fair level to combat the cost of living were just a few of several options Quinn-Williams suggested dealing with the financial hardships of the people.

Quinn-Williams condemned the government for their constant excuses and finger-pointing when they fall short of their duties to the nation.

“When will this government take some accountability? It has now been 10 years, and they are still speaking as if they have just taken control from the previous administration. Stop the excuses about what you inherited. You got the job, now do the work,” Quinn-Williams challenged.

In concluding her speech, Quinn-Williams condemned PM Browne and the ministers for wrapping up their budget presentations in the Lower House without several ministers speaking and outlining how they would use these budget allocations within their respective ministries.

She said the people have a right to know how exactly these funds will be used.
