You can now listen to Antigua News articles!
Lionel Max Hurst, Chief of Staff in the Office of the Prime Minister, expressed concerns over the Ryan Group of Companies’ decision to lock out the government from a rented building due to unpaid rent.
Hurst described the action as “harsh,” highlighting the ongoing dispute between the two parties.
The Ryan Group has claimed that the government owes them over $8 million in back rent.
However, Hurst challenged this figure, suggesting it may be exaggerated. He also pointed out that the Ryan Group itself has outstanding taxes owed to the government, introducing a complex dynamic to the situation.
Adding to the discussion, Hurst noted that the owner of the Ryan Group, Ryan, is not known to be experiencing financial difficulties, which raises questions about the harshness of the lockout decision.
How so?
Lol hahaha hahaha. 8 million dollars owed! Wow we should tell that to APUA!
Help me understand please. Ryan group has a credit of 8 million and that’s why it is considered “ harsh ”? What kind of world do we live in?
Government must owe everybody
If the government don’t pay them how can they their taxes….
Lionel Hurst… seriously?, may I suggest you are having another ” senior moment”
Guess the man just want his money and couldn’t wait no more
I totally agree
Wouiii, this one sweet like honey in one pot!! So you’re telling me that it’s too harsh? Raising vehicle licensing fees couple months after taxes isn’t “too” harsh! Just like every other, you can’t pay your bills you get kicked out! How you owe over 8mil in rent as a government? GASTON!!! WAY THE ALFA NERO MONEY DEY? whoever uncovering the government pot, throw the cover and turn up the heat
Make this make sense!!!!
I rent you my building you refused to pay I lock you out and I’m harsh?
OK. I am harsh but you are WICKED you don’t have eyes to see my 8mil and your doings but you have clear vision to see mine action? WELL NO PROBLEM WE WILL ALLLLLLL SIT AND LOOK ON EACH OTHER until my 8mill is in my account.
Nonsense
Hurst is NOT speaking on behalf of the government. No way Gaston could agree with that statement. PM Browne has many buildings on rent. APUA…State INsurance and all those we dont know about….Jolly Habour…So if everyone decide to renege on their payments you think he wouldnt raise hell?? And MAX wicked to suggest that because Paul Ryan and his generation has money they don’t need it
