Armstrong died at about 7:24 a.m. on Saturday while undergoing treatment at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre. He had been hospitalized with multiple gunshot wounds to the chest, eye, and left hand. According to police, officers were called to the scene near Toy Toy Restaurant shortly after reports of gunfire. Armstrong was found lying on the ground critically injured. Emergency responders transported him to hospital, where his condition deteriorated overnight.
Government is reporting substantial progress in agriculture as both large-scale and backyard farmers increase local production.
According to the Throne Speech:
- Antigua and Barbuda is now self-sufficient in egg production
- Farmers are expanding poultry output toward meeting full national demand
- A new poultry abattoir and a modern quadruped abattoir will be built
- Local pork supply continues to grow
- CMC has expanded its role in guaranteeing markets for farmers
Government also highlighted the construction of small dams and ponds to tackle water shortages, which have historically hindered farm productivity
SO where’s the story. We all read the Throne Speech all these little bits and pieces getting on my nerve
New abattoirs and water improvements are crucial. Hope this means fresher products and better conditions for livestock.
Eggs are almost $20 dollars. Just sticking in a pin here
