Destroyed project materials at Morris Bay in Old Road

Prime Minister Gaston Browne has placed responsibility on Opposition MP for All Saints East and St. Luke, Jamale Pringle, for the destruction of APUA infrastructure linked to the subsea cable project at Morris Bay, Old Road.

Preparatory works for Antigua and Barbuda’s subsea cable installation were thrown into turmoil after conduits and other project materials were deliberately set on fire, prompting the Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) to suspend operations due to safety concerns.

APUA officials reported that on December 12, teams discovered that conduits already installed for the project had been destroyed by fire. Preliminary assessments estimate the damage to be several thousand dollars, further delaying a project considered critical to improving the country’s telecommunications resilience.

Speaking over the weekend, Prime Minister Browne said that while Pringle may not have personally set fire to the pipes, he alleged that the opposition MP incited residents to carry out the destructive act.
