    Let’s see. “Noone will be forced to take anything. We respect people’s rights ” Shortly after this utterrnce: no jab,no job. Mandates. Choksi was on a rendezvous with his girlfriend. Turns out the man was kidnapped, brutally beaten and allegations of collusion between Antigua, Dominican and India.
    Two flights on Air Peace, bringing hundreds of wealthy businessmen, turned out to be Africans using Antigua as a gateway to the US.
    I could go on and on. The fact is, this clown is not credible, lies with impunity and must thing we’re fools.
    There is more, much more that he is telling. I suspect it’s about HIM. He will throw anyone or anything under the bus , even his wife, to save his own neck. Be warned you blind ALP followers.

    You are routinely misinformed by the ABLP Government officials. The hapless opposition more often than not are not able to understand and provide credible answers or alternative solutions. Here is whats going to take place. These islands will be flooded with questionable characters. All of which has faced the law in their home country or the US for some type unlawful act.
    With regards to the visa requirements it’s the new form of prestige
    Prestige now is a big house as ugly as it may be, and a fancy car.
    The same set of people who profits from the corrupt ABLP government will now have a new prestigious factor to play This new prestige factor will be ones ability travel to the US.
    If you are a ABLP faithful then your minister will get you a temporary diplomatic passport.
