Prime Minister Gaston Browne has reminded Cabinet members of their solemn responsibility to honour the trust placed in them by the people of Antigua and Barbuda following the Government’s decisive victory at the last General Elections.
During this week’s Cabinet meeting, the Prime Minister stressed that the overwhelming mandate given to the administration carries an unwavering obligation to deliver meaningful results and remain focused on improving the lives of citizens.

He urged ministers to continue serving the people faithfully, with diligence, humility and a renewed sense of purpose, emphasizing that the Government’s agenda must be driven by tangible outcomes that directly benefit communities across the country.
As part of the administration’s priorities for the remainder of its term, Browne highlighted an ambitious infrastructure programme aimed at completing no less than 75 per cent of the nation’s road network within the next four years.
The Prime Minister also outlined plans to further enhance preparations and infrastructure for major national events, including Carnival and the upcoming Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM). Additional priorities include expanding and modernizing street lighting across communities, increasing tree planting and environmental beautification projects, and intensifying efforts to create cleaner communities throughout Antigua and Barbuda.
Browne further advised Cabinet that the programme to remove derelict and abandoned vehicles from communities will continue as part of a broader strategy to improve public spaces, enhance community aesthetics, and promote a healthier and safer environment for residents.
Cabinet reaffirmed its collective commitment to honouring the confidence placed in the Government by the people and pledged to continue advancing policies and programmes aimed at driving national development and improving the quality of life of all Antiguans and Barbudans.
The people gave the government a strong mandate, so now it’s time to see results. Fixing the roads should be number one priority right now and not because of CHOGM
The biggest test for this government isn’t what is said in Cabinet. It’s what citizens actually experience in their daily lives.
