ST. JOHN’S, Antigua, CMC – The Antigua and Barbuda government says despite “the many challenges facing it at this time” it will put in place the necessary mechanism to ensure that public servants are paid on time this month. Finance Minister Harold Lovell said that payment should be made no later than Friday. In recent months, public servants, including teachers, have gone on strike to pressure the Baldwin Spencer administration into paying their monthly salaries on time.
