ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Head of the Public Sector Transformation Unit Konata Lee said they are yet to determine whether there would be any casualties as they continue to implement a plan to modernise the public sector.

Thousands of public servants will spend another weekend without their salaries – almost a fortnight after February’s wages were due.

The clock is ticking on a seven-day ultimatum given last Thursday to Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer by the Antigua & Barbuda Electoral Commission (ABEC).

The implications of the two-year jail term imposed on the former accountant of Medical Benefits Scheme would not have been lost on the thousands of public servants employed by government in this country.

What is going on at the port is a crying shame. Has it even dawned on some people that the very livelihood of the workers is at stake?
