Prime Minister Gaston Browne has delivered a pointed message to his newly sworn-in Cabinet, framing their appointments not as political rewards but as a solemn obligation to drive a national renaissance.
According to Antigua Observer, ministers were formally issued instruments of office on Tuesday at the American University of Antigua, where Browne made clear that the weight of governance — not the prestige of title — should define their tenure in office.
Browne's remarks set a firm tone for the new administration, signalling that accountability and dedicated public service will be the benchmarks by which his ministers are measured. The Prime Minister characterised the Cabinet posts as a burden to be carried rather than a prize to be celebrated, a framing that underscored the seriousness with which he expects his team to approach their responsibilities.
The swearing-in ceremony marked a significant moment in the country's political landscape, as the freshly constituted Cabinet prepares to take on the work of governing Antigua and Barbuda in the period ahead.
