According to Spencer, when one compares the UPP’s approach to governance and what it did for the people, Antigua and Barbuda is now existing in a retrogressive state.
The Browne Administration has failed to move forward and develop certain programmes and ideas put in train by the UPP, so that the people would be the beneficiaries, Spencer says.
And what is happening, instead, is that the country has slipped back significantly.
While his administration, which held office from 2004 to 2014, was a people-first government, the Antigua Labour Party Administration is geared towards self-enrichment, Spencer adds.
Instead of the people – in particular the middle and lower classes – prospering, those who are reaping the rewards are the government ministers, their families and friends, and the upper class, the former prime minister charges.
Spencer says whereas the UPP was deep in its philosophy of delivering for, and on behalf of, the people, under the Gaston Browne Administration it isthe reverse.
He says the people are considered only every five years – during an election cycle – when they are promised everything under the sun.
However, Dr. Spencer is putting the Browne Administration on notice thatthe people of Antigua and Barbuda have had enough and will no longer be fooled by political gimmickry.
According to him, they will rise to the occasion, re-electing the UPP, which seeks to make them the priority.
While serving as head of the government, Spencer had dubbed himself the country’s “Chief Servant.” He notes that, although there were many difficulties, his government still ensured that the people were its No. 1priority.
Meanwhile, he says, although the Labour Party continues to peddle the lie that the UPP is against non-nationals, Dr. Spencer reminds the public that it was the UPP who introduced the legislation that granted many of themcitizenship.
The former prime minister says his Party is one of inclusion – and not exclusion based on nationality, creed, class or race.
Dr. Spencer was speaking on Observer Radio’s “Connecting with Dave” on Monday, April 15, during the Party’s Media Day, as part of the activities leading to its 12 th Biennial Convention.
