Richard S. Lewis took to social media ahead of the parliamentary debate next week on the proposed 40 percent licensing fee increase. He made he statement below:
Somebody Gone Stark Raving Mad!
40% increase in vehicular license fees? 40%? So the people complain about the pending $100.00 increase and the Cabinet says to hell with the people, let’s make it 40% increase instead?
That is 40 cents on every $1.00. Murder! Murder! Mur… This is unconscionable! People of Antigua and Barbuda, we have to fight this one.
Mr Prime Minister, this is cruelty, abuse of the highest order, blatant callousness and a total disregard for the long-suffering people of Antigua and Barbuda. Rescind this increase or you will feel the wrath of the people.
Richard S. Lewis MP
