Another dispute between the Barbuda Council and the Central Government may have to be resolved in court, Barbuda Member of Parliament Trevor Walker has indicated.
This time around, that matter is related to the non-payment of outstanding subventions that are due to the council.
During an Observer AM interview, yesterday, Walker acknowledged that although the council received a total of $800,000 in two instalments since the start of the new year, that amount is “way short of what is required to take of our obligations”.
He added that, “we are going to try to push and do what we can do even if it means taking the government to court to get our money that is legally due to us”.
