CABINET NOTES: The Cabinet also agreed that a small increase in vehicle registration fees on heavy-duty trucks and on earthmoving equipment that utilise the roadways, shortening their lifespan, will soon be enacted following the next Parliamentary sitting this month.
The amounts to be raised by this shift will be utilised to leverage a loan from several banks that will be utilised to fix many roads throughout the country.
It will become a dedicated sum, not unlike the Board of Education Levy that is currently used to provide resources to fund education; or, the statutory obligations paid to MBS by all employed persons to support healthcare in the country.
The complaints of potholed and poor road surfaces will be eliminated in Antigua and Barbuda, the Cabinet decided.
