Anguilla’s newly-appointed Chief Minister and Minister of Finance, Mr. Victor Banks, delivered his first major address on Tuesday, May 19. He spoke in a Radio Anguilla broadcast on The State of the Nation. During his delivery he outlined various challenges facing Anguilla and declared that his ruling Anguilla United Front Government will fix them.
There has been swift reaction to Mr. Banks’ address from two political opponents. One is Dr. Ellis Lorenzo Webster, the new Leader of the Anguilla United Movement which, under former Chief Minister, Mr. Hubert Hughes, served as the Government of Anguilla over the past five years. The other opponent, who responded to the broadcast, is Ms Palmavon Webster, Leader of the Opposition in the Anguilla House of Assembly.
The text of Mr. Banks’ broadcast and the responses by the Leader of the Anguilla United Movement, Dr. Webster, and the Leader of the Opposition, Ms Webster, are all published elsewhere on The Anguillian website for the information and scrutiny of the public.
