Prime Minister Gaston Browne says the annual distribution of hams and turkeys by the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) will begin this week, with deliveries expected to be completed shortly.
Speaking during the call-in segment of the Browne and Browne show on Pointe FM, Browne said the programme is proceeding as usual and that residents who have not yet received items should expect distribution to be fully under way by midweek .
The prime minister said the initiative is a longstanding ABLP tradition, dating back many years and maintained even during periods when party MPs were in opposition. He described it as part of the party’s continued outreach to communities during the Christmas season.
Browne also said a series of ABLP Christmas parties for children and the elderly will commence this week and continue into next week across various constituencies, as part of the party’s annual holiday activities .
The ABLP’s Christmas programmes are held annually as part of its community engagement during the festive season.
