PM Vows Crackdown on ONDCP Employees Collecting Full Salaries for Half-Days

Antigua and Barbuda’s Prime Minister Gaston Browne has issued a direct order to staff at the country’s Office of National Drug and Money Laundering Control Policy (ONDCP), demanding that employees currently working reduced hours immediately return to their standard eight-hour workdays. The prime minister has publicly accused a subset of the agency’s workforce of exploiting workplace flexibilities to collect full government salaries while only fulfilling half of their required duties.
