Budget

Not Enough

Duke criticizes 2025 budget minimum wage increase as insufficient for the common man.

During the 2025 national budget on Monday, Minister of Finance Colm Imbert revealed that the minimum wage for public service employees would increase from $20.50 to $22.50 per hour. However, Watson  Duke, political leader of the Progressive Democratic Patriots, argued that this increase does little to improve the financial struggles of citizens. He calculated that, at this new rate, a worker’s monthly income would amount to approximately $4,000, a figure Duke described as insufficient to meet basic needs.
