Part 2 Can LIAT (1974) Limited Survive? By Kwame Nkosi Romeo Guiltiness rests on their conscience Bob Marley Without a doubt, LIAT (1974) Limited can survive; however, the airline needs to streamline operations and get taxes lowered to be on the road to recovery. Under those circumstances, Chairman of the OECS, Dominica prime minister Roosevelt Skerrit, and East Caribbean Supreme Court (ECSC) appointed BDO representative Cleavland Seaforth must swiftly strategize how to save an essential component of the integration movement.  Prime minister Gaston Browne's leadership is in chaotic turmoil with inflamed policies that marginalize CARICOM nationals and baffle CARICOM's fundamental value principles in the government's disempowering Antigua and Barbuda citizens.
