Prime Minister Gaston Browne on Monday described Sir Lester Bird as a \u201cgreat son of the soil\u201d as he led the country in mourning the death of the island\u2019s second prime minister.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

A statement from the Office of the Prime Minister said that all flags will be flown at half mast, beginning immediately, and that planning commence for a state funeral at an agreed date.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

It said that the \u201csad occasion took place this morning(yesterday) at about 6 a.m. (local time)\u201d, and in a personal statement on his Facebook page, Prime Minister Browne extended \u201csincerest condolences to the family of our national hero, Sir Lester, who transitioned to the great beyond\u201d.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

\u201cSir Lester was a great son of the soil, who contributed significantly to the socio-economic development of our nation. May his soul rest in peace and rise in glory,\u201d Browne added.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The statement from the Office of the Prime Minister said that \u201cAntigua and Barbuda has lost one of its most distinguished and heroic sons\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sir Lester Bryant Bird, 83, began his political career in 1971 when he was nominated to the Senate. He served as the island\u2019s second prime minister from 1994 to 2004. He was chairman of the ruling Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party from 1971 to 1983.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Antigua and Barbuda Ambassador to the United States, Sir Ronald Sanders, said beyond any doubt, Sir Lester is the architect of modern Antigua, responsible for successfully transitioning the country from an economy dependent on a defunct sugar industry into one of the leading tourism centres in the world<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder his stewardship, Antigua and Barbuda became a high-income country, transforming the quality of jobs and housing, and introducing high-end tourist resorts. When he lost the general elections in 2004, Antigua and Barbuda had the lowest rate of unemployment in the Caribbean of five per cent. Many people had the luxury of two jobs. \u201c<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Sir Lester was a keen sportsman, he played golf in his later years, but his passion was cricket. He was a superb pace bowler with a strategic knowledge of the game.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cAt a different time, he might have been selected to represent the West Indies. His early triumph for Antigua, and the West Indies, was to win a bronze medal for long jump for the West Indies at the 1957 Pan American Games.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sir Ronald said that the former prime minister was a committed regionalist, who was highly instrumental in establishing the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), serving twice as its chairman \u2013 the first time he was not yet prime minister, but such was the confidence that leaders of the Eastern Caribbean reposed in him.<\/p>\n

He strongly influenced the decision to turn the Eastern Caribbean Currency Authority into a central bank that serves its member states so well today. He was convinced that the structures of unity and functional cooperation should be maintained in the OECS, because the small size of the countries required unity for strength in regional and international bargaining.<\/p>\n

Sir Ronald said that in the wider Caribbean, he was literally and figuratively a giant. It was under his leadership as chair of CARICOM that, with Jamaica\u2019s P.J. Patterson and Barbados\u2019 Owen Arthur, the Regional Negotiating Machinery was established for collective bargaining with the European Union.<\/p>\n

\u201cKnown for his bold oratory, his annual speeches at the UN became a \u2018must listen\u2019, often reported by the international media. He fought tirelessly for a bigger voice in the international community for small states.<\/p>\n
