Prime Minister Gaston Browne seems hell-bent on destroying the reputation of members and supporters of the \u00a0United Progressive Party (UPP), says Alister Thomas.<\/p>

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

Thomas, the Party\u2019s Candidate for St. John\u2019s City West, recalls Browne saying that he would use the State\u2019s resources to get at, and bankrupt, those who oppose him.<\/p>\n

He says that Browne has gone through with this evil ploy, and Thomas names the many UPP candidates and supporters who have been dragged through the courts on various charges.<\/p>

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

While there are other serious crimes to be investigated, law enforcers are wasting the country\u2019s already scarce resources on frivolous prosecutions and have quickly prepared case files to that end, Thomas says.<\/p>

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

Thomas says similar threats were also made against him.<\/p>\n

The UPP Candidate says all these arrests are an abuse of the justice system and erode the people\u2019s confidence in the judicial process.<\/p>

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

Meanwhile, Thomas says the Browne Administration has failed to deliver on quite a number of election promises.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, he says, the Antigua\u00a0 Labour Party Government continues to piggyback on several initiatives implemented by the UPP Administration since it is devoid of ideas. (REAL. NEWS)<\/p>
