Dear Editor,<\/p>

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

As a comrade, I cannot tell you how disappointed I am with how the Hon. Asot A. Michael is being treated by his own party, the prime minister in particular and all the people whom he has helped over the years.<\/p>\n

Talk about kicking somebody when they down. In the last month, I have heard seen Asot\u00a0being attacked again and again in the press with literally no one standing up for him, at least not publicly.<\/p>

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

Gaston was quick to kick him to the curb even though to this day the man has not been charged with any crime.<\/p>

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

Gaston knows that he has Asot to thank for his victory over Lester Bird for the leadership of the party and Gaston also knows that he has Asot to thank for the 2014 election victory especially\u00a0where campaign financing in concerned.<\/p>\n

And to hear Gaston say on radio that he’s willing to provide the Integrity\u00a0Commission the money to investigate Asot\u00a0was painful to hear.<\/p>

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

Not one of Asot’s\u00a0colleagues has spoken a word in support of him. How many of them have benefited publicly from him?<\/p>\n

Where are all the people that Asot\u00a0Michael has employed over the years?\u00a0Where are all the people who have benefitted from the thousands of dollars of his personal cash Asot\u00a0hands out daily?<\/p>

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

Well, well, well..what a bunch of ungrateful\u00a0Antiguans!<\/p>
