The Prime Minister&#8217;s wife sits on WIOC board which sold the Prime Minister&#8217;s son the property which houses three Government offices under her ministerial portfolio: the Ministry of National Housing, the DCA and the Land Office.<\/li>\n<li>WIOC&#8217;s sale of this property to the PM&#8217;s son was not publicly advertised, raising questions about the use of inside information to gain an unfair advantage over the general public.<\/li>\n<li>The Prime Minister has failed to provide any documentation proving that the repairs and improvements made to his son&#8217;s property represent value for money. An unsigned WhatsApp message without supporting documentation is wholly insufficient.<\/li>\n<li>The Prime Minister has failed to provide figures and documentation on the quantum of monthly rent paid after the expiration of the initial $1 per month term of the Lease Agreement, laid out in Clause 2.1, which ended on March 1, 2023. Clause 5.3 of the agreement provides for the renegotiation of rent every year after the initial 18 month period which ended on March 1, 2023.<\/li>\n<li>The Prime Minister has left many critical questions unanswered, instead attempting to deflect, and he has breached the public&#8217;s trust with his initial misleading statement claiming the property was owned by an &#8220;investment group&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>The Prime Minister attempted to mislead the public with his statements in Parliament and therefore cannot be trusted to protect the public&#8217;s interest if this questionable agreement were allowed to exist.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Prime Minister Gaston Browne claimed in Parliament that his son, Gaston Andron Browne III had \u2018some interest\u2019 in an investment group company which acquired Government property, and which is now being rented back to the Government.<\/p><div id=\"antig-281560895\" class=\"antig-content_4 antig-entity-placement\"><a
