Prime Minister Gaston Browne has spoken out vehemently, addressing allegations and the ongoing controversy surrounding private negotiations and political pressures.<\/p>

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

According to the Prime Minister, Peter Kelsick, a bar owner, negotiated with Royalton, for around US$100,000 as compensation.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, Browne claims that attempts were made to leverage political influence to escalate this figure to US$1 million.<\/p>

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

Prime Minister Browne, however, has distanced himself from these negotiations and the ensuing fallout. “Evidently, he and his cronies don\u2019t care that the PM is being accused wrongfully,” Browne remarked, emphasizing his innocence in the matter.<\/p>\n

“I had nothing to do with the negotiations or the demolition,” he affirmed, referencing the wider context of the controversy.<\/p>

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

Expressing frustration at being embroiled in what he perceives as baseless accusations, Browne warned, “You draw me into your comess and ridicule me, despite my innocence; I will surely respond publicly with the truth.”<\/p>

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

Browne’s message was clear: “Don\u2019t come crying to me now as some victim. You reap what you sow.” This statement underscores his belief in accountability and the consequences of one’s actions, while also signaling his readiness to confront and address the situation openly.<\/p>\n

This remark by Prime Minister Browne supports an earlier statement he made.<\/p>\n
