He revealed that over a million dollars of taxpayers&#8217; money was used to renovate the building, which had originally been purchased as an empty shell. \u201cWe spent public funds to fix it up, only to hand it back to the owner\u2014who happens to be the Prime Minister&#8217;s son. Who does that?&#8221; Lewis questioned, calling the situation a misuse of public funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lewis stressed that transparency and accountability are essential, demanding a thorough investigation into how Dustin Browne acquired the property and why taxpayers were left in the dark about the deal. \u201cThis isn\u2019t just about property; this is about the people\u2019s right to know how their money is spent,\u201d he said. Lewis also highlighted that the property was sold by West Indies Oil Company, in which the people of Antigua and Barbuda are majority shareholders, and insisted that they deserve to know how their assets were handled.<\/p><div id=\"antig-1626460041\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"500X500 (1)\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In his pursuit of answers, Lewis revealed that attempts to gain more information through the Freedom of Information Act have been blocked by several government ministries.
