Michael Joseph Named as New Senator, Will Support Initiatives for Former Gang Members<\/strong><\/p>

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

Prime Minister Gaston Browne has confirmed Michael Joseph as the new senator in Antigua and Barbuda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement came as Browne discussed government-backed programs focused on helping former gang members find sustainable employment. <\/p>

He detailed plans to provide resources, including a container of food and 2,000 chicks, to support poultry farming initiatives for individuals exiting gang-related activities.<\/p>

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

Browne said “Senator-in-Waiting” Joseph is currently establishing a two-acre facility in Cooks designated for housing layer chickens and crop production. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the facility is complete, resources will be transferred to support both poultry farming and cash crop cultivation, offering economic opportunities and supporting local food production. <\/p>

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

This initiative marks a significant step in Browne\u2019s commitment to creating productive outlets for former gang members, with Joseph set to play a key role in these efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joseph is the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party candidate in the St. John’s Rural West Constituency in the next general election.<\/p>
