PM Browne Claims Zero Corruption in His Administration Over Ten Years<\/strong><\/p>

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

Prime Minister Gaston Browne has declared that his administration has not faced a single proven case of corruption in its ten years in office, asserting a record of clean governance and pledging full transparency on recent allegations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking during his weekly Browne and Browne<\/em> programme, the Prime Minister said his government would release all relevant documentation relating to recent public scrutiny, including the purchase of a new port crane and matters tied to the Odebrecht bribery scandal.<\/p>

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

\u201cThere has not been one issue of corruption that the opposition can point to with evidence,\u201d Browne said. \u201cWe\u2019re prepared to publish all the facts\u2014loan agreements, invoices, and official responses\u2014so the public can judge for themselves.\u201d<\/p>

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

He described the latest accusations as politically motivated and reiterated that his administration has operated with integrity since taking office in 2014. Browne contrasted this with what he said was a decade of documented corruption under the former United Progressive Party government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Prime Minister also announced that documents related to both the port crane transaction and the Odebrecht matter will be tabled in Parliament, stating that it is important to \u201censure future generations know the facts.\u201d<\/p>

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

Browne further dismissed recent attempts to link him to the Odebrecht scandal, insisting that he had no dealings with the Brazilian firm or its representatives, and that the matter had already been investigated with no findings of wrongdoing against his administration.<\/p>\n
