PM Browne Says Pringle \u2018Threatened Rebellion\u2019 Before DCA Removed Morris Bay Tent<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Prime Minister Gaston Browne has defended the Development Control Authority\u2019s removal of an illegal tent structure at Morris Bay, saying Opposition Leader Jamale Pringle openly challenged authorities in Parliament and acted \u201cwith impunity\u201d against the law.<\/p>

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

The controversy erupted after Pringle, during Tuesday\u2019s budget debate, publicly dared the DCA to remove the tent. Hours later, enforcement officers carried out the removal as part of what officials say is a longstanding effort to clear unauthorized structures from the beachfront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Browne said Pringle\u2019s comments crossed a line and amounted to encouraging lawlessness. \u201cThe consequences of refusing to comply with the requirements of the law and threatening rebellion,\u201d he said. \u201cHe threatened us in Parliament yesterday during the debate. You can\u2019t be wrong and strong.\u201d<\/p>

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

The Prime Minister said the vendor associated with the structure had been repeatedly warned. \u201cHe was warned in writing and verbally. Instead of cooperating, he threatened further lawlessness. He was taken seriously and we acted accordingly,\u201d Browne said.<\/p>

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

He added that Pringle\u2019s remarks had wider implications for national compliance. \u201cHis threat has implications for compliance by other vendors. A message had to be sent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Browne also said other operators who follow instructions would not face similar measures. \u201cOn the basis that the others cooperate with us, we will use soft hands, reorganize and find them alternatives appropriate.\u201d<\/p>
