REAL NEWS:

Dwyer Astaphan is contradicting claims by Prime Minister Gaston Browne that he received an apology from the former St. Kitts politician and media commentator.

On Tuesday, February 1, an online media house reported Browne’s claim that Astaphan had apologized to him in private – saying that the attorney would not do so publicly – and accused the Prime Minister of being thin-skinned.

However, REAL News is reliably informed that Astaphan denies making any apology to Browne, either implicitly or explicitly.

Since the story was published, Astaphan also claims that he contacted Browne, asking when the purported apology took place. Reportedly, the Prime Minister has not answered the question.

This saga began on January 16, when Astaphan served as a panelist on Observer Radio’s Big Issues programme.

Along with Akaash Maharaj, he was thoroughly disparaged by the Prime Minister for comments made about a high-priced rental contract between Browne and Victor Singh, the principal of the Western Imperial Special Economic Zone.

Browne accused Astaphan of attacking the Antigua Labour Party and his family and of meddling in this country’s politics.

Meanwhile, many residents say the Prime Minister’s claims are not credible, given his history of “making up stories” about persons he considers political opponents.

Most of these assertions have been denied, with Browne being called “a liard” in one instance and failing to offer any credible evidence to support his claim.

A lab worker laughs and reminds our Newsroom of the Prime Minister’s claim, last year, that he had already received a COVID-19 booster shot – even before the third dose of the drug had been released.

“You can’t trust nutten that man say!” a public-sector employee declares.

“Gaston believe that everybody out here stupid; but we can add two and two and know it don’t make five,” he says.

  1. Saying that Gaston Browne is a liar is a given. What is concerning is that he is too idle. He should be focused on doing the people’s business. No wonder investors don’t take this guy seriously. He still trying to be the bully from Point. He is just pathetic. Focus on advancing this country.

  2. I see teargas Gassy nose start growing again according to the latest picture .
    What is to apologize for ? the statement is truthful and accurate and stands on its own.

  3. Dwyer it kind a serve your right really and truly. We know Gaston is a liar but I do believe you should be focused on SKB and that politicians there are stealing 30% of the budget Allocation… That’s concerning!!! By the way remember the former PM Dougie said you were representing and advocating Stanford whilst still being a member in Cabinet.. he classified it as a corrupt act whatever went down so I wouldn’t be too quick to stand on that moral pedestal.
    With respect to Gaston we know he throws everybody under the bus in an attempt to suggest he is such a rectitude of morality and good governance. Give him a chance..Let’s see how long the facade will last..

  5. Mr. Astaphan, you didn’t need to even explain yourself on this matter. We here in Antigua and Barbuda all know that Gaston Brown is a pathological liar. That is his nature.

  8. Be honest now. Com on. Did any of you believe TearGas Gaston when he was saying Dwyer apologized? Were you hoping he was not lying? Think of it. If that was the case, would you not have heard him so long before his show, and even seen a whatsapp or text, or heard the audio of the apology?
    Understood. You still believed in him enough to think he was not lying. One big bet. Not one of you would call him out on public media to confirm he was not lying.
    Anybody knows about Lord Chamberlain? He was the British Prime Minister who caused World War 2 and the murder of 40 million Jews. He went to Germany to ask Hitler if he was really doing the bad things he was doing. He went back to England and said that Hitler told him the truth because he looked in his eyes when he was saying ‘nuttn tarl go so”.
    We have a lot of Lord Chamberlains about here. Are we waiting for all of us to be turned into colonized subjects before we decide to do something about the scourge in our midst?

  9. Yesterday,in this medium.I told you folks that if you believed Gaston Browne,that Dwyer Astaphan apologized to him.I had some Ocean Front properties to sell you in Freeman’s Village.My comments into that matter seems to hold true.Gaston Browne is a diabolical Liar. Reminder,he did say,he did not know his wife was running for Political Office. What did you folks learn from that statement and their relationships? Such a life changing decision should be made in concert/unison.In this case it did not happen according to the TAP DAWG HIMSELF,GASTON”LYMAN”BROWNE.
