Prime Minister Gaston Browne said: Gaston Browne has done more to advance Barbudans than any other in the history of the Barbudan civilization. Lands were leased for economic development; none sold to any foreign developer.
Upon expiration of the leases, the land and buildings revert to the full ownership and control of the Barbudan people. The only persons eligible to buy freehold land in Barbuda are nationals.
We offered up to one acre of freehold land to each Barbudan for $1.00, as a form of reparatory justice for the underdevelopment resulting from decades neglect of Barbuda by past administrations. I have always shown love and empathy for all Barbudans, even our political opponents.
You would recall that in 2013, I took $500K of our family savings to pay outstanding salaries and wages, that the then UPP administration could not pay, or refused to pay.
I was the first responder in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, risking treacherous weather conditions, to travel to Barbuda on a helicopter to reconnect Barbuda and Barbudans, after the entire communication system was destroyed by the hurricane.
Me and my administration fought unrelentingly to restore Barbuda. We attracted billions of dollars of investments to the extent, Barbuda is poised to become the top luxury destination in the Caribbean.
I have and will continue to give my heart and soul for the advancement of Barbuda and its residents. No lies, misinformation, disinformation and ridicule can stop me from loving and delivering for the Barbudan people. No amount of aggression can stop me from speaking truth to power in dispelling the myth of ownership in common.
There is no such legal or constitutional construct; it’s a salacious lie that morphed into a myth that became entrenched in the minds of the unsuspecting few, the political mischief makers and haters. Commencing next month, Barbudans for the first time in their civilization, will receive freehold title to land for $1.00, backed by our country’s constitution.
This is real tangible and sustaining empowerment with land that can be utilized economically for the present and future generations. The Gaston Browne administration is empowering the Barbudan people with ownership because we care. Much love & blessings.

The narcissist he’s resurfaced.
Keep doing.
Thats what the leader of the governing party is supposed to do.
I got news for you.
It would be in you and the labour party’s best interest not to run a candidate in the next general elections.
The labour parrt has overstayed its welcomed in Antigua.
I didn’t say Barbuda because Barbuda has never welcomed labour.
With dem long leases most Barbudans a go dead before dem leases expire, so generations of foreigners will still be in control. You will even expire before dem leases. On this National Day of Prayer you till can’t cum dung off you high horse. Brother Man self praise ah no recommendation. This National Day of Prayer nar change nutten, you ah de problem
Gaston Browne 🥸: “… If you would recall that in 2013, I took $500k of our family savings to pay outstanding salaries and wages that the then UPP administration could not pay or refuse to pay …”
So Prime Minister if you are this great saviour for the Barbudan’s as you state. Pray tell, how come you and the ABLP continuously fail to make any headway with your promises or with the electorate come any election?
AND THERE’S MORE FROM HE 🥸 FOLKS:
“… Barbuda is poised to become the top luxury destination in the Caribbean …”
Ahhh, I now understand why the Barbudan’s don’t vote for the ABLP, because they know they are more SERVANTS for the super rich and famous.
They want to witness the same sort of effort from you and your party in other sectors instead of pandering to the hotel lobbyists from the likes of Robert De Niro and their ilk.
Furthermore, this gentrification of Barbuda will eventually price out the indigenous population in the long-term.
I get it now Barbudan’s, I get it …
7. Rights of Barbudans over land
Barbudans of the age of 18 years and over shall, subject to availability, be entitled
(a) to the grant of an exclusive right of occupation of a plot of land for a dwelling in the areas
of land in Barbuda designated by the Council for residential development;
(b) to graze animals in the areas of land in Barbuda designated by the Council for grazing;
(c) to the grant of an exclusive right of occupation of a plot or plots of land in Barbuda for
cultivation in the areas in Barbuda designated by the Council for cultivation;
The Barbuda land act makes it very clear they already own their land and without paying.
This same tactic been used before in other countries where they give a communal community land deeds saying it gives them wealth but it only resulted in foreign business being able to buy up the surrounding land because they weren’t able to oppose it collectively anymore.
“Me and my administration fought unrelentingly to restore Barbuda.” It’s just your job to do so. It’s not a heroic act of rebuilding a community after a disaster. and to this day there is many of damage homes from Erma is still there
If Gaston changes the constitution doing this will only result in Barbuda being carved up and sold off at expense to the people of Barbuda and the ecosystem
You are proclaiming yourself as the leader who has done the most for Barbuda.
This news portal belongs to you and is showing how lie and narcissistic you are.
Though this picture us not a recent one the editor is just telling the world that you are a habitual liar.
The editor has you next to a dilapidated building which was destroyed in 2017.
The message to all readers is dont believe you.
See the state Barbuda is when that picture was taken long long long after the hurricane.
Great job editor.
Expose him.
@gaston: no leader has taken so much from Barbuda to empower white monopoly capital domination like the south African apartheid PLH and Oppenheimer, but Hugh marshall Robin and Lester took the equivalent in sands without a penny to Barbuda.
No other leader has been as contemptuous as you have, to the Barbudans. You have used the nastiest of adjectives to describe them to the world and all because they have refused to submit to your plans to make them nomads. What you are doing in these early stages of your insidious plans is of no benefit to the State, so who are the real beneficiaries? If the interlopers are NOT PAYING any taxes into our treasury, then who’s receiving for the handshake? Your partners are desperately waiting for that freehold privilege to gobble up all the pristine lands that you so glowing advertise and then you will own your 200 plus acres to commence your long-awaited flipping, while the owners of the land will be living like the negroes in Capetown and Pretoria. I hope the Barbudans continue to see straight through you
No other Leader give away Barbuda more than you that’s how the people of Bsrbuda see it
Gaston no other leader of Antigua & Barbuda is as DERACINATED and been an IMBECILE, as you! Asot is praying that you tell the truth about how much he has done for you and hope that you’ll give the police all the information which you have gathered about his assassination! You should honor Asot with a knighthood.
Gaston will you submit to a lie detector test publicly to verify what you have stated here about Barbuda and the Barbudans?
