Ever since the reported questioning of MP Asot Michael, by British crime authorities, his presence in the Cabinet of Antigua-Barbuda, represented a substantial threat, to the integrity of Government and Governance in our twin island state.
Indeed, the reported actions and investigative interests, of the British and their European partner(s) placed Michael’s continued participation in executive and parliamentary governance, at odds with democratic best practices.
Guilt or innocence, his reported interrogation by British crime fighters, removed his executive destiny from the hands of the ABLP, placing it at the disposal of certain international interests.
Furthermore, given the tentative but unmistakable reform tendencies of PM Gaston Browne, I am not surprised that Michael is dropped from the ABLP’s list of candidates for the next general elections.
In the circumstances, it is reasonable to believe that, Michael could be a very worried man at this time.
The impending loss of parliamentary privileges and immunities, could be a big deal for someone in his predicament.
So don’t be surprised if he spends a couple million dollars trying to keep the St Peter seat.
Furthermore, Michael and his friends should not be alarmed if (like the Europeans) other national authorities have been listening to his telecommunications traffic with animated interests. If that is true, he may want to prepare himself for even more exciting times ahead.
As the political temperature rises in Antigua-Barbuda, Michael may be discovering, that his rather colorful and (perhaps) controversial political journey, may be coming to a very rough dead-end. Worst yet, he may be noticing that (even his long-standing political friends, are finding him an inconvenient companion.
Given the alleged political largesse of Michael (over the years) many must admire PM Gaston Browne for, his exemplary political and personal courage, in taking steps to remove the outgoing St Peter MP, from the face of governance in Antigua and Barbuda. Now Michael’s political destiny may very well rests in the hands of the electors in St Peter.
Walk good until next time.

I am more disappointed in the Prime Minister than MP Asot.
This is how people are treated? No support? You throw them away as issues arise?
Again, this is why I stay away from folks and make as much money as I can. Because you can rely on the money but not people.
I do not know what another allegedly did but I do know how the PM is handling Asot. It feels wrong, after so many years. This is what he gets? Imagine how a nobody like me would be treated?
I want someone to have my back, to give me support. Not behave like this.
Asot got tossed out of the ABLP Saloon, throw the the stain glass window, on his bare ass!
Get up Asot, dust your ass off, pull your pants up, hold your head up and deliver to the Nation, the #TRUTH and essence of those criminal activities which Arvel Grant is referencing, and others as well, such as IHI and Odebrecht.
Tom maybe drunk, but Tom ain’t fooley(fool-fool).
Asot maybe don’t but he’s not out, get up off your ass, put adjust your gloves, come out swinging, you ain’t got nothing to lose Asot. You have just about lost all which is dear to you, #political power. Therefore, like the #Terminator or the Phoenix Bird rise from the ashes of the fire which Gaston Browne and ABLP used to toast and roast your ass, and be a martyr to the Nation.
Get Up Asot! Get Up!
The Prime Minister knows more about this case than we do, and I am sure his moves are based on the facts he has. Asot should just pack up his bags.
