Real News – Greed is what has put the country’s Citizenship by Investment Programme (CIP) at risk, says D.Gisele Isaac, chairman of the United Progressive Party (UPP).
Antigua and Barbuda’s visa-free access to the United Kingdom might be in jeopardy in the near future because of concerns over its CIP.
Accordingly, Isaac is disagreeing with Dr. Ralph Gonsalves, prime minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, who says that Caribbean countries do not have the machinery to conduct proper due diligence on CIP applicants.
Rather, Isaac says, it is the desperation for money – and not the lack of proper mechanisms – that has now placed the country in a precarious situation.
Isaac says the Gaston Browne Administration has taken too many chances and made too many glaring errors in not probing applicants’ business history and character, simply because it is more interested in the money.
The UPP chairman recounts the incident in which a Chinese woman had indicated she was withdrawing from the programme because of due-diligence challenges – but was allowed to obtain a CIP passport because she had already paid her application fees.
Isaac also cites the more recent incident involving passports being made in St. Vincent and asks who, exactly, were receiving those travel documents.
She believes that these were – or are – persons who did not qualify to get them through legitimate means.
Isaac notes that, for the past several years, much was not known about the CIP since the Government refused to report to the people on the initiative.
Based on all this, she says, the country may well eventually lose visa- free access to the UK, as was the case with Canada – again because of greedy politicians.
Antigua and Barbuda has boasted, in the past, that its due diligence machinery is excellent and that the United States was assisting in conducting checks and vetting potential applicants.
This, however, turned out not to be the case.

Who is more GREEDY than GISEL ISAAC. You were collecting so many paychecks during UPP administration. You are a HYPOCRITE. Hon Gaston Browne is slowly dismantling the UPP. All you Old Farts should be fired from around UPP. Dwayne George left UPP to join ABLP and more to follow shortly. UPP finished / done.
@ GORD
When a person is powerful and educated ABLP hates them and that includez GASTON BROWN- he don’t like BRIGHT people like Giselle. She caused HIM AND THE ABLP, including Michael Brown and GOVERNMENT TO FORK OUT OVER $3,500,000 OF TAX PAYERS MONEY ON A FRIVOLOUS LAW SUIT, and thats why they hate her so much, AS IF SHE PUSH STICK IN R U AZZES.

@ GORD
Who cares about George- HE IS AN OPPORTUNIST, UN-PRINCIPLED LIKE ALL THE OTHER TURN-COATS. His political career is finished before it even started, because once he gets his royal beating from Shuggy, the ABLP will abandon him. ABLP can have him because which organisation would want to have a person of his character in their midst?
HE IS ALL OF SELF AND NONE OF THEE, SO YOU CAN HAVE HIM FOR NOTHING=0, HIS VALUE.
@ NOUGHT
You represent your name nought ( 0 ). You DUMP AR***SE.
@ GORD
YOU ARE SO DUMB, YOU DON’T EVEN REALISE THAT I WAS REFERRING TO YOU AS BEING DUMB, that shows you why GISELLE IS SO BRILLIANT AND HOW GASTON KEEP YOU MINIONS IN IGNORANCE FOR A FEW PIECES OF SILVER.
GO FIGURE, YOU USELESS IDIOTS

Totally agree with you, your Honourable Gisele Isaacs. Gaston Browne is moving Antigua & Barbuda from a DEMOCRACY to a GREEDOCRACY, and will not stop until he and his self-enriched cohorts has reached their goals.
Gisele Isaacs, is telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth – WHAT A WOMEN!
Antigua’s equivalent to Barbados’ 🇧🇧 the Honourable Mia Mottley.
UPP’S FUTURE IS LOOKING GOOD 👍🏾
Well said. Never mind the mudslinging, character assassinators like @Carter. They know no better and Antigua and Barbuda will sink into oblivion for idiots like these. We have never had an audit of the governments accounts since this dunce took over our finance, but we know he has collected over 12 billion dollars in revenue, not to mention the over one billion he has borrowed and what we know nothing of. Where the hell is all the money? Now he cant pay the Chinaman for the port loan. Why? Wasn’t Badu bragging about the huge profits the port was making? What about the exorbitant prices at the pump when the price for a barrel of crude oil has dipped below $70? Just an economic dunce masquerading as a finance minister. The Chines(yes, the same ones he told to colonize us) have a saying, “Greed will imprison us all.” It’s just a matter of time.
@Watching… Ee seem lakka you ah watch Man Cow. Careful she nah breed you bo.

Greed was responsible for the misgivings we had about the Board of Education when a certain person was running it.
D Gisel Isaac should hide Her face. She is destroying UPP. Please get rid of Gisel from around the party. When is the convention ? She has Pringle like a YOYO
@Cari
She will not hide her face- she will show it up $3,500,000 times – the sum she caused you all to fork out from people’s taxes.
She is destroying the UPP as much as the polls show GASTON destroying the ABLP-FOOL
