The most recent company filing for IF Antigua Inc conclusively proves that Gaston Browne’s son is still the sole director, and is therefore the sole owner of the property Government is renting on Friars Hill Road.

This revelation is contrary to what the Prime Minister said in Parliament, where he claimed that the property is owned by an “investment group” in which his son has “some interest.”

A one-director company is not an “investment group” and it is clear that the Prime Minister deliberately attempted to mislead us.

I call on the Prime Minister to come clean on this highly questionable arrangement.

There are too many unanswered questions around Government’s rental arrangement with his son:

– Was the property originally owned by West Indies Oil Company?

– How did the Prime Minister’s son acquire the property?

– Was the information of the proposed sale of the property by WIOC shared with the public?

– Why did Government decide to rent property from the Prime Minister’s son, without disclosing that to the general public?

– Did the rental go out to tender before being awarded to the Prime Minister’s son?

– Was this the most reasonable priced space available on the island? And were any alternatives considered?

– Did the fact that all government offices within his son’s building fall under the Ministerial Portfolio of his wife Hon. Maria Browne influence the decision? And did his wife play a part in the decision?

– Did the Government spend a fair amount on the repairs?

– How could the Prime Minister claim that what is owed in rent exceeds what the Government spent on repairs, yet be unable to give even an estimated figure on the cost to the tax-paying public?

The lack of verifiable information around this rental arrangement is completely unacceptable, reeks of nepotism, and warrants further investigation.

I call on the Prime Minister to fully publish all pertinent details surrounding this lease agreement, including all expenditures and plans to upgrade or add on to the property.

Government resources must be spent in a responsible and accountable way, especially by an administration who is raising taxes left and right and center.

Richard S. Lewis MP

  1. And people still supporting these and vagabonds. Well it is either they are downright blind figuratively or they themselves are benefiting from these corrupt practices. Time to get rid of these red renegades.

  2. No wonder why things are so brown in the country, greedy nefarious leaders who will lie to the public even though their is evidence he is lying.
    This man is only about himself I hope it won’t be too late the citizens realize.

    Repeat this 10 times citizens

    Gaston Clown is only about himself!

  3. “An informed electorate is a prerequisite for democracy. If voters do not know what is going on in politics, they cannot rationally exercise control over government policy. Large-​scale voter ignorance poses a serious danger to democracy.

    Inadequate voter knowledge has two major negative implications for democracy. First, it prevents democratic government from reflecting the will of the people in any meaningful sense, undercutting the β€œintrinsic” defense of democracy as a government that reflects the voluntary decisions of the populace. Likewise, voter ignorance imperils the instrumental case for democracy as a regime that serves the interests of the majority, since ignorance potentially opens the door for both elite manipulation of the public and gross policy errors caused by politicians’ need to appeal to an ignorant electorate in order to win office.” Ilya Somin.

    Why blame the Prime Minister when it is the electorate the placed him in power?

    • “Why blame the Prime Minister when it is the electorate the placed him in power?”.That is the point; the electorate did NOT place him in power. The last election was stolen, rigged through voter gerrymandering. That is the tacit admission from the man himself. You might have missed it.

  4. I would like Gaston and Gaston to come on the Public Media.Tell us,and show us the roadway to becoming successfully rich.Like from nothing to becoming a multi-millionaire within a 5 years period.Tell it so the young people and others could use the formula to get rich and not depend on handouts,from Gaston Sr.

  5. … interesting that 434 main st is a college campus… how does a “director” of a ocmpany not have a valid company address?

  6. Why is Gaston’s address listed, the address for Monroe College in the US? Does this document not require a true residential address?
