PM Browne: Restitution Preferable to Prolonged Investigations
Prime Minister Gaston Browne says restitution is often a better approach than lengthy and costly corruption investigations that yield little financial recovery for the state.
Speaking on his weekly radio program, Browne argued that in many cases, “people are guilty and you can’t find them guilty in the court of law,” resulting in years of legal delays and millions spent on probes.
He cited past cases, including one involving former government figures, which he said demonstrated how investigations can drag on without producing convictions or returning funds to the public purse.
“If we can get these people to cooperate and they decide to provide restitution with the understanding that there’s no repeat, I think it’s a win-win for everybody,” Browne said.
“We recover a few million dollars… it’s less money that we probably have to pay them.”
The Prime Minister added that his comments were not limited to any one case, noting that corruption and misuse of public funds have spanned administrations.

I feel like the pm is out of
Touch. Or maybe he thinks because those
Morals worship he on rum shop it feeds into his sense of delusion. But as a supporter of this pm, absolutely no one is buying this tale he is spinning. Get real
It was proven that they were guilty, that the money was stolen IHI….. really? And yet your government knighted these thieves. The word that Come to mind is…..hmmmm
One of the major player of the I H I has been retained as your top ambassador.
You have the country stagnated waiting for another major player to reach a milestone.
The only way one can be deemed guilty is when a competent court finds him/her guilty.
That diatribe coming out of your mouth saying that people are guilty but the court cannot find the so guilty should never come out of the mouth of a grade five student.
Diverting from a public inquiry is a cover up for high level corruption, ineptitude, willful negligence and racketeering.
In the 80’s in St.Vincent I believed it was, a Government official was accused of some how stealing around $40,000. PM James took the matter to court ang the Government got back the money. Issue was that it was a drawn out cade and it costed the Government $90,000, So, $90,000 to get back $40,000.
The people were saying that that was counter productive, and made no sense. Mitchel said yes. It made sense, because the court case cost the defendant also, and he had to send a message to prevent others doing same thing.
I prefer the James Mitchel way
