PM warns police will act if unrest breaks out in Old Road
Prime Minister Gaston Browne has warned that police will intervene if unrest or lawlessness emerges in Old Road, saying the government will not allow disorder to take hold under the cover of political protest.

Speaking on his Browne and Browne radio programme on Pointe FM, Mr Browne said that while residents are entitled to express their views, there are clear limits when actions threaten public order or national infrastructure.
“We cannot allow people to become lawless and to destroy our country,” the prime minister said, warning that acts of obstruction, vandalism or violence would prompt a response from law enforcement.
Mr Browne linked his comments to what he described as a growing pattern of incitement, arguing that political rhetoric can create conditions that embolden individuals to commit criminal acts.
“When you incite people and encourage confrontation, you create an environment in which lawlessness can flourish,” he said, adding that such behaviour puts communities and public assets at risk.
The prime minister stressed that his warning was not aimed at residents acting peacefully or lawfully, but at those who might seek to exploit tensions for political gain. He said the police would act “accordingly” if public safety is threatened.
He also rejected claims that recent enforcement actions in the Old Road and Morris Bay areas were politically motivated, insisting that planning and regulatory laws apply equally to everyone.
“No one is above the law,” Mr Browne said, adding that elected officials and ordinary citizens alike are required to comply with development and public-order regulations.
The comments come amid heightened political debate following enforcement action at Morris Bay and the recent fire that destroyed fibre-optic materials belonging to the Antigua Public Utilities Authority.
While stopping short of assigning blame for the fire, Mr Browne warned that incitement carries consequences.
“People must understand that words matter,” he said. “You cannot encourage disorder and then pretend you bear no responsibility for what follows.”
Mr Browne said the government’s priority is to maintain calm, protect national infrastructure and ensure that disputes are resolved through lawful and democratic means, rather than confrontation on the streets.

Doesn’t this man think before he engages his brain?
I told everyone that this is the worst Prime Minister since Lester Bird.
This man is quick to get our police involved in political discords or disputes, but acts like a slow moving sloth when it comes to dealing with rising gun crimes, burglaries and white collar misdemeanors.
He’s out of touch with public opinion, out of touch on the cost of living, and hopefully out of office by the next General Election.
WHAT THE HELL…! …WATCH IT PM: …TOP COP ‘…ROBOTICALLY FUNCTIONAL
***
Even as the intention might be perceived as ‘…GOOD,’ still, there are some things that:
(i) ‘…A PRIME MINISTER:’ who
(ii) …Holds not MINISTERIAL RESPONSIBILITY:’ for
(iii) …DEPLOYMENT OF POLICE PERSONNEL,’ may wish to refrain.’
***
Such could make the citizenry perceive that: a
(i) ‘…COMMISSIONER OF POLICE: is
(ii) …UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL:
(iii) …THAT HE OR SHE HAS BEEN PLACED ‘…UNDER DURESS: and
(iii) …BEING ENVIRONMENTALLY-EXPLOITED: and
(iv) …ROBOTICALLY’ FUNCTIONAL.’
***
WHAT THE HELL…!
STILL, BE THEY:
(a) ‘…PROPHETS:
(b) …PRIEStS:
(c) … PREACHERS: or
(d) …PARSONS: or
(e) … PASTORS,’ should they be called upon to
(i) ‘…PUT ASIDE THE BIBLE: and
(ii) ‘…A JACKASS’ WAS NEEDED TO BE ‘…RIDDEN BAREBACK,’ THEN RIDE ON.
***
WHAT THE HELL…!
‘…STAY IN THE SADDLE AND STRADDLE.’

A drowning man will always grab at straws.
Ur political end is nigh and jailhouse next. R we nah fraid U lying rass. Ah bey knuckle a kill U. Ah dat a bun U crazy rass too.
Old Road people, look and mark the faces of the police officers. Get the name of the police officers and where they live.
They can be sent a Merry Christmas card. It is Christmas.
‘The Police will act if unrest erupts in Old Road’. Why haven’t they acted after learning about the massive fraud that is labeled the Vehicle Gate Scandal? It is evident that you have total control over Law Enforcement in Antigua/Barbuda and that is just why the country is so lawless. For all the perceived infractions against our laws, you have never for, once been called upon by the authorities to account, which is indicative of the hold that you possess over the system. Remember that whenever the tables are turned and you grasp is loosened, the same Police will have no other choice but to act within the law and do whatever they have to do. Maybe it’s not too far off.
Yes sir! You my friend, put those constitutionally words – well thought out – and cleverly put together. We all know religion is the scoundrel’s last refuge, so cant expect much from these social parasites, until when there’s clearly money to be made.
We shall overcome!
Sending a backhoe to destroy a tent( a tent that can dis assemble) is not how you maintain calm. Every action has an opposite and equal reaction.
why didn’t the police act against the person most instrumental in the vehicle gate scandal, the former head of customs? is it because they didn’t receive orders from you? Talking about a fraudulent activity involving $15 million… when at this present time two junior customs officers are before the courts for matters involving less than $20 thousand. I can only conclude that the former head of customs is a free man because the someone WANTED IT SO for reasons known only to him.
