Question of the Day: Should Asot Michael be granted a state funeral?

Question of the Day: Should Asot Michael be granted a state funeral, or does the official funeral decided by the Cabinet appropriately reflect his service and contributions to the nation?

Prime Minister Gaston Browne’s decision to grant Michael an official, rather than state, funeral has generated considerable public debate, with some arguing that only individuals with distinguished service and exemplary personal conduct should receive a state funeral. Do you agree with the Cabinet’s decision, or do you believe Michael’s contributions warrant the higher honor of a state funeral?

  1. People need to learn the protocol of burial. He’s not a Prime Minister or Governor General. State funerals are reserved for heads of state. Elected officials and public servants are entitled to official funerals.

  2. Does it matter? The man is dead he knows not, so state or official funeral is pointless in my opinion. They are both taking care by the government.

  3. That is true Carva but if he’s denied bc of character.. let me ask… is there any without sin??… Asot was a kind man not just to St Peters but to all…
    But it’s all about time and God..
    May his soul RIEP 🙏🏾 ♥

  4. @ . We know not who make it in. Make sure you’re in and your salvation is concrete in Jesus Christ. A man/woman can at the last moment once they’re aware in those last few moments ask for forgiveness and God will grant it, in spite of how bad they were, Hitler could gave asked for forgiveness and it would have been granted. One of the 2 thieves on the cross asked at the last moment and was granted. I really pray you’re on the straight and narrow.

  5. State or no state that’s not important is soul is been sweet or good doesn’t gain access to heaven a circumcised heart is what God requires if he haven’t repented of his sin nothing else in life matters. It has been alleged he’s on the other side of life and that alone is recipe for HELL so been good or having a state funeral will not cut it repentance would have. So taking scripture to back up your statement doesn’t cut it y not use the ones about repentance holiness and living in righteousness. We all need Jesus and that’s the bottom line not Lodge

  6. Regardless, as to #State vs #Official, Antigua, Barbuda & REDONDA is about to have, the biggest funeral and FETE #Antigua_Stylee!
    The Jamaicans will probably celebrate him with #9_Nights.

    His #FANS can petition the Government, to name the new cemetery after him and gave him become the first body to be interned there at…
