REAL NEWS- Prime Minister Gaston Browne should be condemned for not having already commenced the much-touted Booby Alley project, says Alister Thomas, the United Progressive Party (UPP) Candidate for St. John’s City West.
Last week, Browne and Chinese officials signed off on the project, which reportedly is expected to commence soon, while Thomas is asking how many times a single project agreement can be signed.
In the meantime, Booby Alley residents are refusing to leave their neighbourhood, prompting the Prime Minister to threaten that those who refuse to leave voluntarily will be forced off the lands.
But Thomas is seeking the reason behind the residents’ refusal to move from the area.
The UPP City West Candidate blames Browne for this resistance by the people of The Point. He believes it is the manner in which the Prime Minister – who is also their parliamentary representative –made the initial approach to residents.
Had it been he leading the venture, Thomas says, he would not have had the current problem. With over $160 million in grant funding specifically for the Booby Alley project, he says the initiative would have been completed and the residents already moved into their homes.
His approach, he shares, would have included consultations with the people, showing them the conceptual and actual architectural drawings.
Since November 26, 2019, the Browne Administration and the People’s Republic of China signed a grant agreement to the tune of US$11 million for several projects, including the Government’s affordable-housing scheme.

I heard a recording of Gaston Browne. He was saying that before the 2014 Elections. The late Lester Bird had a stroke and they kept it a secret. He told Joey John the Doctor not one word of it should get out into the public.They wanted to win that seat he said. Was it fair to the people of that Constituency? Win by any means necessary is the order of the day for the GBLP. By the way that recording was played on a Radio Station inna Antigua.I am now wondering if that was the reason The people were saying that Lester just do drive-by and wave. He was being driven by someone.
