Trevor Walker Criticizes PM Browne’s Photo with Masked Gang Members
Barbuda MP Trevor Walker has expressed strong disapproval of a recent photograph of Prime Minister Gaston Browne with masked gang members, stating that the image sends the wrong message to the public and undermines efforts to address gang violence in Antigua and Barbuda.

Speaking in Parliament, Walker acknowledged that while meeting with gang members in an attempt to initiate dialogue might be a bold move, the optics of the situation were troubling. “You’re taking a chance, going out on a limb—that’s fine. We’ll see if you can swim,” Walker remarked. However, he emphasized that the decision to be photographed alongside masked individuals was problematic.
Walker argued that Prime Minister Browne should have insisted that the gang members remove their masks if they wanted to appear in the photo. “No Prime Minister of any country should be standing up as the leader of a nation with anybody in a mask,” he stated.
According to Walker, allowing such an image could create the impression that the Prime Minister is condoning or trivializing criminal behavior, which is precisely what the government should be working to eliminate.

The Barbuda MP stressed the importance of principles in leadership, noting that while it’s important to show the public that steps are being taken to engage with gangs, such actions should be carried out with caution. “There must be some principled position,” Walker said. “You’re not coming in my picture with a mask.”
In addition to his criticism of the photograph, Walker called for immediate involvement of experts and professionals from the social transformation sector and relevant government agencies. He argued that while the Prime Minister’s engagement with gang members was a starting point, it should have been followed by the involvement of technical specialists who are trained to handle such sensitive situations.
“Social transformation has experts, technical people who can deal with these situations in a particular way and move the process forward,” Walker said. He acknowledged that neither he nor the Prime Minister had the expertise to address gang-related issues at the same level as trained professionals, and called for a more structured approach moving forward.

Despite his concerns, Walker expressed support for the proposed amendments to the related bill, stating that he had “no problem whatsoever” backing it, provided that responsible actions are taken in the future to address the issue of gang violence in a more effective and comprehensive manner.

Walker prefers video….remember he is on video proclaiming himself to be a “BORN RACIST”
Wonder if there was any video of him and that infamous BROWN PAPERBAG!
If he’s trying to help them why not?
Trevor WALKAWAY wouldnt know about helping people. He ain’t done shit for Barbuda except keep them in mental slavery and psychological bondage by perpetuating the lies about land. Meanwhile he has house and land in Antigua and is the lone gas station owner in barbuda. You think this man know anything about help??? He more enjoys cussing and causing chaos
To quote Trevor Walker in addressing Barbudans:
“…and seem to be on a protracted path of
-GAMBLING
-IDLENESS
-SEXUAL PROMISCUITY
-DRUG ABUSE
-ALCOHOL ABUSE
-BADMINDED-NESS
-COVETUOUS-NESS
-SELFISHNESS
-UNPRODUCTIVITY. People don’t want to work
-DECEITFULNESS
-People badminded and just covet other people
-LACK OF RESPECT FOR OTHERS
-LACK OF RESPECT FOR THOSE IN AUTHORITY
Council say work til 4 o’clock or 5 o’clock. You warn go home 10 o’clock
-LAZINESS
-THE LOVE FOR MONEY
-GREEDINESS
And the last one which I find is the most profound for me:
-OUR TURNING AWAY FROM GODLY THINGS”.

Notorious Gang Leaders and Mafioso Bosses don’t wear masks either; only the lower level ones. His name is all over for all the wrong reasons. I recently drove a couple from Maine who said that the U.S. need to be looking at this guy and they just my be.
ah YOU dem a look for not our beloved PM! Aryou too nasty and love ugly!! How many LIES yall told leading up to the last election…..where is the FBI so darn long eh??? you WICKED, HEARTLESS, EVIL SCOUNDREL YOU!!!!
Why is the Cooks Pond Water PM so afraid to travel to USA??? The PM has travelled there many times, so why didn’t the FBI arrest him as UPP claimed??
You are a NASTY piece of trash pretending to be decent. May the LIES you spew fall on you and your offspring!
Richard tried hard to outdo Mr. Pringle today, but that is to no avail because he has no say in UPP anyway.
2. The Chairman made it clear thatSHE WANTS RICHARD LEWIS OUT OF THE PARTY.
3. She revealed that a recent poll showed Richard Lewis trailing Michael Joseph in the St. John’s Rural West constituency.
4. The Chairman expressed her LACK OF TRUST IN Richard Lewis, stating that he can no longer win his seat and should STEP ASIDE.

@Hypocrisy you’re the pathetic idiot. Do you really think that the US is not already looking at arguably the most corrupt leader in the western hemisphere? Do you think the US has forgotten the Olderbretch scandal with the DAWG present in the area at the time?
You are so determined to defend this clown, it makes you what you are. A lowdown, dirty,semi-illiterate, cool-aid drinking Labourite.
This clown has brought Antigua and Barbuda into the doldrums and you continue to blindly defend. Wow! Imagine a Labourite calling people dirty and lub ugly. Hey,ALP invented ugly.
oh so now they are just “watching”??? I thought the FBI was ready like freddy to handcuff him on January 18, 2024???? GASP!!!???? u mean the fbi PUNK OUT???
Apparently dem boys prefer to use their resources on ACTUAL CORRUPTION…John Ashe already snitched on the UPP and the GREEDY, ASHY FOOT, KICKBACKS former Prime Minister. Dead men tell no tales, that’s why he said his piece before “they” took him out!
3 buses donated to help our school children mysteriously registered in 3 UPP names?? One turned into a mobile brothel eh? wow! #UPPcorruption!!!
SERPENT, SHUGY and RICHARD LEWIS should be EXPELLED from the party. They Guys are causing the IMPLOSION / EXPLOSION of UPP. They cannot be trusted. Richard Lewis needs to come clean and explain the alleged negotiation in reference to the HIGH COMMISSIONER to Jamaica.
@Weeping and Gnashing.. As if you care a hoot about UPP or anyone in it. Your job is to spread misinformation that you hope will lead to confusion and the mashing up of the UPP but that ship has already sailed. You can stop now.
the upp CHAIRMAN is doing an excellent job at mashng up upp. no competition needed.
Walker is a clown and has no concept of leadership. All he knows is how to enrich himself at the expense of the not too bright people of Barbuda. As the PM said these gangs are as large as a thousand members spanning all the villages of Antigua. There had to be communication to find a way to deal with this problem PM Browne has got vision, heart and guts and must be complimented for this initiative.
