PM Browne Criticizes UPP’s Independence Gala as “Self-Celebration”
Prime Minister Gaston Browne has expressed surprise and criticism over the United Progressive Party’s (UPP) recent awards gala, held during the Independence season, accusing the party of staging a “self-congratulatory” event that honored its own leaders instead of focusing on public achievements.

The ceremony featured recognitions for UPP figures, including UPP leader Jamale Pringle, Leon “Chaku” Symister, and Chairperson Gisele Isaac, and others, raising questions from the Prime Minister about the motives and criteria behind the honors.
“What I find quite astonishing,” Browne stated, “is that the very leadership they’re trying to get rid of includes Jamal Pringle, Gisele Isaac, and Chaku. And instead of responding to their membership, addressing the concerns of their membership, they went and honored themselves.”
He questioned the purpose of the awards, suggesting that they pointed to a self-centered approach. “

And I’m left wondering: what exactly are they celebrating? Their lack of performance?”
Browne further questioned the legitimacy of the awards, particularly the recognition of prominent UPP figures.
“Okay, when you honor somebody during Independence, it’s based on performance. So, what is Chaku’s performance? What is Gisele Isaac’s performance?” he asked, adding, “Are they so—what term should I use now? Are they so conceited that they believe they’ve done well to the extent that they are literally setting up an honor system to honor themselves? Imagine that.”

Wait. Gaston forget that people in his party and his executive want to get rid of him?
Gaston forget that a balls-less member of his cabinet, up until recently, wanted to challenge him for leadership because the said cabinet member and members within his party believe he is no use for their party?
I wonder why Gaston believe one of his senators have resigned even though he wanted the senator to remain ‘for now”.
Good work U.P.P.
Be sure to do it again next year.
Continue to mad gaston and his clowns.
How dare Gaston Browne criticise an Antiguan award ceremony (whether it’s for political recognition or any other hardworking endeavours).
Antiguan awards for Antiguans by Antiguans, surely must be applauded?
I’ve witnessed hoteliers like Sandals Resort awarding their staff with worthless plaques and certificates, instead of given them secure long term employment and better pay. Tarl!
And worse yet still, I didn’t hear a pip-squeak out of Prime Minister Browne when the UK’S monarchy continually hands out worthless titles and trinkets to the citizens of Antigua & Barbuda.
UPP may be in opposition – at present – Gaston, but how dare you devalue Antiguan awards of any sort.
YOU UNPATRIOTIC BASKET CASE. I HOPE THIS BACKFIRES ON YOU …
AGAIN, HOW DARE YOU DENIGRATE ANTIGUAN AWARDS.
Am I the only one who can see this fool is a damn fool?
This time PM Browne has it completely correct.
Conceit, bravado and take that in your face, is what Gisele and her squad is saying to the membership of the UPP and the public. In an atmosphere with a ticket price that most members could not afford, chairman Gisele paid homage to herself and those who have been doing her destructive slashing work for her. Yes, Ma Barker and her boys now have full control of the UPP mafia.
It looks like she has a don’t care attitude now about the party which has become like her own little toy. She wants to thank them for their job well done for delivering the convention to her and her puppet man, so she gives them awards.
The biggest let down here is Chaku. No one is sure if he is disappointed that he did not reach the hights of glory that he thought he would like his other ACLM brothers, so he is taking anything he can put his hands on now. But things do not look good for him. His disappointment seems to have turned him into a mean SOB.
I am a UPP supporter, I see nothing wrong with the honors. I would suggest to Chaku his Sunday program is lackluster I do not think much people listen to it. The UPP made great progress in the last general election then messed it up by cannibalizing each other, they are allowing Gaston Browne to out-politics them. The leadership of the UPP got to step down from their high horses
Papi we need for you Gaston to call our convention. We the Spanish want Asot. No esta bueno! No mas papi! No mas. Vabanos!
PAPPYSHOW UPP 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
I had the very same thought when I saw the honor being bestowed on the three. I will accept the Jamale award as he has stuck it out from 2018 in Parliament as Single Pringle, learning the process and procedures. I will give him that.
But as I told Harold Lovell directly in 2017 or thereabouts, D. Giselle and Chaku will cause the downfall of the UPP.
I must admit that I didn’t know it would come to this.
Their reason for being the administration in waiting is not honorable, to put it mildly.
Praise yourself when things around you are collapsing.
Good luck…
“…he has stuck it out from 2018 in Parliament as Single Pringle, learning the process and procedures.”
NOTHING TARL GO SO!! PRINGLE IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE ESPECIALLY IN PARLIAMENT!!! HE CAN ONLY STICK TO A SCRIPT. HE LACK REASONING, GRAMMAR, SUBJECT-VERB AGREEMENT, READING AND SPEAKING SKILLS!!!
Why you think he fraid to convene the P.A.C of which he is head?
Three STOOGIES. Awards my ARSE. These Three Persons completely destroyed UPP. Now They are rewarded. DUMB MOVE. Only FOOLISH BRIXTONIAN and ZACKIE will endorse this CRAP. Just like the MOCK Parliament.
BRIXTONIAN must be the BIGGEST DUNCE in Antigua. He supports STUPIDITY. The reason why UPP hold on to Pringle because that’s the only seat They believe could win election. The PUPPET and PUPPET MASTER.. Pringle please enroll in UWI and stop the PUPPET MASTER having to speak for you. Pringle is most FOOLISH POLITICIAN in the Candidates.
So public servants will get an extra month’s pay this christmas; that’s sounds good when will pensioners who worked in the private sector get an increase in their monthly social security
Giselle on the radio today boasting about how the banquet was so great and it was the best ever and how she dance so much and do the electric slide.
So the question must be asked.
Did they organize the banquet so Giselle could honour herself and get the opportunity to DANCE?
She never hear about Big People Party? Or she just want to dance in her own thing?
Ar yuh luk yah.
Instead of being troubled by the UPP, why not call the convention? There is democracy in the UPP and you, Money-Hawk, are a practicing Dictator. Can you imagine an organization where a lone individual is the Judge, Jury and Executioner, where any desent is violently dealt with? Gaston treats all the members like juveniles at a boot camp. Today marks 3 consecutive days since I haven’t had water from APUA and you wimps find the time to be concerned with UPP’s business.
I am a upp supporter but after the deplorable developments in recent time why on earth does the upp leadership decides to have their own awards ceremony?….. it shows desperation
@ Smh, tap lie!!! Many of us have read some of your previous comments, and your no UPP supporter.
TAP DE LIES NAH!
ABLP supporters showing their desperation once again …
