PM Browne Defends Wife Amid Vehicle Procurement Controversy

Prime Minister Gaston Browne has defended his wife, Works Minister Maria Browne, insisting she did not authorize the purchase of any vehicles currently under government investigation.

Speaking on his weekly radio program on Saturday, Browne addressed growing controversy over the unauthorized acquisition of several high-end vehicles allegedly procured in the government’s name without Cabinet approval.

He dismissed speculation that Minister Browne was involved, calling such claims unfounded.

The Prime Minister acknowledged the situation has prompted questions about internal oversight but said his administration is taking firm steps to address the issue and restore public confidence.

  1. My mother said if you ain’t got something good to say keep quiet.
    I will just drink some water and mind my business.
    Don’t know how Maria Browne qualifies for credit for a mass corruption scam taking place under her nose for three years.
    For it to happened so long it must have been either willful negligence and collusion or incompetence.
    Which are you crediting Marua Browne for Gaston?
    Additionally, you presented two budgets while this has been happening.
    Did those figures not show up somewhere?
    Where did the moneys come from?
    Was money diverted from one departmental head to another to facilitate this?
    Why didn’t the minister of finance observe red flags about the amount of money which should have received his ascent before disbursement?
    The best and easiest way out of this fiasco is for the ALP to throw in the towel.
    Call elections.
    Let genuine people take over the government and mount up a public inquiry into to this.
    Let the chips fall where they may.
    Stop waiting for time that isnt moving for Yearwood to reach the 50 years milestone while Rome burns.

  2. A husband supporting his wife!!! Who would have thought! The whistle-blowers must be primed and ready to do likewise …

    Popcorn at the ready 🍿

  3. Check the Department of Environment, all kind of people drive government vehicles and even take them home. Loose loose system.

  4. Gaston, u r the best!
    The most conning person I hv ever known.
    $15,000,000 missing under your watch… 200 vehicles on our roads without cabinets knowledge and you are applauding your wife for busting the chain?! Wow!
    You and her needs to be punished because you both really take us for fools.

    Lord help us!

    Marie is incompetent and have been given more than she is able or capable of handling effectively and efficiently. She was handed the City East Constituency on a platter. Her ministry must be thoroughly investigated and once found negligent must be brought up in the requisite charges, prosecuted and imprisoned if necessary like George Walters or Humphreys.
    We have had enough of your Browne Bag Scandals and shenanigans.

  6. @Natasha
    No.
    We are the ones who should be punished for being taken for fools, over and over and over again.
    Seriously, did you think he would fire his wife? Were you sure of this because of the likkle bad words in Cabinet?
    What we have to be worried about is that this man has taken over the job of the police. He is deciding who gets prosecuted, who gets cussed out, who is moved and who gets fired.
    He has been at this job so long, he believes he is a lord and absolute ruler.
    God help us.

  7. A government that can not do something as simple as following the right procedures to purchased high end vehicles!!! Is who y’all call a leader!! Corruption in everything where Mr Browne is concern..

  8. Mr Brown the only thing that would restore public confidence is a independent public enquiry. What you going to investigate your wife and be objective? Yes right!
    But despite being called the Big Dog, your not man enough to have a independent public enquiry.
    This is fraud and conspiracy on a massive sale. People should should be charged and tried in court, not just shift government positons!!

  9. Decent, honorable, upright citizen Faithful National
    # 1 must be on vacation or else he would’ve been all over Gaston and his administration like white on rice knowing how he hates corruption. Antigua is full of fake people

  10. Faithful National #2, I thought it was only me that noticed that the ABLP supporters have gone very quiet since this vehicle acquisitions misuse has dominated the headlines.

    They are all in “collective” denial. They only wake up when the Honourable Harold Lovell is in the news!

    I feel a little sorry for them, because they thought that the ABLP and Browne were untouchable.

  11. I agree with you 100 percent, people must be held criminally accountable. I am tired of seeing government employees committing crimes breaking the law and nothing is done.
    If Gaston brown can actually hold people responsible for this latest scandal, no matter who they are, then he would gain my respect….

  12. So if she didn’t authorize the purchases, who did? Somebody in government had to give the green light. That’s the part the public wants to hear.

  13. All these bad things happening behind Gassy Dread back and if it wasn’t for the watchful eye of his wife and minister Hon. Maria Browne the DO AS I FEEL MOVEMENT would be on full speed this morning….All I know plenty paper burning and shredding and new predated print outs in full effect..Phones ringing like crazy cause Gassy ready fa send man ah jail..
