Prime Minister Gaston Browne has confirmed that Sir Robin Yearwood is not in the Intensive Care Unit.

This confirmation follows a post that has been circulating on Whatsapp claiming that the longtime serving member of Parliament is receiving intensive care at a hospital in the UK.

Browne said Yearwood is hospitalized but simply treating a minor health issue.

Yearwood is 80 years old and there had been concerns about his health in recent times. He narrowly won his seat in the last General elections

Meanwhile Browne said the masterminds behind the fake news are quote “…They are filthy minded. They are prepared to destroy everyone and everything that stands in their pathway to achieving power; even to burn our country to ashes, to become kings and queens of the ashes. They are shamelessly evil.”

    Gaston is afraid of his administration losing power because he doesn’t want anyone to know the truth about the country state of finance or how a fall state the country is in. He also doesn’t want anyone to know how she spent the CIP money under his under his leadership. All the wickedness and skullduggery he has done while being the PM. Mr Gaston the truth will come out to the public and taxpayers will know how their money were spent under your watchful eyes.
