Published
Members of the Two Drilly gang

Prime Minister and Member of Parliament for St John’s City West, Gaston Browne has made a public statement expressing his intention to open a dialogue with the 2 Drilly Gang members.

He conveyed this during the Browne and Browne Show on Pointe FM, which took place on Saturday.

This gang, thought to be composed of younger individuals, is known to operate in the Fort Road area.

Prime Minister Browne emphasized that there would be no repercussions or betrayal for the group members involved in the proposed engagement.

This proposal aligns with his renewed commitment to reaching out to even the troubled elements in the community to foster more positive interactions.

The 2 Drilly Gang has been associated with various negative activities, and its members have purportedly made threatening remarks on social media platforms

    The pm needs to send the law to collect each and everyone involved or not and charge them let them feel what it is to be in the life they want to be

      They might go into jail and come out worse than they went in. We don’t want that in our society. Most young men do.

      This is an amazing idea. Fight the problem by understanding it. I belive Mr. Browne could also implement more parks, such as water parks, trampoline parks and other fun and interactive activities.

    The pm needs to show these kids that he is incharge and not them from now because if time passes and he don’t they will age and get more weapons and start doing crazier things then feel untouchable from the police

      Be careful what you’re asking, because some of big guys in jail are what messing with the youth mind when they go into jail.

    I guess the PM reach them since is was once past of a gang—only he can relate to them. Since their fathers don’t care, maybe the PM can be that father figure to them. Someone has to try reach these kids. Some of them might just wanted their father to hug them and say, lI love you son.” Good job PM. More men in society need to reach out to these youth.

    This is quite unexpected, if it’s known the amount of crimes they committed.. why are they joining forces instead of being judged by the law? But a decision like this must have some reasons, maybe the pm has a better way to deal with it, only time will tell.
