The United Progressive Party (UPP) is calling Prime Minister Gaston Browne into account for the imminent threat to Antiguans’ and Barbudans’ access to United States’ visas.
Instead of the prime minister attempting to lay blame for this possible scenario, he should take responsibility for the underlying cause: that is, the compromised status of the Citizenship by Investment (CIP) programme and the porous state of Antigua and Barbuda’s borders.
These – and not the UPP – comprise the perceived threat to the security of the United States.
It was not the UPP who systematically altered or eliminated the checks and balances that were incorporated into the CIP’s original design.
It was not on the UPP’s watch that passports were being manufactured in St. Vincent & The Grenadines – outside the purview of the Citizenship by Investment Unit – a situation initially denied by Prime Minister Browne, himself. Nor has the UPP contributed to the stalling of this matter in the courts.
It was not the UPP that allowed persons whose interests were inimical to good governance and transparency and to the United States’ security interests to receive Antigua and Barbuda passports – including an individual trading in contraband on the Dark Web and a Chinese national wanted in his home country for alleged bank fraud.
You should be telling this to the United States government. Charlie Chaplin already know this
Here we go again! More baboon chatter from the chief baboon itself designed for whose stomachs have been well conditioned to absorb this BS. The Baboon, to its credit managed to complete secondary school. How can we expect it to understand much less discuss world politics with all its subtleties and nuances. Stop insulting the intelligence of your own supporters, most of whom are far more qualified and able to interpret and articulate current world politics!
I follow this chat from here I n Barbados, and view the attack on a son of the soil . The claim that he is not an intellectual or highly qualify is very demeaning. He is a reflection of most Caribbean people, who have nevertheless contributed significantly to the development of the region and indeed the world. The qualified and certified has cause havoc across the globe too…….no special breed.
He don’t understand nothing. He must be a ‘pringles’ cuz Gaston always ah nyam he food.
UPP is still a thing. Asking for a friend
shenanigans = Gaston Browne
Even though I think its time for Pringle to step down I call on us to comment objectively. Issues and not these low down disrespectful attacks . He is a human not a baboon. We all have one creator. Remember a Nation to build a country to mold. If ever a time its NOW!! It strats with us, me, you, they , them and demdey.
Apparently. Well let us pray and sincerely hope that Pringle get some common sense.
Well, access to travel to other first world countries will become more difficult.
