WATCH: PM Browne vows to root out “captured” treasury workers accused of favoring big businessmen

Prime Minister Gaston Browne has promised sweeping changes within the Treasury Department, following what he described as a troubling pattern of corruption and manipulation by “captured public servants” who allegedly prioritize payments for certain wealthy businessmen.

Speaking over the weekend, Browne said his government has received credible reports that some high-profile business figures have been paying treasury workers to fast-track the processing of their government checks, leaving ordinary citizens and small contractors at a disadvantage.

According to the Prime Minister, this practice has created a cycle of favoritism and exploitation, where powerful individuals benefit from insider access while “the little man” continues to wait for what is rightfully his.

Browne said the government will initiate major personnel rotations across key financial departments to disrupt these entrenched networks and restore public trust in the system.
