Opposition Leader Jamale Pringle
The United Progressive Party (UPP) has raised serious concerns over what it describes as a developing political issue involving police interest in Opposition Leader Jamale Pringle.
In a statement issued Tuesday, the party said it has been made aware of intentions by police to question Pringle in connection with the recent destruction of Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) materials in Old Road.

The development follows public remarks by Prime Minister Gaston Browne, who has accused Pringle, directly or indirectly, of involvement in the incident.
The UPP strongly rejected the allegations, describing them as baseless and dangerous. The party accused the Prime Minister of using parliamentary privilege to make statements that could damage Pringle’s personal and political reputation, while calling on law enforcement to act.
The party warned that any attempt to detain the Opposition Leader under these circumstances would be a serious political miscalculation.
It said Deputy Political Leader Sherfield Bowen has cautioned officers against such action, noting the potential implications for democracy and political stability.
The UPP also criticized House Speaker Osbert Frederick, accusing him of failing to uphold Standing Orders in Parliament and allowing partisan attacks against the Opposition Leader to go unchecked.
So who is to be question about his tent that bun you ?take that an eye for an eye old road haven’t done nothing yet take time
If Mr Pringle is questioned based on baseless accusations from Gaston Brown, yet again it shows Antigua do not have an independent commissioner or police. No independent speaker of the house, is it any wonder Antigua is in such a bad state?
Let the police do their work. Pringle is NOT above the Law. He cannot openly break the law, publicly encourage his thugs to do likewise, then incite said thugs to hide him from what should be an inevitable round(s) of interrogation by the Police . That’s standard practice for us the ordinary law-abiding citizens of Antigua. Who the hell is Pringle? Is he above tge law?
Mr Pringle you will.be vindicated. Stand still and watch God fight for you
They know damn well Pringle had nothing to do with that
The first time we heard of this police should investigate was from gaston
Timing matters. When police move like this in a heated political climate, people will naturally be suspicious
Pringle may not have been involved but we know he know about the incident and maybe even who did it. Mind he don’t snitch and claim the reward
TOUCH PRINGLE AND YOU WILL SEE TROUBLE. U WILL EXPERIENCE IT TOO..TOUCH HIM..JUST TOUCH HIM
