Prime Minister Gaston Browne has issued an immediate response to the Antigua and Barbuda Bar Association.
He said:
Look at this idiocy.
We have one of our most significant national security challenges on our hands. Instead of joining the fight by encouraging stricter sentences and the ending of routine bail for gun crimes; these “weak knee,” apologetics are seeking to score skewed intellectual points at the expense of the safety and security of our people.
They are literally giving comfort to criminals. SMDBH.
If you want respect from the people, institute stricter sentencing and work with law enforcement to deny bail, when these criminals represent a threat to the society.
The ugly truth offends, but I will always stand on the truth in defense of our nation and its people. A responsibility from which I shall not shirnk, irrespective of the consequences.
I took a parliamentary oath to speak without fear or favor.
This is not autocratic leadership, it’s fearless leadership, playing my part in soliciting the full support and commitment of all stakeholders against crime and violence.
Sentencing guidelines must be realigned to deal with crime and violence which is now a public health epidemic.
I said what I said.
Come for me !
