In a robust defense against recent media allegations, the author, under the pseudonym Nomad, has issued a detailed rebuttal to claims made by Harold Lovell and D. Gisele Isaac. Lovell’s article, titled ‘Chain Gang Exposed: Gaston’s Culture of Creating Enrichment Blows Wide Open,’ and Isaac’s piece, ‘Ask What Your Country Can Do for You,’ have sparked significant controversy. While acknowledging Lovell’s eloquence, Nomad criticizes his lack of veracity, accusing him of habitual falsehoods. Specifically, Lovell’s assertion that Prime Minister Gaston Browne and his son profited from a land deal at Long Bay is categorically denied. Nomad clarifies that the transaction was a private treaty and not involving government land, with all details verifiable through the Register of Lands. Furthermore, Lovell’s claim that Browne became a millionaire solely through this deal is dismissed as an egregious lie, with Nomad pointing to Browne’s transparent declaration of his wealth under the Integrity in Public Life Act 2004. The rebuttal also addresses Lovell’s allegations of corruption in the ‘shadowy WIOC share deal’ and the ‘Antigua Airways fiasco,’ questioning the basis of these claims. Nomad highlights that it was Prime Minister Browne who initially exposed the ‘chain gang scandal’ and emphasizes the government’s ongoing audit to ensure financial oversight. The call for an independent inquiry is scrutinized, with Nomad arguing that the current audit suffices to uncover any irregularities. Additionally, Nomad defends Minister Maria Browne against accusations of involvement in the scandal, noting her role in bringing the issue to light and the longstanding nature of the illegal activities. The rebuttal concludes with a promise to address Gisele Isaac’s accusations in a forthcoming Part 2.
