It’s time for Prime Minister Gaston Browne to find a more productive weekend hobby. His latest antics—stirring strife within the UPP and suddenly playing “protector” of Jamale Pringle against Richard Lewis—are straight out of the Entertainment Central playbook.
Browne’s behavior is less about leadership and more about playing “top dog,” trying to hoosh (incite) a political dogfight. But the people of Antigua and Barbuda deserve better than petty provocations. With real issues like water shortages, APUA overbilling, and the high cost of living, it’s baffling that Browne chooses propaganda as his weekend pastime.

It’s ironic that the man who claims to champion strong leadership and unity is now resorting to divisive rhetoric to stir up strife within the United Progressive Party (UPP). Browne’s latest attempt to pit Richard Lewis against Jamale Pringle is a transparent distraction from the real issues plaguing the nation.
Instead of focusing on propaganda and political theater, Browne should be addressing the everyday struggles of citizens. Where is the water, Prime Minister? Households and businesses continue to face persistent water shortages. Meanwhile, mounting complaints about APUA’s overbilling practices are draining people’s pockets at a time when the cost of living is already sky-high.
Browne’s accusations against Lewis are both baseless and hypocritical. He claims Lewis is undermining Pringle’s leadership, but in the same breath, he dismisses Pringle as unqualified. If anyone is attempting to weaken the opposition’s image, it’s Browne himself. His words aren’t those of a confident leader but of someone clearly nervous and unsettled. If Browne were as secure as he claims to be, he wouldn’t need to police the internal dynamics of the UPP.

Perhaps Browne should turn his attention to his own party’s cracks and internal conflicts. It’s no secret that tension exists among his “handmaid” and “altar boys” at Pointe FM. He should focus on cleaning up his own house instead of throwing stones at others.
Leadership is about service, not spectacle. People want results, not rhetoric. Browne should spend less time trying to be a commentator on UPP affairs and more time solving the problems his administration has failed to address — like water, fair billing practices, and transparency. Antiguans and Barbudans deserve better.
From a man who claims he was duped into forming a national airline by two “partners” with more skill in printing than aviation, Browne’s track record speaks for itself. His aggressive attitude hasn’t paid off with investors, as evidenced by the many “ground fakings” that never materialized.
If the Prime Minister wants to talk about “good governance,” he should start by practicing it. His energy would be better spent ensuring citizens have access to basic necessities and holding his administration to a higher standard of accountability. Until then, his critiques of the opposition amount to nothing more than noise from a leader who seems more afraid of being challenged than of being wrong.

This is no time for sideshows. Antigua and Barbuda needs serious leadership, not a clumsy ringmaster trying to control the circus.
