Well let me say this, Antigua need a separate entity that has no ties to the Police commissioner that can be run by the head prosecutor known as internal affairs and seek justice. Browne need to be suspended with only half of his pay until the investigation is over. But wait Antigua is label as a cesspool of corrupted officials.

Shouldn't it be just as easy to get them back from the current President?

In our small Island where we are so closely linked to one another, situations like this will not go anywhere? Without making any accusations one knows the various relationships that existed between certain political figures and the Food City property sale. So here again I have to disappoint anyone who wants to believe that something might come out of this investigation. Case close, file lost or whatever. But ie nah go no weh. Dead end.

SlyThatGuy, MP Benjamin is not a senator (member of the upper house). He is instead an elected parliamentarian (member of the lower house). He also serves on the opposition side and is not a government minister. If you were to examine the place where we inherited our current system, you will see the same practice where private members have the option of moonlighting (see www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2002/dec/01/uk.houseofcommons ** yes dated). The same thing happens currently in Australia www.theaustralian.com.au/news/breaking-news/sa-greens-to-push-ban-on-mps-moonlighting/story-fn3dxiwe-1226591513362. Once the person is doing a proper job and avoids conflicts, I don't see an issue.

Morris,That's a very interesting and thought provoking question you've asked. I think the reason why those types of things continue to go unchallenged is that those in a position to put a stop to them simply lack the ability to act with effectiveness. Something too which I often wonder about is how attorney Steadroy 'Cutie' Benjamin can work for the government in the capacity of senator and still be allowed to work independently as a lawyer(and even represent cases against the government he works for). This kind of stuff can only exist in Antigua & Barbuda because in a civilize country, he ether is a senator or a lawyer - not one instant he is a senator and the very next,he's a goddamn lawyer. The only thing I can say is responsible for that is incompetence.

I do really hope that those missing weapons are not being used to commit crimes.Just a thought.

You're absolutely,100 % correct, NOT...
the DEMONIC system which controls our Governing body loves thoughts such as yours, and of course, speech which is free can be foolish at times.
An investigation of this magnitude should never become a COLD CASE.
It involves the highest level of management which is responsible for National Security
What you have suggested is food for the PARASITIC NATURE of Our Society
I'll leave you with these words
..
HYPOCRITES AND PARASITES, WILL COME UP AND TAKE A BITE, and Satan loves blood; there's no wonder many in Our Society have become his meal ticket



.but JAH NO DEAD

In cases like these there needs to be a specil prosecuter because the police can not police itself.

What another embar**ment to the police force and government to have the chair of the police service commission under criminal investigation and still in his position. What a conflict of Internest. The chair must step aside until the investigation is over. But my friends, the investigation will never be over....the police chief will drag it out ad noseum...to protect the principals. When the police say the investigation is ongoing, it means they haven't got enough evidence to charge someone! They know what happened and who did what, but they don't have enough to charge. But still winters must resign until his name is cleared...

A local firearms dealer is Chairman of the Police Service Commission and Past President of a gun club? Seriously!!!!!!!

And he is being investigated by the Police? Seriously?

And Errol Cort and Baldwin Spencer still on the job? Seriously?

I pray for Antigua and the manifest corruption!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

And if you believe this you'll believe anything.

I don't see why Caribarena would want to report on this old case when it is fully aware that it has no new information to provide. Why waste the people's time with recycled news.

Well i'm watching keenly to see the out come of this case. I know in Anu money talks,poor man jailed ,rich man walks

Is Vere Brown still the Commissioner of Police??????

Commissioner Vere Browne is one HARD man to find, isn't he?

dirty officials,dirty cops,dry dirty island.shame on this island bunch of scums.

How can the Chairman of the Police Service Commission, with power to terminate the services of Police Officers or stifle promotion for active officers, be investigated by the Police, and not asked to relinquish his position as Chairman, is beyond me. In any democracy, the Chairman would have been asked to resign, pending the outcome of the investigations. That procedure is in place for Police Officers.

What happens next, if the Police decide to file criminal charges against their virtual employer? We are treading on a very slippery surface, and the lack of expediency in this strange saga ought to be evident to the PM and Minister of National Security who are mum on this very vexing issue.

Will the Task Force set-up by the Minister of National Security headed by a Captain of the Defense Force look into such matters? Will the ONDCP, which reports to the said Minister investigate this matter?

When "we" have POWER and AUTHORITY, "we" can always say TO HELL WITH WHAT THE PUBLIC THINKS. WE ARE IN CONTROL.

Until.....!

Did no one in "leadership position" in the Police Force ever consider Winter's PSC position and his business dealings to present conflicts of interest? Absolutely amazing how these type of things continue to go unchallenged at every level in ANU.

Why the slow pace, are they afraid that some I leadership positions could be implicated? This was/is a major breach in in operations and requires priority efforts. In case they forget, these guns can hold and fire lots of bullets that can kill many innocent people. Perhaps the fight to reduce the spate of gun crimes is against some of these very weapons.

Antigua FAST AND FURIUS TOO?

When the police fail to get rid of those rotten apples it break down the moral of those good ones.
