Former LIAT employee Captain Niel Cave has said that he is going full throttle with a defamation case against Antigua and Barbuda’s Prime Minister Gaston Browne who he accused of tarnishing his “good name”.
Cave said in an interview with reporters in St Johns on Wednesday that he is in the process of filing a defamation lawsuit against Browne, following statements he made on his radio station over the weekend.
Apart from the alleged libellous remarks, Cave said Browne has not represented the office of prime minister with professionalism.
“I am not surprised but appalled and embarrassed for PM Browne because of how he behaves. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the office of the prime minister which in my opinion he has not and continues not to be serving well by making these kinds of statements and behaving in a classless manner,” Cave said
Prime Minister Browne has denied defaming Cave. He insists that the former LIAT staff is simply seeking public attention.
