Honourable Asot Michael M.P. addresses Parliament on June 24th, 2013
Madame Speaker, these are without a doubt, the days of darkness in the democratic governance of Antigua and Barbuda. With absolutely no sense of shame… with no remorse whatsoever, this government of outgoing Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer has somehow found the gall to come to this Honorable House with a bill to legitimize the actions of the Prime Minister and his political appointee to the Chair of the Electoral Commission in the last 2 years that the Court of Appeal has found to be null and void and of no legal effect.

To the Residents of the constituency of St. Peter By Hon. Asot Michael
First let me say thanks for your ver y warm embrace over the past few years. I have traveled a long and difficult road in that time, but with your support, and God’s guidance, I have stayed the course. When in 1997 Hon. Lester Bird, our Leader, invited me to join his government as Chief of Staff in The Office of the Prime Minister, I did not then contemplate that four years later I would have been entering elective politics. Indeed, when in 1999 he promoted me to the Cabinet and made me the Minister of Public Works, Communications and St. John’s Development…

The Black Condition, here and now BY Leonard Tim Hector
Whether one likes him or not, Senator Asot Michael, had the courage and the requisite passion, in an impassioned speech, to tell the nation of Antigua and Barbuda like it is. And the TV tape of that occasion should be kept in the national archives. It may prove a defining moment. Remember no government leader has ever said the like here in 35 years of self-government. Only one political party, ACLM, still in the wilderness of the damned, has ever said that and more. In a very definite way Senator Asot Michael passionately indicted what has passed for politics here, by his recurring reference to “for 36 years.” The thirty-five years of self government, have been in essence the same as the preceding year, and the preceding 364 years back to 1632…

Hon Asot Michael speaks at the St. Joseph Academy Graduation Ceremony 2011
I begin with my favourite poet: A VISIT FROM WISDOM : ‘In the stillness of night Wisdom came and stood by my bed. She gazed upon me like a tender mother and wiped away my tears, and said : ‘I have heard the cry of your spirit and I am come to comfort it. Open your heart to me and I shall fill it with light. Ask of me and I shall show you the way of truth.’ – KHALIL GIBRAN
