AU Browne another Business owner and well known supporter and activist of the SKN Labour Party supported Pemberton’s outcry and expressed similar concerns regarding the Opposition Party. Browne used social media to highlight Pemberton’s issue and indicated that he to had similar issues with the Labour Party. In his response in support of Pemberton,  Browne posted the following on his Facebook Page “Sadly for sometime I’ve been feeling the same way. It’s a shame. In my case, In march last year the treasurer made an agreement to pay off the debt in ten months, which wouldhave been at the end of last year. He then paid only half of the monthly installment and nothing else. Unless I get paid I will not be supporting them again. You can’t treat your supporters with disdain and expect their support.
