Opposition Leader Jamale Pringle
The United Progressive Party (UPP) has announced plans to host a public town hall meeting on Tuesday, October 21, at Freedom Hall on Lower Newgate Street, beginning at 7:00 p.m., to discuss what it describes as one of the most troubling corruption scandals in recent memory — the “Vehicle Gate” affair.
The meeting, which is open to the public, will focus on the growing controversy surrounding the alleged unauthorized purchase and transfer of government vehicles, and the party’s call for an independent investigation into the matter.
The party says the situation has far-reaching implications for governance and accountability in Antigua and Barbuda.
The Prime Minister’s own admission, the fallout from the scandal has already resulted in the resignation of Comptroller of Customs Raju Boddu and the transfer of senior officials within the Ministry of Public Works.
Prime Minister Browne revealed that officers from the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda and the Transport Board have been implicated.
The UPP likened the developing scandal to some of the nation’s most infamous cases.
At least the UPP doing what opposition supposed to do — hold the government accountable. We can’t just let this one slide
This whole thing stink. Too many big names involved and too little transparency. Time for a full inquiry, not just talk
I just hope the town hall don’t turn into pure political grandstanding. People want facts, not speeches
This scarecrow leader is always looking attention but not giving his constituency any. Why don’t you haul your ass to the back of the line and let people the real ones handle real business
Whether you red or blue, this vehicle scandal serious. Public money can’t be treated like personal pocket change
If this truly bigger than the Medical Benefits scandal, then we in deep trouble as a country
Independent investigation is the only way the public can trust the outcome. No more fox guarding the henhouse!
Let me see how many people will attend
UPP right this can’t be swept under no carpet. Independent investigation needed, not no in-house probe

What we need is a message board to report the vehicle’s model, license plate- and a telephone number to call and inquire. Who will be the first to report a man or woman who stole from his countryman? Name and shame them!!
