In the wake of Chet Greene’s article, ‘UPP’s Politically Motivated Memo Aimed at Undermining Anti-Corruption Reforms Unmasked,’ a pressing demand for transparency and accountability has emerged. The article underscores the necessity of a thorough reckoning before any meaningful reform can be achieved. To address systemic failures, critical questions must be answered: Were Treasury controls inadequate? Was procurement oversight lacking? Did Cabinet supervision falter? Without clarity on these issues, any anti-corruption efforts risk being superficial. The concerns extend beyond the Ministry of Public Works, raising alarms about potential irregularities in other government ministries shielded by secrecy and political influence. What is urgently needed is an independent, wide-ranging investigation, not a meticulously crafted public relations campaign. Prime Minister Gaston Browne’s reluctance to initiate such an inquiry has fueled speculation about potential conflicts of interest, particularly concerning his Ministry of Finance and his wife, Minister Maria Browne. The current narrative, framed as reform, is perceived by many as damage control masquerading as leadership. True accountability requires exposing all involved parties without bias, paving the way for genuine solutions. The people of Antigua and Barbuda deserve the truth, not political spin. The focus must shift from partisan blame to a steadfast commitment to integrity and transparency.
