In a decisive move to enhance transparency and accountability, Prime Minister Gaston Browne of Antigua and Barbuda has announced that any surplus vehicles identified during the ongoing audit of the government’s fleet will be auctioned off. This initiative is part of a broader effort to streamline public asset management and recover misallocated funds. Browne revealed that one car dealer has already committed to repaying $10 million to the government, marking a significant step in addressing irregularities tied to past vehicle procurements. The comprehensive audit seeks to meticulously document all vehicles purchased in recent years, verify their distribution across various ministries, and ensure the judicious use of public resources. This measure underscores the administration’s commitment to fiscal responsibility and combating inefficiency within the public sector.
