Amid mounting pressure from opposition parties, Public Works Minister Maria Bird Browne has firmly declared her intention to remain in office, dismissing calls for her resignation as politically driven. The controversy stems from a $15 million government vehicle purchase that allegedly bypassed standard procurement protocols. Speaking publicly for the first time since the scandal broke, Browne addressed the issue following Thursday’s Throne Speech, asserting her commitment to her role and the public she serves. The United Progressive Party has intensified its campaign against her, organizing protests, motorcades, and public meetings demanding her ouster. Browne, however, remains steadfast, emphasizing her focus on fulfilling her ministerial responsibilities despite the ongoing scrutiny.
