ST. JOHN’S, Antigua — The United Progressive Party (UPP) is set to commence its island-wide motorcade today, Sunday, November 16, at 10 a.m. from Rising Sun Field. The event, described by the party as a peaceful protest, aims to galvanize public support for an independent investigation into what the UPP has termed the ‘Vehicle-Gate’ scandal. The opposition party alleges significant misconduct within the Ministry of Public Works, insisting that only an external probe can uncover what they claim to be a multi-million-dollar conspiracy. This demonstration follows a week of setbacks, as police initially denied approval for a whistle-stop and motorcade planned for November 9. However, the UPP later received permission for today’s event. Party officials are urging supporters and the general public to join the motorcade as it sets off this morning, emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability in government operations.
