The Antiguan Cabinet, under the leadership of Prime Minister Gaston Browne, has reaffirmed its stringent 2023 policy regarding the procurement of motor vehicles for government use. The policy mandates that all vehicle purchases must be explicitly authorized by a Cabinet decision. Any vehicle delivered or consigned to the government without this legal authorization will be considered null and void, absolving the government of any financial liability for associated costs or charges. Additionally, even with Cabinet approval, all purchase requests must undergo proper processing by the purchasing authority, with payment vouchers prepared and approved before vehicle delivery. This regulation applies uniformly to all vehicle suppliers and vendors, with no exceptions unless specifically approved by the Cabinet. The policy aims to ensure transparency, accountability, and fiscal responsibility in government vehicle acquisitions.
