Harold Lovell, the former Finance Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, has urged for a comprehensive and independent investigation into a $15 million vehicle procurement scandal. Lovell highlighted concerns over fairness, accountability, and transparency, emphasizing the need for an impartial inquiry to address the allegations. The scandal involves the purchase and distribution of hundreds of vehicles without Cabinet approval, raising serious questions about governance and oversight. Lovell stressed that no individual should be judged in the court of public opinion, calling for a fair process where all facts are properly examined. He criticized the selective use of information to exonerate some while targeting others, particularly in media discussions. Lovell also expressed unease about key figures allegedly involved in the scandal remaining unaccountable, underscoring the importance of holding all public officials to the same standards. He framed the investigation as a critical step toward restoring public trust in government accountability. Linking the scandal to broader governance issues, Lovell warned that without true transparency and justice, corruption will continue to thrive. As of now, the government has not responded to Lovell’s call for an independent probe.
