St. Philip South MP and attorney Sherfield Bowen says the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), the police, and the Integrity Commission each have the authority and obligation to investigate the alleged multimillion-dollar government vehicle scandal, urging them to act without delay.
Speaking at the United Progressive Party’s “Vehicle Gate” town hall on October 21, Bowen said there is no legal or constitutional barrier preventing any of the three institutions from launching inquiries into what has been described as one of the country’s largest corruption allegations.
“The police can act, the DPP can act, and the Integrity Commission can act,” Bowen declared, stressing that all have clear statutory powers to initiate investigations independently of political influence. He argued that the evidence already in the public domain is sufficient to justify immediate action.
“So long as [the DPP] has enough information that would guide him to the need to continue and to mount the investigation, he should begin,” Bowen said. “At this very moment… there is enough information in the public domain that will cause him to get on his horse and get people, hire forensic accountants, whatever he needs to do.”
Bowen also pointed out that the police are legally mandated to investigate suspected offenses, while the Integrity Commission has jurisdiction to probe matters involving public officials and possible corruption. He argued that inaction by any of these bodies would raise serious questions about accountability and institutional integrity.
The forum, which included contributions from former senior civil servants and retired law enforcement officers, focused on what speakers called systemic weaknesses in government oversight and financial management. Attendees called for full transparency and for independent agencies to move swiftly to restore public trust.

Boss face look lakka one Haitian gang leader
with his GUN, he robbed this nation of some good Human Resources….Dunno why upp don’t keep him on the back-burner and out of the spotlight.
BOWEN ..Who would listen to a CONVICTED MURDERER. Bowen should be still in JAIL. How can BOWEN still practice Law in Antigua and Lawyer from Montserrat cannot practice law.
“They heard what sounded like a firecracker. Shortly thereafter, Constable Charles went towards his vehicle which was parked in the vicinity of Bowen’s office. He saw Bowen sitting on the steps of the building which housed his office. He saw Ms. Barthley lying on the ground not far from his motor car.”
Murderer! Blood is on your shoulders
Kill I today you cannot kill I tomorrow
Murder! Your insides must be hollow
How does it feel to take the life of another
Murderer! Blood is on your shoulder
Kill me today you cannot kill I tomorrow
Murder! Your insides must be hollow
How does it feel to take a life?
Yes, you can hide from man but not your conscience
You eat the bread of sorrow
Drink the wine of violence
Allow yourself to be conquered by the serpent
Why did you disobey the first commandment
Walk through the valley I fear no pestilence
God is my witness and He is my evidence
Lift up mine eyes from whence cometh help
Dem coulda never escape this judgement
Murderer! Blood is on your shoulder
Kill I today you cannot kill I tomorrow
Murder! Your insides must be hollow
How does it feel to take a life?
What does Bowen have to do in this vehicle scandal ? That is why Antigua will never be better because they like to condone wrong doings. Bowen was charged, taken before a court and the court has ruled on his matter. Concentrate on the matter before the nation. There is a vehicle scandal on hand and not Bowen this or that. We want to know who rob the government of its finances. Stop straying from the subject matter.
A mere 5 years for HUMAN LIFE???? You think it’s one of Pringle Ded Dog that he shoot? c’mon Little “Stupid” Johnny. Why don’t you let him shoot your daughter or your pregnanat sister eh?
Obviously all of the poster’s on this topic are one and the same. Employees of Gaston working as ANR Editors and posters.
ANR you too are corrupted and is a fraud, just like American Tabloids; and yes just like Tabloids do serve a vast majority of people, influence them like fools to the slaughter and food for fodder.
Money talks and fuckery walks. Someone mentioned Haitian, Gangster and of course Bowen ass wipe, who talk about TESSA on so many ways but be reminded and forewarned, Antigua will not get yo say the Civil War in Haiti stage but smaller armed conflicts like what are happening in some Jamaican, Mexican, American neighborhoods GANGLAND WARS will be COMING SOON to a neighborhood near you. Especially, if Gaston, his wife Maria along with the others caught up in these across the Government are thoroughly investigated, charged, tried and convicted, there be disturbances which the island are not accustomed to, and will not handle effectively.
