Opposition Leader Jamale Pringle has firmly denied any involvement in the ongoing government vehicle procurement controversy, dismissing the claims as politically motivated attempts to divert public attention.
In an audio statement, Pringle said those alleging his involvement should present evidence and take responsibility for their claims.
“If it is that you’re saying Jamale Pringle is involved and you have evidence of that, the person should have put their name on that document and stand by what they’re saying,” he said.
Pringle challenged the government to allow an independent inquiry not only into the vehicle matter but also into the operations of the Public Works Department, suggesting wider irregularities may exist.
“Let’s have an independent inquiry not only into that scandal, but into the Public Works Department and we get all the information. Let us not just look at it in isolation,” he added.
He noted that calls for his resignation are premature and baseless, stressing that only verifiable evidence should guide accountability.
“Once they can own it and they have the evidence, then let us call the inquiry into the matter. Too often we’re being distracted with these red herrings,” Pringle said.
The Opposition Leader’s comments come amid mounting public debate over the vehicle purchase controversy, which has drawn scrutiny across political lines.

Absolutely your Honourable Jamal Pringle. This is pure distraction and deflection.
Has there been anytime when the ABLP is embroiled in controversy, that somehow they always try to drag the UPP into their conundrums.
So predictable and underhand by them.
I mentioned in an earlier ANR correspondence, that if the Prime Minister or anyone else with these scurrilous accusations against Mr Pringle, and have any substantial evidence on the ongoing scandalous vehicle procurement, then they must take the EVIDENCE to the police authorities, and stop shouting from their media rooftops … AND INFORM THE POLICE!!!
Hmmm. Heated scandal in the history of Antigua and Barbuda. Who’s really doing the distraction here?
Blah blah blah goes the black sheep. What else won’t empty vessels say? They may just be the biggest part of the entire vehicle scandal! Take everything for what it is
I say this unequivocally. LOCAL BANKS are/were also part of the scandal. They to have been colluding. This probe needs to be independent and must be wide in scope.
They let the thing with Romantic Rythms slide no inquiry .The Bus from Korea investigation what has become of that one where deliberate changes were made has gone silent now this let the chips fall where the may do what is needed to be done.
oh you mean the WILMOTH DANIEL STRIPPER POLE BUS???
JACKIE QUINN & loveLIE REGISTERED THE BUSES IN THEIR PERSONAL NAMES. Those buses were intended to boost the SCHOOLBUS FLEET for our CHILDREN, but greedy politicians keep them for themselves!!!
If he’s involved or for that matter anyone else, just do the dang investigation then GB.
I for one don’t give a hoot who is involved, they all need to go to jail. This is blatant thievery of the peoples purse.
So bring the the independent investigation please, quick and fast.
It’s a better outcome than murdering people like how they murdered Asot. If Gatson Browne had the guts to bring a investigation into other allegations, maybe Asot would still be alive.
I wouldn’t be surprised one bit if another high profile member is taken out over this, not one bit. So the GG needs to do his job before this spill over and someone else lose their lives.
So watch your back Pringle, please. This ABLP is as wicked as they come. The previous commissioner had to run from their corruption, so did the Comptroller..these men had to run for their lives. Asot wasn’t that lucky.
Antigua and Barbuda’s credibility has been tested too many times. If there’s nothing to hide, then why not open the books?
Accountability matters. No matter who’s involved, the truth should come out for everyone to see.
Finally someone is saying what the whole country thinking. Every time a scandal pop up, they say it’s just ‘procedural’. We need a real inquiry this time no more excuses!
Pringle act like his shit dont stink, you’re not an honest man. You are good friends with Baba too all of you are corrupt and dishonest alll of you!!
