Senior Police Officer Reassigned to New Security Role Amid Ongoing Vehiclegate Scandal

1. So, nobody is going to be held accountable for this wrongdoing? Just re-assigned? What nonsense is this?

2. Someone steals, major theft, not a misdeamor but a felony, and you promote them to an elite police unit that covers Intelligence and national security unit?

   Since I have begged for the creation of such unit, it is now being alleged that a criminal is head of what suppose to be the most prestigious and elite policing unit in Antigua?

   He is head of what suppose to be like a secret service unit, intelligence and national security unit?

   I am so disappointed when I hear people say that politicians and police can investigate themselves.

   This unit should be filled with the most ethical, disciplined, educated, and energetic persons.

   When UPP wins, they should create this unit since ABLP refuse to create this vitally important unit to protect national security, government officials and property.

3. A “Ministry of Legal Affairs” reassignment?!

   Translation: “This vehicle procurement acquisitions procurement will eventually be swept under the ABLP carpet”.

   Are Antiguans now living in a parallel universe?

   Brixtonian STILL the BEST of the BEST!

4. The first agreement is to be impeccable with your words … we shall see how the “GREED” of money destroy them.. they shall also see ⏰…

5. These are the kinds of injustices and wrongdoing that citizens must stand up for. When a government employee misbehaves or steals, reassignment to another department is not a legally sound consequence. The reassignment is an attempt to avoid formal disciplinary or legal procedures and a circumvention of established rules of public sector codes of conduct. Failing to address “theft” with appropriate severity will result in further loss of confidence in the public sector and this person would forever be looked upon and fingered as a “rat” no matter where they are reassigned to.

6. Another Abbott ?

7. Shuffling up won’t fix the matter at hand!! The damage has been done and that’s something the government has to face! Let’s hear the update on the scandal!!

8. Every day this Vehiclegate story gets more tangled. Creating new positions for people involved doesn’t exactly scream accountability.

9. This government always says they’re being “financially responsible” but refuses an independent investigation. Something’s off.

10. I hope this isn’t another case of moving people around to quiet things down. The public deserves transparency. We know how the government does things

11. @Food4thought
    That is exactly what is happening here. But remember BIG thieves do not love to see other thieves with long bags, they just switch them around so they can theif a little less. Maybe they are being advised by Faithful National #1

12. The Big belly DA man with the scampish look on his face that sits close to Wade and Jeffers is now the master scamp in charge of catching scamps….Jolly Good!!!

13. Can a leopard change its spots?

14. This shows you all are not respected. This shows you are considered fools.
    This is like Donald Trump saying: “I can shot a man walking down Fifth Avenue and get away with it”. He still got elected twice.
    This shows The current government can do anything they want and get away with it; for they think the overwhelming majority of you are simple minded fools, just like most of the people who voted for Donald Trump
    You are just a people to be pissed on and they tell you it’s raining and you believe them.

    What do you expect when you have a DDP who was selected and the AG said he will not tell who is his selection and there was no public outcry.

    Were you’ll expecting an independent person in that role as DPP after the AG totally disrespected and disrespected for any public opinion.
    Since taking up the role tge AG has been like a stealth.
    It’s another example of the Government thinking you are nothing but fools when none of you take AG to task and put pressure on him to do his job while he sits in the woodwork?
    What do you expect when Antigua and Barbuda has NO Police Commissioner for over 6 months.
    An assistant Commissioner for how many months after he was recommended by the Police Civil Commission (?)
    What do you expect when a senior police officer that is reported to be the center of the “Vehiclegate” scandal has been reassigned to a new post within the Ministry of Legal Affairs, Public Safety, Immigration and Labour.

    The senior officer is now responsible for The role involves overseeing government-wide security operations, including surveillance, access control, emergency response, and the protection of infrastructure and sensitive data and is now the Officer-in-Charge of Surveillance and Security position.
    This is like Antigua and Barbuda CIA & NSA or Scotland Yard and MI3.
    Someone who is accused of malfeasance is now in charge of national security.
    He should be considered a National risk.
    Nuff said.

15. I was going to say something, but I have totally forgotten, because I think I’ve ran out of words to describe this administration.

    All I can say, is that the scourge continues.
    I have been screaming on here for years now that the math ain’t mathing with this government, and like I’ve said many times on here, is that I have been never wrong about GB, never.

    Three more years folks, and it will be a long long long three years..there is much more to come..all will be revealed, trust me.

16. I just think UPP destroyed the chance it had to make a point on this corruption scandal, this nonsense of adding a suffix to the car scandal calling it “gate” which is the added suffix in reference to president Nixon 1972 scandal is trivializing and pro American, what the hell does the suffix added have to do with the reality on the ground? All it does is create the impression in the court of public opinion it’s an opposition fabrication since it is also decorated with catchie phrases, had it been handled properly, the prosecutory documents would have name this ostensibly criminal act.
    The upp was to instead work closely with inside sources and leak documents to the public as the late Tim Hector newspaper use to do, but I forget there is no real journalist in Antigua anymore, that’s the reason the derricks imported some during the inauguration of observer radio, this scandal will die a natural death because of this trivializing by the opposition that is uninspiring to the populace, and Gaston is getting the best advise on handling the matter and defusing it. We the people must acknowledge that there is really some serious corruption going on in the Gaston brown associates and state capture by negligence of the prime minister to protect the fiduciary responsibility place in him by the unsuspecting citizens, Gaston had a stint in working in one a the most corrupt small banking institution called swiss American bank that only hired people that was connected to comrades of the ALP, so it was not because you were qualified, that bank was used by the Russian mafias and senior ministers of the ALP at the time to launder monies, you can remember the scandal of monies been paid from the sale of gas and petroleum products to two senior ALP politicians accounts along with a youngster in his teens at the time being the front man to do the actual transfer document where the name of asot was ostensibly involved? And don’t forget the ambassador Ron saunders.
    So Gaston has learned some complicated money embezzlement techniques since over the years of working with these Russian and politicians mafia in money laundering he has brought it over into government, developing instruments like namco and other means of legally moving monies without a trace, and the CIP monies from passport sales stashed away in some offshore bank account that only the finance minister knows of, if he were to die the auditor general knows nothing about balances of this account , no Antiguan or barbudans citizens knows how much passport is sold and for what price, this gives room for a state capture and corruption of the civil servants and judiciary where everyone is attracted to working with Gaston, not for nation building but self enrichment and upward mobility, so you have opposition figures defecting to join Gaston, because it is felt he hold the bag of largesse to give as he does to maintain himself in power, he has even forcibly manipulated the electoral process of having his wife elected into politics to keep all instrument of power within his purview. One day with the right move it shall come crashing down, Gaston had celebrated Pringle as the opposition leader because with his lack of experience he could get off with all that he is doing, but with a more experience and academically equipped political entrant in Harold Lovell it spells trouble for him. You see the ALP ministers and especially a young man like Gaston can’t help but imitate the god father of this corruption in the person of the late Lester bird, they idolized him as a legend, Gaston was barely out of pampers when scandals after scandals rock Antigua through these bird brothers of which Gaston has well read of in the newspapers and internal public documents he is able to see in government where the police and judiciary seem to sweep under the carpet. The opposition under a young man like Jamal Pringle without the institutional knowledge will never unseat Gaston brown because he presides over a state capture where every arm of government is nonfunctional for self enrichment, you haven’t heard from kernel croft at the FRC or ONDCP, but it will be some of the biggest revelation to come in the future when the people finally speaks with their votes like in 2004, and these compromised civil servants and politicians will answer to the law.

17. Crooks protecting crooks.
