Kelton Dalso says one controversy convinced him it was time to return to active politics.

Opposition candidate Kelton Dalso says the so-called “vehicle gate” controversy was a decisive factor in his decision to re-enter frontline politics, describing it as emblematic of deeper accountability failures in government.

Speaking during a Twin Island Media Live interview on Saturday, Dalso said the issue exposed blurred lines between state resources and private benefit, and reinforced his belief that public officials were not being held to proper standards.

Dalso said the controversy, which involved questions surrounding the procurement and use of government vehicles, reflected what he described as a broader culture of impunity, where explanations were offered without meaningful consequences or independent scrutiny.

He argued that the matter underscored a growing disconnect between political leadership and citizens, particularly when decisions involving public funds are treated as settled simply because an explanation is given.

Dalso said remaining on the sidelines in the face of such developments would have amounted to accepting what he views as the steady erosion of accountability in public life.

He added that the issue strengthened his resolve to join efforts aimed at restoring transparency and reinforcing clear boundaries between state authority and private interests.

  1. Like I always say , I would prefer follow a so-called “dunce man”, than a man that is blinded by greed and corruption, any day, and twice on Sundays.
    We have seen enough examples from history around the world,where corruption and greed has ruined many a governments and countries.

    Be warned again people.

  2. Something stinks about our politics at present. Controversy after Controversy, scandalous behaviour and a lack of transparency has firmly placed our politics in the gutter.

    I welcome the return of politicians like Kelton Dalso into the political arena, because the citizens of this country feel helpless when we want answers to serious fraudulent practices like the vehicle acquisitions procurement scandal.

    For Democratic practices to work, our elected Parliamentarians must be held accountable to the general public.

    We need more returnees like Kelton Dalso, Malaka Parker and Harold Lovell to halt the decline in accountability.

  3. @Brixtonian Harold Lovell cannot be termed a returnee like Kelton Dalso and Malaka Parker. In fact, Dalso is not a returnee either since he was never a member of the UPP. Malaka is the only returnee. Malaka moved from UPP to DNA and now back to UPP. I hope the conditions in the UPP are now well suited for her to stay. Party jumpers seem to be a common thing in our politics.

  4. so u 2 idiots above prefer dunces like…Algernon, Simon, and the one from All Saints E and St. Luke? Like Drumpf, the UPP loves the uneducated..

  5. Bloody hell #Antigua First!

    You are comparing potato’s with potatoes, when comparing how Malaka Parker, Kelton and Harold Lovell having returned to the UPP.

    It doesn’t matter how YOU try to dress it up with your semantics. They have returned to the UPP fold haven’t they?

    Again, bloody hell…

    You are such a paradox- if the UPP loves the uneducated, then why DOES THE ABLP does it’s recruiting from within the UPP: Winston Williams; Anthony Smith; Lamin Newton;Daryl Matthew;Kelvin Simon——-should I go on. Mind you, these are all unprincipled turncoats WITHOUT ANY PRINCIPLE.
    Would you rather be DUNCE or be TIEF????? The decision is yours 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  7. @ I Voted

    Funny that the ABLP does it’s recruitemnt from the ‘DUNCES’ of the UPP, LOL:

    Lamin, Winston, Anthony, Dwayne etc?

    Would you rather a DUNCE than a TIEF/HYPOCRITE?

  8. @Brixtonian it is not SEMANTICS it is COMMON SENSE. Tell me when did Harold Lovell leave the UPP. He resigned as leader of the UPP and said he will not run again. That is not leaving the UPP. And it was such a stupid decision on his part, now he is back after telling the world he is done with it.

  9. As I said in my earlier – and brilliant – comment. “Potato’s” 🥔 🥔 🥔 🥔 “Potatoes” 🥔 🥔🥔🥔

    😉
