Fahie ‘sent word’ to Malone that he was OK
Territorial At-Large Representative Carvin Malone said he has received correspondence from former Premier, Andrew Fahie now that he (Fahie) is out on bail.
When a member of the local media asked Malone yesterday whether he contacted his colleague and longtime friend since he was released on a one-million-dollar bail bond, Malone said Fahie reached out through a third party.
“I got word that he sent to make sure that I was informed that he inquired about me, and he wanted to let me know that he was okay. I have not had the opportunity to speak with him directly, but he sent word,” Malone said.
Malone was then pressed on whether his decision to resign from the government had anything to do with Fahie and the At-Large Representative replied, “my loyalty is to the people of the Virgin Islands”.
“My loyalty has always been that. [The Virgin Islands Party] was founded back in 1971. We made sure that at the end of the day, people were the centre of the party. When we amended the constitution in 2000 and 2006, people first were always the centre of this,” Malone said.
“My loyalty remained because I had the opportunity, the golden opportunity, not as [party] president but to work with the late great Lavity Stoutt. He passed in 1995. I had the opportunity to work with Ralph T. O’Neal, he passed. I had the opportunity to work with Honourable Julian Fraser and the opportunity to work with Honourable Andrew Fahie. So, at the end of this particular period, the loyalty has always been to the people of the Virgin Islands,” the former Health Minister said.
He reiterated that Fahie’s current situation – being accused of drug trafficking and money laundering in the United States – has no bearing on any decision he (Malone) has made or will make.
“It cannot because at the end of the day; his situation he has to deal with that because this particular move [to resign from government] is to make sure that the people of the Virgin Islands are represented,” Malone said.

The word sent was “CROSS” and I wonder what word was sent to the now Premier?
Fahie and Malone as thick as theives.?
I think you just signed your resignation from politics Carvin.
If the head coach had given Carvin deputy it would’ve been more loyalty displayed but he had prefer to give it to Judas who hijacked the party and phased out all the originals
There goes the VIP party…Stott rolling in his grave.
who is stott
Hear this joker! Who cares who you got word from. And what is the relevance? Andrew is no help to you, unless hes bringing the cows in the road. Go take a seat.
You should be cursing the reporter that asked the question and not Carvin for answering.
Popcorn with extra butter for me please. Those were the same Carvin’s words when he saw drama with other parties. He was extremely happy. You see how life turns? Now we don’t have enough popcorn or butter for what we are seeing with him and his vip clan.
Yes, he was always taking pleasure in other people’s drama….now, look how we are eating popcorn and watching him lose LOL well, I guess he can now have lots of time to chill on the beach and post sh@+ on facebook
Nobody cares. You and Fraser will just take up empty space until the HOA is dissolved.
DID YOU ( LOYALTY ) ❓ ? HOW CAN YOU MANIPULATE THE PEOPLE AND STILL BE LOYAL ? MY FRIEND , ALWAYS REMEMBER , WE CAME INTO THIS WORLD WITH TWO EMPTY ? AND WE WILL LEAVE THE SAME WAY
