Gov’t brings new initiative to counter misinformation
The government has launched a new campaign which it said is expected to, among other things, communicate its great achievements to the public.
Premier Dr Natalio Wheatley yesterday announced the introduction of the Government Business at Its Best initiative which he said is in line with his government’s commitment to transparency and accountability.
With many of the recommendations coming from the Commission of Inquiry (COI) report either completed or well underway, Dr Wheatley said his government is now setting up structures and practices to ensure that it continues to not only do things right, but to also keep doing things in a better way.
“We are seeking to ensure that the COI implementation framework grows into something deeper and more meaningful as we shift into completion mode,” the Premier told reporters at a press conference yesterday.
He said the new Government Business at Its Best initiative, which was also described as a modern governance approach, is not only aimed at informing and educating stakeholders on the implementation of the recommendations, but is expected to aid in providing necessary information to stakeholders.
The Premier further explained that the initiative’s aim is also to eliminate the spread of any inaccurate, misinformed or misleading perceptions about the work that the government and public officers have been doing to implement the 49 recommendations coming from the COI, the progress that has been made, and the government’s other commitments and achievements.
“Our reporting will henceforth go beyond simply reporting on recommendations completed to communicating our overarching theme, government business at its best, through our 10 key messages,” the Premier shared.

MALARKEY
This part won’t take long, but go ahead we are listening while you “communicate…great achievements”
Well who will bring the initiative to counter the misinformation that Government brings? When you listen to some of these press conferences, the misinformation is rampant, but who really can hold them accountable? Hypocrisy at best.
A large sock stuffed down the throat of the Lincoln Tunnel – that would help keep her quiet.
Wow…… these guys are so busy with all sorts of non-essential matters.
Just get work done! We will notice.
Currently you’re doing absolutely nothing, so it doesn’t matter what you will communicate.
“Our reporting will henceforth go beyond simply reporting on recommendations completed to communicating our overarching theme, government business at its best, through our 10 key messages,” the Premier shared.
Thats an example of great communication is it ?
This guy couldn’t cut bush.
How about actually doing something for you to communicate…..like fixing the infrastructure so that we can have running water & electricity, not to mention a proper health & education system. Human basic needs instead of living like a war ridden country.
Focus on the priorities & stop pulling at straws!!
When is this utter foolishness going to stop? Something really needs to be done about this government…We are sinking deeper everyday….soon we will be to the point of no return.
is there misinformation coming from sister island of anegada too? because last we check ferry leaving people behind on vg dock or refusing to carry passengers last week, our tourism product gonna dive soon since essential services like transport and proper medical are mediocre, oh and education, the gate and building still looks like last year and the year before and the year before that. you guys is joke, we the people are sick and tired. wait and see if september reach and you guys start school year the way it ended. when teachers strike next we the people wont be shock because a safe and comfortable and healthy workplace is not too much to ask
487 people in the VI voted for Natalio Wheatley. Our leader. The voice of the people. 487 people.
Ahhh
The propaganda machine is gearing up. Watch the state media spew forth misinformation and obscure facts to hide the real problems.
Dictatorships always try to control the narrative
That’ll be the day.
Many paid to do so
Even less would have voted for Sindee ‘’Lincoln”
Lie more
“eliminate the spread of any inaccurate, misinformed or misleading perceptions about the work that the government and public officers have been doing . . .”<<<<What no more freedom of speech, in the BVI?
Here we go, all is lost in the BVI when the people can not speak out.
“Our reporting will henceforth go beyond simply reporting on recommendations completed to communicating our overarching theme, government business at its best, through our 10 key messages,” the Premier shared.”
The overarching strategy identifies the main communications activities that will be deployed, communication vehicles, key players, and some form of timeline.
what is the timeline?
What are the 10 key messages?
Personally, I want VIP k!II all ayo.
