I’m not following Andrew Fahie’s case in the United States
Opposition legislator Marlon Penn has said he is not following the cocaine scandal involving former Premier Andrew Fahie and his two co-accused Oleanvine and Kadeem Maynard.
Penn made the statement when host of the Morning Braff radio show, Floyd ‘Heritage’ Burnett, asked him to give his opinion on Fahie’s request to have his court case pushed from July 17 to November of this year, as he needs more time to prepare for his appearance.
“Yes, Honourable Penn, were you surprised when you heard our good friend Alturo (Andrew Fahie) say he needs more time?” Burnett asked.
“I wasn’t following the case, you know? So I don’t know whether I was surprised or not,” responded Penn who served as Opposition Leader while Fahie was still Premier of the Virgin Islands.
He gave no other comments on the matter.
The former Premier is on house arrest in a Miami apartment as he prepares to stand trial alone following a decision made by his two accused to plead guilty to conspiracy to import cocaine, in exchange for lighter sentences.
Fahie, who is standing strong on his “not guilty plea”, is taking time to gather all the necessary information he will need to fight the case that will determine the trajectory of his life. In his request to push his court date to November, Fahie asked the court to fulfill an earlier request to reveal the identity of the prosecution’s confidential source that had given evidence against him.
Elected officials and public figures have largely shied away from commenting on Fahie’s trial.
Former House Speaker Julian Willock recently spoke frankly about the matter, stating that Andrew Fahie did not get adequate support from the government when he was arrested on drug-related charges in the United States last year.

Me thinks he is following the case very carefully.
What a l**r. This is why my NDP cannot improve with him leading.
Congrats number 8, I always knew you were one of a kind. You are the only person in tola who can read that not following. If you don’t want to comment say no comment. Why is the first thing out the hole in a face a bloody l*e. Shame
Smuf is telling l**s no one is following drew care more closely than him.
But every dog has his day, today for Fahie tomorrow for…..
Plus at least Fahie marriage still in tack
After all this case is of historical significance for all government of the future in these VI.
This guy cannot be trusted. He sold out some who with him now and others with l**s to guarantee his freedom. The word on the street about him is not good.
When people tell these simple lies you know for sure you cannot trust them. He is not a leader and the quicker the NDP cowbirds realize this the better it will be for them. Now you could add being a liar to it. There is not one single person in the BVI who is not following the Andrew Fahie case. Not one. If he is not following it then he should not be a leader of anything because the reputation of the BVI will be at stake during this trial.
Perhaps the Hon Minister could say why he is the only person in the BVI not following Mr Fahie’s
US trial
I hate politicians who tell lies for no reason; that is why he penn will never be we premier can’t be trusted
Hope the nbvi sake we get a new GM she is not for people
Just say you prefer not to comment. Y’all childish buddy. Clamoring to go on that boy stupid show.
The VIP top brass was in Miami recently and never visited the Drew
… that is pure quilt Marlon..hahaha… even if you aren’t following it per-say. It must have popped up somewhere in your news feed or someone must have told you about it. Seem like the word on the street are true! Hmm
I also don’t care enough to comment on this case, so I give Marlon the benefit of the doubt.
Regardless of how you feel about Marlon; he is entitled to his own opinion and that should be respected. Bottom line is that “ God knows the heart”, not man.
imagine if M****n was the premier, he would have tell more lies than A****w and N*t combined.
The voters made good decisions, let his tire rass sit in the opposition for 4 years with his landslide. It’s no use to the people of district 8.
He just a waste and untruthful and even can’t keep a wife!
You really think he that important that everyone follow he ly@ing tail at least Marlon ain’t have his hand In the d@m air swearing on the bible though. Leave Marlon alone
The 8th rep don’t have time to waste on that liar you have the heart calling people liar that is he in the calabuse so shut up I ain’t follow he either
Sure he is. Like a hawk.
Following a fat zero is a waste of energy unless your life is empty.
Nothing to be gained.
Get a life folks,
Liar! Liar! Pants on fire.,
In other words district 8 will be victimized. You all keep it up

No matter what his answer was it would have been news. But that wasn’t the appropriate answer..The proper answer was “The latest I saw was the Maynards pleading guilty and Foy asking for an extension, so we will wait and see”. Thats all for now..!! That answer was a blatant lie. No wisdom..
He told a lie though. Don’t get sidetracked from the dirty mindset of these fake politicians. Look he brainwash you already that you miss the character. You still in school boss. Big people on here done graduate from these clowns holding office. There’s always a promotion in the drug trade when things go wrong.
Why should Penn have to follow Mr. Fahie’s case? Penn was not the one making (allegedly) a mockery of the BVI voters.
Empty kerosene lamp here. All the aunties and uncles of this good news site say let’s move on from Mr. east end first man stinky road sewage king joker. Such a big fat lie.
I READ YOU , AND YOU AND I ARE ENTITLED NTO OUR OWN OPINION , BUT YOU ALL MAKING A SHORT STORY ABOUT IT , HE DOSEN’T HAVE TO GIVE AN ANSWER IF HE DOSEN’T WANT TO , AND NOW AM SUPPRISED YOU ALL AIN’T SAYING ITS HIS FAULT / HE HAS HIS OWN ISSUES TO DEAL WITH , THE DUDE IN MIAMI HAS HIS ISSUES TO DEAL WITH , AND ALL AM SAYING IS LEAVE THE MAN ALONE / EVEN IF HE LIED ,HE DON’T OWE IT TO ANYONE TO EXPRESS HIS FEELINGS ON THAT FIASCO , THE COUNTRY HAS MORE SERIOUS ISSUES TO DEAL WITH THAN TO BE FOCUSING ON THE COACH , WHO HAS HIS HIGH POWERED LAWYERS TAKING CARE OF HIS BUSINESS , AND WE HERE CRUCIFYING THE MAN LIKE WE SO HOLY
Cliff the east Boss is his boss.
You don’t understand cl*** is his boss. Check all he hire. Colombian and Venezuelans with nonexistent job titles. Majority young people in the east vote that boy hard to lose an election if the senior people not going out to vote. The Governor cleaning up but he not going for all of them.
Marlon doesn’t have to admit to any of you dimwits if he’s keep abreast with Alturo and his bulls*#t. Wether he is or not doesn’t matter. I would have answered the same way, look like ayo seeking sympathy and pity. I never see more…everybody with this liar liar froth. Ayo mother, pastor and teachers lied to you or bent the truth at some point. The things we spend time and have the energy for in this place tells a lot.
If you can’t be a Penn, be a Pencil.
I believe that {he} is glad or happy that Fahie was arrested and probably hand a hand in his arrest also? Is that why he is not following the case?
Remember [he] said that we have to come together and Unseat the Andrew Fahie Government and the VIP.
Shortly, after [he] made this statement about Unseating the Andrew Fahie Government and the VIP, two weeks later (on April 28, 2022) Fahie was arrested.
