New governor sees progress after first 100 days in office
After completing the first 100 days in office, Governor Daniel Pruce has shared an optimistic update on his achievements and ongoing initiatives.
Pruce, sworn in on January 29 this year, emphasised the importance of collaborative governance and active community engagement.
Throughout his tenure, Governor Pruce has focused on enhancing security measures. In partnership with the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF), he has spearheaded the launch of monthly National Security Council meetings and regular sessions with the Criminal Justice Advisory Group (CJAG).
“I have worked closely with the RVIPF and other law enforcement agencies on a range of operational issues, discussed security challenges with people including at the scenes of recent crimes and put in place structures to improve security going forward,” the Governor said.
According to Governor Pruce, governance reforms have also been a critical priority for his office. Pruce said he worked closely with the government on implementing recommendations from the Commission of Inquiry (COI), notably by creating the Governance Reform Coordination Centre. This centre has proven essential for aligning his office’s efforts with the government’s COI Unit, ensuring that reforms are executed efficiently and transparently.
The governor, who is expected to deliver his first quarterly report today on the government’s implementation of COI recommendations, expressed a commitment to fostering a safe, well-governed, and vibrant community in the BVI.
In addition to administrative responsibilities, Governor Pruce has shown a strong commitment to community and youth development. He has participated in various educational and cultural activities, such as film development workshops and poetry teaching sessions, reflecting his dedication to empowering the youth of the BVI.
Governor Pruce has also made it a point to engage with the community across various islands, including Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada, and Jost van Dyke. These interactions have been instrumental in shaping his policies and initiatives, ensuring that they reflect the needs and aspirations of the BVI populace.

take over gov, we need help
More willful blindness from the UK at the expense of the ordinary citizens, residents and tax payers of the Territory.
I am actually liking Governor Pruce thus far. He seems both respectful to the Govt and ppl of the VI on the one hand and dedicated to implementation of the various reforms and other initiatives that should improve governance in the VI on the other habd. Importantly, he appears to be taking a much more “hands on” approach to his responsibility for crime and the RVIPF than any of his predecessors and has not been shy about letting the public know of his various initiatives. I am, therefore, more optimistic than I have been in a long time about the potential for improved relations with the UK. I hope that Gov Pruce continues the seemingly good work. Hope also that the elected Government works positively for the benefit of these islands. Today, I am hopeful for the future.
Can’t take the UK serious no more
Every time issa extension to everything.
I’ll wait until the end of year to see if extension going on.
Other than that I not tuning in unless a politician gets arrested or something
