Not one of us got anything from any grants — Premier
Ahead of a report from the Commission of Inquiry (COI) on its findings, Premier Andrew Fahie has refuted the notion that any member of his government committed any improprieties in the distribution of COVID-19 assistance grants.
“We are not going to waste time with them worrying about any grants or whatever, you won’t see not one of us — no matter what the [COI] report says — not one of us you’ll see were involved in any grants or anything with any impropriety,” Premier Fahie said during a recent House of Assembly sitting.
According to the Premier, persons in the Opposition who he said are fighting to see if they could unseat the government need to put their energies towards fighting real concerns of the territory.
“It sounds good. The melee sounds sweet and some of them hoping that that happen [to gain] power, but that is not what you should be using your 24 hours to do,” the Premier added.
Premier Fahie insisted that he was not the enemy and urged the Opposition to stop trying to program the minds of the electorate towards itself.
“Educate our people with what the real concerns are,” Premier Fahie urged, “so that they can know that we are just beginning to blossom in the 200-mile zone that we have [for] fishing that for years we left untouched.”
The Premier was at the time speaking about fishing grounds that have been reportedly taken from the BVI along with reduced fishing quotas that have been imposed on the territory.
He said the BVI remained in negotiations with the United Kingdom to reclaim both its fishing grounds and to restore its annual fishing quota.

Andrew Fauci is known for the smoke and mirrors we soon hear wha he do when we throw them out
By now we know who all you paid bloggers against the Premier are and you will be exposed.
who the f**k cares!!!!!!!
… Are you desperately trying to talk your way out of the s**t you created all on your own? Time for the COI to pull the trigger and clean up this s**t show..
Gus we know it is you. Go do some kind of constructive work in the UK. The BVI will overcome your wicked intents.
So no matter what the COI says, you are all innocent. Well, there you go. Case closed apparently.
Was your intention to secure more votes through unwarranted payments, and that is exactly what you did? And you say that is not corrupt?
Your ignorance is bliss. Some of you really think these colonial masters are about truth and fairness? They are about their own agenda to see us in bondage under their control. The COI was not independent and time will tell. It was not about seeking truth and time will tell.
Wake up what will they be taking over? It have people who have not been been paid for services in over a year.
I can’t like this enough.
Aame set of Premier haters blogging negativity daily. You all will never succeed with your evil towards the Premier.
Between the Uk assigned bloggers and the NDP paid bloggers who blog negativity daily on the Premier and his Government is clear of your greed for power. At least Fahie and his government tried to help the people of the Virgin Islands in a crisis. We didn’t get any help from the NDP nor the UK after Irma. Premier remain focussed. More of us are with you.
‘most of us’ – you mean the friends & family members who are benefitting from his position?
That is not what I heard Sir. And I quicker to believe what I heard than what comes from your mouth. You have told so much untruths that I cannot believe a word from your mouth. The best thing for the vip is for you just shut up. Find another spokesperson because the little credibility that you had in now in negative numbers.
I keep saying hold tight for what’s coming for Tortola its not a very nice thing but its over due
