Rogue public officer should be an elected leader — Skelton Cline

Najan Christopher, who served as Assistant Secretary of External Affairs in the Office of the Premier, was identified as the “rogue public officer” who allegedly sent a diplomatic note to the US courts in the aid of former Premier, Andrew Fahie.

Controversial radio host Claude Skelton Cline has said ‘rogue’ public officer Najan Christopher would be a great candidate for elected office in the BVI.

Christopher is the public officer who was arrested and charged this week after reportedly sending a diplomatic note to the United States (US) courts earlier this year, in an attempt to free disgraced former Premier, Andrew Fahie. Christopher was charged for breach of trust by a public officer and false assumption of authority.

Just hours after she was slapped with these charges, Skelton Cline appeared on his Honestly Speaking radio show and said Christopher is among several outstanding women he thinks should contest the next general election in the BVI.

“I think that Shaina Smith; this is a good time for her to run. I think Najan Christopher is a good, excellent candidate…offer herself for elected office,” Skelton Cline said.

“These are two women I want to add to the list. Notice I haven’t said anything yet about where they should run. We still have a district and an At-Large system,” Skelton Cline stated.

For several weeks now, the pastor and radio host has been using his radio show to preach the gospel of female leaders in the BVI. He says women are needed now because they would bring a fresh perspective to BVI politics especially now that relations with the UK aren’t the best.

“There is a tremendous need for some fresh set of eyes, ears, mouthpieces, spirits. This is an ideal time. Sometimes we have to plant these things in the atmosphere to get people to think and work through some of the challenges we face and who can meet the moment and get us to a new place,” Skelton Cline posited.

    So Cline wants the UK to suspend the constitution and take over running the territory, as that is exactly what would happen if this woman ever got elected during this 2 years of sorting out the territory.

    she will be used as another puppet if she’s elected to further these dark shadows hiding in the B.V.I.

    Prop her up and use her. Claude Skelton Cline and others are wicked, manipulative and opportunistic individuals.

    One day the people in this country will be tired of all this nonsense and I want to see where they will run and who they will beg.

    She is the worst of the worst when it comes to dealing with people. She’s nearsighted and can’t see the bigger picture. She is set in her stifling ways and her friends won’t tell her the truth. Many will suffer. She empowers no one not even herself just the handpick position. Look where she is. You all still want to give her an applause. That’s how FU things are… Let her learn her lesson the hard way. Maybe after this she will be a better person. She will not die. She just need a wake up call so she could change to a better person.

    … I’m sure she’s enjoying all this attention. What if the drugs Andrew allegedly approve to pass through the BVI landed in her child hands if she had one. All who facilitate Andrew is just as bad a criminal. Drugs stand for murder and violence. Blood is on the hands of all them. She is so wrong.

    The US and DEA did their bit now it’s time for RVIPF to get the ball rolling the country cannot move forward until we get rid of these crooks, all they do is constantly plot and scheme to enrich themselves at the expense of the country and it is easy for them to prey on others because the country is so small.

    My goodness Claude, are you not tired? Is this yet another prophecy? How many prophecies are you going to give us until the big day?

    Man, shame on you, you of all people should know better than that you are losing your credibility, I almost believed your first prophecy but now, no way jose. Im not even giving what you say a second thought. The test of a prophet is that his prophecy will come to pass and he will stick with his prophecy, but here you are changing the dynamics every time or every week.

    If I may remind you: 1st it was Honorable Janice, then you added 4 other women now you are adding 2 more. Which one is the real prophecy, if I may ask? At this stage you should really stop all this drama. This thing call election is not a joke, more so to run a country. Give it up my boy!!!

    if I was in ms Christopher position at the time she wrote the letter on behalf of the premier I would have done the same.since Andrew fahie was the premier of the Virgin Islands at the time the letter was written she had all right to do it.the premier of the Virgin Islands give instructions and it should be carried out once it’s within ms Christopher scope of work and I think it was legal .the present premier is such a coward that he don’t want to say well it was mentioned to me and I did not object. Andrew fahie was the premier. nothing is going to come out of this charge ms Christopher so don’t even worry for one minute. this matter would discontinue in the near future. so you do not need talk show host like horse face to be on your side .you have done nothing wrong.the people person is what killing the bvi.you would be a great candidate if you so choose to go that route.Horse Face have a big surprise awaiting.

      If Premier Fahie had travelled to the USA on a BVI or UK diplomatic passport, then there would have been no need for the “rogue” letter issued by Ms.Christopher.

      There and then, when faced with arrest, Premier Fahie could have invoked his DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY,
      and let the pieces fall where they may.

      Of course the BVI/UK Government would have had to support his claim to such immunity OFFICIALLY.

    Fahie and others are alleged to have planned to allow thousands of kilos of cocaine to pass through BVI. Some of it was also supposed to stay in BVI as payment for the services of one of the accused. Where do you think this cocaine was going? It’s bad enough to get involved in trafficking it one but allowing it to stay would have meant more addicts and more crime, especially more violent crime.

    This woman wrote a letter to the US authorities demanding his release. She had NO AUTHORITY to write this letter. None. Zilch. Nada. She is not the Permanent Secretary, she is not the Deputy Permanent Secretary and she is certainly not the Governor – none of which, I might add, would have had the authority to issue such a letter. That letter could only have been issued from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, nowhere else and certainly by nobody in the BVI.

    And yet we have CSC claiming she is fit for office?? Really? What kind of message would that send internationally for this jurisdiction to have such a l**se ca**on actually be elected?? What kind of message is it sending when we continually justify wrong? Is corruption so endemic that we don’t even recognize it when we see it?

    At the very minimum, dispatching that diplomatic note under the circumstances was an exercise in poor/bad judgment, on the part of Ms. Christopher. As a consequence any foray into elective politics in this upcoming election cycle is ill advised.
    I also find it intriguing that Claude Skelton Cline is suddenly embarking on a crusade to elect female representatives. The same man who a few years back pilloried one of the BVI’s most illustrious daughters who was seeking political office then by referring to her as an empty kerosene pan or words to that effect. When did Saul convert to Paul??
