We’ve done a phenomenal job — Rymer
Public Works Minister Kye Rymer has credited his Virgin Islands Party (VIP) with doing a phenomenal job over its four-year term in office, particularly in addressing the issues of the Fifth District where he is seeking re-election at the upcoming polls next month.
Rymer, while speaking during his District launch over the weekend in Huntums Ghut, said he was able to bring the district from a sense of hopelessness and a lifeless state to one that is now full of hope and purpose.
“Together we have seen the growth in our district,” Rymer said. “Roads have been rehabilitated [and] we’ve created a business directory.”
In addition to this, Rymer said there have been community cleanups, a food bank that assisted those in need, fitness walkathons, and programmes and services for the most vulnerable in the community.
The Fifth District Representative shared that his community has seen the genesis of a first-step entrepreneur project that promises to provide jobs and entrepreneurship opportunities, particularly for young people in the district.
For elders in the community, Rymer said there have also been the much-talked-about Sankey Sundays in efforts at reviving the territory’s culture.
“We’ve accomplished a lot in the last years and must continue to build on the foundation we’ve laid,” Rymer said. “There is so much more to be done, and I am confident in our ability to continue the transformative work that we have started.”
Rymer also touched on the importance of virtues such as love, togetherness, respect, honesty, and godliness — qualities he said run deep in the fabric that connects his community.
The Fifth District Representative argued that achievements such as good roads, continuous water flow, increased job opportunities, a clean community and other similar benefits pale in comparison to having these virtues.

“Roads have been rehabilitated… “?!?
Seriously?
You winked and smiled when you said that, right?
The one candidate who campaigns without trying to bring anyone else down. Thank you, Kye, for your clean campaigning tactics.
WE MESSED UP THE TRAFFIC…WE KILLED THE SMALL TAXIMEN BY PROVIDING FREE SHUTTLES…WE WASTED A MILLION DOLLARS ON AN ELEVATOR THAT ONLY GOES UP ONE FLOOR…WE PAVED OUR GRANDMOTHER’S ROAD AND LEFT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY ROADS RIDDLED WITH POTHOLES…WE SPENT MOST OF THE MINISTRY’S BUDGET IN ONE DISTRICT….WE WASTED ALMOST 200 MILLION DOLLARS ON A MARKET FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY….WE HAVE SOME UNFINISHED STEEL BUILDINGS IN OUR DISTRICT…WE PUT STREETLIGHTS ON EVERY POLE IN THE DISTRICT WHILE LEAVING OTHER DISTRICTS IN TOTAL DARKNESS…WE BOUGHT A USED PIECE OF EQUIPMENT FOR PWD COSTING BIG MONEY…WE WONT COMMISSION THE NEW ASPHALT PLANT AT ALL
MB is more productive and ambitious…owns several successful businesses and buildings…He was born and grown in the 5th…He knows and feel our pain
we with Kye mehson
The red woman puppet #2. The other puppet sitting in MIAMI with a VI gold ankle bracelet. Well Sah!!
Tell that to my car and my bank balance. Just spent a small fortune on repairs mainly due to the roads in east End. Sorry , you get an F
Successful businesses you said…..its over 2 ueaes now i trying to support and buy my medications from his pharmacy as they are cheaper there and for the said period all the pharmisist keeps telling me is “the order aint reach yet”. Is that hiw he intends to run the 5th District? WE Good with Hon.Rymer. WE have a district rep who is also a Govt Minister and a darm good one at that. Can MB represent US in this capacity?
Kye, take a good drive around your district – start with your neighborhood where the big new house is always nearing completion, or so it seems. In your immediate neighborhood you will find sections of the road with cones left for almost a month when concrete ran out to fill the spaces. Take a look around, just drive like a regular Joe one day before elections. Better yet, get a driver to drive you so that you can look at the road close to home. While you are being driven go and observe the flow of traffic and tell us if you feel that it is working. The little shuttles are quite “nice” but we need proper dedicated parking to deal with the number of vehicles in this little beautiful country. The whole island needs proper roads. Tell us if/why we need to give you another 4 years. Convince us!
I put up a massive building for myself, i need another term to sort out some government contracts for it and landscape
It was shameful how you went on Tola radio with Damion. Trying to drown him out while he was speaking and when Heritage told you he has to go to another guest you insisted and kept talking even while they were asking you to stop. It was a new side of you.
The truth is that people’s eyes are opening that you did nothing for the district and the question has to be asked where is the money?
You were there babbling about money spent on after schools specials when that was just for a short time before covid. The head coach has really trained you well.
WE GIVE AWAY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO FRIENDS, CRONYS AND FAMILY TO THE TUNE OF 60,000,000.00 {60 MILLION}
What foolishness he talking ?
Strupppps
Kye drives all the time. Do you think that he walks where he needs to go? He is well aware, the task is too vast.
What’s kYe’s pre elected office resume on what he’s accomplished? The roads are a mess territory wide! Drainage, sewerage, telecomms, ports…if you can’t get your Cialis from Qwomar try RX online and you can get your anti-depressants there as well.
A vote for MB and PVIM is a vote for CSC and Big sh*t.
So why are we acting as if we don’t know what is going on. Let me say it in plain King’s English so that everybody can understand. When all that you do is take Public Funds and grease p**ms, all you have to do is remind those that you HELPED, lol, that you did and mention you “expect their support”. Wow. Is that democracy? Well, that explains why all the money spent we cannot see where. Well, if that is what politics is in the VI, please vote them out and vote in someone else, so a new set of people can get some help. #Uglybusiness #killingdemocracy #anybodycangiveawayfreefunds #unethicalandillegalbullsh**
He not only drives. He is always in his District smoozing. Seems like he is a good friendly guy, but that does not a good representative make.
Somebody better tell him that he was in charge of the entire Road System and Water System and Sewage System in the BVI as Minister of Communication and Works. He got a resounding F+ for that.
There is no evidence absolutely of CSC ever gaining from anybody in PVIM. There is, however, facts and evidence galore about VIP giving him free money. That is their favourite thing to do.
And a vote for Kye is a vote for MotherIn***.
LEGEND IN HIS OWN MIND!
If these brilliant young people knows that if they had chosen to simply work and represent when in power they won’t have to lie, cheat and act the fool to retain it? Seems to me you would have less people to pay, less people to blog on, less people to lie about, less jumping. You could get on stage and say I stand on my record.
Instead we have the COI, your leader is locked up in Miami, and everything is falling apart around us. Well we’re leaving this one to God. He will fix this.
The only part of the district he goes is Huntum’s Ghut and by Iris Place…..no where else.. so let them vote for him..
Yet still nobody cant answer when you ask them what improvements they see in their district since last election.
one of his main job was fix the road… he did it or not…you tell me. road in tortola is a totally MESS.
A vote for Kye is to have the Head Coach still in his ears telling him what to do because obviously he cant think for himself. A Vote for Kye is for his red mom to keep getting her gravy train. A vote for Kye is to keep him looking good in his suits, because hes GQ Minister and not about getting his sleeves up and finishing the tasks at hand! The VIP MUST GO!! All who were with Head Coach MUST GO! KYE was part of the wasteful spending, and we still have NOTHING of SUBSTANCE TO SHOW for it!
Kye Rhymer is a puppet, a coward, a clown pu**y man, a ch**ter, a l**r, disrespectful, w**ked. I can say so much more but I ll wait until I see him to say it to his face. All of VIP must go!! You all will soon understand the wickedness of our so called Leaders.
Seems personal to me.
Head Coach had great ideas and courageous.Unlike those he left behind. No wondering they were just followers. One of the Ideas head Coach had that I really like was to make have all Ports fall under one administration one board. I am sure if HC was here that would have being a reality. This New VIP has no ideas, no will, no courage..We need to move on from this new VIP.
Are you high?
Between Irma aftermath and Covid this place is BROKEN. I am not blaming the VIP, but to say anyone did a phenomenal job is just delusional.
Look at other Caribbean countries! There are great examples of leadership and investment in things that make the economy and people’s lives better…
We need some humility in leadership. We need someone that can fix problems (and not keep piling on new projects that just become later problems).
Kye gone crazy now since MB announce. If he really thinks they did a good job then something is dreadfully wrong with him.
Kye Your four years have been disappointing.
You showed us you are a follower -not a leader. You are a coward who doesnt have courage to stand up to wrong.
You chose to keep the peace with the head coach over representing the majority of your people.
the 4 years were NOT phenomenal. The 4 years were PATHETIC.
Not according to the moo moo them in D5! Set of @$$! Hope their tires pop one by one every time they get them repaired if they elect this man for another 4 years!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They%27re_Coming_to_Take_Me_Away,_Ha-Haaa!
He is the greatest disappointment of all.
He seemed good and different but running with the rats and VIPERS seems to have driven him to the dark side
NO
Of course he wanted one port administration you moo moo! All the better for getting his product through with no questions asked.
This confirms it. Another smiling liar
