STATEMENT TO THE PUBLIC SERVICE BY

DEPUTY GOVERNOR, MR. DAVID D. ARCHER

Good day Public Officers,

By now many of you would have seen and read the statement issued by His Excellency the Governor yesterday regarding the detainment of the Honourable Premier in Miami, Florida on Thursday 28^th April, 2022.

You would have also heard the statement from Acting Premier, Dr. the Honourable Natalio Wheatley last evening. 

As this situation unfolds, we must remain focused on the business of the Territory and committed to the work of the Public Service.  Be assured that I am working closely with His Excellency the Governor, the Acting Premier and Permanent Secretaries to ensure that there is no disruption to the continuity of the Public Service.

I also encourage you to listen to the Governor’s Press Conference that will be held this morning.

I thank you for your commitment to the work of the Government and the People of the Virgin Islands and I ask that you remain dedicated to achieving success for the Territory.

On Monday 2^nd May, 2022 I will call an extra ordinary meeting of the public service.  Details of that meeting will be shared with you soon.

Thank you
