Mr. Speaker, on Saturday 19th October, 2019, I will lead a delegation of Virgin Islanders to the United States Virgin Islands to commemorate the 46th Celebration of BVI/USVI Friendship Day. This year they are the host with Governor Albert Bryan Jr. leading the USVI delegation.

Further to the Ministry  of Finance and the Department of Human Resources'  1st October 2019 notice on the implementation of the new JDE Edwards Enterprise One  this communication is to provide an update on the 15 October 2019 pay period  which was processed successfully with minimal issues.

Good day to all in the Virgin Islands.  I am sad to share that Kim Hollis, a Queen’s Counsel who has served the Territory as the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) since 2016, has decided to leave the public service in December as a result of the need for her to take care of an ailing family member.

Greetings to all in the Virgin Islands and especially to the members of the public service, for whom I have a message that should be encouraging: The Government of the Virgin Islands continues to make progress on the project to retrofit the Central Administration Complex.

His Excellency the Acting Governor Mr. David Archer, Jr. chaired the Meeting held on 18th September, 2019 in the absence of Governor Augustus Jaspert, who was overseas on annual leave. 

His Excellency the Governor Augustus Jaspert chaired the Meeting held on 21st August, 2019. The Meeting was held at the Premier’s Conference Room, Central Administration Building.

Having recently attended both the 37^th Meeting of the Council for Human and Social Development – Health AND the 57^th Directing Council’s – 71^st Session of the Regional Committee of World Health Organization for the Caribbean -- It is indeed a pleasure for me share a few remarks as we join in activities in observance of “International Infection Prevention Week”. 

Fellow Virgin Islanders and Residents, A pleasant good day to each and every one of you. It is my pleasure as the Minister responsible for Transportation, Works and Utilities, to provide this update on the progress made by your government on the journey towards restoring the Central Administration Complex following the extensive damage caused by Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017.

Further to the Ministry of Finance and the Department of Human Resources' announcement regarding the delay in the payment of some salaries for the 30 September 2019 pay cycle

My people of the Virgin Islands Good day and God’s blessings to you.  You would recall that approximately two weeks ago I led a delegation to London to discuss with the United Kingdom Government, its offer of a Loan Guarantee for Recovery and Development projects in response to the damage arising from Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017.  Please note that the discussions were not about a loan, but rather about the conditions around the loan guarantee.
