This morning May 3, 2022, at 8:05 AM, I received a telephone call from the acting Premier Dr. the Honourable Natalio D. Wheatley.  

He advised me that a majority of Members agreed that I should demit office.    

Earlier this morning, His Excellency the Governor Mr. John Rankin, CMG made the Commission of Inquiry report public. I was afforded the opportunity to receive a copy from the Governor yesterday and began reviewing the report. The entire document is quite long, but the recommendations can be read without taking up too much time.

Let me welcome you all to this morning’s press conference.

I, like many of you, have been shocked by the arrest of Premier Fahie with whom I have worked as Governor over the past 16 months. I know this community is a small but proud one, and I know you care deeply about the reputation of this great Territory. Rule of law, transparency, accountability and good governance are and must be the foundations of a Territory’s reputation.

Good evening fellow Virgin Islanders,

As you are aware from news reports, Premier and Minister of Finance Hon. Andrew A. Fahie and Managing Director of the BVI Ports Authority Mrs. Olivane Maynard, have been detained in Miami by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration on alleged charges of conspiracy to import a controlled substance and money laundering.

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.

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.

I would like to provide an update to the people of the British Virgin Islands on recent law enforcement action taken by the United States Drug Enforcement Agency about which I have been informed today.

His Excellency, the Governor John J. Rankin, CMG, chaired the Meeting held at the Financial Services Commission’s Resource Centre on 20th April, 2022.  

Good afternoon and God’s blessings to all. I would like to begin by thanking Island Innovation for the very kind invitation to participate in the Island Finance Forum 2022 and to deliver the keynote address of this panel on equitable recovery for island communities.

Good day and God's Blessings to all the people of the Virgin Islands.

Your Government continues to do a considerable amount of work to increase the efficiency of Government services, to bring benefits to you the citizens and residents of the Virgin Islands.
