The Government of the Virgin Islands is launching its Governance Transformation Education (GTE) campaign to raise public awareness and understanding of the vast changes resulting from the Commission of Inquiry (COI).

I would like to start by recalling Commissioner Sir Gary Hickinbottom’s conclusion in the COI report of 4^th April 2022.  

The Government of the Virgin Islands is advancing work towards completing the implementation of the Commission of Inquiry (COI) recommendations and has appointed Mr. Kedrick Malone to lead the initiative.

Minister for the Americas, the Caribbean and UK Overseas Territories, David Rutley MP, arrives in Road Town today. 

During his visit, the Minister will meet Premier Natalio Wheatley and the British Virgin Islands Government to receive an update on progress of governance reforms stemming from an independent inquiry into governance in the territory. 

Thank you, Madame Speaker for allowing me this opportunity to make this brief statement to this Honourable House.

Honourable Members, over the past few weeks there have been a number of significant developments as it relates to the Governance of the Virgin Islands and how we are continuing to ensure the good conduct of the business of the people as their democratically elected Representatives under our current Constitutional arrangement.

Fellow Virgin Islanders,

Good afternoon. I know that many of you have been anxiously waiting to hear an update about talks with UK Overseas Territories Minister The Right. Hon. Amanda Milling, MP and His Excellency the Governor Mr. John J. Rankin, CMG.

Today, Minister for the Overseas Territory, the Rt. Hon. Amanda Milling, arrives in the British Virgin Islands for discussions following the early publication of the Commission of Inquiry Report.
