CoI is fishing expedition & witch-hunt based on rumours – Skelton-Cline
“It appears to me… the United Kingdom has already come to a conclusion that the Virgin Islands is corrupt, they have now issued this Commission of Inquiry to prove what they have already concluded,” Skelton-Cline said on his ‘Honestly Speaking’ show of January 21, 2021.
No defence of the Gov’t – Skelton-Cline
The clergyman continued, “For those of you who think that somehow what I am sharing here is in defence of the sitting government, then you are sadly mistaken.”
“The fight that we are in and the fight that I am in, in particular, is for these Virgin Islands. I am not going to sit here no matter who is in power and watch Rome burn, I don't love Caesar more than I love Rome,” he said.
Further, Skelton-Cline sent a message to persons who are using the CoI as an opportunity to gloat as a win against Premier Andrew A. Fahie (R1) and the VIP administration.
“I see some of us out here gloating, I see some of us are happy, saying its good for Andrew Fahie, is good for the VIP… brothers and sisters I want you to step back from this and let us be sober-minded, let us take some of the emotions out of it.”
CoI has to do with future – Skelton-Cline
With a mission to free the territory, Mr Skelton-Cline said the CoI has nothing to do with the sitting government, rather it is about the future of the territory.
“You think if they paint this sitting government corrupt, that somehow that gives whoever is waiting in the wings a chance to come and take power? You're not going to have any power, you'll be powerless people in powerful positions,” he said.
He said the CoI announcement is nothing but a fishing expedition and witch-hunt by powers in the UK looking to confirm suspicion based on rumours.

The peoples prayers and divine intervention is at work.
The Governor says he is looking out the BVI, no he is not, he is looking out for the UK interest. his loyalty is to his employeer. This COI is a distraction and covering the UK real agenda. Just as they did to TCI and Cayman.
How can the Governor and FCO pick a UK Jugde and only one Judge on a COI that he wants to be fair and trasparent. If the Governor wanted transpearancy he would have open session or have at least three persons (non from the BVI) on the COI. People please tell me when since the 1900s have a black person on trial ever fbeen found innocent by a all white jury and or Jwhite udge. I am not against the COI, but listening to the Governors statement about the power of this Judge, a decision as to the conclusion has already been made. GUILTY.
The Governor and his people are sitting back and laughing because their plan is working.
My advice to you is to stay away from this talk show for the time being,until we know if you might be spoken to by the C.O.I.
If the Premier take a reflection,he will see that it is people like you giving bad advice and wronf advice to the Premier.
We want the C.O.I.
Let the inquiry begin!! We need good governance! Hip hip hooray!!!
so...govenor is just setting in motion and getting it done in an impartial way...what the present government has been calling for.
respectfully submitted.
In this case there has been no such invetigation or report. This commssion of inquiry is based on, and as the Governor himself stated, allegations.
So the difference the Commissiion of inquiry for the other projects are based on fact and findings and this one on allrgation.
You really believe that this is impartial. Impartial, i think you meant transparent would have been not having only one person on the Commmsion.
