Governor to decide on COI into SCB Harbour Project – Premier Smith
The report which was laid in the House of Assembly during its last sitting on September 11, 2014 fueled heated debates which saw Chairman of the Virgin Islands Party and Third District Representative Honourable Julian Fraser RA strongly standing his ground in his defense.
Premier Smith said that his government is still in the process of looking at that report. “From the point of view that there will be any further investigation that [is] in the hands of for example the Governor if he wishes… and also certainly the government will look at the report,” said Premier Smith.
He said that all the discussions that have taken place in the House of Assembly so far they will be taken on board and any deficiency that has been identified will be corrected.
He assured that the report has been in the hands of the Governor; however the government is yet to determine if the Sea Cows Bay Harbour Project will be moving forward at any given time. “It is something that we would have to look at and determine the scope and the time which we would begin work on it,” he added.
Asked if there is any possibility that a Commission of Inquiry (COI) can be called based on the report, Premier Smith responded, “Anything is possible.” Further asked if that response can be taken as a yes, he said, “No.” He further stated that he would not second guess whether or not the Governor could or would call for a COI.

Now all of a sudden she did one on Fraser project and they love her and want a commission of inquiry. But still say with a straight face that the ports project with its clear corruption and 3 million dollars for piles that is suspicious does not need a commission of inquiry.
