Much of what is known resulted from Opp. Questions – Hon Fahie
He made the statement last Wednesday during an airing of the Virgin Islands Party’s (VIP) talk show VIP Let’s Talk on ZBVI 780 AM.
“Most of what is known in this territory is known as a result of the work we did in Opposition. If we weren’t asking questions, if we weren’t digging and being the people’s eyes and ears we would not even know that the dock is $20 million over. They did not volunteer that information,” he said.
He said that without the Opposition questions the public would not have known that there is $19 million of unpaid invoices or $100 million of over expenditure over the past three years.
“They make it seems that people are doing well when most people in this country are caching hell,” he said.
Victimisation by the NDP
The senior Virgin Islands Party member said victimisation and trying to silence people are at an all-time high with the NDP administration. “They try to do things behind the scene to come after us and our families in many ways and then make it seem that this is not what they are doing,” he said.
The veteran politician argued that the people put him in the House of Assembly and as such he will continue to agitate on their behalf. “I am here because the people put me to be the voice of the voiceless and to give hope [in the hopelessness],” he said.
He also said that despite his giving his best of his ability in the First District, Government has shut down or cut down many things in the district.
The Opposition's questions have been treated with scant regard by the NDP Government, from shifting the alloted time for questions on the Order Paper to outright refusal to answer them or provide documents requested in the Virgin Islands House of Assembly.
This prompted Hon Fahie to label the NDP Government as the most corrupt in the history of the Virgin Islands. The accusation did not go down well with NDP party members, however, they have done little to counteract the allegation.

Fahie is correct. maybe some One should get the man who used to be in Immigration to say the reason why he was deliberately and wilfully victimized by Smith and his political gang. Many others were victimized Carrie O'neal, General Malone, Kharid Fraser, Eggy, yellow, Cuchie n bahula ..but that immigration move was very blatent and spiteful.
When JUSTICE is done it brings JOY to the righteous but TERROR to evildoers.
Didnt this clown see the dock finished and start to pay for
itself.
