GREAR HARBOUR, Jost van Dyke, VI – Premier and Minister for Finance Hon Andrew A. Fahie (R1) said despite how Opposition Legislator, Hon Melvin M. Turnbull (R2) behaves in the House of Assembly (HoA), he will be forgiven because of their strong family ties.

Premier Fahie made the revelation during the contract signing ceremony for the design development phase of the new Jost van Dyke Primary School on Monday, December 21, 2020.

No Disrespect in HoA – Premier Fahie

“We do not disrespect anyone in their District. I was in the Opposition for years, and I know how that felt and I told persons that I would not do it. Yes, we are the government, and yes the representative has his job to do and he has to push to see how far he can get.”

Premier Fahie continued, “When he passes the limit, it is my job to tell him that is how far you could go, we will take it from here, but not in a bad way.”

Premier Fahie revealed that he has a very close relationship with the mother of Hon Turnbull, and as such, forgiveness will always be a part of their dynamics in the House.

“So the connection is very close, so no matter how much he shouts and behaves in the House [of Assembly] at times I forgive him because of his mom, because I know he comes from good stock.”

Hon Turnbull has to do his job - Premier 

In the same breath, the Premier commended Hon Turnbull for doing his duty as a representative of the people of the Second Electoral District.

“He has to do what he has to do for the people because I know Cane Garden Bay people are kind people. So I know in his genes, he’s a good person, he is just passionate,” Premier Fahie said.

    Mitch was very disrespectful to Orlando Smith. A matter of fact, Orlando gave him a chance and then Mitch slapped him in the face. Forgive is one thing, forgetting is another.

    The only way we in District 2 can calm Mitch down is honestly, we have to shake him up next election. What is he going to do, go around knocking on everyone door in the District asking who vote him out? I wish he would.

      The thing about Mitch is he is a hot head. And I agree, it is up to the residents of D2 to shake him up a bit let him wonder if the residents is willing to give him another chance, the ball is in his court.

    knowing the Hon. Member for the 2nd personally, I know he has his ways, and his mouth at times can get him in hot water. he's made some mistakes in the past, but he's a good dude deep down. he's caring and considerate, and he has the best intentions for the BVI at heart. he has room for improvement, and that he will do with the help of the Lord. with that said, happy holidays to him, his wife, his daughter, sibling, and parents. BVI Love people!

        I don't know Cindy personally, and hence, I cannot compare one with the other. so if you know both her and Mitch, you tell me. Merry Christmas to you too.

    Mitch better put a stop to that stupidness on the point. One of his voters wants to put in rocks and change the shape of the bay. 100 others say it illegal and could take even more sand from the beach. Is he in charge of helping or destroying CGB?

    Ok, he can pass the limit in HOA but there is a way to do things rather than being so damn aggressive and disrespectful. So because you know his family that does not mean that he can continue getting away with his behavior. If that is the case maybe you need to put a sandbox in HOA for when he starts.

    Everyone knows that the show that all politicians put on is just for the sake of the voting public. It is entertainment. They are all good friends and have drinks after. The show is intended to give people the impression that they are working for their money. Check out the opposition and their contributions. The grandstanding is only for the show.

    District 2, you all are d@mn hypocrites! And I am from district 2 too. What do you want, a dummy to represent us in the HOA? A MUTE? Ok so because he is young, he must go in there sucking his finger? He’s a grown man and he has work to do! Let him work even if he has to tear down walls! It’s so oblivious how stupid you all are opposing to his efforts, when he is just simply fighting for us. Do you all realize that he is on the opposition? That alone is a fight in itself! If he wasn’t making noise it would be another story. But that’s us. Can’t satisfy! Good, Bad or Ugly! We still find a way to make noise. For God in Heaven’s sake, try leave him alone. Y’all make the dog sick and the cat dem vomit! I for sure want a Minister who fights for us. And that is what he is doing.
