Opposition will be watching Gov’t like a hawk – Hon. Fraser

ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – Third District Representative, Hon. Julian Fraser RA, said that with the Territory’s budget now passed, the Opposition can begin its work by keeping the ruling party – the National Democratic Party (NDP) – on its toes.

Speaking to this news agency recently, Hon. Fraser remarked that it would have been unfair to start pushing for answers from Government when the election was just a few months ago.

“The people elected the Government and they want to see it present its initiatives...we sat and waited until we saw the same thing, I don’t think it was fair to them for us to be running off our lips, not knowing exactly what their plans are. We were waiting for the budget to come out,” he said. “Now that the budget is out, it’s our turn now to start speaking.”

Against this backdrop, the 3rd District Representative vows that he and his colleagues will be watching the NDP “like a hawk”.

“You have an Opposition that has a duty to see to the Government finances and its operation being run according to good financial practices and that is what we will be doing. This is not the first time we have been in the Opposition, and everyone knows the kind of work that we are capable of doing. I expect to do the same.”

Members of the Opposition are, its Leader and 9th District Representative Hon. Ralph T O’Neal OBE; 1st District Representative Hon. Andrew Fahie; 2nd District Representative Hon. Alvin Christopher and Hon. Fraser.

      I agree with you WELLSA. Fraser better be careful..He has a lot of explaining to do with that Hanna's reclamation that is not in government's name but government's oney was spent to do it. He has some nerves to talk about who's watching who..

    "he and his colleagues will be watching the NDP “like a hawk”. “You have an Opposition that has a duty to see to the Government finances and its operation being run according to good financial practices and that is what we will be doing. This is not the first time we have been in the Opposition, and everyone knows the kind of work that we are capable of doing. I expect to do the same.” Too bad Fraser wasn't so concerned with how things were run the last couple years. Think that flattop is nicking some braincells.
