Reserved power used is ‘an attempt to take us back’- Hon Maduro-Caines
This morning March 22, 2017 Hon Alvera Maduro-Caines (R6) appeared on the International Morning Ride Show on ZROD 103.7 FM with Paul A. Peart aka ‘Gadiethz’ where she made her views on the governor’s use of his reserved power known.
Reserved power not necessary-Hon Maduro-Caines
The normally soft spoken two-term legislator told the host of the show that it appears the governor is trying to make the government look bad. She said her government “has never not supported the police.” Hon Maduro-Caines said the reserved power used in this situation was “not necessary…it should have been used in a situation, where there is an urgency, like if we were not giving them [police] any money at all… I do not think it was needed to be honest…”
The female legislator, who is still very popular in her Sixth District, told the radio listeners that when she looks around on the wall of the House of Assembly and see the men and women who have built this country she said “these people, along with our forefathers, fought for this country, fought so hard for this country…they will be turning in their graves seeing where the attempt is to take us back..”
The backbencher told the public on the radio show that “Britain’s instruction was to leave the BVI as a bird sanctuary, move them people out to other countries, and a bunch of our forefathers decided we are not leaving, we are staying…”
No one elected the governor- Hon Turnbull
Hon Maduro-Caines joined Second District Representative Hon Melvin M. Turnbull who yesterday March 21, 2017, while speaking in the House of Assembly under Other Business, blasted Governor John S. Duncan OBE for the use of his reserved power for the first time in history. He told the public “nobody elected the governor” and that he is prepared to be “a soldier in the battle to defend” his leader, Premier and Minister of Finance Dr The Hon D. Orlando Smith (AL).
In firing off at the governor’s action to use his reserved power, Hon Turnbull said the move was made to “set us back.”
Governor Duncan told the public a few months ago while at a ceremony at Balsam Ghut on Tortola, as Premier Smith sat and listened, that the current government has “no priority in spending” and they continue to be reckless in the management of public funds.
