School lunch programmes for entire VI - Dean B. Fahie
Mr Fahie offered a long list of promises to come under a VIP Government with him as D8 representative last evening Thursday, February 7, 2019, during his campaign launch in the Red Bay, East End area on the main island of Tortola.
I will fight – Fahie
According to the former Depuity Comptroller of Customs, “You have nominated me from among you to be the candidate from this District. My duty is to spend the next few weeks, and hopefully the next few years, representing you… [and] fighting for you, every moment, every day,” he told those gathered at the VIP rally to loud applause.
“I want you to trade style for substance. I want you to trade personal interest for community interest [and] I want you to trade stagnation for movement,” he said while promising new hope under the VIP.
“The nightmare from this long dark night of selfishness, power grabs, wastage and patronage is about to come to an end. We the people can put them on notice,” he said in reference to the Hon Walwyn and Premier Smith led National Democratic Party (NDP 1) government.
Children First
According to Mr Fahie, “We have to work hard for our children, especially for those who attend the Willard Whitley and Francis Lettsome Primary Schools. We say it is not acceptable for children attending school hungry... a hungry child can’t learn and a child that don’t learn will have a tough future,” he said while highlighting some of the struggles in the district.
“And so we will introduce a lunch program for the students of the two schools in the District... and VIP will also take this programme around the territory. In this campaign we will work for those things [and] we will give ourselves the time,” he said.
Under his stewardship of District 8, Mr Fahie is also promising a central fishing complex and market service, land for farmers to farm, a community centre and home for the seniors in addition to a new East End clinic.
Further, he said the VIP will create jobs by cutting down wastage and corruption and encouraging investments so that the people will have a better chance.
NDP 1 will try everything
He said, “Those in power won’t give up without a fight… They will try everything in the book… to hold on to power [and] to keep their hands in the cookie jar,” in reference to the NDP 1 Government.
“Our forefathers who were brought here, who came to this land, fought for their dignity and for ours,”Mr Fahie uttered.
“So when they [NDP 1] come around trying to buy your vote, let them know it is an insult to you, it’s an insult to your forefathers, it’s an insult to your children,” he warned

Dirty politricks will be soon over. If he lose he will be the author of his own creation.
Voters cannot and should be enablers to the nonsense. Now is the time to ask what are you proposing, how much it will cost, where will the money come from..........etc.
