Territorial Provisioning Logistical Plan to be audited- Premier Fahie
Government, through Cabinet, had approved the allocation of two million dollars ($2M) to the Health Emergency Operations Centre (HEOC) from the Consolidated Fund to the COVID-19 Fund for the purposes of food provisioning.
“Simply put your Government has decided to ensure that the finances of basic food packages to be delivered to you the people, those in terms of the seniors and those who are really in need will be the targeted group [and] anyone else who have run out, genuinely have run out of food, the Government is paying for those food packages and to have them delivered to you,” Premier Fahie had said on April 19, 2020.
He said Cabinet also approved that Government, from the $2M, would cover the financial cost to suppliers and deliverers of the Government’s provided food packages. “Again that reemphasises that your Government is ensuring that you get the necessary food that you need during the extended 7-day curfew for 24 hours per day.”
Audit will be tabled in HoA
Addressing the Territory on April 24, 2020, Premier Fahie said Cabinet decided that the Minister of Finance instructs the Internal Audit Department to conduct a review of the Territorial Provisioning Logistical Plan.
“The terms of the audit will be set by the Minister of Finance and the Financial Secretary and will be approved by the Cabinet. Once the Audit is completed independent of the Minister of Finance, it will be ratified by the Auditor General and laid in the House and examined by the Public Accounts Committee.”
Cabinet had previously agreed that the Deputy Governor instructs Public Officers as required to support the Territorial Provisioning Logistical Plan including ensuring sufficient capability for the Food Need Hotline (852-7688) and for the Approval Hotline.
"Your Government is committed to transparency and accountability," Premier Fahie said.

The question is do they have the balls to really do something about the violators.
Deport the deplorabe deportables.
Those who claim inability to pay have them do community service on the beaches and the roads all day one day while under the guardianship of the RVIP.
the idea sounds reasonable but once some of those folks can vote nothing will happen
AN ASIDE: Me and my over a certain age compatriots got no freebies but we did not beg nor were we asked or offered. We make do and gave gratitude to be blessed.
Out of respect and consideration, my opinion is that senior citizens should have been offered/ given first and foremost. Each District Rep knows or should know who these vulnerable folks are in their respective communities and should have made it their business to give them that respect and consideration. This is how blessings flow but each man for themseves and God for us all. Just dont get vex when I sell my land at premium to outsiders who dont look like we.
If the proper checks and balances were out in place from the beginning that would but have happened... so, should the prominent lady in VG return her food to?
The evidence is there to support it. 3 and 4 persons in the same apt/ house applying and receiving in the same name or under different names. And knowing that they got and still taking. Them just wutless.
