Vanterpool may be mentally ill - Edmund G. Maduro on D4 Saga
Mr Maduro, an outspoken television host, said that the entire conundrum is ludicrous and even noted that mental illness may be involved, when he appeared on the Tuesday, April 16, 2019, edition of ‘Honestly Speaking’ on ZBVI 780am, with host Mr Claude O. Skelton-Cline.
Speaker is Right –Maduro
“From my own experience in law enforcement and from what I know of the constitution… this thing never need to go to the courts, the Speaker in Right,” he told Mr Skelton-Cline and the listening audience.
Mr Maduro continued, “The major thing about it is, if somebody says they resign, they resign. That is absolutely their power,” he said while noting that Mr Vanterpool made it clear that his intention was to resign from the HoA when he submitted his resignation and further went to the media.
“Here is a person who has been in office, if not 20 years or more… Obviously, he must know that in fact, who indeed to address his resignation to. If that person really didn’t know who to address his resignation to, most obviously something was wrong and after spending 20 years in the House of Assembly, it is rather disappointing that he didn’t know what he did,” Mr Maduro said.
Mental illness
Further, according to the former BVI Forum host, “If indeed the person who was elected [Mr Vanterpool] can’t understand what he has done, something must be wrong with him mentally,” he implored.
“But [he] comes back now and [is] asking the House to accept him. It is totally ludicrous, he has already embarrassed the people who put their faith and trust in him,” Maduro said.
On Saturday, April 13, 2019, Justice Ann Marie-Smith rejected Mr Vanterpool's application seeking leave for a judicial review over Speaker Willock’s refusal to swear him in as Fourth District representative in the HoA. The territory is now awaiting the final outcome of the dispute on May 2, 2019.
