Andrew Fahie made a “360” on his VIP Government’s position on Biwater
The BiWater sign erected at Paraquita Bay on Tortola.
ROAD TOWN, Tortola VI – In what most political observers, and local commentators called the biggest dissension of any Cabinet Minister to date in public at least, Minister for Education and Culture and Representative for the first district Honourable Andrew A. Fahie said he is now opposing the BiWater water purchase agreement and called on his government to reconsider the matter.
Minister Fahie was at the time speaking yesterday Thursday October 28, 2010, under private members business in the House of Assembly of the Virgin Islands.
Fahie reported to the House that the people of the First District have registered their concerns over both contracts – Global Water under the NDP and BiWater under the VIP. He said in his almost 20-minute presentation on the topic that he shares their views and he was speaking on behalf of his people.
The Minister who sat in Cabinet at the time when the decision was approved for the BiWater water purchase agreement said he does not care if it costs him his post as a Minister, but what is happening now after the agreement was passed by the Ralph T. O’Neal administration is not what they agreed to.
The first district representative told the House he will be the first to apologize for the BiWater contract.
He said “at the time, BiWater felt like a feasible thing to do given the economic times…it was also purported that our people would be involved and not disenfranchised….. now, they are looking to collateralize our properties to get our money for them. That is not what was purported when this originally came to the table.”
Minister Andrew Fahie is now opposing the BiWater, water purchase agreement
Fahie also suggested that when and if the Government goes back to the table, if it is that they do not want Ocean Conversion (OC), there are thousands of locals in the Virgin Islands who they can seek.
Fahie in showing his change of position on the BiWater water agreement and to the surprise of many said, “even the signs are saying that we need to hold up on these agreements – the floods, the situation with the water”.
Global Water
The Minister then turned to the Global Water contract, which was signed under the National Democratic Party (NDP) administration in 2006.
The Minister told the House that his research has shown that the former NDP administration had bought a wastewater plant for about $3M which is now sitting at Paraquita Bay on Tortola. Under the NDP it was a “no bid contract” and was basically given to Global Water.
Not only did the Global Water contract had no tender process, but the NDP Government agreed to paying the company $20.00 per thousand gallon to refine sewerage water to put in the sea, a cost the Minister said they have now learnt is five times more than what is customary in the field.
The Minster leaning on his research on the issue, told the House that while the NDP administration was paying the foreign company the $20.00 per thousand gallons to refine sewerage water, they were reducing the local company Ocean Conversion rate to $6.88 per thousand gallons and “…it has contributed to the beginning of the financial crippling of the company”.
According to the water purchase agreement, the contract stipulates that Government will pay BiWater $12.90 per 1000 imperial gallons for the first 12.5 years and $6.85 for the remaining 3.5 years. The contract states that no money is to be paid until water is flowing to homes.
The water purchase agreement with the UK based BiWater is also expected to address water and sewerage on Tortola, among other things will provide two sewerage treatment plants, 7,800 feet of sewer mains, a new 500,000 gallon Sabbath hill reservoir, two sewage pumping stations, full water post-treatment re-mineralization, along with reduction of water system losses.

what a thing lawd Jesus where waz Fahie when he suppoterd the biwater deal in Cabinet and caucus? This is the big crack that the NDP, Ocean Conversion and Glover Parks, and the talk shows have long waitied for
This is TREASON
The Bronx Bummer Andrew finally showing his hands because eleckshun commin. If this is how he thinks he will be the leader of the VIP then he better try ah new approch… why now he aginst Biwater? Bout then again better late than never….
Premier, this is embarrasing
So I guess Andrew Fahie figgue out this is the best way for he to stay in power…say something silly so Uncle Ralph could fire he then he join the NDP and hope they win the next elections so the Bronx Bummer then can keep his nice shiny goverment ride. While I am not for Biwater let’s hope it does not back fire on he.
I want to see what Mr. O’Neal, Dancia & Fraser will say to save them governement. What ah big, big embarrassment for the VIP.
Well well well something doesn’t smell right, something does not look right!.
If Mr. Fahie has a genuine concern about BIWATER something that he sat with his colleagues and Government in Cabinet and came to a consensus on, he should sit with his colleagues and Cabinet again & try to work it out. This grand preformance in the house seems to be like there is more in the mota than the pisal……something fishy but it will come out bossman
Embarrassement what? All Fahie is saying is that if Biwater cannot live up to their end of the bargain, then the agreement needs to be reviewed. I see nothing wrong with that. I’m glad that he highlighted that the NDP’s Global Water contract has major flaws as well, such as giving Global Water $3M on a no bid contract and still charging the government a fortune (5 times more what the price should be!). That’s what I don’t like about the NDP, they are the pot calling the kettle black. I liked the idea of Biwater, but if Biwater can’t deliver on what the contract stipulates then the terms of the contract has to be reviewed. I trust that the other ministers can see what Fahie is trying to say.
Ok since Mr. Fahie said that his new found postion against the BIWater contract is what his people tell him to take then for the last three years we have been telling him Education and Culture is a big mess and how come he never change his position and fix them. Fahie please work on that and speak out on that. Lord knows the schools in the BVI are still in very very dreadful condition. I heard there are two schools with not even chairs for students to sit in…..hope he talks that in the house at the next sitting now that is what we the people told him… but it seems like he naa talk that! so therefore, he is not for real!
The saga continues. The people continues to suffer in stinking sewer and lack of water while these politicians can’t take a firm position and stand by it. It’s amazing how leaders are so easily tossed to and fro. By the way, VINO ayo pick up momentum. LOL. Keep going VINO. Ayo Jammin.
Andrew Fahie you have lost all crediability with me & a lot of voters in your district. Your weak and nasty attempt at political survival vs leadership are not the same thing, let me be the first to tell you. the bronx Bummer has woke up last week and has concluded that this BIwater issue is not going to die and if he says nothing, his cushy high level job will be on the line.
Therefore people like you can never be trusted……just Blah blah blah blahing for self
Mr. O’Neal you need to fire Andrew Fahie for real! When Alvin Christopher and Al Frett publicly opposed their Government position they were both stripped of their portfolios. Looking at Fahie behaviour in the House of Assembly yesterday he dam behind need to be gone. If he cannot support the decisions of the Government of which he is a part and a decisison which he voted for in Cabinet then he knows what to do…and if he does not do it Ralph needs to do it for he. There is a thing call collective and ministerial responsibility, not political grandstanding because he wants Raphie seat.
So is the BiWater deal still ON?
Seems like eveybody jumping ship, first we had Myron cross over to the NDP to run wid dem now we have Fahie wid his big flip flopping…. so who is next? Maybe the real VIPs need to stand up…..I listen to the talk show last night and they all over this but let me be the first to say ayo don’t get carried away too fast…not just yet … Let’s see what Uncle Ralph comes back wid.
I am a child of God and the good book says that a house divided against itself cannot stand. So therefore, if the VIP keeps this up they will fall and fall real hard.
While I am cold on the BIWATER DEAL trust me when I tell you people, I do not feel for Ocean Conversion in anyway at all because they have ripped us off for decades by charging high fees $24 per thousand galls that we had to pay for bad water. How come only when BIWATER came to the table suddenly OC wanted to reduced their high cost? But Mr. Fahie you are playing a dangerous game let’s hope you do not get caught in your own rat trap.
I share your sentiments exactly. This political game going kill a lot of them. As for OC/Global Water, no respect for them at all1
I have said it from day 1 it’s time for a new party. The NDP according to Fahie killed we the people with Global Water, now the VIP kill we with BIwater. Meanwhile I cannot pay my bills and buy food for my family
So both sides have ben kiilling we the people, so let’s get rid of both of them. Would the PPM please stand up???
OK people let me tell ayo the real deal behind Andrew Fahie’s rating in the house yesterday against BIWATER it’s just a fight between- 1st district vs. 3rd district in a nasty wicked bid for the Premier’s seat …….however, my Money is still on Dancia!
I agree. If VIP know what’s good for them, they will put Dancia at the helm! Frazer and Fahie need to go sit down for peace sake, but I still depending on them to get their act together, cause I aint able with the underhanded, fake NDPers.
Not she. She is such a dead weight. Always hiding and “need to be advised” on everything. She articulates to fool people, but everyone is seeing through her. She have to win district first and that my dear is HIGHLY UNLIKELY at this point.
HATS OFF TO YOU HON> ANDREW FAHIE for having the balls to oppose the BIwater deal! Finally, Ocean Conversion will get the contract and get them bills paid before them go under….
Andrew boyz what you doing in this mess? Either resign or cross the floor, but I hold your position on the Biwater dramma
with so much real issues going on in the country Andrew has join the club to defend the rich investment club who realy does not care about any of us..just their pockets, so Mr. Fahie your statement now against biwater in the House is nothing bout ah croc of Bull!
If Andrew Fahie thinks playing politics to make sure he gets on the side on the Biwater debate that has the loudest voices then so be it. But the big question remain where was he before? Hope he and his friends on the NDP are not the cheese or the rat for the trap he has set for others and his own government
Ok “want to be Premier Fahie”, now tell me, you sign a contract and now come tell we to get out of it! Now if I give you the wheel as Premier you will cost us too much $$$$$$$ as everything the NDP, talk show hosts and investment club rich boys is oppose to you will do a 360 on we……Let’s talk about all thoes POs to your friends in Carrot Bay & West End for work and school equipment some of them the school children dem say we never got….how about getting we out of those?
it’s a pity, a pity Uncle Ralph and the rest of the spineless VIP members do not have the balls to fire you.
TO: “Halloween” you ah talk shit! Leave the man alone for speaking out against broke Biwater who cannot get a lone
You know all this, and it is now you wait to speak about it? You know what they say about the harbourer being just as bad as the thief?
It is people like you who are afraid to speak out about this behaviour of his that allows him to think it is ok to go in public and Disrespect his Boss, Ralph O’Neal, the Premier.
As to the spineless VIP’s, I too feel your frustration, but this one I have to disagree with you on, for this is a matter for the Premier to deal with. If this was any country with a mature Parliament, Fahie would have been gone the moment the Premier had left the House of Assembly on Thursday. But I think I should wait and see what he does.
Remember in the sitting the Premier said he wanted to wrap up the sitting early due to an engagment he wanted to attend? Well again, Fahie defied him and went on to speak on other business for 40 plus minutes. The Premier has to take all this into consideration. He also has to look at what the other members will feel if he does nothing. They will feel as though they can do the same and get away with it.
I live in the Bronx New York City, but was born in the BVI and I am someone who follows BVI politics and its history. I say to the NDP and Ocean Conversion supporters do not be so fast to think that the sell out and recent about turn by our Minister of Education Andrew on the Biwater contract is a coup for the NDP as election is next year. I will suggest and warn not so fast my people, it will take more than that to defeat a VIP Government…just a word to the wise….as Clerence Thomas will tell me when I come home evey year “watch the game”.
“TO Round Rock”, stay in the Bronx, as you do not have a clue of waht is realy going on in the BVI!
It is sad that you should feel this way about the Bronx Resident. It is possible that the individual is a 3rd or 4th generation BV Islander. So who are you to tell them to stay in the Bronx. That’s what’s wrong with the BVI, it’s you NDP BVI Investment Club People who believe you know every thing, so after you have screwed up the country from 2003 to 2007, and the VIP came along and is trying to fix it, you are putting up all sort of smoke screens. Sorry state of affairs.
My Bronx brother / sister, don’t be deterred keep posting.
May be when the post said you don’t know anything, they probably ment everything, so here is something you probably don’t know. This website is the one in the know. It is fair and un-bias, the other two are owned bought and paid for by .,.,,, you are a smart person (you said you were a VIP) so you can read between the dots.
My brother/sister in the Bronx, don’t be deterred. Keep posting.
Can you people read????? Why are you getting your panties in a bunch and jumping down Fahie’s throat as if he is some big traitor?? All the man is essentially saying is when Mr. Fraser brought the BiWater deal to the table he and the others gave their approval based on one thing and now that the agreement has been signed, something totally different is happening!!! Should he just sit back and do NOTHING about it like the rest?? If you sign a contract whether for a job or otherwise and after signing the conditions etc. that are becoming are totally different to the contract, will you just continue willy nilly like nothing happened?
That’s our problem here in BVI! We are an IGNORANT (wilfully) set of people when we’re ready! The man is not making a 360 the man is simply stating FACTS! It’s so amazing that ALL news outlets, online and papers printed the SAME THING! BiWater was a SWEET DEAL because it wasn’t costing the Government anything. BiWater was coming in to INVEST money, THEIR money!! Now we are hearing that they need OUR LAND for collateral in order to secure a loan? ARE YOU KIDDING???? When Mr. Fraser was selling this to his party and to US the land deal for collateral was NEVER mentioned! He made it seem like once the contract was signed, BiWater had money waiting to begin works.
And how about Sleepy Ralph spewing GARBAGE on a radio show a few weeks ago when asked about the status of BiWater’s financing he said “that’s not his business” Now tell me how stupid can one person be? FAHIE IS 100% correct and I applaud him for having the balls to stand up! You can’t sign contracts, make promises and when time to start you change things along the way, that is WRONG and will only end up causing problems! When BiWater wanted the contract they were all over our radio stations and online news outlets spreading their propaganda! Now that their contract to RAPE was finalised, you can’t hear a PEEP out of them! If they’re so concerned about us why we haven’t heard any comments from them directly? We only hearing from their defacto spokesman Mr. Frazer!!
my my my T2DB you need to get some coffee you have had a ruff night
Lordy Lordy Lordy, wah dey hick is happening to my beloved VIP?…me have supported ayo, my dad and even my uncle. Lordy let me get on me knees to pray for me VIP as the lawd will not allow me BVI to go backwards
There is absolutely no truth to Fahie’s allegations that BiWater is seeking to collateralize government’s land in order to raise a loan. You wise people who wants to believe this trash, please explain which bank, in which part of the world will accept 3.5 acres of land at Pariquita Bay as collateral for a $42.5 million loan? That is forty two million five hundred thousand dollars I said. So go figure.
Fahie is just pandering to the people he is beholding to. At some point he and the rest of the haters will have to present evidence of their allegations, if they wish to have credibility with the people they have misled so far.
same ting i waz wondering! Maybe dem investment club bank dem trying to start will tek that size land for dat amount of money, but let me ask Fahie and the NDP
T2DB: I will be bold enough as to bet you that the same thing Mr Fraser was saying when the Biwater Agreement was being negotiated is the same thing he said when it was signed. And I bet it is the same thing he is saying now. Your hero Fahie is the one wabbling to please his buddies John and Claude. The Premier said that the man supported the Agreement, and now here he is with this nonsense saying that he has reconsidered. What has changed? All it is is that the NDP got to him.
OK people I had enough of tis! I sat here for 30 mins reading all deeds Blogs move on to the next topic< NEXT NEXT
to ‘Proof’ if it isn’t true, then explain why Mr. Fraser is saying the land holder’s license etc. is holding up BiWater’s loan! The land is NOT the only thing that would be used for collateral MOO MOO!! The ENTIRE plant will be held by the bank until the 16 years is up and it’s turned over to Government. By that time the bank loan would have been paid off! When you go to the bank for a mortgage they hold the LAND and THE HOUSE not just the land!!! How you all think people stupid!!
The bottom line is this!!! The two Julians bragged and boasted about how BiWater was coming in here flushed with cash and that was A LIE! They wired out over 2Mil of our dollars without saying A WORD to a BiWater subsidiary for Generator. I’ve never seen such nonsense in all my life!
Please, one of the condition president is that they must have a lease, in order to get the lease they need a non-belonger land holders license. Stop speculating, stop trying to impress yourself. Cant you see that because of mentalities like yours the BVI is stuck in no gear.
So you have a problem with the bank holding the Plant too? So would’nt that be their money? You are now showing your bias. why dont you get over the fact that this Plant will be built. The VIP will solve the problems of water shortages in the territory. The VIP will solve the problems of sewage in the territory, despite people like you, despite people like Fahie.
To waste of time!!
How stupid can one be? The VIP Government has an OVERWHELMING Majority and can’t get their own Departments to grant approvals where needed etc.? It’s obvious that A LOT OF LIES were told to us and we still don’t know the whole story! You all and these DUMB conspiracy theories about NDP this, Claude that, John Cline the other is besides the point! This is why our Politicians will continue to play us for IDIOTS because we drink up all the nonsense and can’t think for ourselves!!
When Mr. Fraser signed this contract he said works will start in SEPTEMBER, we will be in November come Monday! Before he opened his big old mouth he should’ve ensured that all requirements whether non-belonger land holders’ etc. were in place! Now he wants to blame others? Now he wants departments to ignore the need for EIA etc. and just let them do what they want? Isn’t this the reason we voted out NDP in the first place? Because they wanted developments to go forward with out the correct measures being put in place?
BiWater doesn’t have a positive reputation in ANY of the countries they’re operating in but because we so hate our own we don’t care about that fact! There’s a lot more information to come to light about this entire debacle so hold tight. Wait until the Guv gets involved, I know first hand what’s coming next, stay tuned and you will see! All I can say a lot of them better be wearing pampers because they will be well soiled when the news hits!
You are one bitter dude. When this whole thing is over you will be one sick puppy. You continue to play the victim by saying things like, lying to you, playing you for idiot, and calling people names. This thing is not about you, it is about the territory and the people of the territory. I like it when little people like you in your own insignificant way go heaping all this importance on yourself.
LMAO!! To loving it, little people? I take it you KNOW ME?? As far as I know, each person has ONE VOTE!!! How ‘BIG’ are you? You all just like to play politics with everything! Wrong is wrong and this government has done us WRONG in the past 3 years they have been in! Instead of trying to reverse what I’ve said why didn’t you list some facts? Oh, because YOU DONT HAVE ANY!! When this is over I’ll be bitter? HAHA! I’ll keep talking until the people of this territory get what they deserve! This is not about me, I have a damn CISTERN and it’s FILLED WITH FRESH WATER AS I TYPE!!
The water shortages don’t affect me directly but I continue to rant and rave because it’s SICKENING what’s going on with people in a so called rich country!! You talk about playing the victim, who’s the victim? Aren’t the people without water being victims? You all are so up VIP butt holes you can’t see a rational argument! THe point is when Fraser was selling this bullshit to people he said BiWater coming with THEIR MONEY! Nothing is wrong with getting financing but don’t fool the people!! Just earlier this year it was revealed in court that BiWater had money issues but nobody studying that ya’ll so damn STUPID!!!l OC showed the government PROOF that once they get a contract they have MONEY to move forward! OC Build the big plant in East End even before getting a contract!!
In closing, if you don’t see anything wrong with Mr Fraser saying his OWN GOVERNMENT is hampering progress then you’re a CERTIFIED IDIOT! If Cabinet signed the contract, which Mr. Hodge for Natural Resources would’ve been a part of, which Andrew, Ralph, Dancia would’ve been a part of, they approved it! If now other simpler things can’t be approved by THEIR OWN departments, doesnt this in itself show that something is wrong? Andrew himself is saying that what was initially agreed to is not happening! He has information that we have never seen!!!
Oh and by the way, I’m ready to debate ANYBODY LIVE on TV where ever on the issues! I don’t have to sit behind a computer posting 5-10 times under different names to give the impression that this site has debate!
You see, your Cistern is full and running over so you dont know jack about the water shortage, why not let the people who understand the problem speak about it. You make so many assumptions in your statement, like Fahie has information you dont have, but yet you speak as if you are an authority on the subject. By the way, now that Fahie has finally declared his hand publicly, why dosent he share this information you think he has with you and the rest of your NDP / BVI Investment Club / Ocean Conversion buddies of his.
You said you want to debate the issue on TV, then why are you hiding behind the faceless blog. Call someone and challenge them to a debate that is based on facts, not the type of emotions that i sense coming from you.
By the way, when are you all going to give back the shareholders their money?
LMAO Onyx see this is the problem! Just because I don’t agree with you I’m automatically an NDP fan well let me burst your little bubble, I’m not a fan of EITHER PARTY as they both have their flaws!! NDP is not the Government VIP is so let them take their licks for doing nonsense!!! Furthermore, Fraser is saying that the departments shouldn’t demand an EIA as a part of the approval process simply because they didn’t do it for previous developments! What a crock of shit!! I thought we were moving forward? So when an individual is instructed by these same departments to follow new guidelines you think they can tell them that crap? Point to someone else’s development from yester-year and say they can do it too?
All you call can parrot is NDP Ocean Conversion as though VIP members don’t have shares too are you kidding? LMAO!!!!! MANY of the VIP’s biggest supporters as well as Executives have shares in Ocean Conversion and other Investment Club entities! This information is available as ALL members had to disclose their holdings etc. stop being so damn simple minded!!
I use my same login name in ALL my posts and not hiding from a soul! Many here are posting multiple times under different names to make it seem as though people are agreeing with them I already proved it!! I stick with my previous posts on this topic, WRONG IS WRONG regardless of which party is doing it!!
Did Mr. Fraser signed this contract?
T2DB; your post sickens me to see the many inaccuracies you made in order to make your point. First of all, Fraser did not sign the contract, second, i did not hear him say that he wanted the Department ( rather LDCA) to omit any EIA. Obviously you seem to be an insider with the other side, but without command of the facts. What i heard Fraser say is that the LDCA must play with a single set of rules, and not one for the NDP and one for the VIP.
When the NDP was in office they (NDP Ocean Conversion, same thing) got approval to build a water plant at Bar Bay, was an EIA requested? They also got approval to build a Sewage Treatment Plant at Pariquita Bay, was an EIA requested? The answer is no on both counts. That is what Fraser is contesting.
Another thing, government is dumping raw sewage daily, 24/7 in the sea right next door to where the Plant is to be built. Why dont they ask for an EIA for that sewage? I guess you and them would rather see an epidemic break out first.
LMAO!! Roadster you serious??? Our rules are changing everyday and our departments are put in place to regulate! It’s nobody’s fault that Mr. Potter was a BIG SOCK PUPPET when he was at Planning! Now that we have a new head who is actually FOLLOWING THE LAWS you all balling? Why didn’t Fraser mention that the EIA is a part of the mandate according to the related Legislation? If the Planning Unit and others didn’t have the Law on their side BiWater could SUE THEM!! Are they suing them? NO!! Because they have no grounds to!! To hear a BVI elected Minister of Government FIGHTING TOOTH AND NAIL for this company begs some serious questions! Where are the BiWater representatives? Why aren’t we hearing anything from them, only Fraser?
When they wanted the contract they came in and published a set of blatant lies on our websites and airwaves and we fell for them! They talk about we being ripped off and they cheaper! How the hell can they be cheaper when we have to provide land, generator, electricity, back their loan and pay increased bank/interest rates when applied? How the hell can that be cheaper? Read the contract for yourself LIKE I DID and stop spreading nonsense! BiWater has NO RISK and hardly any responsibilities according to the contract! Show me any other industry where Government was ever so generous to a company, muchless a FOREIGN COMPANY!! SHOW ME!!!!!!
They said BiWater will be solving our Sewerage as well. What is all the money being spent with Carvin Malone for? You do also know that Carvin is a shareholder of OC/Investment Club do you? LOL! I just have to laugh at you fools who parrot everything your masters tell you! Not an independent thought between all of you!!!!
And furthermore Roadster, you talk about when NDP was in office, the Government itself DOES NOT get directly involved in approvals etc. unless necessary! The persons heading Planning and other related departments along with their boards, are the ones that make those decisions! You are defeating your own point and you don’t even know it!!! If the Government of the day had the power to make such decisions we won’t be here having this discussion!! If VIP had the power to overide planning etc. BiWater would already be up and running. A perfect example was the Beef Island hotel and golf course that the NDP wanted so bad which I WAS AND STILL AM AGAINST!!! The NDP could not interfere with decisions made by planning etc. as well as the court’s decision hence the development halted. Why have planning managers and boards in place of their recommendations are not being adhered to?
When these departments don’t do their jobs we complain. Now that they’re doing their jobs we complain! If we want to build a damn shed on our property they come making noise, do you hear politicians complaining on our behalf? Do you realize where this plant will be situated? Don’t you realize that’s the reason for the EIA? You think the Beef Island Developers could tell Planning well look at Long Bay they had this and have that but never had a EIA why should we? They would LOOK and SOUND RETARDED as they’re completely different things! Mr. Fraser and the likes appeal to the ignorant masses and it works almost every time! Fraser is obviously jealous of the BVI Investment Club because he went to the US for how many decades, came back, started his Architecture Firm and it went BUST! The building is empty for years and still is as we speak! He said himself when he first got elected that he will ensure that they fail!!
Then you same idiots ball about being the minority in your own country! When you hate your own successful brothers and sisters and will do ANYTHING to let foreigners come in and take over, what you expect? First it will be OC then it will be all those cushy Trust Company jobs! Watch as BVIslanders have to turn around and be domestic workers for these same expats coming in to work! Think it can’t happen? Continue fighting against and hating your own out of JEALOUSY and see what happens!
When Mr Willock was on leave in the UK instead of focusing on his studies he was focusing on bringing BiWater to take down the INvestment CLub. Look at where he is now, jobless and in hot water. What ever happened to his lawsuit against Beacon? Again, worst than a big truck exhaust, PURE HOT AIR!! HAHA!!!
And let me tell you all, I’m a regular middle-classed BVI Citizen with no affiliation to any groups involved and with NO personal gain involved! I simply love my country and want to see the best for all of us!! I’ll close with telling everyone to use theiir own damn brains and stop depending on propaganda! The Gazette is a PUBLIC source of information. There are also the different Govt Departments where you can read contracts and other important documents. It’s sad when the information is right there for us to see but we rather depend on mellee instead!
@T2DB, It’s people like you who just wait to see what any government has put forward and just find creative ways to object. While you are objecting with your fancy debates (trying to convince yourself of your intelligence), the mass population continues to suffer and progress is being impeded……….Go Get A LIFE!!
Strupes; I couldn’t have said it better if I tried. Could you imagin the time this cereep puts into this nonsense. They must be some misserable retired jerk. They seem to have the mentality of a child abuser.
to Strupes!! WTF?? Before the BiWater debacle people were getting water, BETTER WATER and more frequently than now what foolishness you telling me about people suffering? I caused anybody to suffer? I’m calling out the people who have YOU ALL suffering and you jump down my throat with your illiterate bullshit? If the Government had simply entered into, even if it was a short term contract with OC or ANY OTHER WATER COMPANY so that we can have constant water supply UNTIL BiWater or whoever else comes in then we won’t be in this mess! You all have BiWater to be this knight in shining armor and saving grace! FRASER and his party are the ones that got people suffering but jump down my throat instead! He is the one that completely ignored OC with their recommendations and told them he don’t have time or money but yet as they give him the keys he spend 3million on the plant and it still not producing!!
I got a life smarty a damn good one too! You need to get some damn common sense and pick your battles! Last I remember you or nobody else didn’t elect me to office! Get upset with those that have the place in a mess not me, I’m trying to help by putting word out there about what’s happening in our country! As I said before, I have a Cistern, I could sit back and say I don’t give a shit but I DO GIVE A SHIT!!! That’s why I continue to fight down those spreading lies and want to see our people continue to suffer! The bottom line is, there’s ABSOLUTELY NO REASON why this Government should have let this thing get so out of hand and YOU AND THE REST know it!!!
you people sit all day and blog where do you get the time from to do your work. my god!
T2DB, i am convinced that you are sick
