Constitutional Negotiating Committee members named; No place for Walwyn!
The disclosure was made at the Continuation of the Second Sitting of the Third Session of the Fifth House of Assembly (HoA) on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, when Premier and Minister of Finance Dr the Hon Natalio D. Wheatley (R7) moved a motion for the HoA to approve the members he named to the committee.
Not surprisingly, there was no place for the controversial Opposition Member Honourable Myron V. Walwyn (R6), who was publicly accused of not having the interest of Virgin Islanders first and foremost. The Opposition Members chosen to travel to London are Opposition Leader Hon Marlon A. Penn (R8) and Honourable Ronnie W. Skelton (AL). The names were brought to the House on the same day Walwyn was ousted as Opposition Leader.
The Members
The Constitutional Negotiating Committee, which was approved in the HoA without opposition or debate, will be led by Premier Wheatley and includes Deputy Premier and Minister for Environment, Natural Resources and Climate Change, Hon Julian Fraser RA (R3); Minister for Communications and Works, Hon Kye M. Rymer (R5); Minister for Education, Youth Affairs and Sports, Hon Sharie B. de Castro, Attorney General, Hon Dawn J. Smith; Chair of the 2005 Constitutional Review Commission, Mr Gerard St. C. Farara, KC; Hon Skelton; Hon Penn; Chair of the 2023 Constitutional Review Commission, Mrs Lisa E. Penn Lettsome; and Member of the 2023 Constitutional Review Commission, Mrs Maya Barry.
Resource Persons
It was further resolved that the Committee shall be supported by the following resource persons:
1. Mrs Carolyn E. Stoutt Igwe, Permanent Secretary, Premier's Office
2. Ms Dwynel Davis, Acting Director of International Affairs Secretariat
3. Ms Ayana L. Glasgow, Director of Financial Services, Ministry of Financial Services, Economic Development and Digital Transformation
4. Ms Xyrah A. Wheatley, Private Secretary to Minister for Financial Services, Economic Development and Digital Transformation
5. Mr E. Benito Wheatley, Special Envoy to the Premier
6. Ms Tracy Bradshaw, Director of BVI London Office
It was agreed between the United Kingdom Government and the Government of the Virgin Islands that the Virgin Islands Constitution Order, 2007, U.K.S.I. 2007 No. 1678, may be reviewed after ten (10) years after the date of which it came into force, and it is now nineteen (19) years since that Constitution came into force.

Great Team! I like that Ronnie and M.Penn are a part of this. Y’all does Myron bad! I don’t know if this is his karma or what not… lord I feel for him.
Leave the witch craft alone and turn to God… you’ll see how things will go your way . Surpass what any witchcraft can do for you. Give it all to the most high almighty God. He will do wonders in your life. Don’t force or rush things. Turn to God for help and watch him work.
Someone or some people dropped the darn ball on this. How irresponsible can people be? Wow, just wow.
