Everything would have been fixed ‘if Andrew Fahie was Premier’- Hon Mather
Mr Fahie is currently serving an 11-year prison sentence in the United States after being found guilty of cocaine smuggling and money laundering conspiracy in February 2024.
“Mr Speaker, I want to wish all my colleagues an enjoyable festival, and I want to say this: If Andrew Fahie was the Premier he would have fixed the roads, he would have fixed the water, he would have fixed everything else that we needed. I stand on that. Have a good day,” Hon Mather stated in closing remarks during Other Business at the Continuation of the Seventh Sitting of the Second Session of the Fifth House of Assembly (HoA), yesterday, July 31, 2025.
No confidence in Hon Walwyn?
Although this statement may have been meant to hit at Premier Dr the Honourable Natalio D. Wheatley (R7), it is also seen by some as a stab in the back of the Opposition Leader and fellow Alliance member, Hon Myron V. Walwyn (R6), who also desires to become Premier of the Virgin Islands and continues to insinuate that he could do a better job than Premier Wheatley.
Hon Mather not stating that Hon Walwyn could have fixed the issues if he were the premier could be interpreted as also saying he has no confidence in Hon Walwyn to lead the territory.
Hon Walwyn’s Vote of No Confidence against the government was crushed in the House of Assembly yesterday. Only Hon Walwyn and Hon Melvin M. Turnbull (R2) voted for it. Former Opposition Leader Hon Ronnie W. Skelton abstained while Opposition Member Hon Marlon A. Penn (R8) was absent.
Hon Mather was also absent at the time of the vote. He later explained that he had a “family matter, and a personal matter”, which prevented him from getting to the HoA in a timely manner as he usually does.

Ain’t no way you could be talking about anything else.
This is NOT the image you want to portray to the youths by bigging up a criminal!!!!!’
I was disappointed he put money in front of him and put the people behind. A lot of things would have been better for real there is no bold innovation now. He didnt want a 300 million loan now we have a 100 million loan. Someone always wants to put us in debt which he did not want for the people. That 100 million loan need to pay for it self. Waiting see it happen.
Mather dated a fact that hit Natalio and his plebs hard. You know that J….VIP is DOA…
Bad Andrew good Andrew I bet my life if Andrew was in all the school and roads would have been fix Dr @ hole w only can only read and write he is not smart at all, that how it is when you go to school and you get the answer from the bright student and u past the test I called that cheating and winging I called that because when you go out in the feel u don't know your head from toes and that's what happens in dis case
Weather he had get that drugs money / not !
Money would be flowing , better than Flow data plan !
With confidence in the Alliance and their leadership, his last line should have been that the opposition is committed and ready to prioritize fixing dire issues affecting the majority of the population without delay.
The person why the COI was called??
Has Mather lost his Marbles??
Or has he been corrupted by the drug runners?
Usually Their's a good & bad about someone.
