Fraser Attacks: 'Tell us where the money for the Plane went'
This is according to Member of the Opposition Hon Julian Fraser, RA (R3) while giving remarks at the First Sitting of the First Session of the Fourth House of Assembly (HoA) of the VI on Tuesday, March 12, 2019, at the Multi-Purpose Sports Complex to allow the accommodation of the general public.
First-time composition of VI HoA
Hon Fraser, starting his sixth term as a legislator of the HoA, said that this is the first time he is being part of an HoA composed the way it is today, eight members of the VIP on one side, with only one of them having experience as a legislator, “This means that there was an ocean change in the last General Elections,” Hon Fraser said.
Currently, the opposition side has the most experience with a total of four members, two from the National Democratic Party (NDP 1), one from the Progressives Virgin Islands Movement (PVIM-NDP2) and Hon Fraser representing Progressives United (PU). The District 4 seat belonging to Mark H. Vanterpool was left vacant due to his sudden resignation from politics, paving the way for a future by-election.
“There is a challenge here, the challenge [is] going to be for a government with so many new members to catch up with what’s taking place in the country and the other challenge is going to be for the opposition to work together,” Hon Fraser implored. This challenge he said lies on the shoulders of Leader of the Opposition, Hon Marlon A. Penn (R8) while noting, “It can be done.”
Plane money
Pointing to issues, Hon Fraser did not waste any time to lobby the long-standing issue of water that has been plaguing the Third District for several years, “The old scenario of trying to pin it on the District representative, it didn’t work then and it will not work in the future,” he implored in requesting proper roads in his district.
He said that during the campaign periods those elected would have thought it was going to be a walk in the park, “But we got real problems…. Oh, yea, you are going to tell us where the money for the plane went, oh yea,” Mr Fraser beseeched.
According to Hon Fraser, “Premier [Hon Fahie] who asked a million questions when you were Leader of the Opposition, I hope that you present those answers to us [Opposition members] when we ask them to you because as far as I am concerned you are the Premier and whatever the last Premier [Dr. D. Orlando Smith] did you are responsible.”
