Gov’t investment portfolios recorded $2M+ growth from 2021-2026- Premier
Premier Wheatley revealed this while addressing the nation on Thursday, July 30, 2026, in which he sought to bring some clarification to the $2.5 million invested in Delta Capital Partners Limited. He became aware of this investment in April 2026. The investment, according to him, was made by former Accountant General Arnold J. Ainsely without following the proper procedure.
“Notwithstanding any losses incurred, overall the Government’s investment portfolio recorded positive growth between 2021 and 2026, earning the Territory US$2,893,141.69 as of today,” Dr Wheatley said.
I will ensure irregularities are flagged before final approval
The Premier explained that rigorous due diligence, sound portfolio management, and proper approvals are the key to investing the public’s money with confidence.
“Operating in line with the relevant legislation, regulations and policies will ensure that the system of accountability within the Ministry of Finance and Treasury functions effectively and that any irregularities are flagged before final approval is given,” he said.
He added that in terms of the wider system of government accountability, in instances where a public servant violates the rules and procedures of their Ministry or Department, authority rests with the Governor, Deputy Governor and Public Service Commission (PSC) for disciplinary action.
“Let me be crystal clear: where there is clear evidence of any breach or failure to follow the Public Finance Management Act and its accompanying regulations, there must be action.”

Just like the Devil, instead of apologetic submissions, you are trying to draw away our attention from the wrong unprecipally done against us to filty lucore
monetary gained. This type of behavior is no less than disrespectful behavior of our (especially public voters intelligence of political, cat-and-mouse child's play. Go and come again, only next time come straigh forward, not backward, Premier Wheatley.
This is an SOS from the the BVI
Location, located in the northeastern Caribbean Sea.
SOS SOS Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Help! Help!
The BVI, a luxury liner, sailing the Caribbean Sea
With an old captain named Ralph O'Neal
For years sail smooth and free
But sadly Ralph O'Neal passed away
The ship hit rough water that day
Someone turn the bridge over
To a captain named Wheatley
Mi blood crawl, things start to fall
Hold mih head when a sailor bawl
Captain, this ship is sinking
Captain, these seas are rough
We gas tank almost empty
No electricity, we oil pressure reading low
Shall we abandon ship?
Or shall we stay on it, and perish slow?
We don't know, we don't know
Captain, you tell we what to do
The BVI, oh she was a beauty,
With wealth that few surpassed
And in her day she sailed majestically
They were few in her class
Faithfully, she fulfilled her sailors' needs
Some were overpowered by greed
And so they pilfered slow
Some took by bulk an' go
Now she look dull, she's at a lull
She could barely sit on her hull
Captain, this ship is sinking
Captain, these seas are rough
We gas tank almost empty
No electricity, we oil pressure reading low
Shall we abandon ship?
Or shall we stay on it, and perish slow?
We don't know, we don't know
Captain you tell we what to do
The BVI, in her day of sailing
She was a friend to one and al, She never once ever hesitated
To answer all SOS calls
And yes, well she always did her best
To help out those in distress
Now it's so sad to see, she's in difficulties
Those she help jeer, some of them cheer
And sarcastically declare,
Captain, this ship is sinking
Captain, these seas are rough
We gas tank almost empty
No electricity, we oil pressure reading low
Shall we abandon ship?
Or shall we sit on it, and perish slow?
We don't know, we don't know
Captain, you tell we what to do
[Spoken]
If only there was something I could have done to restore the credibility of this beautiful vessel. Money is the problem.
Now there's a lot of fingers pointing
Suspicion running strong
Who's to be blamed for all her failures?
Who's to be blamed for doing her wrong?
Now please remember, I'm warning you
For many years she had the same crew
Who hold the keys to her vault
So we know who's at fault
Now it's up to you, it's up to me
To make her worthy to go back to sea
Captain, this ship is sinking
Captain, these seas are rough [oh yes]
We gas tank almost empty
No electricity, we oil pressure reading low
Shall we abandon ship?
Or shall we stay on it, and perish slow?
We doh know, we doh know
Captain you tell we what to do
We don't know, we don't know
Captain, you tell we what to do
We don't know, we don't now
You tell we what to do
We don't know, we don't know...
