WICKHAM'S CAY 1, Tortola, VI- The House of Assembly (HoA) of the Virgin Islands has convened today, Thursday, July 29, 2021, in an all-virtual emergency sitting.

This was communicated via the order paper for today's Tenth Sitting of the Third Session of the Fourth House of Assembly (HoA).

While the HoA session is expected to touch on matters related to the Territory's COVID-19 pandemic handling, Premier Andrew A. Fahie (R1) will also move two motions to exempt Deputy Speaker, Hon Neville A. Smith (AL) from vacating his seat over two contracts awarded to a company connected to him. 

The sitting is being carried live on CBN Radio 90.9 FM, CBN-Television Channel 101 on Flow TV and can also be followed on the HoA YoutTube channel and online at www.cbnvirginislands.com.

    Why is it BS? Because the person is related to you! It’s called protocol! And I am glad that people aren’t just sitting by and allowing these things to happen. He may be innocent, but at the least it was flagged for investigation.

    The order papers to allow elected members of the house of assembly to receive government contracts continue. Is this not the second or third time this year already that such order papers have been tabled to benefit elected members of the house?

    The sad part is that it's also done to benefit members of the opposition as well, so that everybody keep their mouth shut.

    Greed! As long as our elected officials are MeFirst, Greedy Persons, self determination of any kind is not something that will serve our country well.
