DUFF’S BOTTOM, Tortola, VI- Ex-Premier Hon Andrew A. Fahie (R1) has given his Notice of Absence to the Fourth Sitting of the Fourth Session of the Fourth House of Assembly of the Virgin Islands, which started today, June 30, 2022, at Save the Seed Energy Centre in Duff’s Bottom, Tortola.

Hon Fahie, who was recently granted bail and is now out of detention in Miami, was one of three Members of the House of Assembly (HoA) who sent in notices of absence, according to Speaker Hon Corine N. George-Massicote.

“Please note that the following Members have given notice of their absence from today’s sitting,” Hon Massicote read and then listed the Members as being Minister for Natural Resources and Labour Hon Melvin M. Turnbull (R2); Minister for Education, Culture, Youth Affairs and Sports Hon Sharie B. deCastro and Member for the First District Hon Andrew A. Fahie.

Fahie unable to leave US

Former Premier Fahie was detained in Miami on April 28, 2022, by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) on drugs and money laundering conspiracy charges.

He was released on bail from the Miami Detention Centre on June 13, 2022; however, he is not allowed to leave the US or his place of residence in Miami.

The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) in a statement on May 2, 2022, said “Like all persons charged with a criminal offense, Andrew Fahie is entitled to the presumption of innocence, procedural fairness, and a free and affair trial within a reasonable time.”

      You ain’t no different than these people out here putting God name in their mouth calling themselves Soldiers for God but following the devil not fully surrendered to doing God’s will.

      Only know to call God’s name when things going their way.

      Stop using God’s name for your vain glory!!!!!!!

    No class. Will sink the Virgin Islands before he gives up. No remorse none whatsoever. No respect no love for Country. A drowning man would clutch to a straw. The Virgin Islands is not your straw AF.

    We as a ppl need to stop so Bc we here things about him from the USA means they are true ( no ) how many men did 15 / 20 or 30 Bc the same system say they do something come to find out later it was not so , a man is innocent until and even sometimes after proving guilty we learn they where not
    So for all who out there pointing fingers don’t cry when someone say something about you that’s not so
