Hon Myron V. Walwyn lashes out @ Opposition
Walwyn, speaking at the National Democratic Party’s campaign launch at the Road Town Market Square on May 6, 2015, was referring to the move by three members of the Opposition to write to Governor John S. Duncan and providing evidence of alleged unconstitutional practices by him raking in money through his food services businesses for catering services to a Government department without getting the approval of the House of Assembly as is required by law.
Sending a strong warning to Honourable Julian Fraser RA (R3), Honourable Andrew A. Fahie and Honourable J. Alvin Christopher (R2), who he referred to as "The three stoogies", not to make any further attempts to attack him, Hon Walwyn said, "I am an attorney at law and I would not put myself in any thing that I cannot defend, but it's about hurting local businesses because if you notice how they operate in the House of Assembly, they ask specific questions so you could call people names in the House so that the other people can turn into haters and believe they making lots of money..."
The Opposition members reportedly provided the governor with evidence that two companies that Hon Walwyn has interest in, MVW International Ltd., and The Pub (2012) Ltd., took in some $100,000 in catering money without seeking permission from the House of Assembly.
In response to the Opposition letter obtained by this news site dated May 1, 2015 Governor Duncan wrote, "I have noted your request for Honourable Myron V. Walwyn to vacate his seat in the House of Assembly. However, as you are aware, the House of Assembly has been dissolved".
The governor continued in his response, "consequently, before I am able to consider your request further, I should be grateful if you can provide me and the other addressees with the evidence that demonstrates that the Member is in violation of the mentioned sections of the Virgin Islands Constitution Order, 2007".
It remains unclear if the Opposition has provided further evidence outside of cheques, treasury statements and trade licenses in response to Governor Duncan’s letter.
The controversial Education and Culture Minister, Hon Walwyn, had remained silent on the matter raised by the Opposition. It was also unearthed that his firm, Orion Law, had a direct relationship with the BVI Health Services Authority after Premier Smith lied to the public that it was indirectly via Zolfo Cooper.
Message to the Opposition
With his motive clearly to attack the Opposition as has been the norm, even in the House of Assembly where he has also spent much of his time bashing this news site, Hon Walwyn said to Hon Christopher, "District Two, you done switch before Mitch so I ain't studying you... I wouldn't waste my breath with you. I would leave you at the foot of the cross."
To Hon Fraser he said, "District Three we will deal with you this time, I know they kicked up about the voters' registration card because the dead people they had couldn't vote this time but we on to you this time and OJ Smith will take you out."
Throwing his darts at Hon Fahie, Walwyn said he found it amazing that people with the most indiscretion are the ones who attack other people. "I can say I’ve been honest in all my dealings as a politician and as a businessman.... I can say with confidence that no member of the NDP has been sought after in relations to money laundering."
"But talk bring talk and I am going to tell you tonight that back in the days they used the same catering service on their campaign trail and they didn't pay their bill," Walwyn alleged.
Like all the others on the NDP slate present at last night’s rally, Walwyn declared that over the past three and half years the NDP led government has delivered and needs four to twelve more years to complete what they have started. "You cannot change the government every four years, you would not see any progress in the country, you need four to twelve years to get any work done."

All you politicians, NP, VIP, PEP, or Independent I for one expect that you will behave in an honorable manner. Anything short of that is a blatant disservice to the people. It is also disrespectful, not only to your opponents but also to what your party supposed to stand for, as well. It should an affront to to those in your party not behaving like this, and they should chide you. Be accountable for your behavior!!
There is a reason France Blacklisted the darn Territory Walwyn. That will include all of you in power.
Walwyn brought the bright lights on herself. All he had to do was do like Marlon Penn and seek permission to cater to the HOA. In fact the right thing to do was not cater to the HOA to avoid the perception. The same thing should have happen with being a subcontractor for Zolfo Cooper who had a contract with BVIHSA, a statutory body and government agency regardless of AG'e ruling. Did Walwyn's Orion Law had contract with the BVIHSA, inspite of the Premier's statement to the contrary? Did he dodge a constitution violation bullet with abrupt dissolvement of the HOA?
Seemingly, you are identifying yourself with Christianity but you seem to be ignorant of or conveniently forget that Jesus said My kingdom is not of this world. So I don't know why you are talking about religion. Furthermore, when you asked "which heaven are you going to" makes it seem like you know for sure that you are one of the elect, that you definitely will end up in heaven. Ego? Demonstrating one of the 10-Deadly sins? From a Christian standpoint, you are bearing false witness because that individual did not say anything discriminatory or false by pointing out that the majority of people here had slave ancestors who were brought from Africa in order to say that there some misinterpret the term indigenous. He/she is so correct.
Please try to understand what you read, and please do not impose you personal belief on others. Not good, undemocratic. The constitution of the BVI is built around democracy;not theocracy.
