'Lack of funding' hurting VI- Hon Ronnie W. Skelton
According to the Order Paper, Hon Skelton will present the Motion of No Confidence against the Premier under Public Business subheading Government Business.
Lack of funding
Hon Skelton will argue that important sectors in the Virgin Islands (VI) remain severely underfunded while others remain neglected.
According to the motion, “Education has been the driving force for the success of this Territory and its people, but this important sector remains severely unfunded by the Minister for Finance and receives far more funding assistance from the private sector than it currently receives from the government.”
Hon Skelton said the lack of funding has also affected small businesses, farmers, fisher folks, and others who are unable to access funding and other capacity-building opportunities through the National Business Bureau following the impacts of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, the COVID-19 Pandemic, the effects of the war in Ukraine and other global and local shocks.
Agriculture, minimum wage, the Public Assistance Programme, the deplorable state of public infrastructure, the physical state of the Territory, the rising criminal activity, and the Premier's "disregard for consulting the public" about the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) recommendations, among others, will also be presented to the HoA in support of Hon Skelton’s Motion of No Confidence against Premier Wheatley.
Economic state of Territory main reasons for Motion of No Confidence
Weighing heavily among the reasons for this Motion of No Confidence in Premier Wheatley is also the economic state of the VI.
In addition to the underestimation of the salary increase of public officers, resulting in a twenty million dollar deficit, Hon Skelton will argue that the Premier has failed to develop an economic plan for the Territory.
The HoA is expected to begin at 10:00 am.

How could it be wrong not to expect continuing mismanaging our affair pleasing self, but not ours? How can we be pleased leadership in power doing what please them and lying to our faces that they have our best interest at heart, but not because action differ from their words?
Democracy is not Christianity. Christianity opposes values that opposes its own. Democracy welcomes it in words and on paper, but not in action.
At this run-away-like state of the BVI political chaotic uncertainties, in according with democratic rule, like it or hate, the BVI political opposition have the political rights Constitution wise to exercise it rights.
If we refuse to change our bias mindset, and we really desire a better future for us, our children and grandchildren, our bias favoritism attitude must change.
