‘NDP are liars’ caller lambasted group for neglect & dishonesty!
She noted that she was not aware that “there was a new NDP,” and stated how the public is “unhappy” with the governance of the NDP. She also noted the “young people can take it, but not the old people.”
She asked why the NDP turned away the ship that was sent to feed the people after the Hurricanes. The caller was at the time calling into the radio show on ZBVI 780 AM last evening Monday, February 4, 2019.
I am speaking truth - caller
The female caller noted she saw with her ‘own eyes’ water running down the cheeks of citizens who said no one was looking out for the people.
The caller stated on public radio that when Little Bay Hotel on Virgin Gorda was closed, “none of the natives got help, the natives were not provided for… that is a fact 100% true,” she alleged.
She noticed after the hurricanes, no NDP member looked out for the people. She said, “I will speak my mind clearly.”
The caller further asked why the roads are being paved now?, “Each election they come with the same lies… I listen to everyone… and it’s not about the money and wherever the money is now, it was always there,” the caller noted.
The NDP caller accused the Hon Myron V. Walwyn (AL), led party of trying to fool the people and asked them to “stop this lying story, it’s time for it to stop” she asserted. She said, “we need to look to God for help for the state the country is in.”
Country need God for help - Caller
The caller said, “When we voted the VIP out, the country was broken, but not in pieces like what I am seeing now.” She further noted, “only the Almighty God can save the BVI…. only him we can look to for help.”
The lady said on public radio that “the very election is not fair to us and we are upset.” She noted that the NDP turned away the ship to feed the people.
At that time, Hon Marlon A. Penn (R8) intervened and said “that was not true,” and they made an attempt to cut off the caller, and to that, she warned them not to cut her off.
The sentiments of the caller are that of most residents, after the Hurricanes of 2017, most of the people did not see any member of current NDP regime.

Who is responsible for enforcing this? And will it be enforced this election? Think before you comment.
They even refuse to answer the questions. Theses little good for nothing so called polititions
The power lies with the people. Once we demand better standards and better representation eventually that is what we will get. Stop settling for less!
I remember after the flood is when the ship was turned away,not the Hurricanes .
For almost four years the people on Virgin Gorda and other islands were at the mercy of the government. However, as the election is approaching they are coming to seek the voters support so that they will return to the House of Assembly. I do hope that there will be a new party in government and the natives of the BVI will enjoy a better life.
This group who give the impression that the represent the family are far from it. It my case, we see our district rep around election time seeking votes, then not again until the next election is close. Sadly, only a certain section of my district are attended to by that individual. I guess the numbers in my area are too small to get their attention.
Like countless residents, I got wiped out during the 2017 hurricanes, and it appears at least to me like the government of the day went into hibernation. In my highly compromised state, I have yet to see one rep, even driving in my area. My representative's presence was sadly lacking, and up to this day they did not ask me how I fared it although they see me all the time. Where is the empathy and compassion?
Now them going be up in our faces seeking votes. Give me a break! Enough is enough. I have news for them this guava crop.
