The outcome of all this is going to be interesting because the last premier did not act on his own. He had a full slate who sat and let him do as he pleased . My grandmother always say the harbourer is worse than the thief. It is obvious that they did not like some decisions THEY made because as soon as Fahie is absent they changed the ministries back. It’s obvious they are followers and not leaders.
Your grandmother just gave the best description of why most of the world hates the BVI financial services - just one aspect of our famously low morals and high corruption.
That’s what we do - we create companies that harbor money the thieves steal.
And inside the BVI everyone is so righteous!! ????
The whole rat pack needs to know this.
Whether one by one or more, they will soon be told. The former Premier Andrew Fahie isn't going dow alone. He will named some names, and even if he doesn't, the truth of former corrupted VIP illegal government activities will come to lifgt during these CoI probed.
The people that CREATED the problem, CANNOT FIX fix the problem.
maybe one day we will get to investigate ENGLAND for all the wrongs they have done around the world.
But no only Black countries need someone to look over their shoulders.Even the COI say we don't need the to
look at the Police force cause we have an English man over it, but customs and Immigration have to vetted
Lets stop destroy our country and it's people because some people got caught doing wrong.
