PWHC raked in millions under NDP – Hon Andrew A. Fahie
Hon Fahie was at the time addressing a VIP general meeting with residents of Virgin Gorda on June 18, 2014 and was speaking of the state of the economy of the Virgin Islands.
He said that he found it amazing that decisions are being made that are favourable for PWHC after they made their way into the government system by doing what he described as ‘so called tender’ under a $100,000.
“Since then they have up to one hundred million, one hundred plus thousand dollars later and every facet of government doing work and didn’t tender or do any competitive bidding since,” Hon Fahie said.
It was the expressed opinion of Hon Fahie that in every area where the average citizen is working for government, the systems have changed where one has to tender, this he said goes even for the garbage collectors.
“You have a garbage company but you are not automatically given the contract again, you have to tender although you were doing it before but now we have a company that did a report on us…”
Hon Fahie was at the time referring to a report which was done by PriceWaterHouseCoopers, one he said was illegal. “I would say that report is not valid because under the law a forensic audit of the government’s accounts cannot be done without the permission of the auditor general…It is illegal, it is not a valid report,” he said.
He insisted that the PWHC has been placed in the Virgin Islands to write nothing good for the past administration, as instructed but rather write whatever needs to be written on the present administration.
“I have my proof to prove it. I am not coming here to play politics,” he said hitting again on the allegations of the VIP government leaving the country broke. “I am convinced that we did not leave the country broke, it has nothing to do with NDP and VIP,” said Hon Fahie.
“We shouldn’t be answering for leaving the country broke, the government needs to be answering for the money that we left, where is it?” he asked.
Hon Fahie said that while they have been constantly attempting to raise certain issues in the House of Assembly but without success, they are left with no choice but to ‘hit the streets’.
“There is a conscious effort to brand the [VIP] Chairman [Hon Julian Fraser RA (R3)], there is a conscious effort to brand Fahie but I am not Kellogg’s, nobody going to brand neither me nor the Chairman anyway other than who God put us here to be. We are going to fight for the rights of the people of this Territory because they are being infringed upon.
