‘Something is wrong’ with Governor’s immunity in VI- Hon Fahie
“He doesn’t have any accountability at all, compared to an elected official. So that in itself tells me why this system is skewed,” Hon Fahie said during the January 5, 2021, House of Assembly (HoA) Sitting.
Governor is not audited locally – Premier Fahie
The Premier further said that the Governor has no reason to be accountable in the territory given that he is not audited, does not have to come to the HoA and does not have to answer to a constituency.
“Something is wrong when democracy only can be spoken to, and be administered to one side of the entity and not the other side,” Hon Fahie said.
According to Hon Fahie, people in the territory should question a system under which one person has no accountability when everyone else does.
“If the Premier goes down the street tomorrow and hit someone or slap [them], the Premier can be arrested. If the Governor goes down the road tomorrow hit somebody or slap... he is immune.”
The Premier illustrated that even when a bill passed in the HoA has not been assented to by the Governor, Legislators have almost no recourse but to accept any proposed changes of 'one man.'
Flaws must be addressed – Premier Fahie
“Something is wrong and what is even more wrong, Mr Speaker… is that a lot of our people don’t even want us to address these things,” he said during the closing remarks of the debates on the proposed Disaster Management Act (2019).
Hon Fahie in his passionate speech to the HoA reiterated that the system is flawed and must be addressed, while he issued a preverbal call for locals who are willing to recognize the imbalance and speak out.

The governor is a r****t for starters
Sadly and revealing is that the faultfinders dig their grave deeper each time they attempt to discredit and malign,revealing a pathetic lack of intelligence and common sense.
You see the hate of Caucasians, people from OTHER Caribbean islands, and expats overall...others being blamed for everything they don’t agree with ...including blacks not liking black claiming they were taught to not like each other.
Stop with the victim story and take accountability for your own wicked hearts and this is to who the caps fit ...I’m from right here and saying it!!!!!!!
Yes, something is flawed, but it was flawed ever since it began hundreds of year ago. It is part of a supremist political system. Nothing will change until we first change. Go it?
THE W**** B** IS WRONG.
OR
Were the interpretation of the protocols misinterpreted AND misunderstood due to a lack of skill in reading and comprehension by the struggling "learned"group of our accusatory and shift the blame leaders.
The Governor is the QUEEN'S representative and accountable to HER MAJESTY and by extension, the Foreign Office and Her Majesty's loyal government.
You release your findings to those you are accountable to, not to melee draggers. That is true of any job. Best believe all those letters being written between London and the BVI are compiled in a nice, big file...
