ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – The Seventh Sitting of the First Session of the Fifth House of Assembly (HoA) began today, January 25, 2024, in Road Town, Tortola, with a motion to pay tribute to the late legislator, Carvin Malone (AL) who died on January 14, 2024.

In a motion moved by Premier and Minister of Finance Dr the Hon Natalio D. Wheatley (R7), he called for not only tributes to the late legislator but also for him to be honored for his contribution to the HoA and the Virgin Islands (VI)

“Madam Speaker, I rise to move the following motion; Whereas the House of Assembly received the sad news of the untimely death of Mr Cavin Malone, a former Territorial at-large representative; Which are called on the 14th day of January 2024. Whereas, the late Mr Carvin Malone was first elected to this Honourable House in February 2019, as a Territorial Member and served until April 2023.”

“Whereas during his tenure he served as Minister for Health and Social Development and had the privilege to act as Deputy Premier and was a member of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition, Now, therefore, be it resolved that House of Assembly continues the well-established tradition and custom of recognizing the contributions and service of deceased former Members.

Tributes flow in HoA

Starting the tributes, the Premier quoting Shakespeare said, “The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones,” and said it was a quote loved by Mr Malone.

The Premier promised to let the good of Mr Malone live on through various people, including family, organisations, and institutions he was associated with, and also extended condolences to the family of the late legislator.

Meanwhile, other legislators took to the microphone to speak of their experience with Mr Malone and his contribution to the HoA and the territory.

    I regret the obligation to articulate my sentiments before the burial of Hon. Malone. Nonetheless, I feel compelled to express my disappointment in the VIP leadership for not fully leveraging his talents to advance the interests of the BVI. This is not a dilatory appeal triggered by Hon. Malone's untimely passing; rather, my advocacy for him has been prescient. Let us genuinely honor him by embodying his mantra. Politics should not be made personal; we can agree to disagree while upholding the principles of the One VI agenda.

    I also support this motion, Premier, but can I also suggest to you that you move with a motion to clean up the funky 7th district, and show respect for the voters that put you in power. In other words, respect the the poor as you do for for the late Hon Health Minister, Carvin Malone. And which you you may do so, remember the citizens of the other eight district of the BVI, please.

      If the 7th District holds a demonstration in the streets as he drives the taxpayer's government issued vehicle to work through all the potholes and sewage, you'll may get his attention and gain a little of his respect.

    Mr. Myron Walwyn, how dare you come talking piss now that the man gone. He can’t hear you! Why didn’t you say so when he was alive? We all know he was ridiculed and it was you who paid for the propaganda on the radio. People like you everyone have to watch because you talk a good talk only when it is convenient to you just for political points. Everyone saw through your contribution in the HOA and know you are the biggest hypocrite inside there and you don’t deserve to be in there either but your wall time will come. How long? Not long.

    God rest Carvin soul.
