Trio protests ‘UK overstepping authority’ in VI
The protestors expressed concern with the set up of the Constitutional Review Committee and that the Governor has a hand in it and that the UK appears to be holding a gun at the head of the Virgin Islands, over the implementation of the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) Report Recommendations.
“I feel like things are bit out of control in the BVI. We know that we’ve made some mistakes, we’ve agreed to work with the UK to rectify those mistakes. Those mistakes were focused on good governance, corruption in office. That has nothing to do with our constitution and where we would like to go as a people, so we feel that the UK is overstepping that authority. There are a lot of agendas at play, it’s very uncomfortable and it feels to me and a lot of other people that there is a transfer of power.”
People fought for Gov’t to change direction- Rosan
According to Rosan, the people fought for the government to change their direction but it seems the UK is instead taking over the reins of power.
“So what is it that we’re really working here for? Are we really working to better this territory or is it a transfer of power?”
The protestors said they are uncomfortable feeling like a gun has been placed at the head of the VI.
Rosan said she had been given a pass to the press conference as a representative of Tola Radio and she would be seeking some answers from Governor John J. Rankin, CMG.
More details to follow.

Only self hatred could have the VI in us current state. Same goes for the other Caribbea island sexcept Haiti..
A pile of gross and wasted humanity ..
Respect has been lost for the BVI as a result of the change it has made and the depth to which it has willingly sunk.
The waring illiterate and educated fools claiming to be activists are an embarrassment and an unwelcome nuisance whose regrettable favor of Belongership is akin to throwing pearls at pigs.
I ming to be
The previous Governor ( Jaspert) expressed a like sentiment during his BVI appointment
The "overstepping" in this current BVI tragedy was done by Cindy..
Karma never fails.
Pay attention.
For starters,she is an enemy.of cf the BVI.
Anybody who take on that crazy Mika Barry woman is just as bad as her. If she can create a fake page, that showes that she herself is fake.
" 3 is a crowd"
