UK unlikely to grant request to remove Order in Council– Hon Malone
Hon Malone made the comment while appearing as a guest on JTV’s The Big Story on August 9, 2022, with host Cathy O. Richards.
Conditions already agreed to - Hon Malone
“We have an order which has been laid and basically the Governor has clearly stated that unless each and every one of the conditions that were agreed are adhered to… or put in place, then he can wake up one morning, call the office, have it gazetted… and that is done,” he said.
“They would not have to go back to the House of Parliament. You asked the question the other day, did you seek to get it off? I would put it to you that even if you seek to get it off, you would not get it off.”
Hon Malone said should the UK withdraw the Virgin Islands Constitution (Interim Amendment) Order 2022, that would significantly hamper their plans, starting with the Commission of Inquiry, which was a conclusion already written.
“This is the path that they intend to go with all of this. What we've done here also is that most of the suggestions for changes to the Constitution are now being embedded in the terms of reference of the new constitutional review.
“The answers to what we're asking the Constitution Commission to look at, had already been suggested by the Commissioner,” he said.
VI people must fight for what they want - Hon Malone
Hon Malone illustrated that matters to be addressed in the VI’s constitutional review have been developed by the UK, along with an agreement to implement all of the 49 CoI recommendations.
“So if there is something in there that differs from what the population wants, how then do we reconcile that?,” he questioned pointing out that what has been agreed to will have to be enforced.
He called on the people of the VI to get together and fight for what they want, rather than having to fight against what the UK is suggesting.

Are you unable to think up a handle for yourself? Let me help. Dummer #@&* would seem to suit.
Question is by who, can we do it ourselves?
Most people don’t think so..
Let us get serious and say to Carvin Malone,. " we don't want to hear from you anymore. When you were Min of Health, you knew everything concerning what was good for us. You knew more than Dr Potter, Lady Harmony, Dr George's, Dr Smith,Pickering ,and the rest. Just by getting that ministry ,made you the here.. you were one of those who helped with labeling others as runners with the conspiracy theory. And giving plate of food for taking the vaccines".
You were the big black cat, wherever you said it was a done deal.
The UK found out you were cr***00d when they throw the court house project on you ,without having to deal with the government at that time, and here you are trying to get us to have a listening air for you. Noway . No way
vote them out
He should be running an ice cream stall on a beach somewhere.
