VIP Gov’t to host ‘Inaugural Territorial Address' on May 16, 2024
Premier Wheatley in a statement on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, said his government will discuss its past accomplishments and present goals; ideas on solving the VI's challenges, celebrating accomplishments and how to put its best foot forward as it continues to work towards, “Building a Sustainable Nation”.
Laying the groundwork for success
“I assure the people of the Virgin Islands that we are guided by a strong and clear vision. We have passed a National Sustainable Development Plan. We are now dedicating the resources to transform that Plan into a series of practical steps which will move us from plans to progress. We are laying the groundwork for sustained excellence over time.”
He said like many small territories, the VI faces a long road of hard work ahead, “I stand before you today with a steadfast belief in our ability to not only complete this work but also to continue as a leader among nations.”
He said the VI is prepared to take the essential steps to prioritise its greatest asset, human resources, and foster its continued confidence in leadership.
People first
“I say this with a heart full of admiration and appreciation. My people have a proven historical record to withstand. We have a reputation for trail-blazing freedom, and overcoming adversities in the wake of man-made and natural disasters. We are a people who have rebuilt and transformed our society with our heads held high,” he added.
The Premier said resilience in the VI is collectively demonstrated on a day-to-day basis as the people of the territory press towards development across social, economic, and political spheres while simultaneously equipping themselves to be world-class citizens.
“For this reason, my confidence in my government and the people of the Virgin Islands is reinforced and amplified. My administration pledges to continue to deliver for the people of the Virgin Islands through strategic national transformation,” he said.

And say is his Civil service. We have managers, supervisors, well paid " Senior staff to ensure proper and professional dispensing of services..Not always telling the customers when they seek information we will call you just to brush them off and never did. As my good Premier you get a "Big Fat Capital F" for service rendered..
That said: Stealth’s advice is golden. I’d also suggest three months or so living on a $2,500 month salary, drive and fix your own used car, having to carry potable water home and deal with the vagaries of BVI Electricity. Get out there and see how the voters live. See how much is left over every month. Alas, none of this will happen, and we will be once again regaled to meaningless puffery from someone in a suit who lives a comfortable life that includes tax payer funded junkets around the world.
