      Labour dept is doing going the lengths and depths to check nothing. Patrons get away with falsifying documents all the time, that’s why over 90% of permits are approved, they do not do their due diligence.

    Lets start investigating all of those who applied for and were granted residency or belongership during that fast track farce, people who dont even live here for years being granted...even some who are admitted to the BVI Bar association, lied in their applications..dont luce here..not lived here for years.. ( full time residency is part of the requirement to apply, this all needs to be investigated properly and lawfully
