Corruption? NDP blames Hon Fraser, Biwater & jailed civil servants!
The response, which many described as weak, allusive and poorly written, was sent to selective media houses, excluding the number one media house- Virgin Islands News Online.
However, as usual, because many of their own supporters trust VINO, it was emailed to us immediately after it was sent to “the media outlets it was instructed to be dispatched to”.
The statement was in response to Hon Fahie’s scathing attack on the actions of the NDP when he spoke on January 24, 2015 at Capoon’s Bay on the Western end of Tortola.
As was firstly and accurately reported by this news site, the response was issued yesterday January 27, 2015. The statement has not defended the NDP Administration’s record of the past three years and it is yet to answer the corruption allegation made by the former Education and Culture Minister and senior Virgin Islands Party (VIP) member.
Is it Hon Fraser, Biwater & Sea Cows Bay Habour Project’s fault?!
While not telling the people why they are not corrupt according to Fahie’s notion, they instead attacked the Chairman of the Virgin Islands Party Honourable Julian Fraser RA, (R3) who many believe will be the next Premier of the 28 thousand population British Overseas Territory.
The statement claimed that Hon Fraser sent Biwater three million dollars ($3m) for a generator. Research done by this news site confirmed that this is yet another NDP lie. In fact, the BVI Electricity Corporation (BVIEC) confirmed that they were the ones in 2010 that wired funds for the purchase of a generator in regards to obligations under the Biwater water purchase agreement.
However, the BVIEC Board requested that the funds be returned after the generator was not forthcoming in the time frame agreed and expected.
While avoiding answering the charge of corruption by Hon Fahie, the statement again attacked VIP boss Fraser, claiming that a project in his district saw work paid for but not done. In fact, again in this news site’s research, it was found to be very disingenuous. The Sea Cows Bay Habour Project, according to the Auditor General’s own report of 2014, saw some contractors being given mobilisation monies, but after the 2011 elections the same NDP regime stopped the project therefore the contractors were not able to fulfill their obligations under the contract.
We are not corrupt; civil servants went to jail under VIP!
Yet again avoiding answering the serious charge of corruption made against the unpopular NDP Administration, the statement engaged in its signature behavior of divisive politics. It said in the statement that “no Member of the Civil Service has ever been sent to jail under the National Democratic Party Government”.
This was a clear reference to three public officers who spent jail time for wrong doing, which could have happened regardless of which government was in power. Many residents saw this as divisive, unnecessary, inappropriate and more NDP gutter politics.
Still skillfully avoiding defending its own three-year record, the statement concluded with school house slogans warning that “those who live in Glass Houses should not throw stones”.
