Our former Premier Dr. Orlando Smitty done well at times, but was weak other times. No point going in details. What have been done are done
In my honest opinion our Hon. Current Prjer is very deceptive, and dies not have the citizens, residents, and belingerd intersty at heart., His second in command Hon. Natalio Sajande Wheatley is not qualified Spiritually, mentally, socially, economically and honestly for the position he now hold, neither does his boss, our current Premier.
Much better leadership is urgently needed as soon as posibk I hope the the voter would push aside selfishness, ignorance, personal greed, family ties, and so-called friendship for a better BVI after the CoI recommdations comes into force, and wise head prevail over unwise ones for the betterment of our country going firwds.
My honest ooinuooys have bey honestly expressed. Please respect ssme.
Thank you.kindly.
