Edmund G. Maduro calls for UK direct rule; Willock disagrees
At the time, Mr Willock raised concerns over the Government not addressing the audited financial reports and spoke to the violations of the Public Financial Management Act.
At this time, Mr Maduro told the public on the show that Governor John S. Duncan OBE should have already dissolved the House of Assembly (HoA) over this matter.
Bring on Direct rule-Maduro
Mr Maduro, a former Chief Immigration Officer and host of the EGM show, asked “Did the UK not take over the Turks and Caicos Islands when the government failed?”
He said it is time for the UK to “impose direct rule on the BVI as the government is not accountable and continues to violate the laws of the Territory.”
However, his guest Mr Willock disagreed and said he is “opposed to direct rule.” Noting that while there is a lot to be desired by this Administration, Mr Willock made clear “I am strongly opposed to UK direct rule.”
Mr Willock also explained the Budget and its process and said he was disappointed that legislators did not explain to the public “how the Budget works.”
The host asked Mr Willock, again, if he was running for office, to which Mr Willock noted that “I am not ready to make an announcement.”
The big question
However, Mr Willock stated that one can also make a contribution to building the country in many other ways besides political office and, while noble, “is just one of many ways.” He listed others in the community making meaningful contributions, like teachers, firefighters, doctors, the men and women that keep the lights and water on, along with many non-government organisations such as the Family Support Network, which he said is “doing a lot of meaningful work.”
Finally, Mr Willock warned that we as a country need to be vigilant with politicians in the HoA who are starting to preach and becoming biblical. He said there is a Satan in the HoA; however, his message was "Satan, you can’t prevail.”

The Edmund Maduro is dangerously deluded.
What can (or will) anyone do about it?
Rome burned while Nero fiddled. The BVI might burn while Walwyn rants in the House about JW.
