Fahie wants to pay citizens for ‘Good Ideas’
The former Opposition Leader was at the time responding to questions on how he intends to move the country into a finically prosperous future, to which he responded that the solution to major issues in the territory already exists in the VI.
Think Tank Committee
“Another area is to make sure we have a think tank committee… most of the solutions we need are right here, but the [NDP] government have stopped listing to the people,” Mr Fahie told the press on Monday, January 7, 2019, in the studios of the Caribbean Broadcast Network (CBN) in Road Town, Tortola.
He says that ideas matter regardless of their origin and one way to get those ideas is by staying in contact with the people of the territory.
“One of the things we want to do is stay in constant contact with the people but also, to have a think tank committee, right here for the people by our people, a good idea is a good idea no matter where it comes from,” he said.
Election Promise?
Mr Fahie continued, “And also to institute… once the idea works, how do we be able to give a stipend to the person who brought that idea to government and it worked,” he underscored.
The VIP Chairman is adamant that citizens must be compensated for ideas that can push the territory forward in his quest to encourage cooperation.
“If you give a good idea and it works, you should be rewarded in some shape or form once the country benefits from it.”
It is unclear how much compensation citizens will receive for their ideas, however, Hon Fahie has pledged to work, ‘hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder,’ with the people of the VI if elected Premier.

get the roads fix.
get sewage fix.
legalise marijuana.
Another thing, my advice to Mr. Fahie is to stay focused on the solutions and issues. We don't want to hear anything about what NDP had not done or is not doing. We are not interested in character assassinations. Learn from the world stage, that old time type politics no longer works. We will be turned off if you do not change course.
However, You will be turned off. I want an account of where my tax dollars went. That’s just good financial management.
