This is the second extension for Hon Malone in the post as Deputy Premier.

The latest extension of appointment was announced by Cabinet on May 5, 2020.

“NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the said of section 52 (3) of the said Constitution, and all other powers me thereunto enabling, I, AUGUSTUS J. U. JASPERT, Governor of the Virgin Islands, acting in accordance with the advice of the Premier, DO by this instrument under the Public Seal appoint you, HONOURABLE CARVIN MALONE, to be the Deputy Premier of the Virgin Islands for a further period of one (1) month, with effect from the 1st day of May, 2020 to the 31st day of May, 2020,” part of the instrument appointing Hon Malone read.

Rotation of Ministers as Deputy Premier

Premier and Minister of Finance, Honourable Andrew A. Fahie (R1) has said the rotation of ministers in the role of Deputy Premier for a period of three months has enabled the ministers to improve and helped them to become more surefooted and confident in their decision making.

“You cannot expect people to perform if you do not give them the tools, the training and the opportunity to develop and sharpen their skills,” Premier Fahie added.

He had said after the first year someone will be named permanently to the post.

All other ministers have already served their stint as Deputy Premier.

    Love HON Vincent Wheatley. However selfishly speaking from the 9th I won’t like him to get that position. The 9th District has been left out for sometime now. He getting that position can and will take away the focus of the 9th District. With the Deputy Premier position you would be required for traveling. That will also take away time from the ninth district. HON Malone is perfect for the spot.

    Well it is time for my favourite member in the House of Assembly to perform the duties of Deputy Premier. I speak of no other person than Hon. Sherry DE Castro. She has demonstrated a very cool personality that will no doubt allow her to function in that capacity. She is intellegent and has the future of this territory in her heart. As a true female of humility she will be able to embrace all of the members of both side of the isle and I am sure that she will do very well.

      That would be great but, the boys would never allow a woman to have that position. That is one of the reasons women in the BVI have to stand up and figure out a way to fight the big boys and humble them down. Let’s face it, women are fixers, women are the ones that will get things done not a bunch of egotistical always want to be in control men. TIME FOR A FEMALE PREMIER. Not because she is young, DeCastro is more smarter and well spoken than all of them put together. One day she is going to be the one running the Country, just watch. My granny said it and everything my granny says always come to light.

    I knew all along Malone would be the one to be Second in Command. Agree or not, they will act like they are not but, everyone wanted that position. Second in command is a powerful position to have.

    Premier Andrew A. Fahie, (R1), stop the rotating charade, be bold and appoint Carvin Malone (AtL), MHSD, as Deputy Premier. You should have a Deputy Premier from jump street. Nonetheless, he has earned the appointment by his crisis management performance.

    What is the rationale in giving everyone a do in the deputy post? To tell people you an unorthodox government?From when the party was sworn in one person should have been in that position.

    Showande should be the Deputy Premier. He is brilliant, well spoken, and has the people of the Virgin Island at the core of his being. He is a true servant. Also, he can represent us well on the international arena. Jus saying
