CAPPOON’S BAY, Tortola, VI – First District Representative Dr the Hon Dr Karl Dawson will make his first Annual District Report on Saturday, April 20, 2024, at 7:00 PM at the Cappoon’s Bay Field on the western end of Tortola.

Hon Dawson, the Junior Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries, indicated that he has held several meetings in the District since being elected about one year ago, but he thought it useful to give an annual report around the anniversary of taking office.

An annual district report was a key feature of the practice of his immediate predecessor in the District, former Premier Andrew A. Fahie.

According to Dr Dawson in a press release on April 18, 2024, the report will not only consider his activities in the District, but also as a legislator, member of Government and as Junior Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries.

Hon. Dawson said, “While the people of the First District did not elect me as Junior Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries, it is because they elected me, that I currently have the role and as such, I am also accountable to them for my performance in that area.

Report is a tradition of D1

Premier Dr the Hon Natalio D. Wheatley (R7) and members of government are also expected to be present at the First District Report and bring brief greetings and reports on their assigned areas. Premier Wheatley said, “I commend Honourable Dawson for retaining this tradition started by Former Premier and District Representative, Andrew Fahie, that has been a feature of accountability in the District for some time.”

He continued, “It is good for representatives to periodically and formally report to the constituents who elected them.”

The event will also showcase some of the talent in the district.

    The report is as follows:
    Week 1 - we had donkey race
    Week 2 - we had people selling cake at the side of the road
    Week 3 - good back to Week 1
    ..and so on and so forth.

    The end.

    Make sure to put in your report that you and others in the Government are sitting by silently and allowing a failing premier to destroy the well-being of the country.
