Hon Fahie calls for Accountability Legislations
Hon Fahie announced that the implementation of Information Legislation; Conflict of Interest Legislation; Campaign Finance Legislation; and Whistleblowing Legislation will create a victorious Virgin Islands because it will promote transparency.
“As Virgin Islanders, especially us as leaders, we must put on the clothes of being our brother’s keeper; the clothes of transparency, accountability, integrity through our actions and not only through our words.”
He continued, “Actions such as the passing of Freedom of Information Legislation; Conflict of Interest legislation; Campaign Finance legislation; Whistle Blowing Legislation to protect public servants and other needed legislation as well as policies and decisions that will put Virgin Islanders in the front seat of the car rather than in the back or not in the car at all.”
The Leader of the Opposition explained that if the government implements these legislations, the people of the Virgin Islands will have more opportunities to voice their opinions and assist in decision making.
“Our forefathers taught us that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Let us get our house in order and stop using vinegar so that we can change the results and get to our desired destination during this generation. Remember for every positive action results in a positive reaction,” said Hon Fahie.
Hon Fahie announced his first interest to see the accountability legislation passed during his first address to the Territory last year. At the time, he placed emphases on the Freedom of Information Bill but the request for the Bill to be implemented in the Territory had fallen on deaf ears.
Hon Andrew A. Fahie also said he believes the Territory can manage its own affairs in an “accountable and transparent manner.”
