‘It’s a different ball game’- Hon Alvera Maduro-Caines
Hon Maduro-Caines said, however, that “there are certain things” that could have been done differently, again hinting that the National Democratic Party (NDP) Government is divided.
In fact, speaking on the online radio show, Fresh Radio Vybz with Paul A. Peart aka ‘Gadiethz’ on January 2, 2018, Hon Maduro-Caines said as a party “we are not always going to agree on everything as is the case of any relationship…we will have differences of opinion but that does not mean we are divided where we would fall.”
A different ball game
Hon Maduro-Caines and Junior Minister for Trade and Investment Promotions, Hon Marlon A. Penn (R8) abstained from voting on the CDB loan approval on December 20, 2017 in the HoA. This can be considered a vote against the Motion.
“There are certain things that could have been done differently, not that I don’t think we need a loan, we do need monies to help with rebuilding the country but there are some stuff that I wouldn’t really go into on the radio…but its working itself out, we are working it out,” Hon Maduro-Caines stated, but did not say what were the things that should have been done differently.
But, according to her, it is not something Party Members will allow to fester.
“I am not disagreeing with the loan…It’s a different ball game. There are things that persons outside don’t understand but it’s not a matter of disagreeing.”
The defiance and division among the NDP Government was played out boldly on December 13, 2017 when Second District Representative Hon Melvin M. Turnbull (R2) stated in the House of Assembly that Premier and Minister of Finance Dr The Hon D. Orlando Smith (AL) lied when he said Government played an active role in the cleaning up of his district following hurricanes Irma and Maria.
Hon Turnbull had also stated that he and others in the Party believe Dr Smith should give his portfolio of Finance to Minister for Health and Social Development Hon Ronnie W. Skelton (AL).
Cut the red tapes
Meanwhile, Hon Maduro-Caines said she believes the Territory has come a long way since the hurricanes, especially with "the limited finances," even though even she sometimes becomes impatient.
“It’s a lot of work and it’s not going to take a day to get it done, it’s going to take a while.”
She said while she is aware Premier Smith is giving Hon Skelton some money to assist persons whose homes were damaged and were displaced during the hurricanes more can be done.
“I feel good in my heart but I am a Russian, I like to see things done fast,” noting that in these situations some of the red tapes needed to be cut so the people can be helped in a timely manner.

Changes do comes and we also have to accept the fact that the BVI has been transformed due to the disasters. We do not have what we used to cherish anymore. The youths needs employment, children need their schools reopen.
Stop being naive and let's make an effort to rebuild asap.
Whatever is taking place in the territory, the leader of the opposition has a moral responsibility similar the premier to represent the issues that are affecting the people/. It seems to me that his main focus is in District One. If that is the case then he will be elected at every General Election and remain a representative for District one and would not go any further.
The VIP needs to oil their machines and start in the various districts in readiness for a snap election because the writing is on the wall for the NDP. If the VIP allow the NDP to be at the starting gate before them, then it will be too much of an advantage. When one is in a battle field, the mission is to win. The VIP seems to lack the knock out punch because they are running round. It is about time the VIP organize all the District Committees to select prospective representatives for the General Election, so that if an election is called they are prepared.
