‘Leave the people girl children’- Hon Fahie warns senior public officials
Hon Fahie made the disturbing revelations during the continuation of the Seventh Sitting of the First Session of the Third House of Assembly at parliament chambers in Road Town, Tortola on March 24, 2016. The former Minister for Education Hon Fahie also said he has received reports about some senior public officials using profanities towards public servants, including females.
“But I am sounding a warning. I am asking first that those in senior positions keep your hands to yourself and leave the public servants who are females, let them come and do their job, whether they single or whether they married, leave them so they could produce for this country.”
According to Hon Fahie, some of these transgressions are known by certain government officials but they choose to sweep them under the rug. “Since the powers that be want to always sweep under the rug when it comes to these things... leave the people girl children.”
Obviously emotional about the matter, Hon Fahie said issues of sexual harassment are affecting the productivity of the civil service since persons are not willing to have to deal with certain persons who are in the habit of making advances. “And they telling me they can’t make it to the front of the public service because they quote unquote ‘aint giving up their front’ so they can’t make it to the front. It sounds harsh but I have girl children and since I got to come to this House to deal with certain things that are being covered up by certain entities …I can’t say all the Government know.”
At this time Opposition Leader Hon Julian Fraser RA (R3) asked: “What about the men too?”
“I didn’t want to say that part because it have some men have started to come to me to the office to make the same complaints, but I going to leave out that part because I told them go to the weight room and get strong and defend yourselves,” Hon Fahie replied.
Some senior officials using “cuss words” to public servants
Another report Hon Fahie was peeved about was concerning the unprofessional conduct of some senior public officials.
“Another set of persons told me that in the Public Service there are persons in senior positions that are using profanities in the public setting like it is nobody’s business. Speaking to them like they are trash, and they are females. And I take that very seriously.”
According to him, public servants are discouraged from taking their complaints against wrongdoings to higher levels of management since they know some of the offenders are closely knitted to the National Democratic Party (NDP) Government and they know that nothing will come out of their complaints.
Hon Fahie further said he was even privy to a complaint being made by someone in the public service to “the highest level” and it went nowhere. “I was there sitting when somebody made a complaint against one individual at the highest level and the person making the complaint had to answer more questions than the person that was trying to get to the young lady.”

Moreever, complaints of sexual harassment, sexual destimination or unwanted sexual advances must be truthful. They are serious charges and should not be used for malicious purposes to hide poor performance, to get a even with someone, blackmail someone.....etc. Similar severe consequences should be employed for persons who maliciously complain about sexual harassment, sexual discrimnation...etc. People have to protect themselves , ie, avoid certain circumstances, avoid certain conversations......etc. The work place should exude pride and professionalism. Government has enough challenges; it does not need any more. As the Hon Fahie says keep your hands to yourselves and off of people girl and boy children. Girl and boy children must carry themselves with dignity. Disagree with the Hon Fahie that men should go to the gym and pump iron to defend against sexual predators. No. Government should be an equal opportunity employer with equal protection under the law.
