NDP corruption being felt in Gov’t Depts & Ports of Entry
The list of persons also accusing the NDP 1 of corruption includes former Governor, John S. Duncan OBE, who said it publicly and recently again, Hon Julian Fraser RA (R3) on the campaign trail.
Many talk show hosts including Edmund G. Maduro and Julio S. Henry have all dubbed the NDP 1, now led by Hon Myron V. Walwyn (AL) as completely ‘corrupt.’
Millions & Millions stolen
They have cited Millions and Millions of dollars unaccounted for in taxpayers’ money from a small wall around the Elmore Stoutt High School (ESHS) with a price tag of $1.6M, now the subject of a police investigation with Mr Walwyn at the mist of it.
Those who are crying corruption also cite a plane scam where $7.2M was pillaged out of the treasury, yet the country does not have a plane. Further, they point to the $40M overrun at the Ports Projects and a $16M loan for new roads, yet no roads some 2 years after Hurricanes Irma and Maria of 2017.
The list of drying the public purse goes on to including some $10M for the airport consultancy with no report or achievements and $8 million illegally moved to the overpriced Tortola Pier Project (TPP), while students and the elderly are today walking the streets on East End and Long Look in raw sewerage.
Schools and Gov’t debts have no supplies
This alleged corruption and stealing have now for months been affecting government departments and schools.
Many government departments are not in a position to purchase basic supplies that include papers, forms like work permit applications and schools from Anegada to Jost van Dyke are still complaining about the lack of supplies and teaching aids.
Recently, Immigration and Customs were not in a position to have entry forms to give to the airlines, so when passengers arrive at TB Lettsome International Airport, they must get the forms in the Immigration area.
Due to financial hardship, the department cannot afford to print enough to give the airlines so they can be filled out on the plane according to a senior immigration officer.
Can’t speak
Other departments including some under the Deputy Governor’s Offices are also reported to be facing challenges in purchasing tools essential to the office.
Many in the Government and some Heads of Department are still tight-lipped over this issue.
