‘NDP is corrupt’ – Hon Andrew A. Fahie (R1)
He made the scathing remarks during the delivery of his First District Annual Report on Saturday evening January 24, 2015 at the Capoon’s Bay Recreational Grounds. Present with him was Chairman of the Virgin Islands Party (VIP) Honourable Julian Fraser RA (R3).
“This government has been the most corrupt government in the modern history of this Territory,” Hon Fahie said. “They have repeatedly used this Territory as their personal piggy banks; and they have refused to adhere to the principles of good governance,” he said.
“Project NDP has proven to be morally and politically bankrupt and corrupt,” he said.
“They only adhere to the rules when it benefits them and theirs. After all, Crafts alive was well over a million dollars and no tendering was done for that project; Spooner Estate roads and walls was well over a million dollars and no tendering was done for that project; Georgie Hill road project was well over a million dollars and no tendering was done for that project. The list can go on and on,” he said.
“We are for the petty contract system. As a matter of fact the VIP created the petty contract system to empower the people not to punish the people. The tendering process cannot be ignored but that cannot be used only when it is convenient to eliminate persons,” said Hon Fahie.
“They have ensured jobs for their boys; projects for their friends; and have left you to fend through getting the crumbs from their corrupted tables. But we are a people of dignity and we are saying enough,” he declared.
“We are saying that the people's time will soon come. We are saying that the election must have consequences for those involved in corruption and kickbacks,” he charged.
“The people deserve better; and the people shall get better. As the psalmist says: weeping endureth for the night, but joy cometh in the morning. With team VIP a better day is coming!” he declared.

This is the same guy who told the VIP in their face they are corrupt with this biwater deal and cost them the election, Now he want to win back their trust but no one in the country can trust him.
This statement is basically the pot calling the kettle black.
