People not being told the truth! – Edmund Maduro
After perusing the documents however, talk show host Edmund Maduro is not convinced that the record is clear and the people of the Territory have the full picture.
“The people are not being told the truth, we don’t know what is happening,” Maduro stated on the EGM show aired last evening, February 13, 2014 on ZRod 103.7FM.
According to the host, during the signing ceremony held with NCL and DCL in January, Premier Dr the Hon. D. Orlando Smith and Minister for Communications and Works Hon. Mark H. Vanterpool also affixed their signatures to the agreements.
However, when Maduro collected his copy at the High Court Registry, a different scenario emerged. “I went and I got a copy and I saw no signature of the Premier nor the Minister of Communication and Works,” Maduro said.
He noted that the only signatures found on the documents he uplifted were for the Managing Director of the BVI Ports Authority Mr Claude Skelton Cline and that of the Chairman of the Ports Authority Mr Edward deCastro.
“We have to wonder what is happening here. Who is lying to who?” Maduro questioned.
During the show, which was co-hosted by Rajah A. Smith, Maduro reminded listeners that the Executive authority of the Virgin Islands rested in the hands of the United Kingdom Government which he described as the powerhouse, “We are not independent yet,” the host pointed out.
“[Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II] can fire them all,” Maduro reminded, “this is why [the Queen] went into Turks and Caicos islands so that she could set that Territory into good shape again.”
Maduro said he was disappointed about his discovery about the signatures that were absent and asked, “Can we rely on what we are being told?”
