To politicise ‘Fast Track’ immigration matter was very distasteful - Hon Wheatley
Legislators of the National Democratic Party and Progressive Virgin Islands Movement in particular used the matter to villify the VIP administration, while trying to score political points ahead of the general elections just days away.
“It makes people feel that somehow something sinister went on… and then my colleague was talking about too fast, well I don’t know any right pace for anything,” he added.
On the advice of Governor John J. Rankin, CMG, in consultation with Premier Dr the Hon Natalio D. Whealtey (R7), the 4th House of Assembly (HOA) was on, April 17, 2023, recalled by Governor Rankin to validate the status of 688 persons who were granted simultaneous Belongership and Residency Certificates under the Government’s "Fast Track’ process when they did not qualify for both.
“I agree with the Governor to some extent, let's put it to rest… let all of those persons who got status know, you’re ok. No one can come and question it,” he added.
“It’s not about VIP, it's about people’s lives and families, persons who are trying to make this place their home.. finally felt like that they are part of a community,” he added.
Matter should have been discreet - Hon Wheatley
He added that for the persons making the community of those who were regularised feel like something went wrong, it was not the right way to go about the matter as it was not the fault of those regularised under the fast-track issue.
“I agree with the member of the Third [District], when he said this should have been settled in a more discreet matter, don’t have to be no public debacle,” he said.
Hon Wheatley said while it was historic that the house was recalled, it may not be the last.
He added that noting was illegal about the Fast-Track process, rather just an oversight that caused legislators to have to be back in the House after it dissolved.

Did nothing major at FSC.

Speaks eloquently but does no work other than find how to seem busy.
Is this is the well-planned mischief the Governor organized so we can fight each other and destroy each other, and this would help him to influence the elections and get the government he wants to assist with his British planned takeover as he would be seen as our only hope? The Auditor General report should be challenged in court as some of what is written is unprofessional but serves the purpose of the real intent to try to influence the elections.
NDP with Lorna in a drinking corner looking out for rich Pale friends
1) Make it seem as if the Government did something wrong again and he is the knight in shinning armor to sweep in & save the day & good governance.
2) Threaten to take off 700 names off the voters list so they do not get to vote for who he does not want in power.
3) Open back the House to save the 700 names on the voters list but while doing so he gets more mischief done by getting the auditor general report on the VIP fast track for belongers only and not the NDP one in 2019 before the last elections for only a few rich white friends.
4) He knows the well malicious intended language they put in the auditor's report will do his job for him in getting the public to go against the VIP.
5) Divide the country further with locals verses expats especially those from the Caribbean.
6) Get to now pressure Immigration move to immediately approve his huge number of upper class Uk white friends.
7) Try to use this to try to justify why he should takeover and run the country by himself.
Talk about another well organized plot once again disguised as preserving good governance. Time alone will deal with these plots as he has plenty more to come because that is all he and his gang plans all day
Evil will flourish,when good people do nothing.
