VI should make proposals rather than accept instructions- Hon Malone - calls out territory for being too reactive

BAUGHERS BAY, Tortola, VI– Opposition Member Honourable Carvin Malone (AL) has called out the Virgin Islands (VI) for being in a reactive state rather than proactive when it comes to policies.

While proposing a framework for a master plan that could become the "One BVI agenda" for a sustainable socio-economic development and political advancement, Hon Malone said the VI remains too reactive.

“We are too comfortable waiting until something happens before we react, we are too comfortable fighting against everything as opposed to developing,” he added during the Honestly Speaking show on ZBVI 780 AM on July 26, 2022.

'VI should make proposals rather than accept instructions'

The former Health Minister said the VI must ask key questions about what it wants and does not want and whether it is prepared to fight for it.

“Everyone is always talking about they are prepared to advance the fight, and whenever the battle comes you can’t find a person,” he added while agreeing that VI should be making proposals rather than accepting instructions.
