Hon De Castro to ask questions!

In a rare occurrence, questions will also come from the Government side of the aisle as the Junior Minister for Tourism and Territorial Member Hon Sharie B. De Castro will bring up the matter of the Commission of Inquiry into governance.

Ho De Castro is to ask the Premier and Minister of Finance, Honourable Andrew A. Fahie (R1): “(a) What is the Government’s policy in respect of the recent Commission of Inquiry? (b) What is the function and remit of the independent Inquiry Response Unit set up by the Government under the Attorney General? And (c) What is the progress of its work to date?”

Hon De Castro will also want to know what resources have been given to the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force within the last three years to help combat crime and what are the plans to be implemented to reduce the apparent rise of more serious crimes.

Meanwhile, the Opposition Leader Hon Marlon A. Penn (R8) will have a series of questions on financial accountability.
