During the Premier’s One-on-One Update on Current Matters Press Briefing on January 6, 2023, talk show host Rosemary Cindy Rosan accused the Government of stuttering to answer her questions in relation to the hires.
“Two of the persons are not virgin Islanders and Belongers and they have lived in this territory for less than a year, GIS, when I requested, could not give me any information on the ads or the job, or the descriptions,' she said.
“Do you find it appropriate as the Premier to break the Labour laws, to hire persons who prefer to live in the BVI and not return home after it didn’t work out with the local companies they were hired through while qualified persons Virgin Islanders and Belongers sit at home unemployed,” she asked Premier Dr the Hon Natalio D. Wheatley (R7).
