Rosan-Jones calls on Gov’t workers to ‘sick-out’ - Organises three days of protests against HoA Speaker & Fahie administration over personal spat

ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – Government critic and talk show host, Rosemary Cindy Rosan-Jones has called on Government workers to stage a massive sick-out over her personal grievances with the Andrew A. Fahie (R1) administration and House of Assembly Speaker, Hon Julian Willock.

The call was made on November 8, 2021, via a number of posters circulating on Facebook and comes as the talk-show host has been engaging in making disrespectful comments against members of the Virgin Islands (VI) House of Assembly, including Deputy Premier and Education Minister, Dr the Hon Natalio D. Wheatley (R7).

Upholding the laws of the VI

Rosan-Jones in a Facebook post of November 8, 2021, said, “It is unfortunate that we are at this point in our history, but it is necessary. Upholding rule of law is the most important element of keeping a nation from falling into anarchy. We cannot allow our leaders to use our highest office, to take us there,” she said.

Part of the mission of the series of anti-government marches organised by the talk-show host spanning November 18, 19, and 22, 2021, is to propose that HoA Speaker Hon Willock pay some $120,000 in court feeds in his personal capacity, over a court matter that was taken to the courts in his professional capacity as Speaker of the House.

The Speaker and his Deputy had filed the injunction against three Commission of Inquiry (CoI) lawyers, Bilal M. Rawat, Andrew King, and Rhea Harrikissoon, who were accused of breaking VI laws by practicing law in the territory while not being called to the Virgin Islands Bar- a violation of the Legal Profession Act 2015- while carrying out a good governance probe.
