Walwyn slams Premier for too much ‘partying’

Sixth District Representative Myron Walwyn has criticised Premier Dr Natalio Wheatley for neglecting his legislative duties in favour of excessive social activities.

Walwyn’s remarks followed a House of Assembly sitting that was deemed invalid due to procedural breaches. The controversy arose after Second District Representative Melvin ‘Mitch’ Turnbull highlighted that the government had violated Standing Order 8(1)(d) by providing only eight days’ notice for the sitting instead of the required 10. The Speaker ruled in favour of the opposition, declaring the sitting invalid.

During a recent interview on ZBVI News, Walwyn contended that this situation resulted from the Premier’s lack of attention to legislative responsibilities.

“The Premier has to settle down, stop the partying, stay off the radio from talking political nonsense, and get into his office and start to do some work,” Walwyn said.

He further emphasised the importance of the financial services sector to the territory’s economy and criticised the Premier’s handling of related legislative matters.
