British Virgin Islands: Premier Dr. D. Orlando Smith has defended some of those persons who have received contracts since his government came into office. His wife Lorna Smith was one such person he referred to, according to a BVInews.com report.
The Premier made the comments while he was making final statements at the end of the radio programme, NDP Radio, last night.
The BVInews.com report stated that the Minister said, “We’ve been criticised for some of the contracts we have given out. Basically contracts have been given out so that we can get the work of the people done and I must say that we have been pleased with the results so far. I also want to say that among these contractors it was said that my wife Lorna was also given a substantial contract…I think it is important to say that; you and many other people really want to contribute to help the progress of this country and it is unfortunate when people make those allegations.”
