TORTOLA, British Virgin Islands, CMC- The administration of Premier Dr. Natalio Wheatley has launched a campaign that will highlight the government’s achievements to the public
Earlier this week, Wheatley announced the introduction of the Government Business at Its Best initiative, which he said aligns with his government’s commitment to transparency and accountability.
With many of the recommendations coming from the Commission of Inquiry (COI) report either completed or well underway, Wheatley said his government is now setting up structures and practices to ensure that it continues to not only do things right but also keep doing things in a better way.
“We seek to ensure that the COI implementation framework grows deeper and more meaningful as we shift into completion mode.’
The Premier said the new Government Business at Its Best initiative, which was also described as a modern governance approach, is aimed at informing and educating stakeholders on the implementation of the recommendations and is expected to aid in providing necessary information to stakeholders.
He further explained that the initiative’s aim is also to eliminate the spread of any inaccurate, misinformed, or misleading perceptions about the work that the government and public officers have been doing to implement the 49 recommendations coming from the COI, the progress that has been made, and the government’s other commitments and achievements.
“Our reporting will henceforth go beyond simply reporting on recommendations completed to communicating our overarching theme, government business at its best, through our ten key messages,” he stated.
