ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI-There will be no ‘BVI Christmas’ with carrot cakes, coconut tarts and Guavaberry wine for controversial Governor Augustus J. U. Jaspert as it seems even the pandemic can t keep him in the Virgin Islands for the holidays.
According to a press release from Government Information Service (GIS) on December 18, 2020, Governor Jaspert, who has been under fire for what some have deemed as insensitive and racist remarks about reparations for chattel slavery and the preservation of names of landmarks in honour of perpetrators of the brutal acts of slavery, will be out of the Territory until early January 2021.
