BVI Govt announces Initiative to counter misinformation
Premier Dr Natalio Wheatley has launched a campaign highlighting 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 are seeking to ensure that the COI implementation framework grows into something deeper and more meaningful as we shift into completion mode”, he said.
The Premier said the new Government Business at Its Best initiative, which was also described as a modern governance approach, is not only aimed at informing and educating stakeholders on the implementation of the recommendations but 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.
