The arrest confirms the recently released UK report about the overall state of corruption and misuse of taxpayers' money. It's time for the current government to be dissolved. The UK should take back control until good governance can be re-established.
While this is appalling behavior from two high-level government officials, it doesn't reflect the nation or the government as a whole and shouldn't be used to justify the suspension of the BVI's constitution - a move that would be a step back for democracy.
The arrest of two high-level officials on drug-related charges sends a clear message: anyone involved in smuggling drugs into the US will be prosecuted, no matter who they are or what their position is. This is a win for the DEA.
