    Fix the Process, Fix the Problem

    FIX THE PROCESS, FIX THE PROBLEM How Do We Build Government Processes That Actually Work? In Part 1, we asked: “Accountability or Excuses?” Now, let's talk about solutions. In Part 2 of BVI Buzz, Gary Rhymer takes a deeper look at government accountability through the lens of systems, technology, and process design. With more than 20 years of experience in IT and business processes, Gary explores how government can strengthen accountability by building better systems, not simply by trying to determine who is responsible after something goes wrong.

    Accountability or Excuses?

    Accountability or Excuses? Fixing Government Processes in the BVI — Part 1 What happens when government processes fail, and nobody seems to know who is responsible? In Part 1 of this BVI Buzz conversation, Gary Rhymer takes a closer look at government accountability, financial controls, and the processes that are supposed to protect public resources and deliver effective services. Drawing from more than 20 years of experience working in IT across both the private and public sectors, Gary explores why strong organizations rely on clear ownership, defined workflows, approval hierarchies, electronic controls, audit trails, and measurable accountability. The conversation isn't about attacking individuals. It's about asking a bigger question: Are we dealing with a people problem or a process problem? What system allowed this to happen and what needs to change to prevent it from happening again? Because accountability shouldn't begin after something goes wrong. It should be built into the process from the beginning. 🎙️ This is Part 1 of the conversation. Listen. Think. Share. Join the conversation. BVI Buzz — Bringing the BVI conversation forward.

    Follow the Money

    In September, the Auditor General released a detailed report exposing major gaps in transparency surrounding the 2024 salary increases for public officers. While many civil servants finally received overdue raises after more than 20 years without an adjustment, the report also revealed that members of the House of Assembly selected the highest salary range for themselves, increasing their total compensation by 119% without full disclosure to the public or Cabinet. This episode breaks down the facts in plain language: What PwC recommended, what Cabinet approved, what was hidden from financial briefs, and why the Auditor General flagged “incomplete financial information.” We also examine the government’s official response, calls for transparency from Hon. Myron Walwyn, and rising public pressure for accountability. This is more than politics; it’s about public trust.
