Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands, 4^th June 2025 – Premier Honourable Charles Washington Misick and his government have concluded a series of events and initiatives commemorating their first 100 days in office. These activities, designed to highlight the government’s early accomplishments, also serve to reinforce its unwavering commitment to transparency, keeping you, the citizens of the Turks and Caicos Islands, informed and involved in our service delivery and national development.

On May 18, 2025, marking 100 days since taking office, the Premier released a video message on his official social media platforms and the national broadcaster Radio Turks and Caicos. In his address, he outlined key achievements and reflected on his government’s strategic direction, stating:

“These achievements are not just checkboxes — they are building blocks. We are not claiming victory — we are claiming momentum. In our first 100 days, we’ve laid the groundwork for lasting change by leading with vision, discipline, and heart.”

Demonstrating this ongoing momentum, Premier Misick appeared on the First Edition Show with host Cheryl-Ann Forman on May 27. They delved into matters of national importance, including healthcare reform, the migration of youth, and the persistent challenge of crime. Acknowledging the difficulties ahead, the Premier reiterated his government’s unwavering commitment to tackling these issues head-on, providing reassurance and instilling confidence in our collective ability to overcome these challenges. Notably, he cited the deployment of tactical officers from Jamaica and Barbados as a signal of regional partnership and a firm step in reinforcing public safety.

Later that day, the Premier hosted a special luncheon at the Beaches Resort, celebrating 100 outstanding public servants from various ministries. The Premier’s recognition of these individuals for their continued dedication and service to the people of the Turks and Caicos Islands is a testament to their value and importance in the governance of the Turks and Caicos Islands. In his remarks, Premier Misick stated: “Excellent public service is more than efficiency—it is about integrity, commitment, and accountability. It is the backbone of good governance.”

The event also recognized Deputy Governor Anya Williams for her exceptional leadership and ongoing efforts to strengthen the public sector.

As part of the government’s broader community outreach efforts, parliamentarians were dispersed across the Turks and Caicos Islands visiting all government primary schools on June 2. During these visits, they planted 10 trees at each school, engaged with students and staff, and reinforced the importance of environmental stewardship and education.

These initiatives underscore the Premier’s continued focus on building stronger institutions, investing in people, and fostering a more secure, inclusive, and resilient Turks and Caicos Islands.

As the government moves beyond its first 100 days, it does so with a clear mandate, renewed energy, and an unwavering commitment to progress.
