imothy is testing the waters. That is why he has resumed the Town Hall Meetings. He wants to see if he can call a snap elections now that three years have passed or go down to the end or near the end of the five year term.

Whenever he decides to call it, the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party has to win the elections.
Many persons did not vote for Labour because they had been duped into believing that Douglas had done so much wrong, he was so corrupt that even though the country was doing well under his leadership, a long jail sentence was awaiting him. So it made no sense to vote for his party.

And Timothy, if given the chance, could do even better.

Three years later, Dr. Denzil Douglas is still in the federation walking up and down, driving up and down, a free man.

All the FBI, DEA, CIA, RSS, who prior to the elections we were told were looking for Dr. Douglas to lock him up, must have all changed their minds.

Timothy, on the other hand, has about forty bodyguards to protect him.

Those who fell for the lies and the deception are more than disappointed. And because the government knows that is fool they were fooling sensible people, now they have a “bomb” to drop when they go to Douglas’ home town of St. Paul’s.

Three years on, not even a jaywalking ticket for Dr Douglas.

No seizing of his assets. No house arrest. No exile. And most importantly, no jail.
But they have “bomb” to drop.

Maybe Timothy may be thinking about another kind of “bomb”.

If right-thinking people spend some time examining every major and minor talking point of the Team Unity 2015 platform, it is so easy to see that everything was just pure lies and mischief.

Take for example the Basseterre High School.

Who would have ever thought that after having condemned the school and forced its abandonment, the same buildings would have been used to form part of the present BHS? Temporary or not.

Who would have expected that after having blamed the school and its environs for the cancer, the miscarriages, the rashes, the mange, the pus-filled sores, the swollen tongues, the headaches, the watering eyes, the coughs, the holes in the palms, the black palms, the rotting feet, the temporary blindness, the school yard would be the official parking lot for Music Festival and Carnival?

Who would have thought that the Team Unity government short list of possible sites for new State of the Art School would include the abandoned site, in the direct path of incoming aircraft and on the largest aquifer in the federation?

Who would have believed that the Metalwork Shop of the condemned, contaminated BHS would be used to make all the booths for the Carnival vendors in which food would be prepared and sold?

Well suppose the buildings were not contaminated and abandoned?

Consider the Citizenship by Investment Programme and all that was said by the Team Unity about it.

The federation’s passports were being sold like black pudding on a Saturday afternoon.
Now, it’s buy one get one free under Team Unity.

The SIDF was a slush fund. They would put the money into the Consolidated Fund so that proper accounting, among other good governance practices, could be done. Three years on, the Consolidated Fund must be lost.

And when we think about corruption, Team Unity takes the cake.

Up to now, no one on the outside is sure whether or not the government received sixteen million US or EC dollars from the Venezuelan government.

Not even the government ministers seem to know. Just ask Patches.

And among the persons to receive payments were the children of ex-SSMC workers who had died or had retired long before the industry had closed down.

Ask Timothy. Ask Lindsay.

And don’t talk about the crime.

Without ever revealing one single crime-solving solution, the Team Unity had all the answers to ending crime.

They made Dr. Douglas responsible for ever criminal activity that occurred in the federation. And when C. G. Walwyn was brought here to try to bring things under control, he was criticised and ridiculed at every turn.

Now we can see that the Team Unity government never suggested any solution because they had none then and they still do not have a clue now.

So much so, the minister of National Security, the prime minister, made it clear to the world that the buck stopped with the chief of police. Not him.

And that is yet another disappointment for those who felt that Timothy Harris and Team Unity just needed a chance to show what they could do.

And we have seen what they can do.

The nepotism. The scandals. The corruption. The greed. The incompetence.
Setting up from tent rental to cement and building materials companies.
Team Unity ministers not making joke with us.

And we the electorate should not make any joke with them either.
