The Federal Cabinet of St. Kitts and Nevis and the Nevis Island Administration (NIA) Cabinet yesterday, March 17, met for the first Joint Cabinet Meeting of 2025, reaffirming their commitment to fostering collaboration and advancing national development. The meeting, held in St. Kitts at the Park Hyatt, focused on key national priorities, with discussions centered on strengthening inter-island cooperation, climate resilience, economic diversification, and national security.
“I want to say clearly that we’ve taken the IMF's recommendations very seriously in terms of consolidation and so forth, in terms of the tax regime, some of which we will address without bringing any extra burden to our people,” said PM Drew. “Now, when you look at the IMF Report, we expect that there will be growth this year because the economy-as I told you-this is our year of recovery as we transition our economy to end the heavy dependence on just the CBI program, and so we intend to take a number of measures.”
The justice system is built upon the principle that every individual is presumed innocent until proven guilty. This foundational concept is meant to uphold fairness and protect against wrongful condemnation. However, in the court of public opinion, this presumption often falters. The moment someone’s name is linked to an accusation, there is no doubt that the weight of suspicion can be suffocating to said individual, casting a long shadow over their character and reputation.
In recent times, road fatalities and injuries have sparked public outcry, calling on the government to impose harsher measures to address reckless driving. Tougher penalties have been introduced to curb the dangerous habits that threaten lives daily. Yet, here we are-still gasping at the unchanged and unacceptable actions of some motorists.
To coin the occasions of Black History Month and Valentine’s Day, let us take a moment to show love for our melanin, our heritage, and the essence of who we are. The deep and diverse hues of our skin reflect the collective beauty of African heritage and Black culture. From our radiant skin tones to our beautifully coiled and textured hair, we are a people wonderfully and uniquely made.
Black History Month is here-a time for celebration, recognition, and reflection for many societies and countries around the world. For some, it is an opportunity to educate and honour the struggles and triumphs of Black people throughout history. For others, it is a lifestyle-one where Black consciousness is not confined to a single month but embraced as a daily reality.
This week, St. Kitts and Nevis observed the 90th anniversary of the Buckley’s [Riot] Uprising (28th January 1935)-a defining moment in our nation’s history that played a crucial role in advancing the cause of social justice in the region. The uprising, in which three workers lost their lives and nine others were injured, was a bold statement against oppression and a catalyst for change that resonated beyond our shores.
The introduction of stricter penalties-along with the ticketed offenses- including separate charges for causing death and causing injury, signals that traffic offenses are being taken with the seriousness they deserve. For far too long, we have witnessed tragic accidents and lives cut short due to irresponsible behaviour on the road. Families have been left grieving, communities shattered and the nation collectively mourning lives lost in preventable incidents.
The start of a new calendar year carries a mix of emotions. For many, the first days of January bring excitement fueled by resolutions or anticipated life events. Others may face the stark reality of ongoing challenges, including financial instability or family issues. It is in these moments that the support of close-knit family and friends becomes essential.
Our twin-island Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, renowned for its lively traditions, transforms into a kaleidoscope of music, art and celebration at carnival time. The creative economy, exemplified during this period, is not only a reflection of our identity but also a powerful driver of social and economic development.
While debates often arise about whether men or women receive more recognition-given the prominence of Mother’s Day and International Women’s Day-the day of celebration offers an opportunity to set aside comparisons and simply celebrate one another. Both genders have their unique roles and contributions, and appreciating them together enriches our collective humanity.
What a truly horrific incident we witnessed this week. Two teenage boys, aged 16 and 19, were severely injured in an accident involving explosives associated with Guy Fawkes celebrations.
The Union’s call for unity and collective engagement is timely. In an evolving global economy, where challenges to workers’ rights are as dynamic as they are unprecedented, the need for a strong, proactive, and well-represented workforce cannot be overstated. The Union has taken a bold stance, urging not only its current members but also new workers to join the ranks to safeguard their rights, secure representation, and benefit from educational opportunities that are crucial in this fast-changing labour landscape.
Financial management, saving skills, and smart investments are not just topics for adults but essential life skills that everyone should acquire, starting from a young age. As a society, we need to embrace this awareness and empower ourselves, particularly in preparing the next generation for the financial realities of life.
