The report from the survey conducted across Saint Kitts was presented to the Water Services Department on October 06, 2025. At the Sitting of the National Assembly on Friday, October 17, 2025, Minister of Public Infrastructure, the Honourable Konris Maynard, shared that 17 sites have been identified with the promise to provide potable water – that is, water safe for consumption.

It is not only a question for the courts. It is a question for every household, every policymaker, every teacher, every neighbour, every man and woman. We often speak about crime prevention with children, encouraging them to “count to three,” to “walk away,” to “breathe before reacting.” These are valuable lessons that aim to instil emotional intelligence and self-control. But what are we doing to ensure those lessons stick into adulthood? Who is teaching mature adults to manage conflict, to seek help, to de-escalate, to feel their pain without transferring it violently onto someone else?
Change is often met with resistance. It is human nature to feel inconvenienced when accustomed habits are disrupted, even when the change is for the greater good. The government has taken a bold and necessary step by phasing out single-use plastic bags with a ban on the sale and distribution of such, a move aimed at fostering a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future. While some may grumble at the adjustment, it is imperative that we, as responsible citizens and residents, understand the long-term benefits and embrace the responsibility entrusted to us.
When a young person dies, society often pauses, if only briefly, to mourn the unfairness of it all. The loss of someone so young is particularly jarring because it reminds us of life’s fragile nature. But beyond the shock and sorrow, beyond the outpouring of grief on social media, do we ever truly learn? Or do we allow the cycle to continue, only to repeat the same conversations when the next tragedy strikes?
As a society, whenever a child is placed in danger, something within us is shaken to the core. We collectively grieve, we feel an unbearable sadness and we are left grappling with the unthinkable.
The recent tragedy surrounding the kidnapping and murder of 9-year-old Chantel Crump in Antigua has sent shockwaves through the island and reverberated across the region, igniting outrage, sorrow and disbelief.
Why don’t we make it a public display habit to applaud positive observations on the topic of crime and violence. Time and again, we have witnessed how sensationalized the topic becomes when crime is a concern. People from all walks of life chime in with concerns about social ills and safety, while political narratives often turn crime into a tool for partisan attacks. When crime surges, call-in radio programmes and social media platforms are flooded with outrage.
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.
