BASSETERRE, St.Kitts (Friday 22nd May 2020) — Criticism about representation in Constituency Six by newcomer candidate Kevin ‘Ninky’ Williams of the People’s Labour Party (PLP) has been responded to by his running mate, Leader of the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party and former Prime Minister Dr. Denzil Douglas, at an SKNLP press conference held on Tuesday 19th May 2020.
Williams, launched as PLP candidate for Constituency Six, had expressed that the people “have been suffering all the time as a result of poor representation” and “always been taken for granted by the leadership.”
Dr. Douglas responded: “The matter of neglect of Constituency Number Six by the Labour Administration or by the MP elected there for several years coming from ‘Ninky’ is really a big joke because Ninky himself has been a very prominent product of the progressive policies of the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party administration and the personal services of the elected representative there.”
“When I took that constituency for representation in the parliament, I don’t even think you had more than 10-15 university graduates in the whole constituency. Look at it today; they are in every sphere of service in the public and private sector. Many of the people from that constituency today are in our hospitals as doctors, as nurses. So I think ‘Ninky’ is apparently seeking ‘noticement’ and attention in making ridiculous statements like those,” he added.
