BASSETERRE, St.Kitts (Friday 29th May 2020) — “You can’t have people questioning your integrity after five years and think that’s ok. That’s not ok and my father will not be a part of that. My father will not die a hypocrite.”
So said 33-year-old Terrence Zikomo ‘Ziko’ Condor, son of well-known public figure Sam Condor, during a live appearance on Freedom FM’s ‘Issues’ programme on Tuesday 26th May 2020, in which he publicly supported his father’s decision to leave the Team Unity administration and return his support to the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party.
Condor shared details of a near six-hour meeting between his father and SKNLP leader Dr. Denzil Douglas, held two years after Team Unity took office, which he also attended: “They started this thing together. A six-hour conversation between two real comrades, friends. Dr. Douglas said: ‘I went through every possible emotion after the last election. I was hurt, I was depressed, I was angry at you and your family. But I found acceptance — that this did actually happen to me, and I had a part to play in it. I am a man too and I have to take responsibility.’ There is honour in that.”
Grading Team Unity’s performance, Condor said: “You can’t let my father’s sacrifice be attached to a con. The only thing that would suffice for me is if they had come in here, put their heads down and done the work. At the end of the five years we must look back and say ‘boy they didn’t accomplish everything but I see the direction they were going.’ That first term should have reminded me of Labour’s first term in 1995-2000.”
