BASSETERRE, St. Kitts (Thursday 15th June 2022) — “I will keep speaking about it because it is dangerous — dangerous to St. Kitts and Nevis, dangerous to our democracy. Everybody has seen what Timothy Harris is about when it comes to the issue of governance.” So said SKNLP Leader Dr. Terrance Drew, speaking about PM Harris’s governance style during an appearance on the new SKNLP-sponsored weekly radio programme ‘We Talk’ aired on FreedomFM on Wednesday 15th June 2022. Dr. Drew stated that Dr. Harris “does not care about anything when it comes to good governance, nothing to do with integrity in public life or transparency. He cares about installing a dictatorship and we see all the signs with it.”
Dr. Drew explained the constitutional problem: “Here we see that a government, a cabinet with a majority of members saying they don’t have any confidence in the leader of that Cabinet. They have done so by doing a motion of no confidence submitted to the Speaker of the House. It was not tabled, and the Prime Minister instructed the Governor General to bring Parliament to an end. During that time, the Prime Minister has done some things that are very questionable. He is signing very large contracts which means he is trying to compromise the next government and therefore we have to do the necessary constitutional adjustment to make sure that that does not happen.”
“I think it is necessary that the people of St. Kitts and Nevis really call out Timothy Harris for who he is and what he is doing presently. Timothy Harris does not tolerate anybody who speaks truth to power. If you cross him he will get rid of you. I want to remind our people clearly that all those who are candidates with him are just pawns in Timothy’s grand political game. The ultimate objective really is to install a family dictatorship, and I am asking the people of St. Kitts and Nevis to stand up and recognize it for what it is,” Dr. Drew stated.
