BASSETERRE, St. Kitts (Wednesday 16th March 2022) — Newly elected Leader of the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party (SKNLP) Dr. Terrance Drew is of the view that the Team Unity government has failed. “They have failed the people significantly and so we are saying Labour offers the best option for our people,” he said, speaking on the ‘Issues’ programme on Freedom FM on Wednesday 16th March 2022, addressing controversial remarks made by PAM Deputy Prime Minister Shawn Richards and CCM Premier Mark Brantley about Team Unity Leader PM Harris at PAM’s convention on Sunday 13th March in Cayon.
“When Labour was talking about this, people thought it was just politics until what happened on Sunday. When we said there was no fair share in Unity, I think Sunday really brought those things to light. When we said there was rampant nepotism, imagine people in Unity speaking about nepotism. When we said there was corruption, imagine people in Unity speaking about corruption. So this concoction they have failed,” Dr. Drew said.
The SKNLP Leader recalled: “From its very inception the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party has been saying that the Team Unity construct was a marriage of convenience, three parties coming together to take down Labour. In 2015, the three fractions knew that they would never be able to win on their own. They lacked the competence and the plans to capture the imagination of the people of St. Kitts and Nevis.” He also made clear that as a matter of principle he does not believe Timothy Harris could return to the Labour Party: “I want to make that clear — I don’t want there to be any blurry line or any petty politicking around that.”
