Sandy Pointer tells PM Harris, “Sandy Pointers do not owe you;” questions silence of civil society
Sandy Pointers have been urged to stand up to St. Kitts and Nevis’ Prime Minister Dr. the Hon. Timothy Harris as they “do not owe him.”
That is the view expressed by Sandy Point-born Gretna Warner, in response to a recent statement by Dr. Harris at a Town Hall Meeting in Sandy Point.
Harris told Sandy Pointers: “When we look around and see all the persons from Sandy Point who have been elevated to big jobs, big positions, they are the ones who suppose to be on the campaign trail and writing two paragraphs of good writemanship about how well this government is doing.
We have done that for you. And some of you, all of a sudden, when Team Unity puts you in positions, you all ain’t in no politics. Is politics give you all those jobs. Is politics give you all the work,” said Harris in a deranged voice.
Prime Minister Harris also issued a threat to Sandy Pointers who fail to tow his Team Unity’s political line.
“Truth be told, and if suddenly you all not into politics, now you all get the big jobs, well the people of the country will make a determination about those things. Be careful there are some things we take for granted,” Harris warned.
“Does he have a pay-back-order against Sandy Pointers? What about the people from his constituency? Only Sandy Pointers can read and write? Why would a Prime Minister give directives to civil servants and those who work for the government to be openly political, because as he say, ‘A de government who give them their wuk’” said Warner on the skn@yahoogroups chat on Tuesday.
“Is he saying they did not deserve it? Is he saying that they are not qualified? Just imagine what our government has come to, when a political ruler can tell its employees to write paragraphs on social media in support of the government? Is this a democracy?” asked Warner, who further stated: “when he (Harris) got the position of Prime Minister, was he given a Promissory note from Sandy Pointers?”
“Is it that power has gone to his head? Is it that he’s desperate? Are Sandy Pointers supposed to take care of him and his government?” asked Warner, who questioned the silence of civil society, which was quite vocal during the tenure of the previous St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party (SKNLP) of former Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas.
“Where are the folks who once wrote on this List, who have blogs, who were saying that they were for ‘country above self’; that they were against ‘Government corruption’. They said that they wanted a ‘Democracy.’ Can they only espouse such patriotic rhetoric when it is convenient?” she asked.
“What kind of government they voted for in St. Kitts and Nevis? Well, well, Kittitians and Nevisians voted for a Trump like government,” said Warner, who added:
“Prime Minister Dr. Timothy Harris is totally out of control!!! But, why are so many silent? Is it that the most vocal lawyer, Wilkins like it so? Does the wonderful doctor Sahely like what he’s hearing and seeing under this government? Did those two and others buy blinders? Is it that they so hated the former Prime Minister that they no longer ‘care’ for the country? Something is wrong!!! Harris is out of control. Sandy Pointers stand your ground. How dare he?” Mrs. Warner concluded.
