Harris, Richards continue deceiving the people on new BHS
Basseterre, St. Kitts, May 3, 2018 – Three years after taking office, the Team Unity Government continues to deceive the people of St. Kitts and Nevis over the Basseterre High School (BHS) scandal.
“(Prime Minister) Dr. Timothy Harris and (Minister of Education) Shawn Richards promised to build a new high school immediately upon taking government. The students and teachers of the BHS have been languishing for over 3 years in an overcrowded wooden building without labs and other necessary facilities,” said Deputy Political Leader of the opposition St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party (SKNLP).
He told a press conference Wednesday that the academic performance of the educational institution has plummeted “and today the school is in complete chaos run by an incompetent Principal and Minister of Education.”
“No new school will be available for the students of the BHS, yet another election is upon us. Sure enough, they will have a big ceremony and break ground for construction of the school on the water table at Ponds Estate,” said Dr. Martin.
“The students, their teachers and their parents have been cheated, misused and abused. Those who sought to undermine the BHS and deceive the public for political mileage have a lot to repent for,” he said.
