Basseterre, St. Kitts, May 26, 2018 – Citizens of St. Kitts and Nevis took to the streets of Basseterre Friday afternoon demanding the resignation of the Prime Minister Dr. the Hon. Timothy Harris allegedly embroiled in another international scandal.
Chairman of the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party said the called for the people of St. Kitts and Nevis who believe that their elected representatives and minsters of government whether here in St. Kitts and Nevis or on duty overseas should act with the highest of integrity and to show full accountability at all times to the people of St. Kitts and Nevis.
Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis has become embroiled in an alleged bribery scandal in the United Kingdom.
The scandal has already claimed one casualty, Antigua and Barbuda’s Minister of Investment and Trade, Hon. Michael Asot, who like St. Kitts and Nevis prime minister , is named in a judgement in the British High Court, in which British property tycoon Peter Virdee is accused of bribing St. Kitts and Nevis prime minister and Michael and other Caribbean politicians. Michael tendered his resignation from the Cabinet of Prime Minister Hon. Gaston Browne, but St. Kitts and Nevis prime minister has said he will not quit.
Hundreds of persons in the march and on the sidelines carried placards some of which read: “Harris is tainting the CBI”;
“Timothy we have enough of you. Have to Go”; “Shoes and watch..what else Dr. Harris”; “Tim please go. Bucky say so”; “Harris is corrupt and greedy”;
Last week, placard bearing demonstrators called for Harris to resign stood outside Harris’ Church Street office forcing him to stay away for several hours.
During this week, graffiti aimed at adding pressure on Harris to quit has appeared in several locations in Basseterre and its environs.
“Tim must go,” “Harris must resign now,” “Tim resign now,” are the messages scrawled in orange – the colour of Dr. Harris’ Peoples Labour Party (PLP).
