Legislation to sell off SCASPA pulled from recent National Assembly sitting, says SKNLP deputy political leader

Basseterre, St. Kitts, January 31, 2018 – Legislation to sell off the assets of the St. Christopher Air and Sea Ports Authority (SCAPA) was pulled from the Order Paper during last week’s sitting of the St. Kitts and Nevis National Assembly, Deputy Political Leader of the opposition St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party (SKNLP), Dr. Earl Asim Martin disclosed Wednesday.

 “A Bill to privatise SCASPA and sell off its assets was scurried off the Order Paper. The over-priced Second Pier project has put us in a pickle and we will all pay for this act of corruption,” said Dr. Martin during the SKNLP monthly Press Conference.

Dr. Martin said the construction of the second pier at Port Zante is yet another example of the Team Unity Government’s incompetence and failure to make sound fiscal decisions to the country’s benefit.

Douglas: Gross nepotism, graft, and corruption are  hallmarks of PM Harris’ Team Unity Government

Basseterre, St. Kitts, January 31, 2018 – Gross nepotism, graft, and corruption in government, the likes of which St. Kitts and Nevis has never experienced or imagined have been the hallmarks of the three-year-old Team Unity Government of  Prime Minister Dr. the Hon. Timothy Harris.

“We have observed and endured the gruesome effects of the Harris-led regime on our nation, its treasury and our people. We have endured every local, regional and international embarrassment that Dr. Harris and his ministers have subjected us to as well as the injustices and human rights violations committed against our people in the civil service including our nurses, policemen and -women, teachers and others. We have been assaulted through the invasion of our privacy, and the silencing of the voices asking questions or speaking objectively about government corruption, incompetence or its cold indifference,” said Leader of the Opposition and National Political Leader of the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party (SKNLP), the Right Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas on Wednesday.
