Basseterre, St. Kitts, June 16, 2017 (SKNIS): Prime Minister and Minister of National Security, Dr. the Honourable Timothy Harris, while wrapping up the debate on the Firearms Amendment Bill, 2017, said that it is clear indication that government will not condone any acts of violence, and that it will not tolerate the hiding of any criminal.
“The Bill by increasing the penalty by 50 percent from 10 to 15 years is an indication to all who would hear and listen that they must find no hiding place. No hiding place in the homes of a parent or family member. No hiding place in our schools nor in our churches. No hiding place in our political parties. No hiding place anywhere. Law and order must again be the mantra,” said Prime Minister Harris, while ensuring citizens and residents that the government will do all in its power in the pursuit of justice. “Yes, I accept that there is a clarion call by all law abiding citizens for stiffer penalties to be exacted on the culprits and we are doing so today and we will do more. This Bill then is about the future. It will not bring back the loved ones lost, but it will certainly discourage others who know that the consequences, when caught, will be severely harsh.”
