Did PM Harris stay away from IMF/World Bank meetings to avoid other Caribbean and international leaders?
Basseterre, St. Kitts, October 18th 2017 – Speculation that the Federation’s Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Dr. the Hon. Timothy Harris, stayed away from the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank in Washington, D.C., to avoid facing fellow Caribbean prime ministers and world leaders over the hastily conceived Hurricane Relief Fund and other related issues.
“Several important meetings have been missed by the prime minister and minister of finance. The questions that loom large in our minds and the minds of the people of St. Kitts and Nevis are what is Dr. Harris hiding from the international community? Why? Is it after severe criticism for slashing by 50 percent the so-called platinum Citizenship by Investment Programme of St. Kitts and Nevis? Why has Dr. Timothy Harris started a race to the bottom of the industry with regard to the St. Kitts and Nevis Citizenship by Investment Programme? With concern why is Dr. Harris, who loves to travel, hiding from his colleagues not only from the Caribbean but also from the international community as well?” asked the Right Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas, the former prime minister and minister of finance.
