NRP leader slams CCM government over Nevis power outages

CHARLESTOWN, NEVIS, JULY 23^rd 2017 – The escalating duration and frequency of power outages in Nevis has evolved from being in the nuisance category to one of full blown anger and disillusionment at a time when the economy is in decline and millions of dollars have been lost in productivity.

“Without warning, simple routine domestic activities like cooking, ironing and washing cannot be taken for granted anymore. In addition, there is now a greater probability of water not running than normal. This is particularly disheartening as we endure these hot summer months when the mercury is pushed well beyond the comfort level. Our family, friends and visitors have no fans and no air conditioners to ease the discomfort,” said Nevis’ Leader of the Opposition and former premier, Hon. Joseph Parry.
