The registration process for the Household Support Programme represents the delivery on yet another major commitment made by Team Unity in its inaugural Manifesto of 2015.

ADDRESS BY PRIME MINISTER

DR. THE HONOURABLE TIMOTHY HARRIS

On the Occasion of the Launch of the Data Gathering Exercise to Determine Eligibility for Government’s Promised Household Support

Re: Poverty Alleviation

Thursday, August 2^nd, 2018

My Fellow Citizens and Residents of St. Kitts and Nevis,

In February 2015, your Team Unity Administration made a solemn commitment to the people of St. Kitts and Nevis that we would leave no one behind as we progressed towards the sustainable development of our Nation. We gave a pledge to provide financial support in the amount of EC$500 per month to those households whose total gross monthly income falls below EC$3,000. Some dismissed our pledge as mere gimmickry. Some said it could never be done.

My Team Unity Administration is however grateful to you the majority of the citizenry who recognized and believed in our ability to deliver on our commitments to you.

Today, therefore, as your Prime Minister, I am pleased to announce the start of the data gathering exercise to deliver on my Government’s commitment to you to provide this crucial financial support. It is necessary for your Team Unity Administration to continue on the journey of delivering to our people continuous improvement in their overall standard of living and quality of life. For this blessing, I say to God be the Glory.
