BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS, May 16th 2017 – Leader of the Opposition, the Right Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas, warned Tuesday any further negative on the country’s Citizenship by Investment Programme, will affect the nation’s economy, people, image and credibility.
China said St. Kitts and Nevis is becoming a haven for criminals and has accused the Team Unity Government of Prime Minister Harris of refusing to handover Ren Biao a Chinese for allegedly stealing US$100 million from a Chinese state company. Chinese diplomatic sources have also disclosed that in an intercepted communication on April 16, Ren called relatives in Beijing seeking an additional US$190,000 to pay for his protection by Kittitian authorities.
