PM Harris rushes to appoint Public Accounts Committee ahead of CPA Conference in St. Kitts and Nevis next month
BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS, May 21st 2017 – After nearly two and a half years of trampling on the St. Kitts and Nevis Constitution by refusing to appoint a Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in the National Assembly, Prime Minister Dr. the Hon. Timothy Harris is rushing to have one in place ahead of a Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) Conference to be held in St. Kitts next month.
Opposition Parliamentarians, both at the Federal level in Basseterre and the Nevis Island Administration level in Charlestown, have been urging their respective Prime Minister Harris and Premier Hon. Vance Amory, to appoint the PAC in compliance with the Constitution. The Nevis Island Assembly is soon to end its five year term without a PAC ever in place.
