Basseterre, St.Kitts (May 26th, 2018):-Opposition Leader Dr. DENZIL Douglas led approximately 80 supporters in a procession through the streets of Basseterre on Fridayafternoon. Opposition Leader Douglas told the media that his intension in leading the march was to bring pressure on Prime Minister Dr. Timothy Harris to resign over recent allegations and opposition charges of corruption. The march certainly did not live up to the expectation of the Opposition as the small turnout was further compounded by angry drivers who felt the march was nothing more than a nuisance on a busy Friday afternoon. The Opposition SKN Labour Party supporters who participated in the March widely expressed their optimism about their chances at the next elections despite a small and dissapointing turnout of less than 100 after weeks of promising thousands of marchers. It was unclear whether anymore protest marches were planned and if the opposition were contemplating a different strategy to bring requisite pressure on PM Harris, as the Friday afternoon protest certainly did nothing to move the dial upward and forward for the Douglas led labour party and their hopes of returning to office anytime soon.
The March culminated on the Bay Rd. at the Ferry Terminal .

Demonstrators demand: “PM Timothy Harris must Go!”

Basseterre, St. Kitts, May 26, 2018 – Citizens of St. Kitts and Nevis took to the streets of Basseterre Friday afternoon demanding the resignation of the Prime Minister Dr. the Hon. Timothy Harris allegedly embroiled in another international scandal.

Chairman of the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party said the called for the people of St. Kitts and Nevis who believe that their elected representatives and minsters of government whether here in St. Kitts and Nevis or on duty overseas should act with the highest of integrity and to show full accountability at all times to the people of St. Kitts and Nevis.

Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis has become embroiled in an alleged bribery scandal in the United Kingdom.

The scandal has already claimed one casualty, Antigua and Barbuda’s Minister of Investment and Trade, Hon. Michael Asot, who like St. Kitts and Nevis prime minister , is named in a judgement in the British High Court, in which British property tycoon Peter Virdee is accused of bribing St. Kitts and Nevis prime minister and Michael and other Caribbean politicians. Michael tendered his resignation from the Cabinet of Prime Minister Hon. Gaston Browne, but St. Kitts and Nevis prime minister has said he will not quit.

Hundreds of persons in the march and on the sidelines carried placards some of which read: “Harris is tainting the CBI”;

“Timothy we have enough of you. Have to Go”; “Shoes and watch..what else Dr. Harris”; “Tim please go. Bucky say so”; “Harris is corrupt and greedy”;

Last week, placard bearing demonstrators called for Harris to resign stood outside Harris’ Church Street office forcing him to stay away for several hours.

During this week, graffiti aimed at adding pressure on Harris to quit has appeared in several locations in Basseterre and its environs.

“Tim must go,” “Harris must resign now,” “Tim resign now,” are the messages scrawled in orange – the colour of Dr. Harris’ Peoples Labour Party (PLP).
