Justice for Mark Twain
Who would have thought that the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis would be at this juncture yet again? Recently, a letter was sent from the Nevis Air and Seaport Authority (the “Port Authority”) to the operators of Mark Twain informing them that Mark Twain has to rotate its schedule with immediate effect (with a new ferry operator by the name of MV Patience). While I have no objections to a rotating schedule, I found the decision to be unjust, vindictive and discriminatory.
