BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, January 10, 2019 (Press Unit in the Office of the Prime Minister) – The case brought against the Leader of the Opposition, Dr. Denzil Douglas, continued in the High Court today (Thursday, January 10, 2019) with three expert witnesses on Dominican law making presentations before His Lordship Justice Trevor Ward QC to help him determine whether Dr. Douglas, through his use of a diplomatic passport issued by the Commonwealth of Dominica, is under allegiance to a foreign power.

My Fellow Citizens and Residents,

On this glorious Christmas morning, I am honoured to address you, the people of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis – a country that I am proud and blessed to lead and that we are all incredibly grateful to call our home.

I bring this Christmas Message of Charity and Compassion to the nation one month after celebrating 25 years as a Parliamentarian.

At times the sheer weight of the responsibility of leadership can seem overwhelming; however, the Bible reminds me that I can place my trust and confidence in God, who knows every need and who has all the power.

That’s why this and every other Christmas Day, we can recite with deep assurance the words of Isaiah 9:6 (New International Version):

For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called 
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Basseterre, St. Kitts, December 17, 2018 (SKNIS): With the first-time visit of the MS Norwegian Escape on December 17, 2018, a total of seven ships have now made inaugural calls to St. Kitts for the 2018/2019 cruise season.

According to tourism stakeholders, this is evident that cruise tourism is moving in the right direction. With the increase in the number of cruise ships visiting the island, it is essential that the island completes its second cruise pier, which is due to be finished in the latter part of 2019.

Basseterre, St. Kitts, December 14, 2018 (SKNIS): The tourism industry in St. Kitts and Nevis is moving with “leaps and bounds”, says Minister of Tourism, Honourable Lindsay Grant, during a sitting of Parliament on December 14.

During his address, Minister Grant said that 2018 has been a landmark year for the Federation, noting that the tourism industry has seen success after success since 2015.
