Formal meetings of the Federal Cabinet were convened on Monday, August 12, Friday, August 16 and Monday, August 19, 2019, all of which were chaired by Prime Minister Dr. the Honourable Timothy Harris. Below is a summary of the salient matters that were addressed in those three meetings, as well the decisions taken on a number of socio-economic matters:
- The Cabinet received a detailed report from the High Command of the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force regarding the results of a number of crime fighting initiatives that are designed to maintain law and order in the Federation. Among the matters reported on by Acting Commissioner of Police, Mr. Hilroy Brandy, and Assistant Commissioner of Police, Mr McArthur Browne were the following: (a) the work of the volunteer Initial Engagement Committee on St. Kitts which had been meeting with gangs; (b) the establishment of a similar Committee on Nevis; (c) the results of a gun surrender programme to reduce the amounts of illegal firearms on the streets; (d) other initiatives being undertaken by the Police in an effort to maintain peace and stability in the Federation; and (e) comparative crime statistics for 2018 and 2019.
