MR. HONORABLE PREMIER -- OUR TIME HAS COME
|
Many of us who welcomed our Premier to the U.S., Canada and Great Britain on his first official post-election trip abroad have given him high marks on the way in which he has acquitted himself. Shedding much of the campaign baggage and transitioning into the roles and responsibilities of governance and leadership of a great people, he has made us proud. As his former CSS Red House captain, I have come to expect nothing less.

Astonishingly, no one of those who is now shedding tears as we walk out the door has paused to look in the mirror and speak out against an unjust political system that robs Nevis of its share of the resources that pour into Basseterre each year for the development of both St.Kitts and Nevis. |

The time I spent in Primary School was a time in which I was constantly brainwashed with many Eurocentric fables, epic stories and nursery rhymes.

A Nevisian can best articulate the needs, wishes and desires of other Nevisians because that Nevisian knows the people, are of the people and are by the people. That Nevisian is more in tune with the requests of other Nevisians. |
