BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, October 17, 2022 (SKNIS) – Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis, the Honourable Dr. Terrance Drew hosted his first press conference earlier today, Monday, October 17, 2022, where he updated citizens and residents on the tremendous strides made by his St. Kitts and Nevis Labour Party-led administration to deliver a new day and a better way for the people.
The honourable Prime Minister was supported at the press conference by the full slate of Cabinet Ministers including Deputy Prime Minister Honourable Dr. Geoffrey Hanley; the Right Honourable Dr. Denzil Douglas; Honourable Konris Maynard; Attorney General Honourable Garth Wilkin; the Honourable Marsha Henderson; the Honourable Samal Duggins; Senator the Honourable Dr. Joyelle Clarke and Senator the Honourable Isalean Phillip, all of whom gave updates on the undertakings within their respective ministries.
In his opening statement, the Prime Minister commented on a number of positive developments in areas such as healthcare delivery, education, social services and international relations since his Cabinet was sworn in just over two months ago.
On the issue of healthcare, Prime Minister Dr. Drew, who also serves as Minister responsible for Health, indicated that the government has begun to make significant moves to overhaul the health sector in the Federation.
He said, “We promised an efficient system, a system that effectively attends to the needs and growing demands of our people; a system that is rewarding for all stakeholders – firstly the patients, who are you the people, the nurses, doctors, auxiliary staff including the cleaners…and all those who work on behalf of our healthcare system to deliver to you the people of St. Kitts and Nevis. As such, your government has approved financial assistance for children in need of medical assistance overseas. We had the first child benefiting from this initiative on Saturday, October 15, 2022, to travel to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Barbados to undergo 10 months of chemotherapy and additional medical treatment.”
Shortly after assuming office, the Government purchased a new MRI machine for the JNF General Hospital, making the service affordable and more accessible to the people of St. Kitts and Nevis.
Prime Minister Dr. Drew also noted that the Government has also commenced work aimed at strengthening and improving the Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programme.
“We have begun consultations with various stakeholders and the legislation provides for certain committees to be set up to supervise the process. Your government will implement strengthened legislative and administrative structures to prevent the downgrading of our system and to make sure that it remains strong, viable, open and transparent. This industry is critical to the development of St. Kitts and Nevis but we must make sure that we continue to strengthen it and that we get it right,” Dr. Drew said.
Prime Minister Dr. Drew assured the people of St. Kitts and Nevis that his Government will continue to function on the principles of transparency, integrity, openness and accountability.

BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, October 18, 2022 (SKNIS) – After just two months in office, Prime Minister the Honourable Dr. Terrance Drew has said that investor confidence is once again returning to St. Kitts and Nevis with legitimate investors already lining up to do business once again with the Federation.
Speaking at his first press conference on Monday, October 17, Prime Minister Dr. Drew said this is in stark contrast to what happened over the past seven years.
“After the Government changed, a lot of these investors returned to the table, because remember, during the last seven years [under the Team Unity administration] there was no major investment that was done in St. Kitts and Nevis, and what would have been said to me is very disturbing—that their interaction with the last administration was very toxic for many of them…and so I am being bombarded every day by legitimate investment opportunities,” the Prime Minister said.
Prime Minister Dr. Drew reflected on his participation in the AfriCaribbean Trade and Investment Forum 2022 in early September where partnership agreements were signed between the Africa Export-Import Bank and a number of Caribbean countries, including St. Kitts and Nevis.
“That is a significant bank from out of Africa and they are seeking to establish relations here in the Caribbean. Part of the thrust or philosophy behind it is that there should be more south-south cooperation, but apart from that, we are actually seen as part of the African Union. I don’t know if we understand that, that they consider the diaspora here in the Caribbean to be a part of the African Union and therefore with these types of initiatives the Caribbean of course is viewed as a partner or potential partner to participate,” Dr. Drew said.
He added, “Through that initiative, a number of Caribbean countries are actually seeing the benefits, and we are actually exploring a possible investment that would take place here in St. Kitts and Nevis and that is to do with a fish processing facility. I know a representative from the bank and the investor will be here in short order to discuss that. We have also engaged about two investment firms that are interested in doing two major hotels at the Southeast Peninsula. Both of them are very viable and so critical decisions will be made in short order to see the fruition of these developments or at least one of them.”
The Prime Minister reiterated that the decision to remove all COVID-19 travel restrictions, based on the scientific evidence, was the Government’s way of signalling to the world that St. Kitts and Nevis is open for business.
“When I went to the UN (United Nations), I also said that the country is open to business and interestingly enough people have heard those words and they are approaching in significant numbers and the prospect for investments looks really good,” said Prime Minister Drew.
Apart from his own engagements, Prime Minister Drew said his Cabinet colleagues have used their recent participation in a number of international events including the United Nations General Assembly, the Joint CARIFORUM – EU Ministerial Meeting and the OAS General Assembly to meet with international partners and potential investors to gauge their interest in investing in St. Kitts and Nevis in areas such as healthcare, education and housing.

Individuals under the age of 25 who already possess a heavy-duty license will not be affected by the changes to the Road Traffic Amendment.
The Barbados Licensing Authority (BLA) has suspended the issuance of heavy-duty, public service vehicle and motor tractor permits and driver licenses to persons under age of 25, to allow for legislative changes to be drafted to Section 69 (1) of the Road Traffic Amendments.
“It was recently drawn to the attention of the Ministry of Transport, Works and Water Resources (MTWW), that an amendment made to Section 69 (1) in 2017 was never enforced by the BLA. This amendment prohibits issuing and endorsing as valid these categories of licenses to individuals under the age of 25,” said the BLA in a statement on Wednesday.
With the legislative change, persons under the age limit have been deferred from sitting the test for permit holders, and the issuing of permits has been suspended as well to those under 25.
The MTWW did not disclose how many persons are in the process of acquiring a heavy-duty license and are impacted by this change.
However, the release did say that the Ministry is mindful of the impact which the suspension is having on affected persons, and is seeking to urgently resolve the matter. MTWW and BLA officials have been meeting with stakeholders from the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Community Empowerment, Barbados Vocational Training Board, the Barbados Driving School Association, and the Barbados Police Service. The Barbados Revenue Authority has also been informed of the matter via official correspondence.

The Constitutional Reform Commission has given the assurance that all of its processes will be transparent.
This confirmation came from Senator Gregory Nicholls on Sunday, October 16 while speaking at the first Constitutional Reform Commission Public Meeting at the St Michael School.
While flanked by Commission chair Justice Christopher Blackman, former attorney general Adriel Braithwaite, Reverend John Rogers and Suleiman Bulbuia, Senator Nicholls was responding to comments made by political scientist Devraon Bruce about the transparency of the consultation process.
“We’re living in a period where transparency is almost of utmost importance. If, for instance, I presented a paper to the Commission, I have no idea what the process of review is like. Do you have select areas of interest that are more likely to be submitted in the final report than not? Is there going to be a majority vote on my submission? I think those are considerations you’re going to have to think about so the public knows what is happening,” Bruce remarked on Sunday.
The political scientist asserted that with the public playing a critical role in the constitutional reform process, they should be updated on every aspect as well.
“It can’t be a situation where you come and say the committee has recommended or the committee has decided upon but we don’t know how and we don’t know who voted on what, who supported what.
“If it was a Parliament I would know who supported something as opposed to it being behind closed doors.
“So transparency, I think is extremely important to the process and I think you have to in essence, allow the public to know what you are doing in order to really instill confidence that this is an organic and real activity,” Bruce maintained.
In response, Senator Nicholls revealed that the Commission will be hiring research assistants to carefully track submissions made by citizens during the consultation process. Interviews are scheduled to commence from this week.
“One of the things we have decided is to ask research assistants to help us track the different submissions and put them into various categories in terms of what parts of the Constitution Barbadians are saying they want addressed in the reform of the Constitution.
“We will carefully consider all of the submissions. We have decided amongst ourselves that business will go forward on a majority. Hopefully we can build consensus but where we can’t there will be an opportunity for persons who are the minority.
“It is not a situation where our deliberations will be in secret. The report will be written in a way that the public can understand this is the bulk of submissions, this is what we consider worthwhile and this is what we did not consider should be addressed,” Senator Nicholls explained.
