Prime Minister Dr. Timothy Harris

    BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – THE Federation’s Prime Minister, Dr. the Hon. Timothy Harris, today (Sept. 11) commended a number of citizens and residents, including ministers of the Labour Party Administration, for offering their service following the passage and impact of Hurricane Irma.

     

    Dr. Harris was at the time a guest on Sugar City 90.3 FM’s programme ‘The People’s Voice’ , where he held discussions with host Ambassador Michael Powell on post hurricane recovery efforts and the 34th Independence Calendar.

    Speaking to the recent challenges created by Hurricane Irma which he noted “detained us for a while”, PM Harris stressed that the country now needs to move forward while making an impassioned appeal to the nation to join in this effort.

    “We want to move forward in love, we want to move forward as a united nation, we want to go forward joined at the talents and the abilities of all of our people. And so my invitation is for us to work together as one - to put aside the party politics in the interest of nation building.”

    Without divulging names, Dr. Harris thanked a number of citizens whom he claimed had reached out to him.

    “And I want to thank many of our citizens, some whom will remain nameless for a while, but who reached out to me, notwithstanding the membership and affiliation with parties in opposition to the Government. They say, ‘Listen, this is a moment for national engagement and I want to be part of it, how can I help?” And we had discussions about that.

    “Some of them had been former ministers in the last administration and I want to say thank you to them for reaching out and for making their service available.”

    The Prime Minister intimated that his Team Unity Government is all-inclusive.

    “That is one of the distinguishing feature of Team Unity that we are all-inclusive and we want all of our people to make their contribution irrespective of party affiliation. That will have its own time. 

    “What we want in the country is a robust contest of ideas for the advancement of the country and we will content on those ideas which we believe are in the best interest of the country.”
