BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – AFTER being accused of plagiarizing an idea from his political opponents, Team Unity, Prime Minister the Rt. Hon. Dr. Denzil has turned the tables and is indicating that the idea of forgiving certain electricity debt originated in his Cabinet and was stolen by Team Unity members.
In a media release issued by Team Unity, that movement’s Constituency Number One candidate, Ian ‘Patches’ Liburd, alleged that the Prime Minister was guilty of plagiarism.
“Denzil Douglas is behind in the race and desperately trying to keep his beleaguered government in office. So desperate is Denzil Douglas that he is promising all sorts of things and dishing out all sorts of goodies and now he has been caught red handed once again stealing the blue print of Team Unity’s Prosperity Agenda,” the release stated.
Speaking on his radio programme ‘Ask the Prime Minister’, Dr. Douglas refuted those claims and expressed that his opponents are short of ideas.
“My political rivals have no new ideas and that is why it is so sad; because those who sat within my Cabinet and knew all along that the government would have taken appropriate action at the appropriate time on the electricity matter, now are trumping that we borrowed their idea.
“Harris and Condor have no ideas of their own. None whatsoever because for 18 months I have been waiting and listening to what their idea is in terms of running a country, in terms of turning around the national economy from where it is, and I am hearing nothing, except somebody borrowed somebody’s idea.”
Dr. Douglas was adamant that the idea originated from his Cabinet a few years ago.
