(BROOKLYN, New York): St.Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Dr. Timothy Harris used a recent forum at the Edgar T. Morris Primary School in Tabernacle to again express his gratitude to his Cabinet colleagues for their unwavering support and commitment to the people of this CARICOM nation.
Addressing hundreds of supporters and well-wishers Prime Minister Harris, who is also the chair of the federal Cabinet, stated that contrary to reports and claims purported by the opposition, his Team Unity Cabinet is well run and managed, where every member is free to express his or her views and those views are respected by all “because we are a team, and I, as chair of the Cabinet, have the job of deciphering where the Cabinet consensus is.”
The prime minister also rejected claims being made by Team Unity detractors that members within the Cabinet have called for his resignation. Harris stated emphatically that no member of the federal Cabinet has asked him to step down as prime minister. He further noted that he has been fortunate to have in the Cabinet Senior Minister the Vance Amory, whom he described as an excellent statesman who brings with him a wealth of experience and knowledge from which he draws inspiration.
“My confidence in him has never one day been found wanting,” Prime Minister Harris disclosed. “Vance is an honorable man; a leader on whom you can depend. He brings the wisdom and experience and the selflessness in giving advice. You don’t have to second guess his motives and that is why in Cabinet with difficult matters, they would tell you I make sure Vance gives a word.”
