Success of St Kitts and Nevis represents a litmus test for PM Timothy Harris' leadership

Prime Minister of St Kitts and Nevis, Dr Timothy Harris has become an example of exceptional leadership, which has led to the formation of Timothy Harris' Government for a second consecutive term in the federation of St Kitts and Nevis.

However, great leadership can only be tested by a litmus test, which is the result of the policies of the said leadership and Dr Harris' leadership has not failed to deliver results with its policies.

Some of the remarkable achievements of the PM Harris led Government can be seen prima facie. Such as-

The number of contributors to social security rose by 3,038 from 26,958 in 2015 to 29,986 in 2019.

Before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, St Kits and Nevis had the best fiscal position in the Caribbean region, with a fiscal balance of 9% of the GDP of the nation.

Even in the event of the pandemic, the Government did not leave the side of the people of St Kitts and Nevis and under the stimulus package, the qualifying residents who lost their jobs or have reduced working hours owing to the pandemic, get up to $1000.
