Brantley stated that as the leader of CCM, he welcomes debates and does not shy away from them. He said people who choose the path of public service should be willing and welcome public scrutiny, public criticism, and discussions. He said people are questioning his intentions, but he is just fulfilling his duties towards Nevis. “They are saying Nevis got $400 million, but one question is missing from the discussion, how much did St Kitts get only so then we will be able to decide whether or not this is a fair share?,” questioned Mark Brantley. Brantley stated during the COVID-19 pandemic, the unfairness and inequality increased when the revenue to Nevis was reduced. He said while Nevis was trying to make ends meet during the pandemic, St Kitts was enjoying a surplus. “We still had to keep our people employed; we still had to keep our hospitals open; we still had to keep our lights on, our roads open, our garbage collected. We borrowed money to make everything happen,” said Brantley. Furthermore, he stated that he would continue to fight for the people of Nevis, and the island must be given its fair share of citizenship by an investment programme. “The island of Nevis is my life, there are many places in the world that I could have been, but I have chosen to be here among the people of Nevis; if the good comes, we enjoy it, and if bad comes, we must suffer together,” said Brantley.Latest
