NIA CHARLESTOWN NEVIS (July 06, 2023)- As the Nevis Island Administration (NIA) continues to pursue Nevis’ fair share of national resources, chiefly revenues from St. Kitts and Nevis Citizenship By Investment program, Premier Hon. Mark Brantley has expressed appreciation for the mature and open communications he maintains with Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Terrance Drew on the issue.
“I had discussed with the Prime Minister a six-person Committee. We have nominated our members to that committee to look at this whole issue of ‘fair share’, which was a big issue in the last election. I have been fairly consistent in following up with the Prime Minister and to his credit he has been fairly consistent in updating me. I know he was awaiting some data from some international organisations…I anticipate that I’ll be meeting with the Honourable Prime Minister shortly and this is one of the items on the agenda for us to make a determination as to where we are going,” the Premier updated the public on June 29 at his monthly press conference.
The Premier emphasized that Nevis is entitled to an equitable share of the CBI revenue, a stance he has not wavered on. He reminded that leaders of the Team Unity-led Administration had agreed the revenue would be fairly apportioned on a pro-rata basis, a viewpoint he still holds.
