St Kitts & Nevis: Prime Minister Douglas under pressure to debate no confidence motion in his administration
Harris and another senior government legislator Sam Condor have openly disagreed with a number of government measures including the national budget and the decision to increase the number of senators in the legislative chamber.
Last Thursday, Condor, the deputy prime minister, resigned from the Cabinet.
Prime Minister Douglas told parliament that Harris had asked him to resign as head of the government last December and accused the former minister of being part of a “conspiracy to bring the government to an end” and establish a unity government in St. Kitts & Nevis.
In their statement, the religious groups said they had met with the Prime Minister as well as Harris and Condor in separate meetings, adding that the dismissal and resignation of the two senior ministers “has further heightened this political tension in our nation, (and) we are of the firm view that we are facing a serious political crisis.” – (CMC)
