Basseterre, May 04, 2016:- Sylvene Henry, political activist and supporter of the ruling Team Unity Government (TUG) has called on former the Prime Minister to rescue the government. During her call to the popular Freedom FM talk show, “Issues,” Mrs. Henry essentially advised Dr. Douglas that the current PM, Dr. Timothy Harris, is incapable of reaching the foreign investors and it is, therefore, the responsibility of Dr. Douglas to solicit and procure such investment.
Mrs. Henry suggested that, if Dr. Douglas does not comply, then the decline in foreign direct investment (FDI) might be construed as being a result of sabotage. This conclusion comes as a result of the fact that, under Dr. Douglas’ administration, St. Kitts & Nevis led the entire region in this crucial area of economic performance, but has since fallen considerably behind.
Dr. Douglas, however, advised that, should the government be interested in taking advantage of his expertise, he would be willing to negotiate his fees.
