daley-1Fifteen months after taking office, the Team Unity Government continues its political victimisation and denying scores of persons the right to work in the country of their birth.But for the President of the Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College (CFBC) Dr. Kelvin Daley it must be a traumatic experience, having been sacked by the Concerned Citizens Movement (CCM) of Premier Vance Amory when it took office three years ago in Nevis. Daley was hired by the Federal Government of then Prime Minister the Right Hon. Dr Denzil L Douglas as President of the CFBC and was this week sacked by the Team Unity Government of Prime Minister Dr the Hon. Timothy Harris.

Opposition Sen. Hon Nigel Carty on Wednesday condemned the latest human rights abuses by the Timothy Harris government pointing out that that there was no evaluation of Daley’s work and no conversation between him and the Chairman of the Board.He was critical of the statement by Minister of Education, Hon Shawn Richards that the CFBC President has not been fired. Speaking to the THG network on Wednesday, the CFBC President recalled what transpired leading up to him being asked to go on vacation leave.

Daley said he went to work on Monday as usual and received a letter after lunch from the board asking him to go on leave until mid July, at which point a determination will be made about his tenure at CFBC.Daley said he received no prior warning even after a board meeting on Friday. He said it was disingenuous for a board member to tell him that he was sent on leave “due to financial constraints”.
