Charlestown, Nevis

The Nevis Island Administration (NIA) through the Ministry of Social Development, launched the Community Cohesion Initiative on September 24 at the Ministry of Trade’s conference room. The programme was designed to reduce the level of anti social behaviour among youths in the community and to coordinate the development of meaningful dialogue between various communities, groups and the government.

Minister with responsibility for Social Transformation on Nevis Hon. Hensley Daniel, looked at the evidence to support the development of the programme. He stated that the Counseling Unit of the Department of Social Services had indicated that many persons who were involved with the law or conflict, their difficulties had flowed from family issues, so that type of intervention was an important step to address the situation.

Director of the programme is Mr. Abdu Kareem Ahmed who gave some insight into its establishment.

Residents qualified to vote were making sure Monday that they meet Tuesday’s deadline to confirm their names on current Voters List.

Last Thursday, Friday and Saturday long lines of persons confirming that their names are on the current list, registering for the first time having attained 18 years of age and meeting the necessary qualification or picking up their National Identification Cards were maintained throughout the day outside the Electoral Office on Central Street in Basseterre.

The deadline for the Voter Confirmation Exercise which began on December 27th 2007 is September 30th 2008.

The electoral reform process, which began two years ago, is expected to result in a new Voters List, a national identification card and the introduction of a photo id when registering for the first time.

In August 2006, the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis presented a White Paper in the lawmaking body outlining the process for electoral reform and the preferred steps through which consultation with stakeholders and implementation of electoral reform will result in a legally reformed electoral system.
