Scores of Kittitians and Nevisians living in St. Maarten were told last Friday night by the Federation’s Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas that the country was changing dramatically for the better through its major emphasis on Hospitality and Tourism development, implemented by his governing St. Kitts – Nevis Labour Party.

Dr. Douglas pointed to the meeting, organised by St. Kitts and Nevis Association of St. Maarten that in the continuous efforts to transform the national economy emphasis was also being placed on social development, information technology, electoral reform, political changes and developing sports tourism.

Following is the report carried in the St. Maarten Herald of last Saturday.

Dr. Douglas said much emphasis was also being placed on helping the former employees of the sugar industry, which was closed down in 2005, to become qualified for other means of employment and helping them to improve their living arrangements.

Dr. Douglas noted that although his government was being accused by the opposition of ill-treating the former sugar industry workers, by his observation St. Kitts and Nevis was doing a better job than many of the other countries in the region that had to close down their sugar industries.

NEVLEC Will Remain Sole Vendor Of Electricity On Nevis

Nevis Minister - Carlisle Powell

Nevis Utility Minister – Hon. Carlisle Powell

Charlestown, Nevis
May 09, 2008

Junior Minister with responsibility for Utilities in the Nevis Island Administration (NIA) Hon. Carlisle Powell, disclosed on Wednesday May 07, 2008, that the Nevis Electricity Company Ltd.(NEVLEC) the island’s only electricity supplier, would be the sole vendor within Nevis for any from of energy harnessed on the island. He said that the move would enrich the Company and safeguard its employees.
 
The Minister made the remark at an Achievement Award Ceremony for staff members who were trained in First Aid and a basic Computer course, hosted by NEVLEC’s Human Resource Department. The ceremony was held at the Red Cross Building in Charlestown.
 
“All of the discussions that we [NIA] have held with the wind power company and with the geothermal company, we have said to them that they will have to sell the power in Nevis to NEVLEC. We are not ever going to give them the right to sell power to individual consumers on Nevis. We want them first of all to enter into an agreement with NEVLEC in terms of the power purchase agreement, to sell the power to NEVLEC and then NEVLEC will unsell the power to the consumers on Nevis.
 
“We do that because the people who are employed at NEVLEC should not be out of a job. We do that because we feel that when we negotiate a price which will be a fair price to the developer which would allow them to make some profits and which will allow them to see returns on their investment, we must negotiate a price that NEVLEC would be comfortable with “¦and Mr. Farrell [General Manager of NEVLEC] wants to make sure that whatever price we negotiate when we have a price which we unsell to the consumers too that the consumers are saving money and that NEVLEC is also turning a profit,” he said.
