Nevis Premier At Independence Parade – 2008
Charlestown, Nevis
September 23, 2008
Premier of Nevis, the Hon. Joseph Parry has urged his country’s young people to resist the desire to delve into bad behaviour, as it will undo the hardwork of the good contributions of those who preceded them.
“I ask that the young people get rid of the guns. Maybe we should ask Police to have an observed gun amnesty, because crime does not pay and Badness is outta style,” said Premier Parry.
Mr. Parry’s comments came during the Ceremonial Independence Day Parade at Grove Park on Friday morning, part of celebrations marking the 25th Anniversary of Independence of St.Kitts and Nevis.
Premier Parry also paid tribute to the first Nevis Island Administration (NIA) Cabinet, which comprised Dr. Simeon Daniel, Mr. Ivor Stevens, Mr. Uhral Swanston, Mr. Arthur Evelyn and Mr. Levi Morton who he said, “all worked very hard to make Nevis the proud Nation that it is today!”
