St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas said Wednesday that the twin”“island Federation must not allow local political differences to tarnish the name of the country and has urged non-governmental organisations to assist local media houses to establish and implement standards of journalism.

“In this competitive world, our people simply cannot afford to lose income and business opportunities as a result of careless and misleading publications,” Dr. Douglas, who is also Minister of Tourism said Wednesday afternoon at the ground breaking ceremony for the multi-million dollar Tom Fazio World Class Golf Course on the Southeast Peninsula.

He said in the current environment everything possible must be done to attract every additional dollar of investment, tourism receipts or export earnings.

“We cannot afford to run away potential investors by misleading and scary publications,” said Prime Minister Douglas, who disclosed that during a meeting on Tuesday night with Christophe Harbour Chief Executive Officer and award-winning South Carolina developer, Buddy Darby and his team, they expressed concern that certain comments in a local publication had been a source of worry to their investors.

St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas is praising incoming Labour Party candidate Glenn “Ghost” Phillip for answering the call to serve the residents and work with the young people of Constituency # 4 and the people of St. Kitts and Nevis.

“I spoke with him a few months ago. He is now demonstrating his readiness to serve by opening his own constituency office and joining with the sitting Parliamentary Representative, the Hon. Rupert Herbert, to serve the people of this constituency,” said Prime Minister Douglas, who spoke on Saturday at the official opening of the office on Main Street, Old Road.

Prime Minister Douglas described the incoming candidate as “a young man who is kind, fair, giving, respectable and wanted in Constituency #4.”

Prime Minister Douglas said recent surveys have indicated that a majority of the people in Constituency # 4 “favour Glenn “Ghost” Phillip as the next Parliamentary Representative.”
