Sun St. Kitts and Nevis and its sister paper the Antigua Sun are praising St. Kitts and Nevis’ Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas for assuming the post of Minister of National Security.

In their editorial for today (Wednesday) entitled “Who should lead the fight,” Sun St. Kitts/Nevis and the Antigua Sun said other Caribbean leaders need to jump into the trenches and lead from the front like Prime Minister Douglas.

Both papers noted that in several Caribbean jurisdictions, the responsibility of keeping the criminals at bay has been placed in the trust of several people and this appears to be adequate once crime is being kept under control.

“But when criminal activity becomes the order of the day, no other public servant will be expected to hold the reins of responsibility but the chief servant ““ in our jurisdiction the prime minister,” said Sun St. Kitts/Nevis and the Antigua Sun, adding: “This is why in our estimation, Prime Minister of St. Kitts/Nevis, Dr. Denzil Douglas, made the right move to take control of the national security portfolio following the resignation of Dwyer Astaphan.”

“We would want to suggest that the prime minister of Antigua and Barbuda (Hon. Baldwin Spencer) might not be too far away from assuming a similar role, understanding that the situation now calls for his close attention and that none can be expected to bring things back to order but he, since so many citizens of the country had put their faith in him to lead them in several ways,” said the editorial.
