St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas said his governing St. Kitts Nevis Labour Party Administration will always strive for fiscal responsibility but was adamant that “debt will be incurred to improve the quality of life of the people of the country.”

“I think the performance of the Labour Administration under my watch has been given good grades, good marks by those (local, regional and international financial institutions) who continue to monitor the economic situation in St. Kitts and Nevis,” Prime Minister Douglas said in response to a question on the radio programme “Ask the Prime Minister” which debuted on ZIZ on Tuesday.

“We aim of course for a balance budget. That is what we aim for. We always aim for a balance budget. We try to ensure that there is enough primary surplus to ensure that we can generate the necessary financing for a number of capital projects. There are times when we have had to depart from what would have been the specific budgetary plan of the government,” said Dr. Douglas.

St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Denzil L. Douglas message to the students of the Charlestown Secondary School and the Gingerland Secondary School in Nevis was similar to that given to schools on St. Kitts.

“Shun the challenges that we face from those who encourage you to get into gangs and behave badly, committing crime and becoming violent, you can only prepare yourself properly to be productive citizens and for leadership if you will shun the negative things that can lead to your personal destruction and the overall collective destruction of our country.”

His visit to both schools on the sister island was one of several activities that marked the twin-island Federation’s 25th Anniversary of Independence which is being observed with the theme: “Pride, Development, Progress – INDEPENDENCE – 25 years of Success.”

“What role must you must play if you are going to sustain that independence for future generations after you. What role must you play today and how must you prepare yourself if you are to sustain what we have achieved for the next generation, for the next 25 years,” the Prime Minister told Charlestown Secondary School Fifth and Sixth Formers and the entire student body of the Gingerland Secondary School.

Government Ministers in St. Kitts wrapped up two days of visits to primary and secondary schools and the C.F.B. College on Tuesday, and Minister of State for Information Honourable Nigel Carty described the event as “enjoyable and nationalistically stirring.”

The visits to the educational institutions are done every year at Independence time although the hectic schedule was scaled down a few years ago, to include secondary schools only. As this year’s occasion marks the silver jubilee anniversary of Independence of St. Kitts and Nevis, Minister Carty said that it was important for the touring party headed by Prime Minister Honourable Dr. Denzil L. Douglas to visit all thirty schools.

Appearing on this week’s edition of Perspectives, the Minister of State for Information said the teachers, students and parents on hand were assured of Government’s commitment to provide quality education.

“There was a very strong message that this is the 25th Anniversary of Independence. We have achieved a great deal through the hard work of our forebearers and persons who went before us in leading the government of St. Kitts and Nevis,” he explained.
