Dissident senators get praise from St Kitts

ST JOHN’S, Antigua – As the nation awaits Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer’s promised response to the senators who stood up against his government’s Citizenship by Investment (CIP) Act, the senators have been commended for voting with their conscience. Dwyer Astaphan, former St Kitts & Nevis National Security and Tourism Minister, was a guest on OBSERVER Radio’s Big Issues on Sunday. “Spencer ought to be commended for putting persons in there who are willing and able to stand and say what they feel and to speak from a position of conscience,” Astaphan said.
