Minister wants private sector to concentrate on trade and not political issues
BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, CMC – A senior member of the St. Kitts-Nevis government Wednesday urged the private sector to concentrate more on building trade relationships rather than engage in “questionable social and political battles”. International Trade, Industry, Commerce and Consumer Affairs Minister, Richard “Ricky” Skerritt, a former head of the private sector grouping here, said that the Chamber wastes far too much time and resources fighting political battles instead of taking advantage of the opportunities created by the government for growth and sustainability. “I believe I have the right to state my view publicly that the Chamber wastes far too much time and resources fighting questionable social and political battles, while at the same time devoting little effort at partnering with government on policy and programme development for strengthening investor confidence and generating private sector growth and sustainability.”
