NEVIS-POLITICS-Opposition accuses government of victimisation

Feb 26, 2013

CHARLESTOWN, Nevis, CMC – Leader of the main opposition Nevis reformation Party (NRP), Joseph Parry, is accusing the new administration here of victimisation and sending home at least 100 workers since it took up office following the January 22 Nevis Island Administration (NIA) election. Parry said the Concerned Citizens Movement (CCM) government of Premier Vance Amory is intent on “dismantling every programme that we developed during our term of office. “Under the guise of saving EC$250,000 (One EC dollar = US$0.37 cents) monthly- over 100 persons have been sent home without a job. Mr. Amory has claimed that these persons were not needed. Some did not turn up to work and others never worked. The CCM propaganda machine has repeated this statement world-wide,” he told a news conference.
