BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, CMC - The ruling St. Kitts Nevis Labour Party (SKNLP) has called for the resignations of two former members from Parliament saying they have breached the contracts given to them by the people who voted them into office during the last general election here.
“I think that as elected officials, they can just take a position and foist it on the people. We are saying that is not how it works, the people elect you, you must go back to them and get a fresh mandate from them,” said the SKNLP chair person, Marcella Liburd.
Liburd, a senior government minister, was referring to the decision by former deputy prime minister Sam Condor and senior minister Dr. Timothy Harris to launch a new political party.
