By Loshaun Dixon

Premier Mark Brantley has not received formal documentation regarding Nevis’ share of Citizenship by Investment (CBI) proceeds.

Background

Premier Brantley met with Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew about three weeks ago, during which the Prime Minister indicated that the report had been obtained and was asking his Ministry of Finance and his technocrats to do an analysis on the report.

No Report Yet

“I have not seen the report as yet. I have said to him that I need a copy of the report, so that my team in Nevis can also do their analysis to determine what it is that this World Bank report says. But as I stand here today, I have not yet seen a copy of the report that the prime minister says is available. So it is not that I have abandoned at all the quest for Nevis to get a fair share of whatever is available, and not just money, but opportunity.”

Charlestown Accord

The concept of a “fair share” stems from the Charlestown Accord, which was signed by former leaders of the People’s Labour Party (PLP), the Concerned Citizens Movement (CCM), and the People’s Action Movement (PAM). However, Premier Brantley has not received formal documentation on the matter.

Conclusion

Premier Brantley reaffirmed his commitment to pursuing not just financial equity, but also opportunities for Nevisians on the national stage. “It’s not just about money but about ensuring Nevisians have opportunities, including key international representation.”
