“It is rare Mr. Speaker, that anybody in a seat of power, privilege and prestige is minded to lead the charge to limit that power, privilege and prestige. It goes against the grain of human nature,” Member of Parliament (MP) Brantley stated. “But here we have a prime minister who is saying that this amendment will apply to me, and also will apply to whosoever may come.”

Honourable Brantley added that the amendment, which is the first constitutional amendment to be made since St. Kitts and Nevis gained sovereignty in 1983, will help to promote good governance.

“It forces the government and a leader to start to work from day one because if he or she is to have a legacy, he or she understands they do not have the luxury of 20 or 30 years,” he said.

Honourable Brantley described today as a “proud day” for the parliament.

The debate on the second reading of the Saint Christopher and Nevis (Tenure of Office of Prime Minister) (Amendment) Bill, 2019, continues tomorrow, Friday, November 29, 2019.
