The Appropriation (2023) Bill, 2022 was presented under the theme: “Towards Our Transformation as a Sustainable Small Island State.”

“That in itself tells you that we are moving our nation in a particular direction where it can sustain itself Madam Speaker. That is a lofty goal. That speaks, of course, that we are serious about making St. Kitts and Nevis viable and resilient, resilient not only in terms of our economy but resilient physically and structurally to deal with changes of climate,” said Prime Minister Dr. Drew during the wrap up of the debate on December 19.

Prime Minister Dr. Drew said that his government is very serious about transforming St. Kitts and Nevis into a sustainable small island state.

“It shows that when we speak about what we intend to do once the people would have invested that trust in us that we weren’t merely speaking words, but we were actually serious. And so, when we spoke about developing what we now call a sustainable small island state, in fact, we were very much serious when it came to that,” said Dr. Drew. “And so, as you can see from the Budget, which speaks to our progress as a sustainable small island state, you would recognize that in that Budget a great deal of discussions would have taken place. We would have acted quite prudently and we would not have acted callously, but prudently, understanding where we are economically as a region and where the world is.”

Dr. Drew expressed pleasure with his team for putting a “comprehensive” Budget together in just over four months. He added that the Government has “demonstrated that the budget is very well prepared.”
