The saga surrounding the Cannabis Authority Board in St. Kitts and Nevis continues as members appointed in 2021 assert their legitimacy, citing the absence of any official notice of dismissal. Despite this claim, the board has not convened since before August 2022, leaving the status of the authority in limbo.Adding to the confusion is the lack of clarity from the new Prime Minister Drew Administration, including Minister responsible Hon. Samal Duggins, regarding any new board appointments or meetings. Premier Brantley, among other concerned citizens, has criticized the stagnant development within the cannabis industry and the lack of progress under the current administration.The absence of transparency surrounding the board of directors further exacerbates the situation, with the general public and taxpayers left in the dark about the composition and actions of the authority. While technically still members of the board, it is likely that these appointed individuals are no longer being compensated for their roles.Calls for Minister Samal Duggins to address the nation on the state of the cannabis industry are intensifying, with citizens demanding clarity on the development, engagement of local farmers, and overall progress of the industry. Special advisor Duncan Wattley highlighted the need for clarity in a recent podcast, noting the confusion among the populace regarding the industry’s trajectory.As the cannabis industry in St. Kitts and Nevis remains mired in uncertainty, the urgency for transparency and effective governance becomes increasingly apparent. It is imperative that the government address these concerns and provide a clear roadmap for the future of the industry to ensure its success and benefit for all stakeholders.
