BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS & NEVIS – A mold epidemic continues to sweep through government facilities across the federation, leaving civil servants sick, frustrated, and unheard. From the Alexandria Hospital on Nevis to the Nevis Court House and other government buildings, mold infestations have become a severe health hazard, yet the authorities refuse to act.

Despite mounting evidence of workers falling ill due to prolonged exposure, Nevis Minister of Health and Premier Mark Brantley has shockingly dismissed the growing crisis, even downplaying it by suggesting that mold can be found in people’s homes and gyms. This response has triggered a wave of condemnation from concerned citizens who are demanding urgent intervention.

Nevis Court House in Crisis – Staff Falling Ill, One Worker Dead

A whistleblower from the Nevis Court House has exposed the horrifying conditions inside the building, where rampant mold contamination has left more than half the staff on sick leave. Employees have been forced to endure these toxic conditions for years, and despite numerous complaints, nothing has been done.

A shocking message sent to a local activist reads:

“Hey Obi, good morning. Mold in the court house building for years now, more than half the staff pan sick leave and nobody a take we serious. The premier sayin pan he show mold in we house or gym too, they have this as joke. One of the workers’ hands look like it eating off. We complained, they move us then put us back in the building. Same thing happening and worse. See now, the bailiff who was sick died last night. Not saying mold cause it, but I bet it ain’t help it either. Condolences. The mold problem need fixing. We scared to work there.”

A disturbing photo from one affected worker shows severe rashes and infections, allegedly caused by mold exposure inside the court house. Workers are now living in fear for their health, as they are forced to return to the same contaminated environment without any proper cleaning or remediation efforts.

Alexandria Hospital Littered with Mold – Patients and Staff at Risk

Over at the Alexandria Hospital in Nevis, reports confirm that mold is widespread, raising serious concerns about the health risks for patients and medical staff alike. The presence of mold in a healthcare facility is particularly alarming, as it poses life-threatening complications for those with respiratory conditions, weakened immune systems, and other preexisting health issues.

Gov’t Inaction – Are Civil Servants’ Lives Not a Priority?

Despite the visible health impacts and increasing public outcry, the government’s response has been dismissive at best and reckless at worst. The Federation’s civil servants—those who keep the country running—are being forced to work in toxic environments, with no clear plan from the authorities to resolve the issue.

With one worker now dead, staff falling seriously ill, and conditions worsening, the question remains—how many more must suffer before the government takes action?
