With all of these development, yes it is very good! But, where are we going to get water to accommodate such projects. Every night I ain’t got water. We need to first invest in water tanks before we bring in more people to take the little water that we have.
We need a state of the art hospital associated with Ross to be established in st kitts so that students can get modern up to date hands on experiance. And patients also will get on island top treatment. Locals. And visitors will benefit. Also a boost to our tourism product. Jc
