FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Dr the Hon Timothy Harris, the National Party Leader of The Peoples Labour Party (PLP), has congratulated Attorney Mrs Natasha “Shanny” Grey-Brookes on her election as Political Leader of the People’s Action Movement (PAM) at Sunday’s caucus of the party.

PLP Chairperson, Ms Wendy Phipps, joins Dr Harris in his commendation of Mrs Grey-Brookes. Ms Phipps said,
“The election of Mrs Grey-Brookes as leader of PAM bodes well for the advancement of women in political leadership of our Federation, given that up until the election of Mrs Janice Daniel-Hodge as leader of the Nevis Reformation Party (NRP) several years ago, political leadership had been dominated by men.

In congratulating Mrs Grey-Brookes, the PLP leader spoke to the issues confronting the people of St. Kitts and Nevis. Dr Harris is mindful of the fact that under the current Dr Terrance Drew-led Administration our citizens and residents face very difficult challenges including, but not limited to, a crippling cost of living, surging crime, high levels of political victimization and a struggling economy. Dr Harris noted that this is a time for patriots of our Federation to work together to relieve the suffering of our people being caused by this incompetent and uncaring government.
