Basseterre, St. Kitts: Dr. Terrance Drew, Prime Minister, St. Kitts and Nevis, has clarified all the misleading claims being spread against him for his name being in the RICO Lawsuit filed in the US Federal Court related to CBI underselling and focuses on furthering good governance agenda.
On June 3, 2024, PM Drew made a bold statement, “Let me make this abundantly clear that no such lawsuit has been filed against me in my personal or professional capacity, nor have I been named in any such lawsuit in the U.S.”
“In fact, it is under my leadership that CBI underselling was outlawed in St. Kitts and Nevis,” Dr. Terrance Drew added while making the bold statement.
Dr. Drew clarified another claim for judicial review that exists in the minds of the citizens. A claim for judicial review is a legal proceeding in which the court can review a government’s administrative actions.
PM Terrance Drew, therefore, noted that, while currently serving as the Minister of National Security, it is his responsibility to address the local judicial review claim.
He also said that it must be noted that this judicial review matter is an entirely separate legal proceeding from the RICO Lawsuit in the US Federal Court, and it does not allege any inappropriateness, misconduct, or corruption on his part.
As the Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis, he will continue to lead with integrity and dignity and in keeping with the good governance agenda of the Labour Administration, he duly added.
Dr. Terrance Drew, on that account, by words and examples, strongly urged all Ministers serving in his Administration, as well as the government officials and civil servants, to discharge the duties consigned to them with integrity in keeping with the ‘good governance agenda’ of this Administration.
