  • CCM 2010 Manifesto
    Concerned Citizens Movement Manifesto 2010 ALL THREE FOR WE LEADERSHIP YOU CAN TRUST CONCERNED CITIZENS MOVEMENT Memorializing The Life and Times of The Hon Malcolm Guishard Although we have had a by-election to fill the vacancy in St. Paul’s/St. John’s Constituency – Nevis 9, following the untimely passing of the Hon. Earl Malcolm Guishard on 12th June 2007, and the Concerned Citizens Movement was successful in retaining the seat, these are the first general elections since the death of our beloved stalwart. Much has been said about the life and times of the Hon. Malcolm Guishard or “Guish” as he was affectionately known. Notwithstanding all that has been said, much more needs to be said. The Concerned Citizens Movement is eternally grateful for the contribution he has made. His political savvy, coupled with his wellspring of energy and verve were dispensed selflessly and our Party, our beloved island of Nevis and indeed the Federation of St. Kitts/Nevis have been the beneficiaries. The Hon. Malcolm Guishard served the Concerned Citizens Movement for twenty (20) years. He served the people of Nevis in government for fourteen (14) years. He represented the Constituency of St. John’s in the Nevis Island Assembly for fourteen years. He represented the Constituency of St. Paul’s/St. John’s in the Federal Assembly for fourteen (14) years and the people of St. Kitts and Nevis for four (4) years as Leader of the Opposition in the Federal Parliament. There is perhaps no other who has consistently, passionately and vociferously championed the need for Nevis to have its own independent government than the Hon.

  • LOCAL GOVERNMENT SYSTEM in Saint Kitts and Nevis COUNTRY PROFILE 2019 SAINT KITTS and NEVIS
    THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT SYSTEM IN saint KITTS AND NEVIS COUNTRY PROFILE 2019 SAINT KITTS AND NEVIS SUMMARY Saint Kitts and Nevis is a federal constitutional monarchy with two spheres of government, the federal government and the Nevis Island administration, which is recognised in Chapter X of the constitution. There is no local government on Saint Kitts which is governed by the federal government, but the Nevis Island assembly serves as a local government for that island, has local tax-raising powers, and receives financial disbursements from the federal government proportional to the population of Nevis. Following the 2017 local government elections 12.5% of assembly members were women. The Nevis Island administration is empowered in Nevis by the constitution to pass laws that promote peace, order and good government on the island and, among other responsibilities, is responsible on the island for airports and seaports, education, extraction and processing of minerals, fisheries, health, welfare and labour. 1.
