Dr. Irvin Sweeney, a former Charge d’Affaires at the Embassy of St. Kitts and Nevis in Washington, D.C. said in a blog on the sknyahoogroups.com that Government Headquarters will be cleaned when a Unity government wins.
“The wind of change is really blowing. How soon will it clean out Govt Hq and the current leadership?” blogged Dr. Sweeney, in a response to the massive Labour Party meeting in West Basseterre on Thursday night.
Dr. Sweeney is a former candidate for the opposition People’s Action Movement who contested unsuccessfully two elections as a People’s Action Movement candidate
Mr. Astaphan is the mastermind behind the formation of a Unity Government, comprising elected representatives from the opposition People’s Action Movement (PAM), the Concerned Citizens Movement (CCM), Sam Condor and Timothy Harris.
Responding to an accusation from Alistair Yearwood, NRP’s representative on Inside the News recently that Operation Rescue has remained silent, while the CCM, one of the parties in the Unity configuration was dismissing scores of NRP supporters in Nevis, following the recent local government elections, Astaphan said the Unity Government will and must clean house.
“Yes because the country is in a mess….We the people gun clean house, the place needs to get cleaned up, the country needs to be cleaned,” said Astaphan.
