“On behalf of the Ministry of Health and on behalf of the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis, I want to thank all of you who work so hard and trust that you continue to enjoy working at Solid Waste, working at Parks and Beaches, working at Environmental Health because your task is as important as the task of the Prime Minister.
