BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS, DECEMBER 20TH 2011 (CUOPM) – Carnival and police officials are denying rumours making the rounds that J’Ouvert 2011 will end earlier than usual.

“There is no truth whatsoever to this rumour,” said Commissioner of Police, Mr. C.G. Walwyn when contacted by the Communications Unit in the Office of the Prime Minister (CUOPM).
Carnival Committee chairperson, Ms. Shannon Hawley also denied any prior arrangement for an early end to J’Ouvert, which starts at 1 am and normally ends close to midday.
