A NEW $300m CBI SCANDAL BREAKS IN SAINT KITTS, IMPLICATING PRIME MINISTER TERRANCE DREW, AFTER A LEAK EXPOSES HIS HIDDEN AGREEMENT WITH A BARBADOS CONTRACTOR, INCLUDING 4800 SKN PASSPORTS TO BE ISSUED

A leak, reportedly from an anonymous source within Saint Kitts & Nevis Government, has revealed that the country's Prime Minister, TERRANCE DREW, has quietly entered into a suspicious CBI agreement with a Barbados contractor, involving the Basseterre High School, in which the funds to be derived from passport sales will exceed construction costs by USD$260m. The matter, which has elements similar to the corrupt CARIBBEAN GALAXY Jail Project, and which potentially will result in the issuance of 4800 new SKN passports, has resulted in angry protests by Drew's Kittitian constituents, who have demanded that the complete text of the contract, with the Barbadian company, PRECONCO LTD, be made public, and what has been described as a fraud subject to close examination, and possible cancellation. Construction costs are estimated to be less than USD$40m. What's wrong with this picture?

To add to the public outcry, the awarding of the project to a company located outside Saint Kitts, rather than local contractors, has raised questions of corruption; were bribes and kickbacks promised to SKN government officials? Why did PM Drew conceal this matter from the public? The matter, which has been described as inciting a firestorm of controversy, could not only bring the entire CBI program into jeopardy, but threaten the viability of the present Drew administration. As soon as the contract is made public, which has been demanded, we intend to publish the relevant portion for our readers. Apparently, the Saint Kitts government has no shame, when it comes to defrauding the people it is supposed to serve.
