PAPERS LAID BEFORE THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY AT FEBRUARY 12 SITTING 

Basseterre, Saint Kitts, February 12, 2026 (SKNIS): During the Sitting of the National Assembly held on Thursday, February 12, 2026, several important financial statements and management accounts were formally laid in the Honourable House, underscoring the government’s continued commitment to transparency, accountability, and sound financial governance.

With leave of the House, the Honourable Member for St. Christopher Eight (8), Dr. Terrance Drew, laid the Financial Services Regulatory Commission, St. Christopher Branch Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, expressed in Eastern Caribbean Dollars. The tabling of these statements provides Members of Parliament and the public with insight into the financial performance and oversight responsibilities of the Commission.

The Honourable Senator, Dr. Joyelle Clarke, subsequently laid in the House the Financial Statements of the St. Christopher and Nevis Solid Waste Management Corporation for the years ended December 31, 2021; December 31, 2022; and December 31, 2023. These reports reflect the operational and financial position of the Corporation over the three-year period and support parliamentary review of the entity’s stewardship in delivering essential waste management services across the Federation.

The Honourable Attorney General, Garth Wilkin, also sought leave to lay several key documents before the Assembly, including: The St. Christopher Air and Sea Ports Authority (SCASPA) Management Accounts for December 2025; The St. Christopher Air and Sea Ports Authority Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024; and The St. Christopher Tourism Authority Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The tabling of these documents allows for legislative scrutiny of the financial performance and operational management of key statutory bodies and authorities, particularly those central to financial regulation, environmental management, port operations, and tourism development.

The Government of Saint Kitts and Nevis remains steadfast in its efforts to ensure that statutory corporations and public entities adhere to high standards of financial reporting and accountability, thereby strengthening public trust and promoting responsible governance.
