Akash Sama­roo

The for­mer prime min­is­ter of St Vin­cent and the Grenadines has made a bomb­shell al­le­ga­tion, claim­ing that For­eign and Cari­com Af­fairs Min­is­ter Sean Sobers was not barred or “dis­in­vit­ed” from the re­treat in Nevis, but in­stead in­formed re­gion­al of­fi­cials that he could not make the trip by boat due to sea­sick­ness.

While Dr Ralph Gon­salves was not in at­ten­dance in St Kitts and Nevis in Feb­ru­ary for the last Cari­com meet­ing af­ter los­ing the elec­tions in his coun­try, he said he still has sources which are “100 per cent re­li­able.”
