Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar has in­vit­ed Chief Sec­re­tary Far­ley Au­gus­tine to ac­com­pa­ny her con­tin­gent for the Cari­com Heads of Gov­ern­ment Meet­ing in St Kitts and Nevis, from Feb­ru­ary 24-27. At a vir­tu­al me­dia con­fer­ence on Sun­day, Au­gus­tine said he has ac­cept­ed the in­vi­ta­tion and will en­gage lo­cal of­fi­cials on the is­lands to get a bet­ter un­der­stand­ing of their gov­er­nance struc­ture.

He said these dis­cus­sions will help in­form the To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly (THA) as it con­tin­ues its push for au­ton­o­my. He de­scribed St Kitts' laws as pro­gres­sive and some­thing To­ba­go could em­u­late.
