““WHY CAN’T KONRIS SEE THE OBVIOUS?”
"Source Without Storage Is Not a Solution !”:
PLP Deputy Leader Dameon Lawrence Presses MInister Konris Maynard on St. Kitts Worsening Water Crisis

======================================

BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS, June 9, 2026 — People’s Labour Party Deputy Leader Dameon Lawrence has launched a blistering challenge to Minister of Public Infrastructure and Utilities Hon. Konris Maynard, accusing the Minister and the Drew administration of offering what he described as a misleading explanation for their failure to resolve the long-running water crisis on St. Kitts.

In a sharp public statement following a recent radio exchange involving Minister Maynard and a caller, Lawrence questioned why the Minister appeared to dismiss or downplay what many residents continue to see as the central weakness in the island’s water system: inadequate storage capacity.

“Why can’t Konris see the obvious? What is his motive?” Lawrence declared.

The controversy followed a caller’s recommendation that St. Kitts should examine and possibly model elements of Nevis’ approach to water management. According to Lawrence, the caller specifically referenced Nevis’ storage capacity as a major reason for its relative success. However, before responding to the substance of the caller’s point, Minister Maynard reportedly referenced a song he had made about “talking” — a remark Lawrence characterized as boastful, dismissive and condescending.

For Lawrence, the issue is not whether St. Kitts has found water sources. The issue, he argued, is whether the government has built the storage infrastructure needed to properly manage and distribute those sources.

“The truth can be delayed but never denied,” Lawrence stated. “Konris says we must ask what Nevis did. In his own words, Nevis increased their source, then matched their storage to the source they increased.”

Lawrence argued that St. Kitts has already made significant progress in identifying and developing sources of water, including work that began before the current Labour administration took office in August 2022. What has allegedly not kept pace, he said, is the expansion of storage capacity.

“We developed ground sources before Labour got into office. That process has continued since Labour got in office,” Lawrence said. “While Nevis is clearly having success in making both source and storage capacity equally important, Konris admits he knows the two are crucial to success in Nevis. Yet he prioritized a $50 million desalination source instead of bridging the deficit in storage capacity.”

The government has repeatedly pointed to desalination as a major pillar of its water security strategy. In July 2025, SKNIS reported that the Basseterre desalination plant was approximately 90 percent complete and designed to produce two million gallons of clean water per day for Basseterre, Frigate Bay, St. Peter’s and surrounding areas. The same report noted that new underground pipelines had been laid to connect the plant to the main two-million-gallon storage tank at Morne Peak.

But Lawrence’s criticism is aimed at what he considers a deeper policy contradiction. He says Maynard’s own comparison with Nevis proves that supply and storage must be advanced together.

“Konris admits we’ve increased our sources long before Nevis. Konris admits Nevis complemented their increased sources with adequate storage. Konris could not say we advanced our storage capacity in St. Kitts,” Lawrence argued. “Somehow, he goes on to deny the obvious.”

In a 2023 statement on water supply, the Water Services Department outlined the scale of the crisis, noting that St. Kitts had a production capacity of approximately 5.6 million gallons per day against demand of roughly 6.6 to 7 million gallons per day, creating a deficit of up to 1.4 million gallons daily. The same statement also said the island had about 7.5 million gallons of storage at the time, while warning that demand was projected to climb further.

For Lawrence, those figures support the argument that the crisis cannot be solved through speeches, shifting explanations or one-dimensional fixes. He contends that if St. Kitts continues to increase water sources without adequately expanding storage, communities will remain vulnerable to rationing, outages and uneven distribution.

“The issue we have in St. Kitts remains our failure to expand our storage capacity in line with the increased water sources,” Lawrence said. “It is a long-winded attempt to explain away the obvious to say otherwise.”

The latest exchange is likely to intensify public debate over the Drew administration’s handling of the water crisis, particularly given earlier assurances that the matter would be urgently addressed. In January 2023, Minister Maynard publicly stated that “this Government and this Ministry will solve the water problem,” while pointing to the administration’s commitment to tackling what officials described as a national water crisis.

More than three years after the Labour administration assumed office, however, many residents continue to complain about interruptions, rationing and uncertainty over water supply in several communities. For the opposition, the question is no longer whether the water crisis exists. The question is whether the government’s strategy is solving the right problem.

Lawrence’s intervention now places Minister Maynard under fresh pressure to explain whether the administration’s water plan includes a serious, measurable and islandwide expansion of storage capacity — or whether, as critics argue, St. Kitts is being asked to celebrate new sources without the infrastructure needed to make those sources reliable at the tap.

As Lawrence framed it, the matter is simple: Nevis reportedly matched source with storage. St. Kitts, he says, has failed to do the same.

And until that gap is closed, the political temperature around the water crisis is likely to rise even as residents wait for the one thing they were promised most — water that flows reliably when they need it.

ST.KITTS QUARRY ON THE MOVE, WHILE COUNTRY AT A STANDSTILL: Saba Project Highlights St. Kitts’ Post-2020 Infrastructure Gap
=============================

QUARRY BUILDS SABA WHILE ST. KITTS WAITS: PWD QUARRY Division Makes Regional Impact Amid Local Infrastructure Drought
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Interesting, isn’t it? Under the leadership of Jermaine “Sacky” Lake, the Quarry Division is now making a regional impact, reportedly supplying stones for a major infrastructure project in Saba. That speaks to the value of the investments made in upgrading the quarry and the hard work of its dedicated staff.

But here is the troubling irony: while St. Kitts materials are helping build major projects overseas, St. Kitts itself has not seen infrastructure development on a similar scale since the Team Unity administration delivered the Second Cruise Pier, Old Road Bay, and islandwide main road rehabilitation before 2020.
