Nevis’ Integrity Commission Reports 2025 Declaration Compliance, Urges Outstanding Declarants to File

NIA  /  0 comments

NIA CHARLESTOWN, NEVIS (October 28, 2026)- The Integrity Commission (Nevis) has issued its report on declarations of income, assets and liabilities for 2025, highlighting compliance levels and urging outstanding declarants to fulfil their legal obligations. The findings were presented by Chairman of the Commission, Mr. Ricaldo Caines, on October 27. Of the 74 persons required to submit declarations by April 30, 2026, 42 (57 percent) filed on time, while 10 (13 percent) submitted their declarations late by June 30. A further 17 (23 percent) submitted declarations after June 30, while five (7 percent) remain non-compliant, having neither filed their declarations nor communicated with the Commission. The Commission emphasised that filing declarations is a statutory obligation under the Integrity in Public Life Ordinance, Cap. 1.02, and an important mechanism for promoting transparency, accountability and public confidence in government and public institutions. Expressing concern about the five outstanding declarants, the Commission urged them to submit their declarations without further delay. It stressed that compliance is mandatory, regardless of an individual’s position or seniority, and encouraged anyone experiencing genuine difficulties to communicate with the Commission in writing. The report also identified recurring deficiencies in submissions, including incomplete or blank forms, missing supporting documentation and failure to provide required information about spouses or eligible children. To address these issues, the Commission has discontinued the acceptance of declarations in sealed envelopes and reminded declarants to follow all filing instructions and submit the required information and supporting documents. Under Section 29(1) of the Ordinance, failure without reasonable cause to submit a required declaration or further particulars, or knowingly making a materially false declaration, constitutes an offence punishable upon summary conviction by a fine of $50,000, imprisonment for five years, or both. The Commission warned that continued non-compliance could result in further action under the law, including publication of the names of non-compliant declarants in the newspaper and Official Gazette and referral to the Director of Public Prosecutions for prosecution. It also reaffirmed its independence and impartiality in carrying out its statutory responsibilities, stressing that political office, administrative rank or seniority does not exempt anyone from the law or confer authority to influence the Commission’s work. The Commission thanked those who filed on time and those who subsequently regularised their positions. It encouraged all persons in public life to prepare well in advance of future deadlines and regard compliance as an essential demonstration of professionalism, accountability and respect for the people of Nevis. The Integrity Commission (Nevis) reaffirmed its commitment to fulfilling its mandate fairly, professionally and in accordance with the law, underscoring the importance of declaration compliance in strengthening integrity in public life.

Ministry of Health Implements Measures to Contain Chickenpox Outbreak on Nevis

NIA  /  0 comments

NIA CHARLESTOWN, NEVIS (October 27, 2026)- The Ministry of Health on Nevis has implemented measures to contain an outbreak of chickenpox on the island following the confirmation of 11 cases. Management of the Alexandra Hospital issued a notice on Monday, October 26, announcing the immediate temporary suspension of visits to the institution and the Flamboyant Nursing Home until Sunday, November 1, in the first instance. “This precautionary measure follows the identification of chickenpox cases at the hospital and is intended to help prevent further spread of the infection. The suspension will be reviewed based on advice from the hospital’s Infection, Prevention and Control Team. The public will be advised of any extension or the resumption of normal visitation. “Members of the public who are experiencing symptoms of chickenpox or suspect that they may have chickenpox are asked to call ahead before visiting any healthcare facility, including the hospital,” the notice stated. During his monthly press conference on Tuesday, October 27, Premier of Nevis, the Honourable Mark Brantley, provided an update on the situation, noting that although the number of confirmed cases remains relatively low, the Ministry has responded swiftly to limit further transmission. “We’ve had 11 confirmed cases. The first case was detected on October 24. There are no suspected cases under investigation. Should the public be concerned about an outbreak, yes. It is considered an outbreak and not a cluster as we already have 10 cases and that is the threshold that is set by PAHO. We have 11 cases so we definitely have an outbreak. “No cases have been reported in schools or daycare centres,” he said. Chickenpox is a highly contagious viral infection that spreads through direct contact with an infected person, inhalation of airborne particles released when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or contact with fluids from an infected person’s eyes, nose, mouth or blisters. Symptoms typically begin with a low-grade fever, tiredness, headache and loss of appetite, sometimes accompanied by stomach pain. An itchy rash then develops, with small, fluid-filled blisters that eventually break and form scabs. Although children are particularly susceptible, adults can also contract the infection. The Premier noted that the chickenpox vaccine is not available at public health facilities because it is not included in the Federation’s national immunisation schedule. However, the vaccine may be available through some private healthcare providers. Outlining the measures being taken to contain the outbreak, Premier Brantley said a public surveillance team had been activated to identify new cases and conduct contact tracing. Public announcements have also been issued to raise awareness and inform residents about the situation. He acknowledged the possibility of further transmission within households and indicated that health officials expect the number of cases to rise. The Premier urged residents to remain vigilant, familiarise themselves with the symptoms and avoid going to work, school or social gatherings if they become ill. Persons experiencing symptoms are also advised not to visit physicians’ offices in person, as doing so could expose healthcare staff and other patients to the virus. Instead, they should contact their healthcare providers by telephone or video call and remain at home while unwell. “Early identification and home isolation can significantly reduce spread,” he advised. The Ministry of Health continues to monitor the situation and is urging the public to follow the guidance of healthcare providers to help prevent further transmission of the infection.

NIA CHARLESTOWN, NEVIS (October 26, 2026)– The Nevis Island Administration, through the Nevis Post Office, has honoured centenarian Mrs. Ernestine Alberta France Wilks of Scarborough Village, St. James Parish, with the issuance of a commemorative 30-cent stamp celebrating her 100th birthday. Born in 1926, Mrs. Wilks celebrated her birthday on May 19, becoming Nevis’ newest centenarian. She is one of six centenarians on the island and the ninth in the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis. At the unveiling ceremony on Friday, October 23, the Honourable Spencer Brand, Minister responsible for Post, explained that the initiative was conceived as a lasting tribute to individuals who reach the age of 100. He saluted Mrs. Wilks for her contributions over the past century, describing her as one of the hardworking individuals who helped shape the Nevis celebrated today. “We are here recognizing a remarkable woman who has attained the age of 100 years. A stamp is a significant piece of paper…and I’m very proud because now the world is going to know who Mrs. Ernestine Alberta France Wilks is…Here is a lady, born in Nevis of humble beginnings just several years after the first World War, in the peak and the height of the chaos and confusion in the world, and yet she exhibited kindness and resourcefulness. “She is a great example that it doesn’t matter where or when we were born, we are born with certain attributes. I want to say thank you to the family on behalf of the Cabinet of the Nevis Island Administration and on behalf of the people of Nevis and the hardworking staff at the post office, for allowing us to celebrate with you this wonderful achievement of a lady who you cherish dearly.” Mrs. Wilks’ granddaughter, Ms. Angelica Browne, accepted a plaque depicting the 2026 commemorative stamp on behalf of the family. She expressed profound gratitude to all involved “for making it possible to honour our mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and great great grandmother on her milestone of 100 years”. Deputy Postmaster Mrs. Marva Parris also addressed the gathering, describing the occasion as a historic moment that bridges a century of living history with the dawn of a digital future. Throughout her life, Mrs. Wilks has demonstrated resilience, determination and devotion to her family. She learned to farm at a young age, developing a strong work ethic that remained with her throughout the years. Whether farming or caring for her loved ones, she approached her responsibilities with dedication and grace. Known across Nevis for her delicious sugarcakes, Mrs. Wilks made and sold the treats to help support her nine children and other children she welcomed into her family. Her strength, kindness and generosity have left a lasting impression on those who know her. The commemorative stamp ensures that Mrs. Wilks’ story and contributions will be recognised beyond her family and community, preserving her place in Nevis’ history.

Another Movie Filmed in Nevis Heads to US Theatres

NIA  /  0 comments

NIA CHARLESTOWN, NEVIS (October 23, 2026)- Nevis continues to strengthen its reputation as a destination for international film production, with the release of the trailer for Apples & Airplanes, a romantic comedy filmed on the island and scheduled to reach theatres in the United States beginning in November. The film is the latest production to showcase Nevis on screen, featuring a number of the island’s iconic locations as well as lesser-known scenic spots. Its upcoming theatrical release presents another opportunity to promote Nevis internationally while demonstrating the potential of the film industry to support tourism, local businesses and economic development. Honourable Mark Brantley, Premier of Nevis, said the release reflects the progress being made towards the Nevis Island Administration’s vision of developing a film industry on the island. “During the Covid 19 pandemic the NIA set about creating a film industry from the ground up in Nevis. We continue to pursue that objective and this movie hitting theatres soon in the United States is further evidence that the vision of our government being realized.” The Premier noted that film productions also provide opportunities to expand Nevis’ international visibility and create benefits for the local community. “Each film production provides an opportunity to introduce Nevis to new audiences around the world, showcasing the island’s distinctive character and creating valuable exposure beyond traditional tourism marketing. As more productions choose Nevis, we see opportunities to build local capacity, engage Nevisian talent and support local businesses.” Apples & Airplanes is directed by Camilo Diaz Caro and written by Sarafina King, who also stars alongside Jake Lockett and Dominic Burgess. The film is scheduled to premiere at a theatre in Los Angeles on November 11, 2026, before beginning a wider theatrical run across the United States from January through March 2027, with screenings planned in several states. The upcoming release follows other major productions filmed on the island, including Terry McMillan Presents: Paradise with You, a Lifetime movie scheduled to premiere in Fall 2026 as part of the network’s Love of a Lifetime slate. Starring award-winning actor Taye Diggs, the production was filmed entirely on location in Nevis and features the island’s secluded beaches, historic estates and lush volcanic landscapes. Together, these and a number of previous productions are helping to raise Nevis’ profile as a location for international filmmaking, placing the island before wider audiences and reinforcing its appeal as a distinctive Caribbean destination.

ABC News: Tiny Caribbean island of Nevis to restore Alexander Hamilton museum with US funds

NIA  /  0 comments

St. Kitts and Nevis has received a financial boost in honor of one of its most famous sons, Alexander Hamilton, who went on to become a founding father of the United States and America’s first treasury secretary By The Associated Press October 21, 2026 Tiny Caribbean island of Nevis to restore Alexander Hamilton museum with US funds – ABC News St. Kitts and Nevis has received a financial boost in honor of one of its most famous sons, Alexander Hamilton, who went on to become a founding father of the United States and America’s first treasury secretary. The U.S. government this month awarded $245,000 to restore the home where some believe Hamilton once lived as the U.S. celebrates its 250th anniversary.https://amp.cntxcdm.com/amp-embed/index.html?playerId=ps_94a77ea9-06c2-4b60-a975-daa5b45dbe79&url=https%3A%2F%2Fabcnews.com%2Famp%2FInternational%2FwireStory%2Ftiny-caribbean-island-nevis-restore-alexander-hamilton-museum-137459726&isSafariOrIos=false Hamilton was born on the tiny eastern Caribbean island of Nevis in the mid-18th century and spent his childhood living at his adopted father’s home in Charlestown. The 17th-century Georgian stone building is now Hamilton House, a museum that houses documents from the famous forefather’s early years and features exhibits honoring other Caribbean personalities. But it has demanded constant repairs: time and salty air have damaged the woodwork. Nevis Premier Mark Brantley told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he’s grateful for the funds. “We have tried valiantly as locals to preserve these very important historical monuments,” he said. Despite Hamilton having lived only the early part of his childhood in Nevis, the premier believes his legacy is inspiring. “Hamilton is significant because I think it’s a demonstration of what a small island like Nevis, a little dot in the ocean, can contribute to the founding of the greatest nation in the world, the United States,” Brantley said. The two-story, Georgian stone building that was originally built around 1680 was destroyed by an earthquake in 1840 and was last restored in 1983. Brantley said the restoration work is important to both the U.S. and Nevis: “Hamilton remains, I think, an iconic figure for us and a figure that we can look at his legacy and inspire our own people to achieve and to know that greatness is available for all of us.”

NIA annual seminar reinforces professionalism and service standards for Nevis taxi operators

NIA  /  0 comments

NIA CHARLESTOWN, NEVIS (October 21, 2026)- The Nevis Island Administration (NIA) Ministry of Tourism hosted its annual refresher seminar for certified taxi operators on Tuesday, October 20, providing an opportunity for participants to refresh their skills, reinforce professional standards and enhance the quality of service offered to visitors ahead of the official start of the 2026/2027 tourist season. The seminar, held at the Malcolm Guishard Recreational Park, brought together approximately 40 taxi operators for sessions on customer service excellence, taxi regulations, Nevis’ history and the art of storytelling. Vanessa Webbe, Product Development Manager in the Ministry of Tourism, welcomed participants during the opening ceremony and highlighted their important role in the island’s tourism industry. She noted that taxi operators work at the intersection of transportation and tourism and are often among the first people visitors encounter, placing them in a unique position to create a lasting positive impression of Nevis. Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Tourism John Hanley thanked the operators for their continued contribution to Nevis’ tourism industry. He reminded them that their conduct and service play a significant role in shaping visitors’ experiences and influencing their overall impression of the island, urging them to maintain the highest standards of professionalism. “Of the first and most important people visitors will meet when they arrive will be you our taxi operators. You may be the first to offer them a glimpse into our way of life and the first to help them feel welcome. In many instances you may be the last people they see before departing. That makes you much more than drivers- you are destination ambassadors, story tellers, representatives of our people and partners in the development of Nevis as a premiere tourism destination.” Mr. Hanley also underscored the importance of honesty, integrity and adherence to established taxi rates, reminding operators that visitors must feel confident that they are receiving fair and reliable service. “Respecting the official taxi rates is not optional. It is a fundamental obligation of professional service…They should never have to worry about being overcharged, misled, or taken advantage of. “Every professional interaction contributes to the image of our island. The impression you leave can influence whether visitors recommend Nevis to their friends, return for another vacation or share positive experiences with the wider world. That is why the standards we discuss today matter so much.” Participants were further reminded of the importance of courtesy, punctuality and maintaining a professional approach in their interactions with visitors, all of which contribute to a positive visitor experience and the island’s reputation as a tourism destination. The seminar featured presentations by Greg Phillip, who shared practical strategies for delivering professional, welcoming and memorable customer service; Joanne Manners, who addressed taxi regulations; and Leonard Stapleton, who explored Nevis’ history and the art of storytelling. Through these sessions, operators had the opportunity to revisit essential information, strengthen their customer service skills and build on their knowledge of the island’s heritage, enabling them to provide visitors with more informative and engaging experiences. The programme also allowed taxi operators to ask questions, raise concerns and engage with facilitators on matters relevant to their work. Senior members of staff from the Ministry of Tourism were also in attendance. The annual refresher seminar forms part of the Ministry of Tourism’s ongoing efforts to support taxi operators in maintaining professional standards and delivering quality service as Nevis prepares to welcome visitors during the 2026/2027 tourist season.
