Basseterre, St. Kitts (MoPIEUDT NEWS) — The Honourable Konris Maynard, Minister of Public Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, and Domestic Transport, will appear on Freedom Radio (106.5 FM) at 2 p.m. on Thursday, December 4, 2025, following a prior appearance on ZIZ Radio (96.1 FM) where he began a national conversation centered on the country’s water security and the expanding role of desalination in building a sustainable future.
The Minister’s media engagements come as St. Kitts and Nevis continues to experience challenges in maintaining an adequate supply of potable water from traditional groundwater and surface sources. During the radio discussions, Minister Maynard is expected to outline the Ministry’s strategic interventions—including significant investments in desalination —intended to strengthen the reliability and resilience of the national water system.
Ensuring a stable water supply has become a critical priority, particularly in light of shifting climate patterns and prolonged dry spells. The move toward desalination, therefore, forms part of a broader national effort to diversify water sources and enhance long-term sustainability across communities.
Listeners can tune in as Minister Maynard articulates the Ministry’s plans, provides updates on ongoing water-related projects, and invites public engagement on the future of the nation’s water infrastructure.
All are encouraged to join the discussion.
