The document discusses Prime Minister Douglas defending his government's management of St. Kitts and Nevis amid calls for change from the opposition. It argues the government's policies have protected the country from the economic impacts seen elsewhere in the Caribbean, leading to continued growth in tourism, education, agriculture, and social services. While change may be desired, the author says this is not the time for unplanned change that could threaten the stability and prosperity the current government has secured.
