The Sunday Times claimed it had evidence that Grenada and St Kitts and Nevis were among six African, Caribbean, Pacific nations which were getting aid and cash in return for giving their support to Japan’s pro-whaling stance.
BASSETERRE, St Kitts, Wednesday June 16, 2010 - The St Kitts and Nevis official named in a British newspaper report on countries accepting bribes to support Japan’s pro-whaling stance has described the article as being part of “an evil and vicious effort” to smear the twin-island federation and other small nations.
Marine Resources Minister Dr Timothy Harris made his own allegations as he dismissed the report in The Sunday Times.
Both his country and Grenada are denying that they were selling or willing to sell their whaling vote.
