The gratitude came from Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture Hon. Kelvin Daly in an interview with the Department of Information on Monday following the start of demolition work on the 50 year old facility on Sunday.
“It may sound political but it is really not. It is all about accountability and transparency and just to say thank you to persons who have assisted. This Public Market has been an eyesore for a while on Nevis.

CHARLESTOWN NEVIS (December 15, 2010) -- The Vendors at the Charlestown Public Market received a public apology from Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture on Nevis Dr. Kelvin Daly, for an unforeseen disruption in their service early Monday morning. He said a miscommunication between the contractor and his Ministry with regard to the exact time demolition work would commence on the market was responsible.
In an interview with the Department of Information on Monday, he noted that the Ministry was able to spring into action with its pre arranged plans to house the vendors when they arrived at the Market and demolition work had already commenced.
