PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – The Turks and Caicos Islands is still considering political independence from Britain, Premier Dr. Rufus Ewing has said. Ewing told the Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) that “independence remains a major issue” three years after Britain suspended the island’s constitution and set up a one-man commission to probe the government of then premier Michael Misick. “I think any right thinking country should have independence as its destination. The time period however is the question. The need for independence must be the goal and so everything you do should be to prepare your people and country for that giant step.
