What does the early announcement of a 4^th consecutive double salary here in St. Kitts & Nevis mean?

At a National Consultation on the Federation’s Economy, on Tuesday Oct. 8^th, at the St. Kitts Marriott Resort, Prime Minister, Dr. the Hon. Timothy Harris, stated that “for the 5th year in a row, we are having economic growth”. In addition, he noted that because of the how the Government has been managing the country’s finance; a double salary will be paid to all government employees.
