As some may be aware, I have been named in a civil lawsuit filed in the United States of
America by MSR Media International and Philippe Martinez against former and present
government officials in St. Kitts and Nevis and CIP actors who operated in St. Kitts and
Nevis who are presently constructing a hotel in Saint Lucia.
In an interview on the evening of Thursday 6th June, 2024 on the Daher Broadcasting
Station (“DBS”) with Lisa Joseph, Mr. Phillipe Martinez stated that in conversation with
him, I inferred that the Minister with Responsibility for the CIP Programme, Hon. Dr.
Ernest Hilaire was involved in an alleged CIP scam.
I wish to draw to the attention of the Saint Lucian public, the reason and nature of my
meeting with Mr Martinez and the position of the CIP Unit of Saint Lucia:

1. I have been extremely concerned and perplexed by the inclusion of my name, as a
   co-defendant, in the lawsuit brought by Philippe Martinez under the RICO
   legislation in the United States of America.
2. On the invitation of Mr. Martinez, through his local representative, I agreed to meet
   with him and his lawyers to gain an understanding and reasons for my inclusion in
   the civil suit being filed and to avert any possibility of reputational damage to the
   Saint Lucia CIP Unit. At the meeting with Mr Martinez, no evidence was presented
   to me to substantiate the allegation of any scam in the Saint Lucia CIP Programme.
3. Moreover, I made it very clear to Mr. Martinez that I was not aware of Hon. Hilaire
   or any Saint Lucian official being involved in any scam or illegal activities as it
   relates to the operation of the CIP Programme.
4. I further explained that the issuance of real estate shares went through all proper
   legal processes and the related funds were properly accounted for in the Escrow
   account set up for that purpose.
