The United Workers Party (UWP) has issued a resolute declaration of war against
corruption and victimization in Saint Lucia, following a series of troubling revelations that
have rocked the nation. The announcement comes amidst mounting concerns over
transparency, accountability, and ethical governance within the current administration.
The UWP’s call to action comes on the heels of several alarming developments:
- Unaccounted Citizenship by Investment Funds: Allegations that a staggering
US$1.4 billion of citizenship by investment funds remain unaccounted for and the
unlawful transfer of funds to Caribbean Galaxy raises serious questions about
financial mismanagement and transparency within the government. - Victimization of Vendors: Reports of victimization of vendors in Castries by Local
Government Minister Richard Frederick have sparked outrage among citizens,
highlighting the need to protect the rights and livelihoods of all citizens, especially
those in vulnerable positions. - Secretive Port Deals: Concerns have been raised regarding the secretive nature of
the government’s dealings, particularly the giveaway of two of Saint Lucia’s ports of
entry. The lack of transparency in such crucial matters continues to erode public
trust in the Philip J Pierre led administration. - Intimidation of Civil Servants: Disturbing reports have emerged of intimidation
tactics being used against civil servants who dare to speak out against the numerous
scandals plaguing the government. This culture of fear stifles dissent and
undermines the democratic process.
In response to these alarming developments, UWP Leader and Leader of the Opposition,
Hon. Allen Chastanet, has issued a rallying cry for all Saint Lucians to unite in the fight
against corruption and victimization. He emphasizes the importance of holding the
government accountable for its actions and ensuring that the rights and interests of all
citizens are protected and he made a clarion call to all Public Servants that it is their duty to
protect the people, not the Ministers.
“Enough is enough,” declared Hon. Allen Chastanet. “The rampant corruption,
victimization, and lack of transparency cannot be allowed to continue unchecked. It is time
for us to stand together and demand accountability from those in power. The UWP is
committed to leading the charge against corruption and fighting for a government that
serves the interests of all Saint Lucians.”
The UWP calls on all citizens, civil society organizations, and stakeholders to join forces in
this critical battle for transparency, accountability, and good governance. Together, we can
build a brighter future for Saint Lucia, free from corruption and victimization.
