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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
