Under the leadership of Allen Chastanet, even during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, two brand-new health and wellness facilities were constructed in Anse La Raye and Micoud, ensuring that healthcare access was expanded to more Saint Lucians. In stark contrast, Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre has now spent four years in office without delivering a single new health…
It’s becoming increasingly clear that Education Minister Shawn Edward has done nothing new since taking office. Instead, he continues to take credit for initiatives that were conceptualised, funded, and launched under the leadership of Hon. Dr. Gale Rigobert and the United Workers Party.
