Under the leadership of Hon. Allen Chastanet, the United Workers Party administration showed what it truly means to care for the people. In a time of rising costs and financial strain, the UWP provided Electricity Assistance Support to over 6,000 households for a 6 month period during the pandemic, helping ease the burden on our most vulnerable families.

Beware of Scams Using My Image I want to take a moment to warn the public about a number of fraudulent advertisements and social media posts that are circulating online, using my name and image to promote fake investment schemes and solicit money. Let me be absolutely clear: I have never and will never, ask anyone to invest in or…
Whilst serving as Prime Minister, Hon. Allen Chastanet kept his campaign promise and reduced VAT by 2.5% to ease the burden on individuals and households, putting more money in the pockets of Saint Lucians. In contrast, when Philip J.

As your former Parliamentary Representative for Anse La Raye/Canaries, I worked to make meaningful investments in our people, like the rehabilitation of the Millet Human Resource Community Center. This upgraded facility became a hub of opportunity: hosting skills training programmes, community workshops, youth empowerment sessions and more. It wasn’t just about fixing a building, it was about building lives and…
A million-dollar rescue mission is now underway not for lives, but for the Gros Islet Beach Park project, which ironically needs saving just months after its grand completion. The sea-facing wall of the park, which collapsed shortly after it was built, has become a symbol of poor governance, alleged corruption and blatant disregard for public funds. Whispers have turned into…
