Whilst in Opposition, PHILIP PIERRE complained that the price of gas was too high when it was capped at $13.95 a gallon. Now that he is Prime Minister, he sees nothing wrong with the price of gas being $16.50 a gallon even though the price of the barrel of oil is the same. Sans Hontes! #PJPMustGo#SaveOurSaintLucia

This policy introduced by former Prime Minister Hon. Allen…

In contrast, the increase in homicides during the SLP’s tenure points to rising concerns over the effectiveness of the current administration’s crime prevention policies. The sustained rate of over 70 homicides per year under the…
