Prime Minister Pierre’s decision to shut down the 2025/2026 Budget Debate prematurely was more than just a parliamentary maneuver, it was an act of desperation. While much attention has rightly been focused on silencing Leader of the Opposition Hon. Allen Chastanet, let us not forget that Richard Frederick a senior minister in Pierre’s own Cabinet—was also blocked from speaking. Why?…
Saint Lucians are still asking one critical question after the abrupt and disgraceful end to the 2025/2026 Budget Debate: Why didn’t Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre allow Dr. Ernest Hilaire to speak?

Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre’s recent revelation that Anse la Raye/Canaries MP Wayne Girard is the architect of Saint Lucia’s Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) should alarm every right-thinking citizen.

As a concerned citizen of Saint Lucia, I cannot stay silent while our country’s resources are mismanaged, our laws are blatantly ignored, and our future is put at risk for the benefit of a few. That is why I stand firmly in support of Hon. Allen Chastanet’s legal battle to protect the integrity of our Citizenship by Investment Programme (CIP)…

It has now been close to a year since the Philip J. Pierre-led administration failed to appoint an Integrity Commission, a blatant disregard for transparency and good governance. This omission raises serious concerns, particularly given the cloud of corruption allegations hanging over several government ministers, including Richard Frederick, Ernest Hilaire, and Kenson Casimir.
