Halls of Injustice: Pierre and Frederick’s Monument of Lies

The United Workers Party (UWP) strongly condemns the blatant deception by Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre and Housing Minister Richard Frederick regarding the so-called “Halls of Justice” project. What was promised as a shining monument to law and order has instead become a symbol of lies, secrecy and the deliberate manipulation of the Saint Lucian people. Almost one year ago,…

Castries Vendors Betrayed by the SLP Administration yet Again!

Vendors in the City of Castries continue to face victimization under this uncaring and insensitive SLP administration. Those who were relocated to the La Place Carenage carpark to facilitate the project were promised priority placement in the new Box Park project. However, these promises have been broken by Castries Central MP Richard Frederick. Instead of honoring their commitment, the vendors…

Saint Lucia’s CIP Mismanagement puts citizens Travel to the United States at Risk

The Government of Saint Lucia’s reckless mismanagement of the Citizenship by Investment Programme (CIP) has now placed the entire nation in jeopardy.

This is not just an administrative failure, it is a national crisis that threatens our…

A Troubling Choice for Saint Lucia’s Sovereign Wealth Fund

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. Entrusting the management of our nation’s wealth to Girard raises serious concerns, given his past association with Freedom Bay, a failed hotel development project in Soufriere that reportedly defrauded British pensioners…

Pierre is poised to introduce a controversial Sovereign Wealth Fund that will give unprecedented control of the nation’s most valuable assets to foreign interests, sparking serious concerns about national sovereignty and economic security.

A Government at War with the Police is A Nation in Danger

The continued victimization of police officers under this uncaring and vindictive SLP administration, led by Philip J. Pierre, is not just an attack on law enforcement, it is an attack on the very foundation of law and order in our country. First, they victimized the close protection officer of the Leader of the Opposition, Hon. Allen Chastanet, in a blatant…

Statement from Hon. Allen Chastanet on his CIP Judicial Review

The judicial action which I have taken against the Citizenship by Investment Unit, is not to stop the program, but to stop the blatant CORRUPTION. How can it be right that our citizenship which is legally priced at US$100,000 per person, was being undersold for as low as US$65,000? Why was US$1 BILLION worth of citizenships given to Galaxy to…

Defending Saint Lucia: Why Allen Chastanet’s Legal Battle Matters for Us All

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)…

More evidence of UWP’s support to assist Jeremiah Norbert surfaces

More evidence has surfaced that the Government, under the leadership of Hon. Allen Chastanet, had written to the hospital in Martinique and committed to covering Jeremiah Norbert’s hospital bills in the french territory after his unfortunate accident. It is utterly shameful that Prime Minister Pierre and Minister Norbert would deliberately mislead the public in a desperate attempt to tarnish Hon.…
