Since the Prime Minister has remained silent on the Richard Frederick issue and Richard Frederick has seen it fit to blame everyone but himself, St Lucians should take matters into their own hands.

I would like to encourage St Lucians to contact Transparency International to make sure we can assist them in carrying out their surveys in this country so that we can be included on The Corruption Perception Index for
the year 2011.

I wonder how the Business Community will feel about that ….

In the meantime, St. Lucians should start reading the information on the following website:

http://www.transparency.org

Corruption Perceptions Index 2009

 The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) table shows a country's ranking and score, the number of surveys used to determine the score, and the confidence range of the scoring.

 The rank shows how one country compares to others included in the index. The CPI score indicates the perceived level of public-sector corruption in a country/territory.

 The CPI is based on 13 independent surveys. However, not all surveys include all countries. The surveys used column indicates how many surveys were relied upon to determine the score for that country.

 The confidence range indicates the reliability of the CPI scores and tells us that allowing for a margin of error; we can be 90% confident that the true score for this country lies within this range.

Rank: 22
Country/Territory: St. Lucia
CPI 2009 Score: 7.0
Surveys Used: 3
Confidence Ran ge: 6.7-7.5

The 2010 CPI covers two countries fewer than last year’s edition. The slight change resulted from individual sources adjusting the range of countries they assess. These adjustments in coverage made it possible to include Kosovo for the first time, but led to the exclusion of Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Suriname, for which only two sources of information were available this year.
