Safe St. Lucia?

You idiots out there in St. Lucia, fooling yourselevs with such statements as"We look to our new and improved Police Force to take us off that list".

First of all, why don't you look to the persons you chose to govern and manage your country?

This is precisely what's wrong with St. Lucia. Many of you who may be capable of changing things for the better are contended to sing at political tables for some pissy job, nomination on some board or another, some form of fiscal concession, tax exemption and exemption of customs duties, etc.

You were not honest firstly with yourself to acknowledge that the daring wrong-doing and criminality by members of your Government are in large part responsible for the exponential growth in violence and crime. The average St. Lucian is merely mimicking the folks in the halls of Government.

Two parliamentarians from the government's side outrightly insulted police officers, when they were being cautioned on their illegal actions. Anyone else doing the same thing would have been arrested etc.

Then evasion of taxes by two others.

Then the inclusion of a former Civil Servant found in a Commission Of Inquiry to be described as not being fit to hold public office, being placed in the Government as a Minister of Economic Affairs, and the Prime Minister, Stephenson King, dragged the country to the brink, trying to keep such a character in government, even after he was being linked to an internationally identified fraudster and moneylaunderer.

Then the revelations of a sitting Minister, later identified as having been incarcerated in a United States Jail. And the list goes on.

The average St. Lucian who sees no light at the end of the tunnel, whilst others roll in money derived from legal and/or illegal means, silently revolts, in whatever way they choose, which is generally reflected in crimes against society, such as the recent murder at the constituency office of Mr. Stephenson King, the Prime Minister of St. Lucia, in broad daylight, without any attempt to conceal his (the perpetrator's) face, and prompting the Prime Minister to tell the world via the internet, that "no one is safe in St. Lucia". As a serious journalist you ought to deal at the national level with these and the other telling issues.
