Allan has the distinction of being the most divisive politician in 2010. having edged frederick for that position.
That's true, he suffers from foot and mouth
Did he say he did not care if lucians loose their jobs?
Yes he was the one who said that the SLP had operatives on the ground in SVG for the elections. which means they did the job Allan. Guess whats coming for him.
Sherona You need to STFU. I do not know where you are blogging from. But it seems you find great comfort in ravelling your flappers. You get me sick from my rectum up to my prostate. Get a life cause the one you have is unstable.
Here we go again! A political neophyte trying to sound mature.
Ms Idiot, the parliamentary system we inherited from John Compton's ego trip and miscalculation that the banana preference pricing was cast in stone and the promise of money to rehabilitate the VFort to Castries roadway, is basically adversarial. It is just like unions and employers.
Just to educate you just a little bit, nowhere in the Hansard of the House of Commons ever will you see any statement restricting the Leader of the Opposition from criticizing any minister that he or she chooses.
Again the is part of the orchestrated mis-communication and mass miseducation together with MISINFORMATION that the political harlots of the UWP are prepared to engage in during the next elections.
Mr. Chastenet's reputation and credibility is in the toilet. The Court of Appeals in the Tuxedo Affair case before the Appellate Court of the OECS has determined that Mr. Chastenet gave very unreliable testimony during that case.
Therefore, the evidence that others have for the improved tourist arrivals is more credible and that is besides the squandamania associated with the employment of his pal, Mr. Hepple. For all the money poured down the Hepple Blackhole, St. Lucia did not receive one credible recommendation or policy initiative that improved our tourism product.
The genius that you are trying to create in the minds of the feeble-minded, worked for several years in aviation for Air Jamaica, but could not present a viable proposal to the government of St. Vincent regarding air travel. His empty threat to Ralphie now have him as just another laughing stock for the wider Caribbean, his tail between his legs.
Let us count the number of other idiots in the Cabinet.
1. The PM of St. Lucia debased the prime minister's position by having a mere performer jump over his back in front of an international audience. Where else but in St. Lucia.
2. The all-teeth minister proposed country-bookie commonsense economics as a solution to our economic problems. He suggested taking an IMF loan, put it into an account, collect the interest and repay the IMF. That country-bookie never spared a thought about what the loan was being given to us for in the first place.
3. The tourism minister got the government to spend lots of money and firing a national with the employment of Mr. Cripple. No. No. Sorry. Mr. Hepple. Mr. Hepple then turned around feeling sorry about doing something similar to stealing candy from a baby, and fired his boss, Mr. Chastenet. He left both the job and Mr. Chastenet.
Your Mr. Chastenet is a political misfit. He does not look like the over 90% of us. He has never lived like anyone of the over 90% of us. He represents the merchant class. He was seen prominently with his benefactor, the Sandals man. Putting him in the parliament is just another way of putting the fox in charge of the chickens in a fowl cage.
Stop being a political harlot. We know that in the end there is or going to be lots of money in it for you.
The writer never told us how is Kenny discrediting Chastanet. We all know Chastanet do not need Kenny to discredit him, he is doing it to himself. He seem to be power hungry, i know it is the party with it group on the ground who chooses it candidates, but Chastanet choose himself. First he picked Gros Islet, he failed, then he went to South Castries, he was rejected, now he imposed himself on the people of Soufriere. He is minister of tourism for 4 years, has done nothing for Soufriere (The mega of tourism) in terms of tourism, but to fire the poor Soufriere tour guides. Now he is promising them "bread in basket" what ever that means. He paid a consultant a hugh tax free salary to do his work, whiles he fly all around the world on his joy rides. He even took his friend Juke Bois to England on one of these rides on our taxes. He took out the jazz from the poor people at Marchand. He waste our taxes on a fail venture like boxing in paradise. When he came in he did not support cruise tourism, now he want to take the praise for the increase in that sector, because more people choses to take cruises because it is cheaper for them, with the economic. He has gotten the biggest slice of the budget and even received a stimulus towards tourism, but still the sector has lost more jobs under his watch in St Lucia history. Thousands of our taxes dollars disappeared under his watch because he was to busy traveling instead of conducting a proper audit in his ministry. He lied in the Toxedo Villa court case. etc,etc How can Chastanet be an obstruction to Kenny when Kenny was PM for two terms, has won his seat for three terms, will win his seat again and also be the next PM again, anytime election is called? Chastanet do not know if he will EVER win a seat in St Lucia. I want the writer to itemized and tell us what has gotten better since Chastanet has been minister of tourism?
Party hacks like Sherona always try to discredit Kenny but not the child molester. King has no choice but to stay quiet because he is clueless.
As majority leader it's his job to let the public know what is happening. Kenny is a leader with vision, something which king lacks miserably. He better pack his belongings because we sending him where he promised to build his home in SVG. SOME OF US ARE SO BLIND!
Some are just political harlots.
Can someone tell me what is st lucia's tourism strategy? I knew what it was with the last admin because the Min used to communicate to st lucians. That's why hepple was brought in to continue the last admin strategy of airlift. Since then all we can account for is $190m or can we, for what.
It is not surprising to hear the victimhood race and class baiters who follow the destructive philosophy of the American liberals.
"He is not like 90% of us", "merchant class", "the Sandals man" the usual divisive liberal/progressive/socialist crap that has destroyed our developing countries.
They do all this race and class baiting in the USA and instead of African American improving they are still at the bottom of the economic pile waiting for the next handout from the Massa Democrats.
Not one of the writers above have created one job in St. Lucia but "the Sandals man " has as has Chastanet's father.
If you listen and adopt even one of the destructive approches and attitudes as noted above by the other bloggers we will end up being just another Haiti. As it is we are closer to Haiti than Miami due to the repressive, non selfsustaining socialist mindset of 90% of our people.
Continue attacking Chastanet and see how many jobs Government can create for you. What a bunch of clowns.
No you are one of the clowns. Guess you either where in Metropolitan Toronto, London, NYC or some of the other developed cities which does not want you and your so called "cheap expertise" casue these countries have enough of high calibred Human Resoures/manpower to continiue and master its development. since you are not one of the clowns that you have labeled the other bloggers on there based on your oppinion (its like an @$$hole everone has one) why dont you pack your bags and head down to render your manpower to the island since you are so concern. May be both you and Sherona are benefiting from the frudulent scam of the KING Administration. Dont get me started you Scumbag.
Articles such as the above cannot be written under the guise of an Editorial. This is blatant political gamemanship by the editor. Shame on you even Rick Wayne attempts some semblance of balance - shame on you.
It's not an editorial, its printed boldly at the top "Letters & Opinion" It's addressed to the editor. And yes Kenny fears Allen!!
The person who spoke about Chastanet creating jobs, must remember that it was the poor people who worked the hardest to grow bananas to sustain St Lucia economy for a very long time. They were the ones creating the jobs in St Lucia, whiles people like Chastanet reaped the benefits.
WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT THE POLICE DISMANTLE THE GROUP OF THUGS WHO CONSISTENTLY HANG OUT AROUND THE KFC WATERFRONT AREA....THESE GUYS PEDDLE DRUGS, SELL GUNS, ROB PEOPLE AND INSTIL FEAR IN COMMON PEOPLE....WE NEED TO DISMANTLE THOSE GUYS - NOW.
Chastanet creating jobs????Are you all for real???? What needs to be done is that whoever purported that view should have "secret" interviews with all of Super J's employees, all of Caribbean Metals employees, all of Mega J's employees, then you will hear about the REAL Chastanet Clan, then you will know how workers are treated like Sh.t, then you will understand the real exploitation and manipulation of the masses to advance the cause of a few, then you real understand the misnoma that is attached to your statement.
I agree. Chastanet family act like St.Lucia is their BIG PLANTATION...
Boy boy boy Chastanet has a HUGE surprise waiting for him in SOufriere
@ the blogger who mentioned Rick Wayne.
That newspaper is bias. Their main focus is Kenny AND HE IS NOT THE PRIME MINISTER.I CANNOT REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I READ AN ARTICLE ON GEORGE BUSH. BUT THE STAR HAS PRINTED TONS OF NEGATIVE ARTICLES ON KENNY BUT NEVER KING. CHASNET AND THE TUXEDO NEVER MADE HEADLINES ON THIS PARTICULAR PAPER. RICK WAYNE IS THE MOST BIAS IN ST LUCIA. KEEP PRAISING THESE SELF SERVING PEOPLE WHO DON'T CARE ABOUT ORDINARY PEOPLE LIKE ME AND MAYBE YOU. THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR POCKET!!!
The truth is that those who know, will tell you about the Chastenet clan and deep-seated snobbishness and ethnic bias and prejudice.
When Miss Chastenet walking from home alongside the square to work to the Planning Department, about two blocks away, was in charge, files with scholarships used to disappear, and then resurface only when someone of her complexion's child became eligible to benefit. If you were too dark, you stood little chance of getting any of the scholarships available, even if no Khaki-coloured person's child was old enough or had the GCEs to qualify.
For all their wealth, how many charitable or worthy causes did that mainly seafaring clan support in St. Lucia?
We all know of the exploitation of the consuming public when everywhere you turn Chastenet's monopoly supermarket outlets stared down at you with predatory take-it-or-leave it prices.
Now this man has the gall to even pretend that he can represent anybody other than special interest groups like his bosom buddy Butch Stewart?
Hey man, the slave masters created endless jobs? Do they, like Chastenet deserve national honours for doing this?
Give us a freaking break!!!
Both Kenny and Chastenet ( grand son's of slave masters) should pack themselves a side!!!
I am just sick of both of them!!!
Sherona or whatever you may call your name; you are still living in the dark ages!! Kenny do not have to worry about Allan because his trade marks are all over St. Lucia, namely, the most important one, SECONDARY SCHOOLS FOR ALL YOUR KIDS AND MINE AS WELL.
Allan Chastanet has not accomplished ANYTHING as a minister of tourism.
What he has, surely accomplished could be listed thus (prove me wrong, if I am):
a. upon assuming this un-elected position as Tourism Minister, he, SINGLEHANDEDLY, fired 9 or 11 hard working, poor hostesses from Soufriere, the same Soufriere he now forced himself upon. Shameless!!
b. gave his friend, Hepple, a tax exemption job, no less, at a salary of USD$ 150,000/yrly or EC$ 400,500. These fired hostess could have lived on that amount for the rest of their lives. What did Hepple accomplished; NADA, NOTHING, ZERO!
c. Allan Chastanet CANNOT AND WILL not associate with the likes of I or even you, for that matter. As a matter of fact, a simple creole/patois words "Bread in your Basket" he CANNOT SAY...what bread in Basket he is referring to; those breads from his stores that people cannot afford to purchase?
d. Allan Chastanet is a liar - he lied under oaths.
e. Allan Chastanet, before the introduction of this other supermarket at Rodney Bay, was charging customers with skyrocket high prices (highway robbery) for product he is now selling at the same price as those at the new supermarket. So all along, before the the introduction of this new supermaket, he was able to sell his products are that same price he is selling now - with a profit. Alan chastanet will not sell to you or I at a loss nor at break even point.
f. etc, etc...
Now, I await, with great anticipation, of your list of Chastanet's accomplishment!!
Businesses exist to make a profit. But price-gouging is immoral. We know that he can tell untruths even under oath. Did you see what his blood relative did in the Planning Unit?
These khaki-coloured people have no use for black people other than to exploit them. Let them go back to their plantations. They are no benefit to the majority of black faces in the population.
There are other bright dark-skinned people who are honest not to follow the crooks and the Ali Baba gang called the UWP. Even the John Compton, no saint, offspring is calling on St. Lucians to rally behind those crooks. She has no stars.
We got rid of the colonial masters. Let us not replace them with their grandchildren. Do we learn anything from our past?
Every time you see the Flambeau, it is a sign that St. Lucians have leemyear on their heads. Flambeau is not a light but a curse.
We have a curse of
A. lying politicians under oath.
B. tiefing politicians giving their friends in Cabinet perks, that the Appeals Court says was illegal
C. Dishonest politicians, real real crooks under-invoicing vehicle imports and when caught, they put the custom's officer out to pasture at a desk, creating a square peg in a round hole. Like them in parliament, he does not belong there!
D. Dishonest politicians without any scruples at all, taking their own patients private medical records and selling that for profit.
E. Dishonest politicians living a double life in the US, living under a bought false identity, until they gave him real jail time. That jailbird's prison number is all over the internet. Our dumb PM makes him Foreign Minister. Where else in the world could this happen?
F. Drug lords controlling the troops on and off the streets, countermanding the police in police raids, informing the drug gangs of the raids, paying one gang instead of another, causing bloodshed in our streets. The only person on the island who does not know who this person is? Your PM.
G. A Deputy Speaker of the House, running away from the scene of the crime. His case files mysteriously disappear before the case comes to trial.
H. A jackass minister who is always taking the crime situation to the next level. Square peg in a round hole. The only expertise that the man brings to the senate is knowledge about printing. We need expertise in export development. I wonder who recommended that jackass for a senate position.
I. A country-bookie minister whose country-bookie knowledge of economics makes him say that the best way to deal with IMF funds is to put it into an account, get interest on the money and give back the IMF its loan money back. Country-bookie commonsense.
The jennyass who wrote that article should know that Kenny is not running in Soufriere therefore Chastenet is no threat to Kenny. Despite his problems with using other people's money, Kenny has some positives to show. The Chastenet clan only has exploitation as the most evident contribution to society.
Slavery was a job condition. Would you praise that?
BREAKING NEWS!!!
Looks like the VOICE has it's own Marianna Williams.
Like me, it's time for you Sherona to give up on the UWP since the party died when the Father of the Nation passed. There is now nothing that the electorate can look forward to with the current group of incompetent egoistic maniacs!!!
Fantastic article. Thank you. Merry Christmas
Fantastic article. Well written and to the point. Merry Christmas
Self praise?
Kenny is nothing but a rodent. We need to flush him out. You call Chastnent a liar? How about Kenny? Some of the biggest lies ever said were said by Kenny. The 6 lane highway, claim he is fighting crime, finger printing, asking criminals to give the people a chance and then claim he did not say it. This faker must be flushed out.
Sherona, you may, one way or another, directly or indirectly benefitting from Chastanet. Alas, those poor fired hostesses by Chastanet do not have that luxuries you are enjoying from Chastanet.
Why don't you, Sherona, take a trip to Soufriere and asks those fired hostessest by Chastanet, for no apparent reasons, how are they faring? Especially now that it is christmas time!! I bet they have families; mouths to feed, children to clothed - I am not here talking about the luxuries that you are enjoying by having a diarrhea mouth. I am here talking about MERE survival.
ALLEN CHASTANET IS A FARCE. HIS FATHER WOULD NEVER TAKE HIS SO-CALLED BUSINESS DECISIONS ON BOARD IN HIS BUSINESS. AND HE KNOWS THAT AS WELL. THE MAN SPEAKS WITH THIS HOT POTATO IN HIS MOUTH, AND LACKS SERIOUS EXPERIENCE, AND NOT IMPRESSIVE OVERSEAS, WHERE HE IS SEEN FOR EXACTLY WHAT HE IS, A FARCE.
MORE THAN THAT, HE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CREDIBILITY. NO INTEGRITY. HE IS A DISGRACE TO SAINT LUCIANS. AND I AIN'T NO PLP, UWP, SLP, NO-P.
ALLEN CHASTANET'S MODE OF OPERATIONS, IN MY VIEW DEPICTS THE MASSA SYNDROME. JUST OBSERVE HIS COMMUNICATION STYLE, ALWAYS POMPOUS, TALKING DOWN, HIS FATHER IS NOT VERY LITERATE, BUT WRITES IN THE LEADING NEWSPAPERS IN SAINT LUCIA. ALLEN PRETENDS TO KNOW EVERYTHING, BUT CAN DO NOTHING. EVER TOURISM PROJECT HE BROUGHT FORWARD SINCE HIS TENURE IN OFFICE WAS A DISASTER, NOTORIOUSLY THE SO-CALLED MR. HEPPLE ASSIGNMENT IN TOURISM. HE HAS LOUIS LEWIS, POOR FELLA SINGING FOR HIS SUPPER, AND PLACING LOADS OF FUNDS IN A MEDIA HOUSE TO KEEP FANNING HIS EGO. SAINT LUCIA HAS ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN OFF.
Chastenet? But that man en running in Vieux Fort. How can he ever affect Kenny. Only stupid people would believe such a ridiculous story. But I forgot. Jukebois is there to repeat such idiotic statements for country-bookie listeners. They en know any better. Jukebois like dem booshay!
I would pay any sum to see Kenny go down in smoke. I hope that T-Chas is able to use his war chest to make that happen. Kenny is as much a danger to the country as Frederick etc. Any man that harbours malice and hatred is feet enough to walk and dine with Lucifer.
@anonymous above...and Allan Chastanet is not a danger to the island, right! What do you call price gouging to the masses that CANNOT afford HIS stores' products? IT IS CALLED STEALING, HIGHWAY ROBBERY, plain and simple.
Already, Chastanet controls the food chain or food industry in St Lucia (that even is a danger to national stability). Go ahead, give your Chastanet a blank check to be Prime Minister of St Lucia, then, Mr/Ms. anonymous you will use your vuvuzela differently!!
Like you forgot who handed the country to Chasnet? Like you forgot who gave Chasnet right to hold a diplomatic passport to negoiate on behalf of St Lucia. Like you forgot who sold the country to Chasnet and Butch Stewart. I don't think your memory is short. I believe you are just busy looking for a fall guy. That fall guy is your own dishonest Kenny Anthony.
I fully agree 100 percent with the above. It's like the crime situation. All of a sudden it's like the SLP did not have a hand in where we are today. Hypocrites!
This is why partisan politics turns me off. All these lies and false justificaiton. It's about screwing St Lucia for the sake of partisan profit. When things were nice between Allan's father and Dr. Anthony not a murmur. When Philip Pierre in his capcity as Mr. of Tourism was dinning with these men everythign was alright.
Now their bonbon burn they want the rest of St Lucia to take sides.
No way, non paray.
LOL. This is so true. New year knew rule. To hell with the recycled dividers !!!
I voting LPM. New people. Down with recycled jackass ministers!
During the reign of the SLP regime over 350 St. Lucians were murdered. We forget how Kenny threw up his hand in dispair and asked Menissa Rambally ( another coward who disapeared after Guy Joseph cleaned her clock)what to do to solve the crime situation.
Well guess what ?
The SLP cannot do anything about crime because they have never ever been taught how to run a country or what to prioritize in governing. All they were interested in were jobs for the boys.
Just as they wasted over $150 million on agriculture without helping any farmers.
Just as Menissa was the Minister overseeing the $40 million wasted at the NCA.
Just as our young men were more and more marginalized and broken down under the SLP with their madcow sociologist as a mninister.
Just as they lost $110 million on Rochamel then past legislation in the dark of night just before Christmas to mamaguy the people. I blame the UWP for paying all that money for the incompetent inquiry that was a farce.
Just as the economy went up, down, up, down ,down down under Massa Kenny
Just as $800 million was wasted over 9 years.
Just as thousands of Lucians had to leave for other countries (many illigally) to get away from Kenny, Mario. Phillip, Tom, etc.
What happened to the work permit board and why did the SLP allow so many foreigners to get jobs in St. Lucia without training St. Lucians.
What happened to the tens of millions given by the EU to St. Lucia to help the economy at the time ?
It goes on and on and this is who you want to bring back to run the country ?
It's eh gonna happen. Don't worry. For one, SLP alone cannot win an election with Kenny as their boss. For two, LPM have began to kick their arse over the crime situation. A few days ago I could not help but smile at what I was hearing coming from SLP's partners in opposition. Look like it gonna be a long night for the SLP if LPM continue to knock them down like that. An opposition house divided cannot stand. Who will reap the spoils is anyones guess. LOL
"you would pay any sum to see Kenny go down in smoke"? I have a better suggestion, why dont you sodomize your self instead i would thing thats fair enough. That should give you more conviction as a KING AND THE FORTY THIEVES SUPPORTER.
None in government today can boast of real knowledge of how a modern-day economy works. How to bring honest, efficient and effective government from garbage pile where UWP has put us. Kenny thinks that economics is about the law. King believes it is all about bluffing his way.
Look at the difference. The LPM is gaining momentum. Look at their website. Clear. Thoughtful. Engaging. Insightful. Far-reaching. Deep thinking. And VISIONARY!
Give us new people. New thinking. New ideas. A new party. Honest individuals. Let us turn this country around Give us the LPM.
Let LMP be the lamp to our feet!
Let us be honest about the SLP as the alternative government to the present one in power.
If you look at each area of concern to us St. Lucians you have to question the validity of the capacity of the SLP leadership to do anything sensible with our future.
Agriculture - look at their track record. All crop production fell under Labour (not just bananas). Grade: F -
Law and Order - corrupt police force, incompetent destructive Ministers ( Petrus, Calixte), increased murders, increased levels of all levels of crime. Grade: F-
Debt - increased by over $1 billion. Grade: F--
Social order - increased child pregnancies, delinquancy, sex in schools, weapons in schools, Grade: F-
Sports- Football became a joke, millions spent on a cricket pitch used once every 6 months, other sports in limbo. F-
Economy- up then down, up then down, no sensible policy initiatives. Ministers of Tourism - one did not have a clue the other was afraid of tourists. The Lagan 10s of millions, the Rochamel hundred million, the NCA 10s of millions -all lost in a bottomless pit. Grade: F --
Attitude- arrogant, self centered, incapable of seeing their incompetence, against all but SLP supporters. Remember when all the tourist hostesses in Soufriere were only SLP supporters. Victimization Grade: F ---
Even writing this I am apalled at how bad it really was and I am just scratching the surface.
somebody just got killed in Conway...say its kenny and pierre fault now
another killing; another muder? murder capital of the caribbean: st lucia - under the directions and leadership of the king's administration. i await!!
It was under Kenny St Lucia first experienced these kinds of frequent and violent murders. Any argument against that is pure bias. It's true King have not faired any better but any attempt to absolve Kenny for mismanaging crime in St Lucia is nothing but hack talk!!!
Recycled politicians like Kenny and PIP have had their day. Move on....
But wait a minute! Didn't the UWP clearly state in their manifesto that they would reduce crime by 50 percent. Am I dreaming?
And wait a minute! Isn't the number of people murdered nearly 50?
Oh my! Stupid me!I misunderstood. They clearly meant to achieve a target of 50.
That is why Guy Mayers from La La Land keeps talking about taking it to the next level. Yes man. The UWP has not got to their grim target as yet.
3 more murders more than Kenny's record does not justify why Kenny should be given another try to see if he can keep it under 50.
What we need in St Lucia is a new approach to fighting crime. We don't need more false hope coming from Kenny Anthony.
I would like to think that the blooger above made the valid point that "we do not need more false hope coming from Kenny" which is precisely what another SLP regime will bring to this country. FALSE HOPE !
The trouble is that we have to ask the question if the people who vote for Kenny care less about where this recycled failure will bring Fair Helen. Chances are that the majority who vote for Kenny will do so to get their pound of flesh and are little concerned with the general well being of the country.
We can talk forever about Kenny's utter failure as a political leader but this clearly falls on the deaf ears of about 35% of our people who will vote Labour irrespective of the consequences.
I cannot see this SLP regimes being able to do anything about crime, unemployment, societal breakdown, corruption , law and order or anything of consequence to the quality of life of St. Lucians.
The political and academic class of the Caribbean have led us down the proverbial garden path since independence and appear to have no solutions to our problems - corruption in Trinidad, stagnation in Guyana, death and drugs in Jamaica. Even the more stable Barbados is slowly unravelling as they lose their descipline that has made them one of the more advance black countries in the world. Kenny Anthony is one of those perfect examples of this academic and political class that has failed us yet his supporters look to him as the next PM of St. Lucia.
CARICOM Airways grounded
CASTRIES, St Lucia, Thursday December 30, 2010 – The Eastern Caribbean Civil Aviation Authority (ECCAA) has stopped the St Lucia-registered CARICOM Airways from flying in the Eastern Caribbean until it gets legal.
The ECCAA has informed the operators that the airline is operating illegally as it does not have the necessary Airline Operation Convention (AOC).
“The ECCAA therefore instructs CARICOM Airways to immediately discontinue its operations until such time that it has been issued with the appropriate AOC by the ECCAA,” the Authority’s Acting Director General Donald McPhail wrote to the airline’s Chief Executive Officer Rory Chin-A-Kwie.
The ECCAA correspondence confirmed what St Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves had been telling St Lucia’s Tourism and Aviation Minister Allen Chastanet for weeks.
Gonsalves had insisted that the airlines was in breach of ECCAA operating procedure when Chastanet threatened, last month, to stop Vincentian airlines SVG Air and Mustique Airways from operating in St Lucia, unless approval was given to CARICOM Airways’ application to fly to St Vincent and the Grenadines.
He insisted that the airline was operating under the AOC from Suriname which, under CARICOM Convention, allows member countries to accept each other’s AOC.
But in the letter to Chin-A-Kwie, the ECCAA noted that even though CARICOM Airways has an AOC from the Civil Aviation Authority in Suriname, its principal place of business is St Lucia and “as such, and by virtue of the Civil Aviation Regulations of St. Lucia, CARICOM Airways must apply for and obtain an AOC issued by the ECCAA before commencing commercial air transport operations”.
It added that Chastanet’s application to have CARICOM Airways operate as a foreign operator could therefore not be granted.
--------
How about that Allan???? You lies have been proven..........
Allan did you refuse to comment on the grounding of CA? Ralph did chew you up boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Allan you don't f$$$ with Ralph.
So some Lucians are so happy for a third party to say another Lucian is proven wrong about some topic !
This is typical of the maypuis, roro people who make up a portion of our population.No loyalty to ourselves, our neighbours or our nation.
If Chastanet was wrong - fine. We should tell him to be more careful in the future about where he puts his foot, but the gloating and negative backbiting. No wonder we continually decline as a people.
This shows how deep is the malaise destroying us and is linked so much to our role in a liberal western culture where we see ourselves as victims only beholded to our more craven instincts.
We want $150 Nike shoes, party every weekend, not get married but have children yet we want to do all of this for free and without any effort. All of this is part of our disloyalty and lack of Judeao Christian principles in our society.
What a deep hole we are in which we may never get out of.
You can be guaranteed that the SLP will shortly come out with a press release gloating just as they gloat about every murder that spills blood in our gutters.
If we can tolerate nonesense from the UWP and SLP for all these years---I see nothing wrong with a third party in slu.
Comrade Ralph shoed Allen his voting finger!!
Just a start of things to come, Also, Come on Rudolph the AG,,,your view point in todays news on the matters is false logic and lacks legal analysis.
I should have expect this for you,,,just another of the yellow rotten bunch....boom!!
Which third party? The joker!!!!!!
Don't you expect one to comment on chastnet style. He happens to have all the answers but yet no results. It took allan 3 1/2 years to acknowledge that he found a foundation at the Min of tourism to work with. Prior to that statement all he did was to attack the prevoius minister rather than sell his vision to the nation. You ask anyone of your friends what is he trying to achieve with Car Airways and you will understand his problem.

Red belongs to the Devil.
Yes i agree with you 100%, at least any blind man can leave overseas go to St Lucia and point out many positive achievements of the devil all around the island. Your saints now in office, let us look at there achievements. (1). 3 ministers have been arrested by police, this is the first in St Lucia history. (2). One minister was convicting in court for stealing from government. (3). One minister sued his own government. (4). A Minister took the donated Tomas relief aid to his homes, to fool people and try to show them, the relief was from him (5). One minister is a convicted felon. (6). We have had 4 budgets coated with all kinds of promises, NOTHING has ever came out of these budgets. (6) The government is paying useless rent for KING and TUCKER, which is wasteful. I could go on and on. This angelic government is just wasting our TIME and MONEY, they are only enriching themselves because most, if not all of them are not qualified to hold any other job, this including the so called PM
