My Fellow St. Lucians:

It is interesting to observe that Dr. Kenny Anthony is still being used as a scapegoat for all the woes that plague the current Government of St. Lucia. If my memory serves me correctly, St. Lucians voted for the Stephenson King Administration in 2006 because they thought that the SLP administration mismanaged tax payer’s money. Okay,….almost five years later why are we discussing these same old issues? St. Lucians spoke loudly and clearly in 2006 when they voted the SLP Administration out of office.

Are we afraid to speak the truth about the current failed Stephenson King Administration? Are we too embarrassed as a nation to discuss openly and honestly the ineptitude of this current administration? Could it be that our pride is preventing us from admitting that we failed as a people, as a nation when we selected the UWP administration over the SLP Administration? Let me state emphatically …..WE FAILED AS A PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE AND NATION when we elected the Stephenson King Government. We failed our children and grandchildren when we voted this corrupt administration into office.

Please let us not get carried away and fool ourselves… this election is not about Dr. Kenny Anthony. This is about voting a corrupt government out of office. We need to send a strong message to this current administration and all future administrations in this country:

As law abiding citizens, we have ZERO tolerance for corruption and lawlessness among those who serve us.


For love of country we need to be brave and do the right thing….we need to do what is in the BEST INTEREST OF OUR COUNTRY and future generations. We need to vote this government out of office. Yes, I said it, the UWP has failed to provide us with effective representation and good governance therefore must be VOTED OUT OF OFFICE!

Finally, for those who continue to speak tirelessly about Dr. Kenny Anthony, please spare us……tell us something new and stop sounding like a broken record.

There is something called Double jeopardy:

Double jeopardy is a procedural defense that forbids a defendant from being tried again on the same, or similar charges following a legitimate acquittal or conviction.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The time has come to give these false issues the burial they deserve. The time has come to rally around Dr. Kenny Anthony and recognize him for what he is:

The one person best equipped to lead the St. Lucia Labour Party back into Power

Not for Party but Country
We are currently in the throes of what many consider one of the most hotly contested elections in St. Lucia in recent times. The future of our country will be determined to a great extent by the decision we make at the up coming polls. The issues which should be demanding the nation's attention like crime, unemployment, education, infrastructural development, debt servicing, ethics and morality in public life, and socioeconomic policy have been given short shrift while we focus on peripheral issues of personalities, the picong, mapwi, and movais lang.

While attendance at political blockos seem huge, public discontent with both political parties is seemingly at an all time high and the level of apathy among the voters has reached epidemic proportions enough to seriously undermine voter participation in what is arguably the most important decision that will impact our future and that of generations to come.

To those who are considering the option of staying home on election day, and not exercising the franchise that was fought for by our forefathers with blood, sweat, and tears, I say let us not dishonor the legacy of these men and women with such an irresponsible approach. Go vote for the party you like, or for the individual that inspires you the most or makes the most cogent argument, or a credible independent candidate. Vote and bring to parliament the group of men and women that you think will give our country the best chance to weather the current geopolitical and economic climate and position our country for an economic turn around.

To do otherwise, would be to turn your backs on your country when it needs you the most. I say let's rock the vote. Your country needs you. If you are of voting age in St. Lucia you would have by now become familiar with the great admonition of President J F Kennedy "Ask NOT what your country can do for you, but what you can do for for your country". Here's your chance to do something for your country. Embrace it. Vote - Staying on the sidelines is not an option.
