CASTRIES, St Lucia — A motion of no confidence in Saint Lucia’s prime minister and minister of finance, Allen Chastanet, brought by leader of the parliamentary opposition and leader of the Saint Lucia Labour Party (SLP), Philip J Pierre, has been placed on the order paper for debate on Tuesday.
Emphasizing the many obstacles, Pierre stated that one should not be surprised if there are continuous efforts to frustrate the process by the prime minister.
“I am calling on all Saint Lucians to listen attentively to the arguments and urge their parliamentary representatives to vote in favour of the motion,” he said.
“Since we submitted the motion of no confidence in Prime Minister Allen Chastanet to the Clerk of Parliament in November last year, the prime minister and his public relations people have been thrown into a tail spin.
