Governance and Accountability in Focus: Key Issues Raised in a Critical Open Letter to Richard Frederick

Castries, St Lucia – Last Thursday, while tuning into MBC, I was met with yet another display of misinformation from your end, Richard Frederick. Your penchant for distorting facts appears as persistent as ever, harking back to the narratives you peddled during the 2021 elections.

Once again, your tirades against Allen Chastanet took center stage, predictable and monotonous, yet somehow even more audacious this time. What struck me most was your bold, albeit flawed, attempt to draw comparisons between your achievements and those of Allen Chastanet. Let’s cut through the noise and set the record straight.

Your much-touted accomplishments, Richard Frederick, such as the construction of poorly executed housing projects like the ones in Dennery, fall woefully short when held up against the transformative strides achieved by Allen Chastanet.

Under his leadership, Saint Lucia witnessed meaningful development projects that resonated far beyond rhetoric. Have you conveniently overlooked the infrastructural advancements championed by Chastanet? Long before running for the Soufriere seat, he spearheaded the replacement of the aging Soufriere bridge with a state-of-the-art structure—a project that not only enhanced connectivity but symbolized a forward-thinking vision for the island’s infrastructure.

These tangible outcomes starkly contrast your own record of superficial progress. During his tenure as Prime Minister, Allen Chastanet turned Soufriere into a beacon of modernity and tourism. The Hummingbird Beach facility, featuring several restaurants and shops, has become a cornerstone of the local economy, attracting the majority of tourists visiting Soufriere.

The modern market and bus terminal, designed with exquisite French architecture, have garnered admiration from locals and visitors alike.

Richard Frederick’s questionable governance and lackluster accomplishments pale in comparison to the transformative projects spearheaded by Allen Chastanet. Saint Lucians deserve leaders who prioritize progress over propaganda.

The Soufriere Square, another hallmark of Chastanet’s administration, has been praised by thousands for its beauty and utility. The stadium and grounds in Soufriere, a masterpiece in their own right, played a pivotal role in hosting the recent Independence celebrations. This showcases Chastanet’s commitment to creating spaces that serve the community.

Moreover, Allen Chastanet’s legacy includes the establishment of a state-of-the-art hospital in the south, which promises to be a cornerstone of St. Lucia’s healthcare system for years to come. The construction of a world-class airport terminal and tower, along with a top-tier horse racing track built to international standards, are further testaments to his forward-thinking approach.

Plans for a cruise ship terminal in the south are set to transform that region, fostering economic growth and development. One cannot overlook the completion of the Cabot Golf Course, now rated among the top 100 courses worldwide, a significant boost to St. Lucia’s tourism appeal.

The transformation of the Orange Grove Plaza from a derelict structure to a vibrant, functional space housing government offices at an economical rate is another feather in Chastanet’s cap. The establishment of a top-class court facility for the Eastern Caribbean Court of Justice, set to be occupied soon, further underscores his commitment to improving public infrastructure.

The upcoming 10-story hotel at Point Seraphine, poised to elevate the complex to new heights, epitomizes the world-class investments Chastanet has attracted to St. Lucia. In stark contrast, Richard Frederick, your Ministry’s construction of substandard houses fails to meet the aspirations of the St. Lucian people.

Your propaganda is transparent, and the public sees through it. Your record, marred by the sale of state assets at giveaway prices and the exorbitant expenditure on a property in Castries, speaks volumes about your priorities.

It is time for introspection, Richard Frederick. Your contributions, or lack thereof, have done little to advance the interests of St. Lucia. The people deserve leaders who are genuinely committed to progress, not those who peddle falsehoods and mediocrity.

The contrast between your tenure and that of Allen Chastanet is stark and undeniable. The sooner you acknowledge this, the better for our nation.

In the final analysis, your tenure has been marked by substandard achievements and questionable decisions. Allen Chastanet’s legacy, on the other hand, is one of progress and modernization, leaving an indelible mark on St. Lucia’s landscape.

It is high time you reflect on your actions and understand why the people of St. Lucia deserve better.
