Kenson Casimir Wealth Controversy: The Math Doesn’t Add Up

Public concern grows over missing disclosures in Casimir wealth case

CASTRIES, St Lucia (April 14, 2025) — The Kenson Casimir wealth controversy continues to dominate public discourse in Saint Lucia, as the Minister for Youth Development and Sports faces intensifying scrutiny over his unexplained accumulation of assets since taking office in 2021. His latest appearance on the government-produced Meet the Minister program has reignited the debate, with critics accusing him of sidestepping accountability and delivering emotional appeals instead of offering concrete financial disclosures

The controversy stems from Casimir’s rapid financial rise. Before taking public office, Casimir held a junior role as a Youth and Sports Officer and earned additional income from reading the sports segment on HTS for 30 minutes daily. He also operated a now-defunct website with limited visibility. Despite this modest background, Casimir’s current assets reportedly include:

  • A personal villa in Union now expanded with four apartments
  • Prime land acquisitions near Cap Estate and Pigeon Point
  • A private 10-home housing development project
  • A brand-new 4×4 twin cab pickup valued at over EC$250,000

Wealth Accumulation Raises Eyebrows

Questions abound: how does a former junior civil servant and part-time media personality amass such a portfolio in under four years? Many Saint Lucians who earn significantly more over decades of work still struggle to acquire a fraction of these assets. Property acquisitions of this scale typically require a clear financial trail and proper disclosure—particularly from elected officials who are obligated to uphold transparency in public service. The absence of such disclosures has naturally prompted critical public interest and speculation.

Further scrutiny reveals a broader financial context. As previously reported by Unitedpac St Lucia News, Saint Lucia government spending under the current administration has lacked transparency across several major projects, fueling speculation about misallocated public funds.

As Minister for Youth Development and Sports, Casimir has overseen several high-budget infrastructure projects, including the EC$80 million redevelopment of the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground—a project that has drawn intense public scrutiny over how the construction contract was awarded. Casimir later denied knowing the relative who reportedly received the contract, when questioned by a reporter—a claim that only deepened public mistrust.

Transparency questions deepen Kenson Casimir wealth controversy

Perhaps most alarming is that Casimir has not submitted his legally required asset declarations to the Saint Lucia Integrity Commission since assuming office. This omission breaches the standards of good governance and raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest or misuse of public office.

Rather than address this glaring lapse, Casimir pivoted to what critics are calling a diversionary tactic—racial grievance. “If I was a white boy with different kind of hair…” he said during the broadcast, implying that his critics are motivated by bias rather than legitimate concern. However, the public backlash suggests otherwise.

Watch: Kenson Casimir defends his wealth on “Meet the Minister” as questions mount over undeclared assets and property acquisitions.

Public reaction on social platforms has been swift and pointed, with many users emphasizing that the controversy has little to do with race and everything to do with governance. The recurring sentiment underscores concerns about integrity, transparency, and the need for public officials to account for how such rapid wealth accumulation is possible while serving in office.

Additional reports on the deterioration of the Gros Islet playing field and park infrastructure—despite large budgets being allocated under Casimir’s ministry—have added to suspicions that fiscal mismanagement may be enabling unchecked personal gain.

Public Demands Answers, Not Performances

While Casimir remains shielded by the format of Meet the Minister—a platform lacking rigorous journalism or independent questioning—the people of Saint Lucia are demanding real answers. The minister’s rhetorical question, “If I stay in office for 25 years, am I not expected to buy property?” has only exacerbated public frustration.

Citizens are not opposed to public servants achieving financial security, but they expect transparency, especially when the rate of accumulation appears disproportionate to one’s declared earnings. Casimir’s inability or unwillingness to clarify the sources of his wealth has only deepened the cloud of suspicion.

A detailed breakdown of his rapid wealth accumulation timeline published earlier by Unitedpac outlines the speed and scale of his financial ascent—an ascent that remains largely unexplained.

Calls Grow for Declaration to the Integrity Commission

The call is simple and unwavering: submit the required declarations to the Saint Lucia Integrity Commission. Until then, every new real estate project, every high-end purchase, and every emotional televised speech will be viewed through a lens of skepticism.

Saint Lucians are not interested in excuses—they want documentation. They are not swayed by emotional appeals—they demand accountability. Until Kenson Casimir delivers full disclosure, the math will never add up.
