Richard Frederick Corruption Scandal: Fraud Allegations Engulf Housing Ministry

Richard Frederick, the embattled Minister of Housing and Local Government, is once again in the spotlight, this time amid allegations that his department has become a breeding ground for corruption. Sources claim that Frederick has effectively transformed his ministry into a mirror of the controversial Citizenship by Investment Program (CIP) scandal that continues to plague St. Lucia.

These claims have shaken the already fragile trust in government institutions, prompting calls for accountability and further investigations. But the accusations don’t stop with Richard Frederick alone—his close ally, Dr. Cadelia Ambrose, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Housing, has also been named in connection with fraudulent activities involving fake contractors and questionable home renovations.

The Scandal Unfolds

It is alleged that Dr. Cadelia Ambrose, described by insiders as a “corruption facilitator,” has been utilizing government funds to extend her private residence. This misuse of public money reportedly funneled through fake contractors, has drawn significant ire from both within and outside the Ministry. The contractors involved are believed to be tied to Richard Frederick’s inner circle, a group described by some as the “RF cult.”

What makes these accusations even more egregious is that contracts for these questionable works have allegedly been carefully drafted to stay below the $100,000 threshold. This is no accident—by keeping contract values under this limit, Dr. Cadelia Ambrose has managed to avoid the scrutiny of the Procurement Committee, Budget Unit, and Treasury. Instead, the funds are quietly siphoned off under the guise of legitimate public works.

Fake Contracts, Real Consequences

The core of this scandal revolves around fraudulent contracts that were supposedly issued for cemetery expansion projects. However, these funds were allegedly redirected to facilitate renovations on Dr. Cadelia Ambrose’s home in Morne. Checks were issued from the Government Treasury under false pretenses, allowing the misuse of taxpayer money to fly under the radar—until now.

One Saint Lucia government insider, who has chosen to remain anonymous for fear of retribution, claimed that “these contractors are not real—they’re just names on paper to make it all look legitimate.” The same source added, “It’s all orchestrated to keep the real purpose of the funds hidden.”

Resistance from Within

While Frederick’s supporters remain largely silent, cracks are beginning to show in the facade of his once tightly controlled circle. An anonymous whistleblower, described as Frederick’s “left-hand,” has reportedly distanced themselves from the Minister and is cooperating with those who seek to bring the scandal to light.

Richard Frederick has managed to transform his Department of Housing and Local Government into his own version of a local CIP scandal.

This whistleblower has gone so far as to bring the matter to the attention of Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre. Sources say that the Prime Minister is now aware of a series of damning tapes, recordings, and confessions, all pointing to a deeply ingrained culture of corruption within the Ministry of Housing. Whether the Prime Minister will take decisive action remains to be seen, but the insider has promised to make the taped confessions available to us at a later date.

Calls for Accountability

Public outrage is mounting as more details of the scandal emerge. Calls for Richard Frederick’s resignation are growing louder, with citizens demanding that both Frederick and Dr. Cadelia Ambrose be held accountable for what is shaping up to be one of the biggest corruption scandals in St. Lucia in recent years. Civil society groups have also expressed their dismay, urging the government to take swift action to restore public confidence.

Political commentators are drawing parallels between this scandal and the CIP controversy, suggesting that Frederick’s legacy may forever be tainted by his association with fraud and corruption.

Final Thoughts

As St. Lucians grapple with yet another government scandal, the pressure is on for Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre to take decisive action. With the insider promising to release taped confessions in the near future, the nation holds its breath, awaiting the next move in this unfolding drama.
