Saint Lucia government corruption exposed as NEMO hired convicted criminal Miguel Fevrier, sparking public outrage.
The National Emergency Management Organization (NEMO) has made headlines after appointing Miguel Fevrier, a man with a criminal past and an ongoing defamation case, to lead its public relations and communications efforts. This decision has left many Saint Lucians questioning the ethics and integrity of the government, reigniting concerns about widespread Saint Lucia government corruption. The public outcry highlights the ongoing lack of accountability within governmental institutions and law enforcement agencies.

of 07A Troubled Past: Miguel Fevrier’s Criminal Record
Miguel Fevrier’s history is anything but clean. He was convicted of theft while working at the Bank of Saint Lucia (BOSL), a serious crime that most believe should have barred him from any further public appointments. However, the Saint Lucia government chose to overlook his criminal record and appointed him to the Ministry of Infrastructure—a move that left many questioning the vetting process for government roles.
This controversial appointment was not the end of Fevrier’s involvement in illicit activities. While at the Ministry of Infrastructure, Fevrier was embroiled in another scandal, this time for selling driver’s licenses under the table. His actions not only defrauded the system but also placed countless Saint Lucians at risk by allowing unqualified individuals to obtain legal driver’s licenses. Such actions created unsafe conditions on the nation’s roads, further damaging the public’s trust in government oversight.

The fact that Fevrier was able to operate this illegal scam while employed by the government raises serious concerns about the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force (RSLPF). Despite the illegal nature of Fevrier’s activities, the RSLPF has remained silent on the matter. Many citizens are beginning to suspect that the police force is complicit in this growing wave of government corruption by failing to hold Fevrier and other implicated individuals accountable.
Public confidence in the RSLPF has been eroded by their reluctance to investigate government officials involved in corruption, especially when these individuals seem to benefit from political connections. The refusal of the police force to address the scandal has raised questions about their independence and whether the institution is truly committed to protecting the public.

In addition to his criminal activities, Miguel Fevrier is entangled in an unresolved legal battle with former Infrastructure Minister Guy Joseph. Fevrier and MBC TV were sued for defamation after making false statements about Joseph. The court ruled in favor of Joseph, awarding him damages, but it remains unclear whether Fevrier has paid these damages.
This unresolved legal matter has only further stoked the flames of public outrage. Many are demanding to know why Fevrier has yet to settle his legal debts and questioning whether the government is once again protecting him from legal consequences.

of 07NEMO’s Questionable Hiring Decision
Despite these glaring red flags, NEMO has hired Fevrier to handle their public relations and communications. NEMO, an organization tasked with managing national emergencies, has come under fire for this hiring decision. Many citizens are asking how an individual with such a troubling past and unresolved legal issues can be trusted to oversee communications for an organization responsible for the safety of the nation.
Critics argue that Fevrier’s appointment is just another symptom of the wider problem of Saint Lucia government corruption. The fact that someone with such a checkered history could continue to secure government appointments reflects a lack of accountability in public institutions. It also calls into question the government’s commitment to transparency and ethical governance.

Miguel Fevrier’s case is not an isolated incident. It highlights a broader issue of corruption within the Saint Lucia government, where individuals with criminal pasts or ongoing legal troubles continue to hold positions of power. This culture of impunity has damaged the country’s international reputation and has left citizens questioning whether their government is truly acting in their best interests.
The perception of a corrupt government is further amplified by the silence of law enforcement agencies like the RSLPF, which appear to be reluctant to investigate or prosecute individuals with political connections. This growing perception of complicity within both the police force and the government is fueling public distrust.

of 07RSLPF Complicity in Criminality
The refusal of the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force to investigate or take action against Miguel Fevrier is viewed by many as complicity in the face of government corruption. Citizens have expressed outrage over the lack of accountability, with many asking if the police force is simply turning a blind eye to the corruption taking place within government institutions.
As corruption scandals continue to emerge, there is growing concern that the RSLPF is failing in its duty to protect the citizens of Saint Lucia and to uphold the law. The silence from law enforcement has left many Saint Lucians feeling that justice is out of reach for ordinary citizens while those in power escape unscathed.

The hiring of Miguel Fevrier by NEMO is yet another example of the unchecked corruption within the Saint Lucia government. The failure of law enforcement and government institutions to hold Fevrier accountable for his criminal actions and unpaid legal debts reflects a disturbing pattern of impunity.
