Scathing Mon Cheri commentary slams SLP government’s handling of crime and health

Editor’s note: This article reflects the views and opinions of the writer, Mon Cherie. It does not necessarily represent the position of Unitedpac St Lucia News, which maintains editorial independence in its reporting.

CASTRIES, St Lucia — The Saint Lucia Labour Party government is facing renewed criticism as a fiery commentary from concerned citizen Mon Cherie accused Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre and his administration of lacking the leadership and vision needed to guide the country through escalating crises.

The remarks, published as a public statement, lambasted the government for presiding over surging violent crime, neglecting the education system, and underfunding health care while prioritizing distractions that do little to advance national development.

Scathing critique of leadership

In her statement, Mon Cherie said the SLP government under Pierre “lacks intellectual coordinence” and argued that the prime minister “really is not prepared now or never to be a leader of a growing nation.” She added that Saint Lucia, despite its global reputation as a leading honeymoon destination, has become “the big laughing stock of the Caribbean” due to rising murder rates and declining educational outcomes.

Mon Cheri, a Saint Lucian artist known for blending Creole culture with her music and for representing the island internationally at a young age, has now turned her voice toward politics. Drawing on her platform as both an entertainer and an engaged citizen, she issued a blistering commentary on the SLP government and Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre.

Cherie’s commentary read in part:

“It seems to me that the current party SLP GOVERNMENT… lacks intellectual coordinence. Our current prime minister Philip J. Pierre really is not prepared now or never to be a leader of a growing nation… it’s like we are now the big laughing stock of the Caribbean. Wow we are the number one honeymoon Destination, ok clap clap! But the murder rate, lack of education thereof etc is at an all time high… he isn’t prepared to move our country St. Lucia forward as a whole.

When a people are EDUCATED, they are EMPOWERED! Often times we are blind sided by foolishness. Politicians give us crumbs and Pennies & we think it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to us. Let’s get serious here…

Getting drunk and gyrating our bodies to music while politicians try to get your vote isn’t acceptable. This isn’t carnival or a music festival. While the murder rate increases, people are dying in hospitals from things that could have been prevented because the lack of funding towards medical sufficiency.

The SLP Government takes the cake on confusing AND misleading the St. Lucian people into thinking they are making any kind of difference by simply feeding you what feeds the flesh, #chickenandrum

They know some of you are weak when it comes to CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS…. This is why majority of politicians go to the poorer neighborhoods because they are aware of what’s really going on mentally, financially and psychologically, and how they can simply take advantage of the situation by giving you what you want…. Ex.. Stupid music (that lacks intelligence,) rum because y’all love to drink!

I have so much more to say based upon my observations on the SLP GOVERNMENT … but thank God some of us are waking up to their filthy smoke screens they are putting in front of our faces. These people do NOT care about St. Lucians, well majority of them don’t. Furthermore, they just don’t know how to. May God be with St. Lucia.

Love Mon Cherie”

Criticism tied to national concerns

Her remarks echo mounting frustration among sections of the population who argue that the government has failed to tackle the island’s crime crisis and the underfunded health sector. The murder rate in Saint Lucia has remained a point of concern, with homicides rising steadily in recent years, while healthcare workers have consistently called for more investment in hospitals and resources.

Cherie also criticized what she described as the government’s reliance on rum, music, and giveaways as a political distraction, contending that such practices undermine critical thinking and perpetuate cycles of poverty in poorer communities.

Wider political implications

The commentary highlights a growing narrative among government critics who say the Pierre administration has struggled to deliver on promises of stability, economic growth, and social improvement. Even in public addresses such as Pierre’s Emancipation Day speech, critics argue that the prime minister has failed to present clear solutions to the island’s worsening challenges.

Mon Cherie’s message, although personal in tone, underscores widespread public dissatisfaction and suggests an erosion of trust in the government’s ability to manage national priorities.
