THE EDITOR: Legal proceedings against the MP for Castries South based on his ongoing allegations that the current administration disbursed $33M in respect to the Range Development Project are under way.
The comments were made repeatedly and consequently, the current government felt it necessary to take the appropriate actions.
These false rumors coincide with what transpired on September 4th, 2018 when a female personality impersonated one in authority by way of providing misleading information to the nation with the intention of creating fear within the nursing industry on island.
This propaganda seems to coincide with the upcoming March of SHAME scheduled for September 9th.
Law enforcement agencies on island have successfully collected information which is likely to bring the offenders to justice.
A top Israeli investigative officer presently on island on other related issues is expected to assist law enforcement officers in curtailing such breeches of protocol, including the ongoing leakages which remain of great concern to the security of the state.

The most recent sick-out approved by the president of the CSA is unfortunate, as the president failed to go through the four pillars of negotiation prior to any strike or sick out action.
We sincerely trust that the president has not permitted his authority to be undermined by any form of political methods.
Our Prime Minister has the moral responsibility to remain firm against individuals hell bent on fermenting unrest within our nation.
