Castries South Opposition MP Dr Ernest Hilaire said there is no comparing the letter that Prime Minister Allen Chastanet read in parliament to the DSH deal. Dr Hilaire says that the letter Dr Anthony wrote was one that outlined the investor’s intentions and indicated that the government was prepared to start a discussion. He said Prime Minister Chastanet signed an agreement with DSH because he wanted to say to Saint Lucians that he is better than the SLP and former Prime Minister Dr Kenny Anthony, but says in doing so, the UWP Administration failed to ensure sufficient benefit to Saint Lucia. Prime Minister Chastanet has claimed that the SLP had fully planned to sell or lease thousands of acres of land and rights to mining, to a developer who had no track record of tacking on such massive projects.
