Prime Minister, Allen Chastanet, has vowed to do everything within his power to deal with the crime situation and more importantly, tackle the underlying social issues that lead to crime. Already the Prime Minister has announced increased resources for the Justice Ministry.
He has also called on St Lucians to reflect, particularly as the island gets set to celebrate another anniversary of Independence, whether this is the vision they have for St Lucia and whether this is the image that they wish to project to the world.
