Former Leader of the United Workers Party (UWP), Stephenson King, has publicly praised the Saint Lucia Labour Party (SLP) for its strong morals, values, and compassionate approach to governance.
Speaking at the annual general meeting of the SLP’s Gros Islet Constituency Group, King reflected on his transition to the SLP after leaving the United Workers Party (UWP) shortly before the 2021 general elections.
The former UWP leader retained his Castries North seat after facing the electorate as an independent.
After the electorate voted the SLP into government, King accepted a senior minister post in the Labour cabinet.
At Sunday’s AGM, he spoke of the positive change he has experienced within the Labour administration.
“Having come from outside, from another organisation, and to come into an organization, a government that demonstrates love, peace, tranquility, caring and looking out, it’s a big difference – it means that you people care about one another,” King stated.
King mentioned the supportive relationships he has formed with his fellow cabinet members, noting how they continually check in on him.
He specifically mentioned Babonneau MP Dr. Virginia Albert Poyotte.
He said she ensures he stays on the “straight and narrow.”
King also spoke of Ministers Kenson Casimir and Emma Hippolyte, disclosing that they reach out to him, even during his absences from parliament.
“This is the strength of the Saint Lucia Labour Party government,” King asserted. “A government that campaigned on putting the people first demonstrates not only in word but in deed that they are indeed putting people first, and I am proud to be part of this government.”
“a government that demonstrates love, peace, tranquility, caring and looking out, it’s a big difference” – What government you talking about Razor Blade? Certainly not SLP! Mwe memm!!!
I support Mr King 100%
Morals? Jesus this guy. Peep made a deal with that pitbull devil to get power. He will regret it. The country as a whole is already regretting it.
Senior minister you are welcome to the SLP,moreover you have been asset to to the government. You dignity and humility is well recognised.
Who really are you King? One time you blue (Patirot) and another time you red(SLP).Stop hiding behind colors to prove the person that you really are cause we all know that a snake always sheds its skin.St Lucians should be smart enough to not take anything that comes from your mouth seriously.#traitor
Tell Mr. King to fix the roads properly already… And to Get off his fat ass and do his job. The bois d’orange stretch is atrocious… It took the JuJu motorcade to get the pot holes filled in on bridge Street.
I wonder what excuse he will give this time around as to why he couldn’t do his job.
Year of infrastructure they said … We are in October now and the road situation keeps getting worse.
I’m here wondering if his other colleagues, that call to check up on him, tell him that he needs to do better ?
