Former Prime Minister, Doctor Kenny Anthony is urging an inquiry into the way Prime Minister Allen Chastanet has handled the current COVID-19 pandemic.
“What has occurred with COVID must never be allowed to happen again,” Anthony asserted Tuesday.
And he explained why.
“Because scientists – nations are warning us that there will be other pandemics,” Anthony said.
He made the comments during a virtual Town Hall meeting of the opposition Saint Lucia Labour Party (SLP).
“We have to call for an inquiry into Chastanet’s handling of the COVID pandemic,” Anthony declared.
However, the Vieux Fort South MP said he was not referring to a Commission of Inquiry.
“I am talking about an inquiry with a well-respected team of experts to review how we handled COVID, where the mistakes were made and by whom and hold them responsible,” the former Prime Minister explained.
“We owe it to the families of those who have died. We owe it to the people of Saint Lucia and we must not be afraid to do the right thing,” Anthony declared.
Citing this country’s COVID-19 statistics and COVID-19 related deaths, he asserted that Saint Lucia is in a situation where it has become a laughing stock, because of handling the pandemic so badly.
