C AST R I ES, Saint L ucia O ctober 31, 2013 The United Workers
Party remains baffled by comments made by the Minister of Commerce,
Business Development, Investment and Consumer Affairs and
Parliamentary Representative for Gros Islet, Hon. Emma Hippolyte,
during her interview with CHOICE NEWS NOW last week. In her
response to a Television Commercial (TVC) showing a clip of her
promise to discontinue gambling should the Saint Lucia Labour Party
win the 2011 General Election, Ms. Hippolyte categorically stated that
she still does not support gambling.
In light of her response, the Party, and by extension the People of Saint
Lucia request that Hon. Emma Hippolyte explain why her Ministry
would renew Trade Licenses for Gambling Machines and increase the
numbers on the island if she passionately opposes the practice of
gambling.
