RE TURNING SAINT LUCIANS DESIROUS O F INV ESTING IN T H E C OUNTRY
Castries, Saint Lucia October 7, 2013 Political Leader and Deputy Political Leader of the
United Workers Party, Mr. Allen Chastanet and Ms. Gale Rigobert, respectively, have returned
from London where, among other engagements, they held a highly successful meeting with the
Saint Lucian diaspora living in the United Kingdom.
The animated dialogue focused on issues of public safety, affordable quality healthcare,
education and
its
international community.
Some of the issues raised by the diaspora include access to affordable health insurance in Saint
Lucia, personal public safety, relaxation of the stringent banking rules for returning residents,
and offering special incentives for Saint Lucians desirous of investing in Saint Lucia.
Saint Lucians living in the UK were encouraged to participate more fully in the political process
by forming a Party Support Group. This will afford them a more direct involvement in the
decision making process of the Party and allow them a platform for advancing their concerns and
form policies accordingly.
The London meeting is the first in a series of such meetings to be held over the next few months
in various Metropolitan Cities where there are large enclaves of Saint Lucians.
