Opposition Leader Dr. Gale Rigobert.
PRESS RELEASE - The Leader of the Opposition, Dr. Gale Rigobert says, like the rest of Saint Lucia, she is unable to make an informed comment on the long-awaited IMPACS Report, because she has not had the privilege of seeing the full IMPACS report.
However, according to Dr. Rigobert, given what Dr. Anthony chose to share with the nation on Sunday 8th March 2015, and his own analysis thereof, the Prime Minister has damaged the morale of the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force (RSLPF).
Dr. Rigobert described the Prime Minister’s speech as “wholly irresponsible and lacking wisdom.”
He has compromised the national security of the state she said, and has threatened the chance of realizing the very justice that we would all like to see.
“The Prime Minister should have sent the report to the DPP without comment,” Dr. Rigobert said.
We cannot validate the contents of the report as revealed by the Prime Minister if we do not have the benefit of the full content of the report.
The Leader of the Opposition, therefore, is urging that a copy of the report be made available to her and members of Parliament for careful review without delay.
