A minibus driver operating the Morne Du Don route has been fined $150 and suspended for one day for the alleged sexual harassment of a female passenger, sources have told St. Lucia News Online.
The bus driver “verbally sexually harassed” a female passenger about her buttocks, the sources said.
The sources said it will not be surprising if no one will go on record to confirm the incident.
“The bus drivers look out for each other so that’s a hush-hush matter,” one source said. “In St. Lucia everything is hush-hush…. the Anse La Raye issue, the officers claimed the incident was a rumour and it turned out to be true.”
SNO contacted several official sources and got no confirmation.
President of the Morne Du Don Minibus Association Allan Duncan said while the incident could be true, nothing of that sort was reported to him.
President of the National Council of Public Transportation (NCOPT) Godfrey Ferdinand said he has not received that report either and referred this publication to the Ministry of Transport.
An official from the Transport Board also said he is not aware of the incident.
The official made contact with a few other minibus association officials who claimed they too are not aware of the situation.
