Kudos to Richard Frederick

THE EDITOR
They say that great things come in small packages, and the best is saved for last. These sayings can very well be accredited to a man that is so controversial, but who has more than proven himself in the political arena, Richard Frederic, better known to St. Lucians as the prince of peace.
There is so much controversy that has surrounded Mr. Frederick and yet still none has been proven, and many St. Lucians find this disturbing, as we are a nation that has always sought after the truth. It is no surprise that all the negative information has obviously come from the opposition, the SLP party. St. Lucians today are no longer concerned with hearsay but they are entertained by the facts. And the facts are that Richard Frederick has accomplished in one year what the opposition could not in a decade. Let me take you through the beginning of his legacy. Richard started off as an independent candidate and won his place with the U.W.P. As a matter of fact he was one of Sir John’s greatest assets. He then went on to start vertical development programs which I personally have overseen. Later he moved on to securing 116 homes in Marigot for first home owners. But his greatest achievement thus so far is in crime, the most prominent problem that we have faced in this country for over ten years.

Where the SLP failed miserable, from poor management that did not even suppress crime, to hiring foreign police officers from England who could not put a dent in the situation, Richard had to step in.
It takes a great man to do great things, and Richard Frederick is one of our greatest. Since his immeasurable contribution to suppression of crime, St. Lucians, and visitors alike will tell you that they feel so much safer, We all feel at home without looking over our backs.
Yes, they may still be incidents, but we know the truth, we all feel much more safe. On behalf of myself, the returning visitors, the foreigners who live here at home, and the many, many St. Lucians that I talk to on a daily basis, thank you, thank you so much Richard you are without a doubt our prince of peace, and we look forward to having you around much, much longer. In short we truly love you.
