Communications Director and prospective Castries South East Candidate for the Saint Lucia Labour Party, Lisa Jawahir fired back at comments made about her by UWP Deputy Leader Guy Joseph.
Joseph, during a UWP Public Meeting in Gros Islet on March 2nd, says the Labour Party’s political approach is disjointed, especially in the constituency of Castries South East. “The SLP has a PRO, not the PRO of the government, and the PRO of the Labour Party is everywhere doing house-to-house in Castries South-East and telling them how badly the SLP candidate is performing in Castries South-East,” Joseph said during the UWP Public Meeting.
Jawahir, who responded to Joseph’s comments during the SLP’s March 9th Public Meeting at the Anse La Raye, says the former Castries South East MP should focus on other matters.
“I have a message for somebody that just likes to call my name! This person says that the Labor Party is paying a PRO to talk bad about the people. But I want to ask you a question comrades: Ou Janmen tann Guy Joseph palé lavéwité? Have you ever heard Guy Joseph speak the truth? So Guy Joseph, I have a message for you: Drink water and mind your business. The Saint Lucia Labour Party has no division,” said Jawahir to applause from the audience.
Jawahir encouraged SLP supporters to remain focused on the Labour government’s achievements in the party’s almost four years in office.
“We are moving forward together for more progress. And it is our responsibility to continue to push the mandates for you, the people. Do not be distracted with what the Flambeau have to say. Do not listen to the propaganda, misinformation, and disinformation of people who have lost their seats,” she said. Despite public speculation of otherwise, Joseph has been endorsed by the UWP to contest the seat once more
