On Saturday December 17th, 2022, the United Workers Party posted on its official page, a number of false and malicious allegations, to try to damage the good reputation of Minister for Youth Development and Sports, Hon. Kenson Casimir, Parliamentary Representative for Gros Islet.
In their witch hunt against the sitting MP, the UWP stated that “Officials” from the Ministry of Youth and Sports conveyed to them that the “Minister requested an allocation of $50,000 to cover a 5 day trip to Qatar to witness the finals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup…”
The SLP is in receipt of official communication from FIFA to the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports, confirming FIFA’s coverage of ALL EXPENSES PAID including flights, accommodation, and transfers for the Minister during his stay.
The SLP demands that the United Workers Party comes forward with evidence of these allegations and proof that such allocations were provided to the minister or face legal recourse as this clearly is another deliberate attempt to defame the character of the Member of Parliament.
This is the second time.
