Kenny
Anthony
Lead
Government
to
spend
US$40,000.00
to
recover
EC$38,000.00?
The
Government
of
the
Saint
Lucia
instituted
legal
proceedings
against
Allen
Chastanet.
According
to
documents
filed,
the
SLP
government
wants
to
recover
EC$38,000.00
which
they
claimed
was
not
used
in
accordance
to
government's
protocol,
however,
the
UNITED
PAC
has
understood
that
Dominica's
Queen
Counsel
Anthony
Astaphane
has
been
retained
by
Kenny
Anthony
to
the
tune
of
US40,000
to
represent
the
GOSL
in
that
said
case.
Question
is
why
weren't
the
local
attorneys
from
the
Attorney
General's
Chambers
retained
and
is
our
Prime
Minister
saying
to
us
tax
payers
that
the
lawyers
in
the
Attorney
General
Chambers
are
incompetent
when
it
comes
to
defending
the
GOSL
or
is
pay
back
at
the
expense
of
tax
payers
in
this
country.
UNITED
PAC
has
also
understood
that
the
proceeding
got
under
way
today
and
will
sought
clarification
on
the
logic
of
spending
US
40,000.00
or
more
to
recover
a
perceived
EC$38,000.00
especially
when
the
government
is
more
than
likely
to
lose.
We
will
continue
to
follow
and
monitor
this
development.
