Former SLP administration could face civil action

St Lucia’s Prime Minister Stephenson King says members of the former St Lucia Labour Party (SLP) administration could face civil action as a result of the findings of a recent Commission of Inquiry.



The government now has the final report of the Commission led by Guyanese jurist Sir Fenton Ramsahoye and cabinet ministers have been receiving briefings from their lawyers on the document.



Although the Commission set up to investigate questionable activities of the SLP administration cited no instances of criminal liability, the prime minister says it did establish a strong case for mismanagement that cost tax payers millions of dollars.



Prime Minister King says its the responsibility of the government to investigate and determine whether the people’s concerns are justified.



Last week he served notice that he plans to table the report of the Commission in Parliament at the next sitting.
