DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER OF ST. LUCIA REFUSES TO ANSWER HOW MANY CBI PASSPORTS WERE GIVEN TO CARIBBEAN GALAXY

ERNEST HILAIRE, the deputy Prime Minister of St. Lucia, who also holds the portfolio for Investment, and who runs the country's controversial Citizenship By Investment Program (CBI/CIP) has publicly declined to disclose how many files were allocated to Caribbean Galaxy. It has been claimed by the Opposition that 7,000 files, which could be used to issue 28,000 passports, were assigned to Galaxy. Hilaire, who claims he must first obtain permission from Galaxy, prior to naming how many were transferred, as it is a commercial matter. It is not known why the Government has never requested this information before.

When a sovereign government refuses to disclose relevant information to its constituents on demand, it must be presumed that such data, if released, could so damage the sitting government as to bring it down in disgrace. All the allegations that appear in the American RICO case, MSR Media vs. Les Khan, appear to have a basis in fact, as government officials in two CBI jurisdictions hasten to find ways to ignore their admission of painful truth about illegality, bribes & kickbacks, and corruption on a grand scale.
