STATEMENT Government and People of Saint Lucia Express Deepest Condolences on Death of Guyana Minister
The Government and People of Saint Lucia join the rest of the Caribbean and the world in condemning the brutal murder of Guyana's Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Livestock, Satyadeow “Sash” Sawh by an armed gang. Mr. Sawh is recalled by fellow Agriculture Ministers across the region as one who made significant contributions at the CARICOM level to the search for solutions to the region's agriculture, fisheries and livestock sectors. His colleague subject minister in Saint Lucia, Hon. Ignatius Jean, remembers him as one who clearly articulated the needs of the farming fishing and livestock communities of Guyana and the Caribbean in the face of problems brought about by the new terms of world trade and Globalization. The Government and People of Saint Lucia join the Government and People of Guyana in unreservedly condemning the multiple murder of Minister Sawh and the other victims of that brutal attack. These and other high-profile killings, in Guyana as in other CARICOM states, add to the growing concerns that CARICOM Governments and citizens collectively share about the state of crime in our region. The Government and People of Saint Lucia offer deepest condolences to the Government and People of Guyana and pledge to continue to work together with other CARICOM Governments and People to even more effectively coordinate efforts in the fight against crime, across borders and between jurisdictions. |
