 Ladies and gentlemen, let me just welcome you to this swearing ceremony. Of course, I will, as cabinet secretary, be swearing in the new attorney general as delegated by the governor general, of course, consistent with the president that has been established, given that the attorney general is being appointed as a public officer.

Assisting us, of course, in the activity this afternoon is the EDC to the governor general of Allegiance. Leslie Vincent Mondesi, to swear that I will be faithful and betrothal allegiance to St. Lucia, that I will uphold and defend the constitution and the laws of St. Lucia, and that I will conscientiously and impartially discharge my responsibilities to the people of St. Lucia.

First and foremost, I wish to, I will start by thanking the Almighty God for blessing me with the opportunity to be here on this beautiful day. It is indeed with great sense of honour that I stand before you all to accept the position of Attorney General of our beautiful country, St. Lucia. I would like to thank the Honourable Prime Minister for having the confidence in me and for trusting my ability to carry out this task at such a crucial time of our history. My gratitude also goes to my family, my friends and my colleagues for all the support that I have received and thus far, received thus far and the encouragement over the years. Special mention to my brother colleague, Brother Claudius Francis, who is here with us today. I think we did it, my brother. We did it. At this point, I want to pay a special tribute to my now deceased aunts who raised me and who, without a doubt, would have been very proud of me today. I pledge to do my utmost best in performing the task which has been entrusted to me. I will not pretend that it is an easy endeavour and obviously it will take a lot of hard work. But I am up for the challenge and I am ready to serve my people and my country with devotion and pride. Thank you very much.
