Abstract
In this report: The commission of inquiry established in St. Lucia, to look into the UN funds scandal has taken a one and half week adjournment to allow key witness Dr. Charles Flemming to collect documents in New York. In St. Kitts/Nevis, investigations continue into the cause of election violence. A third unusual murder in Trinidad has local police considering a possible link with the killing of former Attorney General Selwyn Richardson. BWIA's Chief Operations Officer, Ed Wegel states that the airline's offer for shareholding in LIAT depends on a number of factors yet to be assessed. Jamaica's Deputy Prime Minister Seymour Mullings states that his country has taken the necessary steps to ensure it can compete in the global economy. Previously granted but unused European Development Fund monies may form part of a new aid package for the ACP countries. Both Montserrat's Chief Minister, Reuben Meade and Ambassador Edwin Laurent expressed concern about the possible effects this could have on the Caribbean region.
