CASTRIES, St Lucia, CMC-Attorney’s representing Speaker of the House of Assembly, Peter Foster, have demanded an apology from Opposition Leader Stephenson King over remarks in which he accused Foster of conflict of interest surrounding the inquiry into the St. Lucia Fire Service.
In a statement last week King claimed that Foster’s law firm had been hired as Counsel to the Commission while he was also representing a media house which the Chief Fire Officer has sued for defamation.
On Friday, the legal firm of Gordon and Gordon wrote the opposition leader demanding an apology within 48 hours in a form to be agreed by Foster.  “This apology is to be aired by all the media houses which published King’s “defamatory statements” the letter stated.
