Eloise Gonsalves, wife of St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves, has denied any corruption took place when her family acquired properties at the Victoria Keyes housing development in Diego Martin.

In a minute-long video posted on the Unity Labour Party (ULP) Facebook page on November 13, Eloise, who was born in Trinidad to Dominican parents, said her family did not receive any preferential treatment in their dealing with the Housing Development Corporation (HDC).

She labelled the revelations by Minister in the Ministry of Housing Anil Roberts about her family’s property holding on November 11 as “political malice” linked to the opposition New Democratic Party (NDP) ahead of the November 25 general election.
