Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, has called for public officers to operate respectfully and dutifully, in spite of their political persuasion.
Speaking at the launching of Public Service Day 2016, at the Fort Young Hotel, on Wednesday, he noted that several citizens allow their political views to affect their attitudes toward others.
“You have the right to support the party in government or the party in Opposition; but, that should never be a consideration in your attitude to work, or your attitude towards the citizens of this country…” he said. “I find too many people in this country allow their political persuasion to be the deciding factor as to how they deliver services to the public.”
Skerrit stated that the public sector is vital for “implementation and achievement of government’s plans and programs,” and asked that public servants be mindful of their responsibilities.
“Each one of us must take ownership of our responsibilities and duties… If you’re being paid to do a task—whether you agree with the remuneration or not, at that particular juncture—we have to take responsibility for our duties,” he explained.
The Prime Minister remarked that persons who fail to fulfil their obligations, undermine their responsibilities as Christians and law-abiding citizens.
“You are delivering this service, but one day, you will be receiving the service; and what you sow is what you shall reap,” he commented. “So, never believe that you are undermining the government when you do not fulfil your responsibilities. You’re undermining your responsibility as a Christian, and you’re underminding your responsibility according to the laws of the land.”
Public Service Day is geared at encouraging camaraderie among public officers, and to recognize their contribution, and excellence in performance, with a view to ultimately improve administration of the public service.
“You are delivering this service, but one day, you will be receiving the service; and what you sow is what you shall reap,” he commented. Skerro, you said that for true? Papa met. You have some kind of guts my brother. Please start to practice what you preach sir…for one day, you will be receiving the service.
By the way, heads of departments ‘press’ those under them if they do not support the same political party as them. preach to them too.
I still cya believe you said that eh….More you live is more you see/hear.
This money hungry hasard divided dominica he must go
Why the hypocrisy PM Skerret? You Say one thing and you act quite the opposite.
Skerrit enjoys playing games with Dominicans,especially public officers aided and abetted by the Public Service Commission and police service commission. The PSU and PWA are inundated with cases of unfair treatment,victimization, arbitrary transfer, denial of appointment and promotions of officers,targeted because their perceived linings. Three officers were unceremoniously removed from the Disaster Office on instructions because it was alleged that they are not singing the tunes of the PM and the Minister pure gossip. Nothing based on performance.in fact the PM and minister publicly praised the guys for carrying out the task beyond the call of duty especially during TS Erika yet they were kicked out. Pastor Rodney, Biliary daughter, and many others across the service experience the denial of opportunities due to their perceived linings. Court cases filed against such arbitrariness have been upheld and there are many more pending. But the PM there BSing.
The verdict in favour of officer Bertrand is testimony of the games being played. The sad thing is people who stood against such atrocities are now aiding and abetting this cabal. During the 70s,80s,90s and up to 2015 some those persons were vehemently against any form of corruption. But now are party to the worst form of governance in this country………………………die hard Freedomites who embraced the good governance of Eugenia are now giving legitimacy and credence to this filthy cabal………….. But history shall not be kind to these folks and it is time to call them out for who they really are, down right opportunist.
Yup… ignorance is rampant!
I have never seen Dominicans especially UWP so obsessed with politics even after elections. This is a direct result of their Political leader always having a divisive tone in his speeches.
@UDOREADYET and you will never be ready . your leader ruthless skerrit holds the crown for divisive tones and utterances.
Skeritt is way worse He pretends to be non Divisive but He acts in a very divisive and deceitful way full of hypocrisy
Case in point “Salisbury People road”
Is it Hypocritical when You advise Your Supporters to look the Opposition in the face and call them “Traitors”?
I agree.
You made me laugh. 
You have right to your opinion.
Mr PM you say” I find too many people in this country allow their political persuasion to be the deciding factor as to how they deliver services to the public.”.but do you practice what you preach? What about the areas in Dominica who did not vote for your Labour party, are you doing right by them? Please check yourself before you open your mouth.
pat make a song for me please… I want to sing about the two tongue two face man…..
Snake-like Non teller of the Truth!
“The Prime Minister remarked that persons who fail to fulfil their obligations, undermine their responsibilities as Christians and law-abiding citizens.” Are you serious? Have you provided Mr. Francis Joseph with any support to help combat the damage that’s being done to our our children by these bold-face “Rapist” who abuse them and walk the streets free of any wrong doing? Do you even have forensics in place to help police officers conduct proper investigations and secure convictions? When is the last time that your inept Director of Public Prosecutions Office, secured a conviction against a cold blooded-murderer? I have remarked time and time again, that this iteration of the Dominica Labor Party is utilizing the entire play book from Joseph Goebbels the Reich Minister of Propaganda during Hitler’s Nazi regime. It is as clear as day. The gullible ones will continue to be brained-washed as usual.
More lies and propaganda from the Chief Liar of the Dominica Labor Party. Was Danny Lugay providing dutiful service to the Goodwill community by securing funds to fence Lindo Park, which you promptly blocked, because “You were unsure who would hold the keys to the entrance gate?” This man needs to see Dr. Benjamin pronto!!
Anthony P. Ismael who is Dr. Benjamin seeing or is to see. Every nuthead needs a nut head too
Refer Supremo to the doctor….please somebody
Danny Lugay was just a Member of the Group but to eradicate the perception that He may have had something to do with the lighting and fencing of Lyndo Park they stalled the project that had already secured the funds.As of today nothing is happening in regard to lighting and fencing this Park
Shame Shame Shame!
Your night mares at 02:02:02 A.M were stronger than mine. Just look above, and say not what you don’t mean.
This is the same Skerrit who invited his esteemed Baroness to Dominica after Erika and her advice to Dominicans who differed with her “king” was to: “Sousay Sel.” Today he’s singing a different tune. I give them credit for well written articles that continue to fool the masses.
Here is the Supreme Leader, Dominica’s reigning Red King, ordained, sanctified and Knighted by the Roman Catholic Church, the one who is NOT a doctor being called DOCTOR by the most ignorant and uneducated, the “don’t pray to God come to ME” leader of the Red Clinic, the great Socialist Dictator wanna-be, the almighty Passport Merchant, the Christ-like rags to riches Saviour to the lost tribe of Labourites, uttering words that clearly contradicts his own actions! Is the Prime Minister even conscious of the things he says or is given to say? I mean here is a man who single-handedly Governs a DEMOCRATIC Country with complete bias and partisan leanings, penalizing and marginalizing Citizens according to their political persuasions telling Public Servants that they must serve (HIM) with absolute loyalty despite their political views. The Supreme Leader is either “losing it” or simply just does not give a #$%^ about how hypocritical these utterances are!
I agree with the Prime Minister. But he needs to speak to the Public and Police Service Commissions about victimizing people who are willing , qualified and are willing to work outside the normal call of duty to get the job done. When the victimization takes place it only leaves lazy, unproductive people moving up, they are not qualified and then those who can work become demotivated. But congratulations to the Public Service.
“…………..operate respectfully and dutifully, in spite of their political persuasion…..” Are you serious!!?
Have you taken back those words, Go to Hell, Got Hell, none of your damn business..” It was, us Dominicans you addressed then. Do you recall?
Skerrit , you are in no position to preach, lecture us on political decency and etiquette. Go clean your political dirty, corrupted House and party and try again. You are not a genuine leader, you use your authority to attract people to you for handouts of money and I have seen these people still struggling to survive because this was not an investment but a buy off. It is sad the amount of pain and poverty you have brought to Dominica.
Why the hypocrisy PM Skerret? You Say one thing and you act quite the opposite.
Respect pm I think that should start with u first as the leader of the country cause I think u don’t have no respect for the ppl of this country
Maybe lead by example on this one PM.That is if you can, show us what you really mean. This is great if everyone from the top can do this.
A few days ago I said; I may not write any more comments on DNO due to the shallow, and unintellectual foolish comments many none-scholastically educated people write; I believe the foolishness they write stigmatize those of us with commonsense , and has some form of educational learning. Here is an example of how ignorant is even, Roosevelt Skerrit!
“persons who fail to fulfil their obligations, undermine their responsibilities as Christians and law-abiding citizens”(Roosevelt Skerrit). How do we define the term Christianity? Everybody in Dominica are not Christians!
A Christian is one who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ, after accepting Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior! Simply because someone is involved in religion does not make them a Christian. When I was a kid my parent took me to the Roman Catholic Church, and put me through two rituals; one they called first communion: and the other they say was confirmation; and told me I am a Christian…
Continuation:
When I was a kid my parent took me to the Roman Catholic Church, and put me through two rituals; one they called first communion: and the other they say was confirmation; and told me I am a Christian. Baloney; I had to decide for myself to become a believer in Jesus Christ; hence, I became a Christian when I accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and my Savior.
Jesus said no one cometh to the father but by me; (meaning him) you have to go through him, by accepting him, for he said he is the way the truth and the life. This crap which the Roman Catholic taught Skerrit as they taught my parents that “everybody are Christians, that is a lie; because one go to listen to a some so called priest mumble in Latin does not make anyone a Christian. Some of those people in the civil service does not believe in God anyway; I am not judging anyone, but based on some comments here; those who know better knows that I have spoken the truth!
Last week I comment on the death of a man;…
Conclusion:
How often do you suspend your salary, in order for one or two struggling poor civil servants get paid to put food on their table? While you fail to pay the civil servants, you expect them to be happy in the name of God, working for free, while you and your corrupt ministers live off the fat of the hog!
Man shut up; God is not on you side, you are driven by satan; using the word Christianity will not help you on the day you self destruct!
Cont:
Last week I comment on the death of a man; some people claimed I am cold and has no sympathy: if they were Christians they would have known what thus saith the Lord in his words regarding death, anyone, and the birth of a child. Skerrit is only using this crap about responsibilities as Christians, as another of his wicked cheap political ploys. Is Skerrit a Christian?
I say absolutely not, because a Christian should be an example to others; as the Bible teaches, let you light shine before men. Here is a man who spends millions of dollars buying votes, to remain in power, and in the process victimizing the poor, talking about Christianity! How hypocritical are you Skerrit?
How often do you suspend you salary, in order for the one or two struggling poor servants get paid to put food on their table? While you fail to pay the civil servants, you expect them to be happy in the name of God, working for free, while you and your corrupt ministers live off the fat of the…
I like your contributions and usually give you a thumbs up. But you don’t have to write an essay on here everyday sir . Show you’re intelligent by being more brief and to the point sir.
I concur…thanks much.
Well, some people are one liner, when I read those one line I cannot make sense out of them. I think I get to explain and make the point clear by elaborating to a point where I believe what I conveyed can be understood by a kindergarten student.
See if you can get an English class or some information on creative writing, and you will understand the concept of exceeding a one, or two line comment! That is a college dispelling, if you are not in College perhaps you can get a book on creative =, and ways of writing, they are all over the place.
And that’s if you are living out of Dominica. Glad you are reading me; thanks!
Skerrit enjoys playing games with the people of Dominica, more specifically with Public officers assisted by the Public Service Commission and the Police Service Commission. The PSU and PWA are inundated with cases of unfair treatment, victimisation and arbitrary transfer and denial of appointment and promotion of certain individuals based on pure politics. Recently three officers were unceremoniously removed from the disaster office on instructions because it was perceived that the said officers were not singing the tunes of the PM and the Minister pure gossip. Nothing to do with performance. In fact the PM himself publicly praised the guys saying they performed way beyond the call of duty epecially during Erika yet they were kicked out. Pastor Rodney’s son, Hillary’s daughter and many others in the police, fire, prison have been denied opportunities based on their perceived affiliation. Court cases filed against such arbitrary action have been won while many are still pending.
The verdict in Officer Bertrand case is a clear example of how government plays games with public officers. People who once criticized and stood against such atrocities especially during the 70’s 80’s, 90’s up to as recent as 2005 are now part and parcel of this regime condoning and facilitating the very same things they stood against. Example Charles Saverin, Parry Bellot, Rupert Sohraindo, Vanoustl Johncharles, Martin Charles, Sonia Williams, Dermott Southwell and recently Cecil Shillingford all die hard freedomites in the day, stood steadfastly against corruption and victimization are now seen giving support and credence to this corrupt government. Up to recently Shillingford could be seen and heard with the opposition now he is Blackmores most favourite advisor. These are people history will not be kind to and will not spare. People need to see through them. They are classicalOpportunists. Poor DA.
Once again you’re taking Dominicans for fools, them sweet talks and pretending that you so care when you are the mastermind behind that very action. Good going SLY FOX. One day it will come your way. What you sow you shall surely reap.
What a false speech…. Perhaps the speech makers gave the wrong person to read this speech……..
Surely the PM doesnot reflect the words spoken….. This may be leaning toward being two face…
This government biggest archivement is political victimisation.. Labourites getting best jobs.. Labourites getin help to go overseas. Labourites getting all kinds of duty free. Labourite children getting all scholarships.. Labourites getting contracts from the north South East n West.. Uwp supporters really suffering under Labour.
Labourites always carrying people name for the Labour Kabal.
No Mr. Skerrit! I cannot cooperate with corruption. Therefore, me and my fellow colleagues in the ministry of health will do whatever we can to undermine you.
YOU THAT KID ON THE BLOCK THERE>I believe you are a direct benefactor of skerritt. I also believe you are skerritt himself making these Idiotic comments for every and any garbage skerritt put out..you have to be skerritt himself. no one will go against himself. for you, Skerritt has done nothing wrong is his life time. what ever it is that you benefitting from there make sure you make good use of it
Pyjama,The kid has got every right to give his opinions just like you have if you don’t like it you are welcome to take your ball ⚽ and play at the end of the field Q95.
“You are delivering this service, but one day, you will be receiving the service; and what you sow is what you shall reap,” he commented. Skerro, you said that for true? Papa met. You have some kind of guts my brother. Please start to practice what you preach sir…for one day, you will be receiving the service.
By the way, heads of departments ‘press’ those under them if they do not support the same political party as them. preach to them too.
I still cya believe you said that eh….More you live is more you see.
I have worked in the public service for years and recently, it is the labourites who are not working fairly and productively cause their party in power. Uwpites has to work in fair of victimization, etc; but not labourites; they are a detriment to their own party.
Scarit……………You are have no moral authority to speak in such a way,you hypocrite! All this evilman has done……………is use cunning words to fool the people, but his actions is completely of the opposite.This man is holding a position that he is not fit for ,as his aim is not to do any of what he’s reading,but to do the contrary.The position demands that he reads this piece of paper and so he does,but as soon as he is done with reading,in his heart is mischief making!This man needs to be ridden of!
Mr. Skerrit,
are U going to practice what U preach, you may’ full me with your strategy, ask your SPEAKER of the house of assembly and I quote “U better red than or dead”, what does that mean?
the manner in which the members of opposition is treated by ur speaker of your house is very un becoming,
I will end there by saying that U have weighed in the balance and found wanting, so what I can say to you is that WHO LAUGH LAST LAUGH THE BEST
Sometimes I wish these people would look at themselves in the mirror when they’re saying these things. They need to convince themselves and their supporters. Not long you were asking your supporters to call people traitor and now you’re calling for dutiful service.
Ruthless Skerrit is absolutely right but coming from him it sounding hollow and insincere base on his past and most recent utterances , he is on record as a catalyst as an acolyte of discord and and disunity.
I agree completely… now fix the hospital in Marigot ASAP.
Mr.Prime Minister,your speech is definitely right and strong so go ahead….
Thank you P,M….you are so right because as Public Officers we need to take our jobs seriously….attendance, regularity, deportment, honesty, transparency, respect, pride, service, love for country….and the list goes on. It’s so pathetic to see that the hard working public officers are the ones not being recognized and being pressed in the service, ranging from positions to promotion. I have been a victim of the system…going the extra mile to perform duties…hustling on the job…travelling miles without a vehicle yet no appointment. The system needs to be flushed with the rotten eggs, those who hardly work and still earn a salary wasting government’s resources. ALL DEPARTMENTS AND DIVISIONS should be investigated and inquiries should be conducted as to the efficiency and effectiveness of these departments in delivering quality service to our citizens. The public needs better and more quality service….TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT POOR SERVICE IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE!!!!
This PM needs plenty of prays…….when they come for you with the level of unjust you dealt out I hope you can answer.
Partner leave Christianity out of that…… I was told the devil was also a preacher.
Mr. Sherritt you need to take the course of logic 101. You incite and throw the stone and hide your hand.
PM – you’ll never harmoniously bind the nation because the problem starts with you. Please practice what you speak, I’m sure it will be the biggest challenge in your life.
skerrit the longest road has its bend and the longest rope its end. All the hard working public servant that are genuinely working for the betterment of this country and you and your political supporters who are causing them pain and tears, all those tears MUST fall on you. You CANNOT last FOREVER and you WILL not continue Forever….God is just seeing how far you are going. He WILL and MUST STOP YOU ONE DAY. I continue to BEND MY KNEES.
“The Prime Minister remarked that persons who fail to fulfil their obligations, undermine their responsibilities as Christians and law-abiding citizens.”
90 days since PWC has received salaries….. did the minister and permanent secretary in that ministry die???
please tell me when is the funeral so I can attend…
stupes these effing politicians…. they all need to be struck with a lightning bolt like kane..
Who ever you are I no you don’t want 1976, get of the horse you are riding and let us move that country forward……………… CIRCLE YOURSELF AMOUNT GOOD PEOPLE
Be careful what you ask for.
Be careful what you wish for
It should not influence attitudes at work, fair point. But what about people’s political affiliations being scrutinized? Calling supporters of the opposition traitors and telling your supporters to confront them?
I’m not for any of these parties but I’ll call out rubbish when I see/hear it.
So on point. Many breadwinner have to seek employment overseas because they can’t find employment in Dominica because of political victomization. What is this man talking about?
Mr Prime Minister you are so very right ” WHAT YOU SOW YOU SHALL SURELY REAP!!!!!!!!
It pertains to you too, for each and every one of us. No one is exempt. God will not excuse you nor exonerate you. Therefore, do not point your finger. Look to yourself and do what you can for your country, others and also yourself to the best of your capability, regardless of political preference. This is the way it goes for all.
We are obligated to love one another and care for each other with no exception especially when the opportunity presents itself. The more you do in that godly spirit, the happier and peaceful you will be. This comes from God who knows, sees and hears all things. Nothing is hidden from Him. In the end, you will be answerable to Him.
Facts, stop talking rubbish. YOu are blind supporter with Skerrits interests at your heart and Not that of Dominica and its hard working people reduced to poverty over the past 12 years.
Ok Mr. Pm some public officers do work dutifully and don’t get rewarded..
Did you read the article? All of us know what we sow we shall surely reap in time. Consider if you are employed and you do not fulfill your duties satisfactorily, you will not receive a salary increase nor promotion. If this laissez-faire attitude continues you will be fired. The government does not fire employees as the private sector does.
How about Dominica? I reserve my judgment. You tell us. 
I reside in Canada. It is stated that government employees are the laziest. They do not do not work hard; not energetically.
You think they work dutifully? Do they? One does not work for rewards or to expect rewards. One should not seek for nor look for rewards but does his/her best.
How many rewards could an employer give to all staff members? Those who excel usually receive it. Perform your work and do not scrutinize others. You should not be envious. Diligence and patience should be applied, for one day you will reap the benefits.
Facts, stop talking rubbish. YOu are blind supporter with Skerrits interests at your heart and Not that of Dominica and its hard working people reduced to poverty over the past 12 years.
Read again this utter rubbish you wrote. You will forever get the thumbs down for poor quality and ignorance of the situation facing us today under this Skerrit lead corrupt Labour party
Skerrit, be the first example.
why are you giving all the top jobs to your supporters.
why did you ask your supporters to call the supporters of the opposition traitors.
why are you rewarding all your supporters with the topjobs
Those who are covering for you you are rewarding them.
skerrit,God never goes to sleep.
know that your days are numbered.
Serious thing Mr. PM, are you serious about what you said, if YES then please take a look at the man in the Mirror and make that change. Stop reading everything people write for all you because it’s not what you all do at all and you coming out and ask people to do it.
Craziness pure craziness. Yes you’re right people are getting paid and should do their jobs, you are as well and majority of the people who are getting jobs now belongs to your party. Writing and reading another speech with some corrections would maybe help people understand what you’re saying.
The Prime Minister spoke. The first thing you must do is to learn respect for authority. Were you ever taught that from childhood?
Face…get lost. You are out of touch..appesrs bias.n
If you were an exemplary leader you would have led by example!!!
Ever since your rise in politics you have proven yourself to be shamelessly partisan! After your bogus olive leaf offering?
You should really be the last person to speak on dat issue! You not mature enuff to be or even act non-partisan!
So many empty promises from u.
You instruct and force people to act against de best interest of the state, themselves and their families!
You want me to shine on u.
It appears to me dat u must be speaking to yourself!
You in too deep!
When you fall you will NOT get up!
There is such a thing as too late eh Skerrit!
Don’t come to me with crocodile tears.
exemplary leader & SKERRIT ARE NOT INTERCHANGABLE.
This guy slipped through the big crack of 2004.Parra once told me “to be a leader ur back has to be larger than ur followers.” so true in retro.
I saw a pic of skerrit before 2004( I do not know this guy even today after numerous trips home nor do I care to know him.an insignificant being t me& Da too. HE WAS SKINNY THEN. Today, he is fat no large back still.
The Prime Minister remarked that persons who fail to fulfil their obligations, undermine their responsibilities as Christians and law-abiding citizens.
Can you imagine this statement……..
The Prime Minister remarked that persons who fail to fulfil their obligations, undermine their responsibilities as Christians and law-abiding citizens.
…and what if I’m not a Christian? Will I be barred from being a civil servant? The man sounds of his rocket and is dangerous. God help him.
Are you a parrot, repeating yourself?
You are a practicing Christian. You should conduct yourself better on this Website and project and teach by a good example.
Generally, people especially the youths learn from what they observe, hear and read. Your words could contribute to a bad example for others. God is taking note. Christians will be held to a higher esteem.
Well done Parrot Face the Facts……..
Are you still searching for the Fact that you are parrot of Skerrit. You write the same rubbish only twisting the language about. Your thumbs down are 99 to 1…..
you ill thoughts are not working, they are devious stupid thoughts. But you have a right to display stupidy and ignorance of the poor state of Dominica. Exercise your rights sir, but your Facts will remain ill mannered and baseless
Those public officers who know that their pilitical masters are using them to do wrong but they are aiding and abbeting,you all SHALL pay one day…According to Skerrit,what you sew,what you reap!!!!!! Some politicians,especially evil ones never go down alone…PUBLIC SERVANTS TAKE NOTE!!!!SOME OF YOU WILL SUFFER SERIOUS CONSEQUENCIES!!!
Political, sow,,,,
When you make such a comment, you must prove it and that you witnessed it. Otherwise it is judging without proof. You know, you will be punished for tarnishing the good name of others and “judge not that you may not be judged accordingly and two-fold.”
Since you repeat what you may have heard and did not witness it, you will be judged by your words which will condemn you. You also place yourself in a position for a libel suit and those who make a similar comment. Be careful of your words and stones that you throw.
Face the Facts, tell me what would you with the following:
1. The Bin Bobol, meaning stolen money originated form PM`s office. they called Hon Linton a liar, they got caught with the their pants down and said it was a mistake…..promised to pay back in two weeks, took them almost a year. A mistake…or thievery of public funds…..what would you say?
2.The Fertilizer bobol. In the civil service where I work, there are procedures for purchasing government stuff, so why is it a minister`s brother was involved in the purchase. A clear conflict of interest against government’s procedures.
3. The Red Clinic, an abuse of power and taking advantage of poor and vulnerable mothers, families and children. That is abuse of power and satanic. Where were you, why was your mouth and remains shut to this day?
There are lots more and every time I read your nonsense it is only Skerrits poor governance, weak government, corrupt government I think of and the many people who have suffered under…
Yes,i agree with you.
it is not only those who do it but those that have p,easure in it
Mr. Skerrit, how can you stand there and say that when you incite your political followers to call members of the opposition traitors, wherever they can find them. I shall be polite and merely say that your sincerity is hollow.
Body Language, Posture and Attitude makes a big difference. Make the comparison between the two LEADERS…..
, 
There is just one leader pertaining to this speech.An inept,and terrible one..Can you understand why I am always telling you to go to night school??
Yeah Kid, and I prefer the one I saw in Marigot a thousand times.
I love that, smarty.
The first person. 
Ou Di ou sort
Please the man don’t even have a neck anymore
Skerrit suferring from bi-polar disorder. Why then promote policemen who don’t know thier butt from thier face when they all in red campaigning (against the rules) and stiffle those eho speak against the wrong doing? Why do you hate lennox Linton and UWP members so much you call them traitors and ask your followers to harras them? The only obligation public servants have is to the rules and legislation that governs thier task. In other words a PS or any civil servant can refuse an order from any government official if they are asked by government to do stuff not mandated by law or against the law. Example the police cannot search a man house on the order of the PM unless he has a warrant issued by the courts. Note, even civil servants can break the laws in execution of duties. Civil servants obligation is to serve the public however in situations like the red clinic civil servants are not obligated to take part since this is a party fraud and not mandated by parliament. There are…
countless examples. Skerrit thinks he can come with his stupid speech and once he invoke christianity and God in there that makes it gospel. I will repeat, civil servants obligation is the law or constitution nothing else. The NEP is overnight politics, tablets is overnight politics. You skirt the welfare department set up by parliament, you disrespect our constitution, and now talking about obligation. Skerrit nothing you say at this point is credible because your public utterance, your deeds, your aspirations, and 16 years of BS leaves little to be desired.
it would be so nice if he did his work without thinking of what party you support.
Speak for and about yourself. Some of you do a lot of that; too much of it. As I have observed, hardly a comment without placing Party and politics, even the color in it which could be boring.
How about practicing what you preach. How about providing the same level of service to every citizen, every tax payer, regardless of their political affiliations? How about that sir?
Please tell the people of Marigot when they will have their hospital back!
It seems no one is exempt from that; not even you. to practice what you preach.
Is it only the people of Marigot hospital? What about the people of Wesley and other neighboring areas? Hope when the new hospital will be constructed, those who are eager for a new one to be constructed will be patriotic and help in whatever manner they can.
Too late. The apple rotten already.
There are many beginning with you .
It’s always the people who need to be lectured on how to behave, and politicians love taking on spiritual guru’ roles, yet they fail miserably in delivering resources to alleviate poverty and the frustration that accompanies it. Biblical references will NEVER cure the problems of society, but understanding God and his Son, Jesus and their plans can impel us to do better. Jesus taught us to be practical and compassionate in everything, because being governed by laws, like the Government imposes, sometimes causes more harm than good.
