Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit says he is baffled by a letter written by a local businessman calling for the disclosure of Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Dominica and China.
Businessman Jerry Brisbane has written China’s ambassador to Dominica Wang Zonglai asking him to disclose contents of the MOU between the two countries.
In the letter Brisbane said the Dominican people have no details about the level of non-political preconditions relevant to China’s interest in Dominica.
But Prime Minister Skerrit told the Next Level radio program that government has already made the document public.
He is accusing Brisbane of attempting to stall the projects currently being funded by the Chinese government.
“We read out the MOU in the parliament. I am totally baffled as to what it is that he wants. This guy is trying to create all kinds of problems for us. It is foolish for anyone to pretend as if China doesn’t exist,” Skerrit said.
Oh! I get it. The MOU is a MOO MOO.
Jerry Brisbane’s face looks haggard and tired. He should go on a long holiday.
Jerry, when last you had a holiday, free from the cares of your business and Dominica? It appears to me that you need one. Life is short.
THE STONE THE BUILDER REJECTS WILL BE THE HEAD OF THE CORNER STONE
you guys are so foolish Jerry is right, why can’t we know what is Dominica giving to get what we are getting. please the PM never thought that somebody would step up to the plate.Dominica is our own we must know how much we are giving away ,to get what we are getting.
the PM has to many secret hiding ,it’s time that we know what is going on. and some of his people don’t care to question him, all they know what when he gets it he will share. it between them self,and give the rest to the labor supports.
POWER ,MONEY, SEX.and GREED are the 4 words that are destroying the world, and it is rampaging in our Governments.
it was time somebody step up. am very happy Jerry keep doing what you are doing. cause our government is dunking in power and need some strong man like Jerry to medicate them .they need TO GO TO JAA MEETINGS. HE WILL FIX THEM UP.
go read de bible and u will know what is being said children have to make children .u all neg.da plp forget what u all were saying bout p/chales n rosie .
‘I am totally baffled as to what it is that he wants. This guy is trying to create all kinds of problems for us’. Mr. Skerrti shouldn’t that statement be: ‘This guy is trying to create all kinds of problems for ME, MY BOYS and GIRLS’? You have reportedly done quite well personally with this Chinese connection Mr. PM.
Jerry please keeps on doing what you are doing. God bless you and most of all they cannot do anything to you. The world is watching. Your courage is admirable.
Yes I do and u are just a big retard. Hope that answers your question.
Dominicans should be grateful to the Chinese for taking pity on us. We have nothing to offer them, apart from our loyalty and cheap labour, but they have much to offer us. Let’s learn the Chinese National Anthem and thank of our masters for all their kindess to us.
Here is the Chinese National Anthem in English. Learn it and become good citizens of the greatest country on earth:
Arise, ye who refuse to be slaves!
With our flesh and blood, let us build our new Great Wall!
The Chinese nation faces its greatest danger.
From each one the urgent call for action comes forth.
Arise! Arise! Arise!
Millions with but one heart,
Braving the enemy’s fire.
March on!
Braving the enemy’s fire.
March on! March on! On!
Arise, ye who refuse to be slaves;
With our very flesh and blood
Let us build our new Great Wall!
The peoples of China are in the most critical time,
Everybody must roar his defiance.
Arise! Arise! Arise!
Millions of hearts with one mind,
Brave the enemy’s gunfire,
March on!
Brave the enemy’s gunfire,
March on!
March on!
March on, on!
To all those who looking for MOU :
Is all you DIASPORA that want to run the country by remote control! All you just hearing what you want to hear. Maybe if you were down here and took the time to read the Chronicle you would not be so ill advised and uninformed to make such idiotic statements.
“”The MOU was published on the front page of the Chronicle newspaper on 29 April 2005 and continued on page 11B. It is there for all to see. It was broadcast and read out in parliament. Six years ago! “”
If what you saying has an iota of truth maybe it needs to be upgraded to become current and be twitted to suit the current reality of what’s happening on th ground.Chinese are black mailing our Gov’t and as these guys are so greedy they selling out or have for a few pices of silver. there in lies the heightened awareness Jaco. Jaco are you being subsidized by the RED Clinic?
Jaco, I’ve not had the privilege of reading the Chronicle 0f 29 April, 2005 but no doubt someone will find a way of reproducing it soon. With regard to running the country by remote control it appears to the people living in Dominica that Mr. Skerrit is doing exactly that, given that he increasingly is more “out of state” than present in the country, with an “acting” P.M. installed in his place.
For me that whole thing about the MOU being issued out or not is not the real problem here. Though I am not a labourite or a fan of the PM but I would be ignorant to say that I am not seeing Development in my country.
However I think that our PM needs to be lot more humble than this he needs to understand that he doesn’t work for himself or we don’t work for him but he works for us. Is our tax money that paying him. If a concerned citizen is worried about what is going on in his country he shouldn’t be going on poll pit and pulling triggers.
A simple message like this would suffice
I am aware that there is concerned about the MOU between the republic of China and Dominica.. though the MOU have been posed out 6 years ago I would post it once more on the governments website… (or at least state where it can be found) to relieve any form of disbelief or suspicions.
He shouldn’t be out triggering a verbal violence.
yes, those people are Dominicans who make a significant financial contribution to Dominican’s economy, unlike heartless henry de bajan who determines everything which takes place in Dominica.
where did Dominicans come from…why dont they go wash the PM feet..
dominica is a waste element with a bunch of educated fools..thats a FACT!
we should all be happy that someone thats not afraid of being victimised could publicly Stand up and demand accountability and transparency from the Government. It also very sad that poor tax paying individual would want to turn a blind eye againts the issues of transparency and accountability just because their party is in power.
When UWP was in power we heard the cries of curruption . Today you have people coming on DNO publicy stating (as i read under previous articles), that talking about corruption can’t help the development of dominica . this is so Dunce!
I say the main duty of any opposition is to hold the government of the day accountable . we should be thankful for that because the normal tax paying individual don’t pay a close attention to whats really going on until the year of an election.
skerro think before you speak how is jerry causing a problem,he is just an ordinary citizen looking out for his country,no one knows what deal you have made with the chinese.
that’s so so true. Dominicans Open your eye this is no joke. before we become another Cuba, or Libya .let Jerry ask the question and listen.
Jerry is at it again. He is trouble in the making and continues to stir up trouble for the Prime Minister.
All of you who oppose what the Prime Minister stated and applaud Jerry Brisbane, think again and put on your thinking cap. Some of you applaud wrong-doings rather than right-doings. I often wonder what type of minds and mentality some of you possess. Little minds and limited ones I suppose.
It depends whose side you are on. In this case you are not being fair and just. You are blinded and cannot see what Jerry is up to and what he is doing to the Prime Minister of Dominica and to you, Dominican residents. God will hold you accountable for this.
The Prime Minister deserves respect and should be accorded same. He has done much more for Dominica than any Prime Minister of Dominica has ever done. Give him the credit that he deserves. He is also worthy of gratitude.
Some of us have a sixth sense and can think beyond which takes mortal and spiritual enlightenment.
The manner in which I look at this issue is that Jerry is not the Prime Minister of Dominica. He is acting as if he is.
As the opposition, he should not take it upon himself to write China’s Ambassador to release information about the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Jerry is jumping the gun.
To begin with this Ambassador is not obligated to respond to Jerry since he is not the DA Prime Minister and does not have the authority that the Ambassador should respond to him.
This is not the first time that Jerry has written to some authority. Recall what he did last year. Jerry is an obstruction to the welfare and well-being of Dominica and its nationals.
I do think that Jerry should step down from his position and allow a qualified and experienced person to assume this duty.
Jerry is not operating in the interest of Dominica and its nationals but in his own interest. He is a trouble-maker. His main purpose is tearing down and destroying rather than building-up and always opposing the Prime Minister. Envy would do it.
I would never support or vote for Jerry. A man as he should never become a Prime Minister. Jerry lacks peace. Since he lacks it, he is unable to contribute to the betterment of Dominica, peace and harmony in Dominica and between its nationals.
Jerry, get on with the business of serving Dominica and building it up. This is what Dominica and its nationals require.
For God’s sake, let there peace in Dominica and let it begin with you, with me and with us – all Dominicans, wherever we reside.
God’s blessing, love and peace to all.
Sorry! I made an error referring to Jerry Brisbane as the opposition. However, Jerry is again out-of-his place and has stepped out of his bounds to write the Chinese Ambassador. I reiterate that the Chinese Ambassador is under no obligation to respond to Jerry, he who is not the Prime Minister of Dominica and who did not appoint him to this post. As members of the public, some people must know their places and know what they can do and say and what they cannot do and say.
They must also have respect for authority as they expect others to do likewise to them.
St. Paul told us to: “Respect authority…” It is in the Bible as some of you are quick to emphasize that this and that are in the Bible and not in the Bible, when criticizing the faith of others. If you are not practicing, “obedience to authority”, you have sinned, against God Himself. Your actions give you away.
I am making you aware that “Pink is my color” ever since I was a child. I LOVE PINK!
I do know that some of you are not pleased with what I stated because you are on the side of Jerry Brisbane. God knows who you are and your thoughts as imbedded in your hearts which come through the computer keyboard and the Internet to this Website. You are not on the side of fairness, justice and truth and practicing same.
It does not matter to me. Being a fair and just person, I have spoken the truth. This is what makes me stand up for what which is correct to say and do and makes me happy and peaceful in so doing. Thanks be to God.
I will always speak the truth and stand up for what is correct to state amidst objection and persecution. This is what Our Lord Jesus Christ wants us to do, for primarily His Name’s sake and for those who are constantly harassed, demeaned and unjustly spoken against. I can never deviate from my personality and characteristic traits as granted to me by God Himself. I am making good use of the talents which He has lovingly granted to me.
y u don’t shout the f…..k up and stop calling god name in your mouth.u sound so f…..king bias . how the f…k callling for transparency is making trouble or means that someone wants to discontinue the projects.
was the original MOU tabled in paliarment ( whats the colour of the cover ) .was the entire document in the news papers ( how many pages does the documnet contains) . Was the document entered into the government Gazette .
Your eyes is so f…king red . u are confused.
Don’t you know that mitigating corruption, improving transparency and accountability will all aid to the development of the country u pretend to love so much
maybe u singing for ur dinner.
every single dominican welcom the projects but we are all concerned as to what cost are we getting the assistance. everything has a cost . Did Skeritt educate us back then , and get the nation ready for the competition from the influx of chinees companies .
i am sure it took all of you ignorant fool by suprise . was this part of the MOU .
nuff . i do apologise for the explicit but i vex.
Those who call the name of God are on the side of God – not on the side of the devil as you are and utilizing four letter word. Not a nice person I will call you. Your heart and mind need to be transformed.
Your views do not represent mine and others and vice versa. Therefore, allow people to comment without insulting them. You are not on the side of peace and justice. Do you not know that those who stir up trouble cause trouble.
Respond but do so respectably.
The government of Dominica has a website and consequently they could quell this controversy by placing the MOU on that site just like the case of the US.
http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2009/july/126592.htm
You are not very bright, are you?
Why can’t the government place the MOU on their website just like the US did on the website above? The example above specifically refers to climate change, however I see no problem in following that pattern since the PM and others have stated that it has already been published.
So are you that you cannot comprehend the sense of the writing.
educated fool, i suspect is charlo that hiding behide this truth justice love peace and unity…
u ungodly fool please think before you write remember who kill Jesus and how much man hated him talking about respect who do skro respect when there is no law and no constitution to stop him. so please tell your self and not us how to think and how to feel.
Just like Donald Trump wanted proof that Obama is AMERICAN by BIRTH…so to do Dominicans want proof of what’s contained in the MOU. SMH!!!!!
I read through online research, not DNO, that the MOU was printed in the Chronicle when it was first signed. Can anyone disprove that fact, or the fact that it was read in Pariliament?
I would think that if the document was made public since it was formalised, then it’s not the fault of the government if the people fail to educate themselves when they should have.
Further…. if it was made public, it can be found very easily …. so I do not see the need for the government to defend itself against an allegation of failing to inform the public, about a publicly available/ made document.
If it is true that this document was and is available…then i do not see the need for Jerry to cry foul that Dominicans do not know the content esp if the CONTENT, IS IN BLACK AND WHITE!!!!!!!!!!!!
This MOU was signed soooooo many years ago, yet it is only NOW that Dominicans want to know it’s content – years later when China is almost done fulfilling it’s part of the agreement. What’s the use now? Will you guys give China back everything?????? Will you guys stop enjoying the benefits of the things Chinese made? I’m lost as to why yrs later people now want to contest what was and has been available?
What is the intent of NOW??? It’s the same MOU as it was years before, yet noone complained or made a hoopla about wanting its contents questioned!!!!
Dominicans have been asking about this MOU for a very long time. If I recall the government did put something out there however everyone knew that the document was fixed. Members of parliament admitted that the publicized document was fake.
The government must realize that though many Dominicans still remain ignorant the intelligencia has grown. Show us the real document because the fake MOU did not include duty free concessions for Chinese buisnesses or invetors whereas Dominica own buisnesses are in extinction.
Edward Oliver Le Blanc is reputed to have said: “Domnichen ni memoir poule, yo ka ombliyay vit”. Dominicans have the memory of chickens. They forget quickly.
When I read the nonsense in these comments about secrecy about the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the government of China, I have to say the same thing.
The MOU was published on the front page of the Chronicle newspaper on 29 April 2005 and continued on page 11B. It is there for all to see. It was broadcast and read out in parliament. Six years ago! Is Skerrit supposed to repeat it for you all every month?
Skerrit suppose to present the real MOU. Not a made up one .
some not all because i don’t and you don’t
A citizen request transparency from the government and he is accused of ” trying to create all kinds of problems for us.”
How is asking a question trying to create problems for us? If you have nothing to hide, provide an answer to the question.
That’s called democracy! God bless Dominica!

PM Skeritt, Dominicans do not like to read or listen to parliament. We only listen to slander from troublemakers who want to make money and remain rich in the Canefield Area. They’re afraid that the Infrastructural and economical devepment will surpass that of the rest of the region.
Reflect on how Dominica was and then now, I have seen the vast improvement and thats because of our close connecting ties and friendship with strong moral countries in the world. Many of our islandshave benifitted from these countries, and these are the same islands that we all wooow and think highly f when we visit them.
Jerry is trying to destroy all relationshp that Dominica has with friendly governments for who? for us to go begg USA? Acountry who is on the verge of starting the next world war?
JERRY U CANNOT FOOL DOMNICANS, I DONT CARE WAT THEY SAY.
Well Mr. Lance I would like to mention that Mr. Brisbane have provided a service and employment to Dominicans decades. And we all know that Mr. Skerrit is hiding a few things from us..if not then why can’t he just answer things he is accused of? Mr. Lance do you care about Dominicans? their are people who can’t get jobs because the chinese are taking them. Is it because Dominicans lazy? No its because nothing is offered to us. Stadium..Airport…Roads…none offered to us. and you sit der and act like nothing is wrong..bloody foool!!
China is currently the worlds leading economic power.
The USA cooporate with China. The EU cooporate with China. Russia cooporates with China. Canada and Australia cooporate with China. India and Japan cooporate with China. The UN cooporates with China. All devolping nations cooporate with China.
Unlike the USA or the UK, China traditionally does not interfere in the inner affairs of its partners, but keeps its commitment on a strictly business level.
Business with China could be a great asset to Dominica and other Carribean States.
As you can see, few people are in support of you and your position on this issue.
Why do you continue to disregard the people. It is becoming clear, that the people of Dominica mean nothing more to you than political gain.
Everyone I talk to shares these sentiments, but you do not seem concerned.
No matter! You will be out of office one day, and the legacy you leave behind, will live with you (good or bad).
Before it is all over Dear PM……try to do good by the Dominican people. The MOU request is getting louder. Soon there will be noise from all directions, on many issues.
Our time on this earth is so short, is saddening that you choose this road to walk, but there is still time and hope for positive change.
Do the right thing by your people!
wait i dont get it? Work is being done, that will be very beneficial to us , the MOU was presented Other Caribbean Nations are also being helped by China, (my people just Making Noise about what we are getting) something is wrong…. we lack something, Maybe WISDOM?
Yes Me you are so correct. We lack something and that something is the wisdom more of it to demand or go to the P.M’s office and and take both he and the MOU out of the office.
So you are 1/2 correct. i pray you share yours(wisdom with your compatriots.In the process the wisdom becomes complete. There will be total wisdom, the MOU and it will benefit us (you) for helping us all. You working slowly for your country keep it up share the W.
mr prime minister when and where was this copy made public? we dominicans may seem foolish but sorry we are not foolish all the time. mr PM wants us to believe that mr brisbane’s letter is causing confusion to the development but mr pm you are wrong. the people ought to know whats going on with these foreign affairs issues. it is our business to know. someone has to speak up at least not for himself but on our behalf. i applaud mr brisbane’s effort to have this set of secretive guys speak up and disclose the business affairs of the people. yes politics is a business, likewise business is politics so whenever they meet its trouble. this time i think that mr skerrit must come clean.from the tone of his voice and the sudden mumbling one can easily detect he’s not coming clean. put the pressure on mr brisbane, there are many on your side.
Skerritt is suffering from NARCISSISM. My fellow Dominicans, do you all know that there are some leaders who would deliberately tell a lie but really believe he is speaking the truth? Skerritt accusing Jerry of attempting to stall the projects currently being funded by the Chinese? Jerry must be powerful like hell. How could Jerry stall those projects. Is Jerry who has the money NUH?
On the other hand, all Dominicans know by now who is STALLING, not trying to stall, BUT STALLING the request/recommendation by the INDEPENDENT ELECTORAL COMMISSION to produce VOTER ID CARDS and TO CLEAN UP THE VOTERS’ LIST. Who has refused to give the Commission the $$$$$ to do their work? Every Dominican KNOWS who is STALLING ELECTORAL REFORMS. How could communities of PEOPLE, an entire NATION, BE TREATED with so much CONTEMPT and DISRESPECT? Dominicans have been begging, pleading to their Govt. for years for ELECTORAL REFORM just as they have been continually begging and pleading for the MOU. BUT TO NO AVAIL. The RULER says NOTHING DOING, NO Electoral Reform, NO MOU. What HIGH-HANDEDNESS !!!!!!!
when all you run all investor from dominic, ihope jerry will be able to sustain dominica.
Where are all the investors?b
I I don’t understand this obsession with voter ID cards. On Monday, May 2, 2011 was the general election in Canada and I took my nephew who is 19 and never voted before, never registered to vote and yet he was able to vote with just showing his drive license.
We don’t need to spend additional funds for ID cards when persons already have identification that can be used for verification. Put the money to something more useful. Implementing ID cards would be a huge waste of time and funds.
Who cares about the voting process in Canada. At least your nephew had a drivers license which is a valid ID. Upon attaining your drivers license in North America one is given the opportunity to register as voter- note that if you are not a citizen you can’t vote.
The question is did Dominicans at home and abroad present a valid ID during the election.I didn’t. I just voted because my name was on the list.
@ for yourself. Rightly said , you do not understand. You may never understand, because you cannot see the link between Voter ID cards, cleaning up the bloated voters’ list and ensuring FREE and FAIR elections in Dominica. Times have changed. Fraud is showing its UGLY HEAD. Dominica now has an ILLEGAL leader because of his Dual citizenship status which is against the Law. Yet that politician remains Leader although an illegal act was committed. After the 2009 General Elections, petition was filed in the courts against that illegality. 15 months have passed, but that matter, which should be dealt with expeditiously by the court as the Law states, cannot be resolved. Not even a date has been set to begin preliminary hearings. So there remains a major constitutional problem as to who is Dominica’s true Leader. It seems you may be further obsessed with those facts. You should be obsessed and seriously concerned that there are two sitting Parliamentarians in Govt. who are there illegally due to their dual citizenship status. How comes it is the issue of provision of Voter ID cards that troubles you?
Well Mr PM, if it was read in parliament as you say, how or where can one obtain a copy?
Seems that was a parliament meeting in darkness and behind closed doors, because i did not hear about any MOU.
I smell a rat
you smell yourself
it is silly people loke you thatt will TRY stop the progress of development
what will you do when you read the said document???
If copies of the signed MOU have already been presented or released, many Dominicans from across the political spectrum were unaware of this and therefore have been requesting a copy. Dominicans, through articles in the two major local newspapers, publications on DNO, popular talk shows, political meetings and citizens’ fora, have been asking to see the contents of the MOU. Government has not come forward over the past five years to address the concerns and requests of the public until now.
It would be most helpful to the Public to put a copy of the signed MOU on government’s website so that it can be read and reviewed by all concerned. Copies of the signed MOU can also be sent to the media houses for their analysis and commentary on the document.
Mr PM, I have not heard you read out the MOU nor seen it anywhere. Please make unadulterated, electronic and hard copies available, because like Jerry, I need to know what was signed on my behalf
.
THIS IS DOMINICA MR PM, NOT COMMUNIST CHINA, VENEZUELA , CUBA OR LIBYA!! DON’T BE MISTAKEN SIR!! I THINK THAT YOU ARE A SMALL FISH TRYING TO SWIM WITH SHARKS IN SOME VERY DEEP WATER!!
The entire MOU was read in Parliament in April 2004. The entire MOU was printed on the front page of the Chronicle edition of April 29, 2005.
In April 2004 after a question from Frederick Baron the entire MOU was read in Parliament.
DNO please do the necessary research
They all know, dont wast you time.
Please…………………are you that naive?? the entire MOU was printed on the new chronicle on the said date? and even if it was…………….there is nothing wrong to ask for it to be made public again, since unlike you, most of us missed it.
The UWP was not interested in the contents of the MOU when it was released. They were more interested in embarrassing the PM by focusing on whether permission was granted from the Chinese for it’s release. The UWP cabal is simply the biggest joke in town.
All i want to know is what is the one china policy?is it a law? if so, have it been passed in paliarment?
or is it some secret clause in the MOU? because on many occasions you mention it,so please clarify
as for me, i don’t abide to laws that don’t exist.
As II understand it, the One-China Policy is the policy that Taiwan (The Republic of China) is legitimately a part of Mainland China (The Peoples Republic of China).
Here is a little background info:
Sometime in the early 1900’s the poor masses of China rose up against their rulers and fought a desparate ‘War of Liberation’ to free themselves from the tyranny of the then ruling class.
After about 20 years of bitter struggle, in the late 1940’s the Chinese ruling class lost the war and ran off with ALL of China’s riches to a Chinese island called Taiwan .
They took over Taiwan from the poor indigenous Taiwanese and chased the poor people to the remotest parts of that island, but even then Taiwan was part of China.
They used the Chinese riches to develop Taiwan, and now want to be independent of China and are pushing the fact that they cannot abide by the Communistic system of Mainland China.
The communist argument helps them to garner sympathy in some areas of the western world, but so far The United Nations have not recognized Taiwan as a country. Taiwan is still recorded as part of the Peoples Reppubic of China.
The Taiwanese established diplomatic relations with the poor nations that have a vote at the U.N. to garner support for them to be recognized; and Dominica among others who were receiving their assistance had to help make a case for them and vote in their favour and against China at the UN.
Mainland China is saying that in addition to the Taiwanese having robbed them of ALL their wealth and left them poor for decades, it is also trying to take away the island, Taiwan. So Mainland China will have none of that.
The say that there is only one China, and that Taiwan is part of it. Dominica and many other Caribbean islands have ascribed to that policy and so have the greater majority of the members of the United Nations..
That, as I understand it, is a simplified version of the One China Policy saga..
More so those passed in the dark or @nite eh Krytonite?
I’d not operate in the dark ,i might accidentally cut a very vital part that would make the patient(Dominica) blind and maybe cause a stroke as according to Dr.Jhonny C say during his reminder to us is national stroke week..And many in DA suffering fom elevated blood pressure by conclusion the nation is at high risk
It took almost10 years post 9-11to catch Bin Laden….there is hope Skerrit…..
According to Soul Puss…..”just as the longest rope comes to an end…so that evil works of evil men…bound to…soon to….come to an end.”
You can’t hide the truth from Dominicans always nor can you run for the rest of your life Roosevelt Skerrit……
I am praying and watching still….
Some Dominicians are so stupid. You all just upset me. you need the prayers. fool
All kinds of problems? ummm if you sign anything on the behalf of Dominica… problems should not be created….hmmmm disclose please, i’d like a copy, i’ll pay for it as a matter a fact
i want to know what is given in exchange for all these ‘gifts’
DOMINICA
Ask him Medard.Someone next year should compose a calypso : Ask Medard
Weh boi…to Me I doe Hear nutting Bout Dat??? Was This All Somone’s Dream?
Yes Mr Brisbane u causing the P.M pressure to raise very often. That’s good its not Skirrit contry for Skerrit to tell people he sighn a document with china and u cannot make it public. He can sell his soul if he want but not Dominica. So stop being a coward and make the MOU public
Again Mr Jerry Brisbane is showing that he is a REAL PATRIOT…Thousands of Dominicans are asking for this very important document to be made public, but the Prime Minister does not seem to understand what the people are demanding…Jerry must continue writing, because he has the support of many people…The Prime Minister must understand that every Dominican are not wrapped around his hand… WELL DONE jERRY !!!!!!!!!
Mr. PM you are keeping your MOU for you and your wooden Cabinet. It must hatch one day.
Do u people believe the chianman needs this rock. they are in 8 carribbean islands.
I want to knoww hat’s in the MOU too.
Please stop hating the messenger while ignoring the message. If there is nothing to hide in the MOU, then just do like Obama and present it to the people. Skerrit realize that he can no longer go about fooling the populace and get away scotch free. He needs to tell us when and where he presented the MOU or even a paragraph from it. I too am waiting to see what’s in it or else I won’t be voting for him and LABOUR again. Long live the truth
I hope that all the sewo people who voted for a freedom transplant in 2000-2009 have woken-up and are tasting not smelling le cafe-/coffee. Soon i trust they the Sewo people will vote for his imprisonment when the time comes
Whats Can Dominica Ever offer to China but Friendship. China Has Been A Great Blessing to Our Country, The Chinese Has invested Tremendously in Dominica over (5) years, Much more than the US or Europe.
China Would feel more appreciated if we were to stop questioning and accusing, We should rather thank them. Has Anyone ever write a letter to thank the Chinese.
MOU: It’s All About Business, Trade that is. China wants us to continue buying it products, so therefore they are pampering The Whole Caribbean.
lol ur so funny .. frendship in return for all that cash hmm you thinking really wise
Look like your brain was pampered by the filtered down Chinese& venezulean $$ thru the RED CLINIC so you join the choir singing praises to medard. And it should read has anyone written a letter bozo. When the time comes for change I hope you have your same mentality so you can easily and readily be identified. to join Medard et al at stock farm.
Skerrit said. “It is foolish for anyone to pretend as if China doesn’t exist” Now im totally baffled !
Me self wondering what was his point when he mentioned that it woud be foolish for anyone to PRETEND the CHINA DOESN’T EXIST?????
What does that have to do with the price of cocaine?? What does that have to do with the disclosure of the MOU????????
TOTALLY BAFFLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post it in it’s entirety sir. I am yet to have reviewed any part thereof.
” Mmmmmm, this guy is trying to create all kinds of problems for us. Is that how all kinds of problems are caused for the government by asking for disclosure of an MOU between Communist China and his country? Skerrit has spoken people, you be the judge.
I guess the oposition should have attended parliament. Then they would know if it was actually read or not. Just my thoughts
the oposition is not the people of dominica, because i want to know whats in it.
i couldn’t agree with you more
You all are missing the point I tried to make. I am hi king that if the opposition would go to parliament it would be more difficult for the government to hide anything, if they are. Thy could hold talks about those things. Because a gov cannot put everything it is doing out. If they were to do that then it would be more talk and less work.
It is indeed the opposition’s job to question funny stuff and make it known to the public. They act as the police on the gov. If they don’t, who will? Nobody will know what is going on. So for the people cheering the opposition to stay out o parliament, tell them to go and put pressure on the gov
WHY IS JERRY! JERRY! WHAT IS HE TRYING TO PROVE, I WANDER WHETHER IS BETER OR
IS IT WORST, JERRY BEFORE YOUR CAUSE ANY MORE TROUBLE WORK ALONG WITH
THE PM AND BE A GOOD COUNTRYMAN NOT A TROUBLE MAKER
Jerry is a good business man and he is on the right track you have your own opinions so why dont you believe we should know he is not causeing any problem whenever you ask Skeritt to explain he gets offended ” WHY” working together mean shearing everything the good and the bad and DOMINICANS have a right to know, Jerry loves his ISLAND and want the best and I dont know of any one in DOMINICA who would just sit back and allow another country to come and take over you must be crazy and CHINA’S hand ours come with a price no one gives anything for free
YOU ALL ARE VERY UNGRATEFUL
Hon Prime Minister, You are not the God of Dominica, Citizens do have the right to request information, Do you realise we are not in Venezeula, Cuba or Lybia, your close association with the boys seem to be impacting on you.
well said.
It was ready out in Parliament? When and where? I would like to review the transcripts of that meeting of parliament cuz I’m sure I didn’t hear any press coverage of that. Was it a secret meeting of the Parliament, behind closed doors?
Either you revealed the document or you didn’t…
Telll UWP to attend parliament and they will let the public know what is going on there.
4get the UWP all the citizens want to know “what the hell is going on?”
@ listen fool…..did you hear it being read yourself….???
So Um.. UWP have to attend parliament for the people of Dominica to know what is happening in their country?
Do you realize that Mr.Skerrit’s own Ministers in parliament have no idea what is on the MOU?
Do you really think he wants UWP and the Dominica public to know what is on it. If there is nothing to hide publish it with no problems and score points like Obama.
i wanted to know what was in the MOU and did my research and found out, it was quite easy to go to the library and look up the issue of the New Chronicle. i am no investigative journalist, and if it was easy for me, it should a piece of cake for the investigators. Instead, they make noises about it. i go further and venture to say that if/when it is made public again, other issues will arise like….. it is not the document, they lie……, etc, etc.
jerry wrote to the EU Commission, i am not sure whether they responded to him, however, some months later an EU representative ia here giving the governmnet kudos for the manner in which they spend the EU funds.
question: is the EU representative misleading the public?
You are just inadequate to sum it all up.
What a shameful rebuttal to Mr. Brisbane letter. In no way was the letter trying to derail the road project-it simply requested information
Voice from the Wilderness
Hey Mr. PM, Why continue to waste your breath on this madman and his kind. Just let the donkeys bray man!!
Gee you stole my point I agree with you 1000% they should change his name to Jerry Donald Trump Brisbane any thing to get attention.
i would say the same aboute u.
Brisbane selling 3 small potatoes in a bag for $3.89.
Grow your own potatoes. U do not have to eat potatoes. However, I would like to know what is going on with the Chinese. We do need the roads but we need to keep our country too.
True home girl. The issue at hand is which do we choose ? Can’t have both. You are not a kid in a cany shop.There’s no time and it is of the essence.
personally i’d keep my country. So the Chinese should leave us alone.
That’s my situation.What’s yours. you are getting an opportunity to be in the series Jersey shore.
Hope you are not Snooky lol
Mr.PM,do what Jah permit you to do, and ignore what is to be ignored.dem belly full but dey hungry according to his Honor,Marley.di yo foutay ou la paix et kitay ou twavay.
hey man my pm, i do not usually get political…. i think all leaders are basicLLY THE SAME, but but but…..skerro what you doing us there nuh….the west coast road resurfacing project…..don’t you think that was a total waste of time and money…..i mean that’s bad management man
you should see the way some of the chineese workers looked, i could tell waht they were thinking………i am ashamed to be associated with such a lousy project. yo should have left the road in it’s current state man…….
poor poor management man
Read it again or post the unadulterated MOU so we all can read it Mr PM. Be the better man and do the democratic thing and present the MOU. Mr PM you are not the only political leader refusing to present publically the MOU between the government they lead and the MOU. We all know why that is so . The very same reason why some of the government officials in Kenya are facing jail time and even the death penality. Desperate politicians will resort to desperate measures just to protect the lies they preach and the dirty money they receive.
Well it must have been a secret program because I still waiting to know what is in that MOU too. You just start to baffle.
Do you even know what is an MOU….?
