Opposition calls for government of national unity

Section of a UWP meeting held on Thursday night

The opposition United Workers Party (UWP) has continued its call for the resignation of Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit and has suggested the appointment of a government of national unity.

Speaking at a public meeting in Roseau on Thursday night, Opposition Leader, Lennox Linton, said that government would manage for a period of time, the affairs of Dominica for all Dominicans.

He said the call come against the background of what he said are corrupt practices by the Prime Minister.

“We will no longer stand for it. We want Roosevelt Skerrit to go,” Linton said. “We want his cabinet colleagues to leave their ministerial portfolios and to go along with him.”

He laid out the tasks of the government of national unity which he stated should be appointed through a constitutional process.

“We want that interim government of national unity appointed through a constitutional process, to put a commision of inquiry into how our Citizenship by Investment program is running,” he stated.

He stated the new government should criminalize the sale of Dominica’s diplomatic passport.

“We want that interim government of national unity to criminalize the sale of Dominica’s diplomatic passports and the use of diplomatic passports for facilitating criminal activity around the word,” he stated.

Linton pointed out that the new government should also look at electoral reform.

“We want that interim government of national unity to ensure that all arrangements are concluded for electoral reforms in this couuntry to include ID cards for voting, to incude a clean accurate list of voters, to include access to all media in Dominica, to include law enforcement action against bribery, treating and illegal oversea voting to include campaign finance reform,” he said.

Linton stated that the government of Dominica cannot be in the hands of what he described as ‘rogues and criminals.’

“And that is where Roosevelt Skerrit wants us,” he noted. “Our government cannot be supervising the deepening and the widening of poverty in Dominica, our government must stand for what is good in us and what is best in us and the government has to lead by example in ensuring the greatest good for the greatest number. That is what we stand for, that is what we are committed to and that is what we will do when we get into the government of Dominica.”

The Roseau public meeting was one of two held by the UWP on Thursday. The first was held at the Pottersville Savannah.

The meetings were held after Police Chief, Daniel Carbon, refused to give the party permission to hold a march through Roseau.

    Reading some of these comments here “alas…”
    Dominican consistently keeps focusing on the “messenger” and keep missing the “message”
    Dominicans are emotionally driven instead of logically driven… so much for critical thinking, it’s about “who they like.”

    BTW… lucky for the island that Linton went on CBS because it gave rise to all these town hall meetings and the offloading of CBI funds.

    Lennox Linton must first tell the public domain under what section of the Dominiça Constitution he read what he is asking for.He must also tell the Public the date of the planned overthrow,/Coup De Tan,he should also be the first one to be charged and give himself /surrender himself and his Diplomatic passport for the criminal activity I.e using the same Diplomatic passport to steal his way thru to Guyana as Deputy Leader of the Heads of state conference,falsely using the vehicle to be transferred to the hotel ,and when he was told that his name wasn’t on the list of dignitaries,to be at the hotel ,he blamed the staff of the foreign affairs,then he has been so embarrassed , although the receptionist attempted to find somewhere else for him he refused and said he will find his way .

    There is one more thing the interim Govt has to do is to find out why the former Prime Minister went to Switzeland, how much money the party received and the names of the person on the checks this alleged moneies went. I notice that the leadership of thwe UWP is stay far away from this one. For PM to go we need to now who was promised diplomatic passport by eddison chenfoul james. Until such time Pm will only go in allu dreams.People should work hard for their money but the leadership holding radiothon. Lenox will bring allu poor sackway sot. That what you get when your leader acts like a dictator even before getting power. Espwa Mal papay. Chew on this.

    Sorry… Linton are you suggesting we suck out the Red poison and digest a Blue toxin instead?

    What do you know of Unity? You suggested that we riot, should you lose, around the end of the previous election… Your Mouth is your problem.

    If someone else is to be the Opposition leader, maybe I would consider UWP… but not with that idiot.

    Labour… you have failed this country… how do you comply… save the BS, we have heard enough.

    Freedom, do not come back!!! Traitors…

    And any foreigners (Diaspora too) do not even think about it… You are living the nice life in your foreign, not Dominican, countries so you do not know or have an idea of our true troubles…

    For all we know you are just another money-grubbing group…

      We just accept their ways as common standards, while they feed us their BS through social media.

      Dominica has ALOT of potential… our people need to look past differences like politics. Look at the countries of the East. eg Finland, Slovenia… these people couldn’t care for race, they work in unstressed environments, Politicians need the OK of the general public before making a move. women and men have truly equal rights (not the wash up version, where femnists cause women to have more rights than men).

    It’s all well and good for an interim government, but that government should not make any permanent policy changes. As a caretaker government, it may only chart the course for towards general elections. It must not criminalize the sale of diplomatic passports, but it may suspend it. New criminalization of acts should be for the next duly elected government. That government should engage politicians from both sides as well as various interests in formulating laws and policies. It can take remedial action re new elections, remedies which may be codified by the next elected government.

    Why would Dominica need a government of national unity because the UWP does not believe they can win an election? What is happening in the country except the UWP wanting to create problems? The wishes of the majority of Dominicans should be ignored for the minority? All the problems we have, if any is being created by the UWP.

    They cannot even come up with something original. They want a government of national unity which we had once because the majority wanted it because of the situation and turmoil we were in at that time in our history. We do not have that problem with our government and country. The UWP is the one causing all the problems. Who would be the PM or members in that Unity Government? The present Leader of the Opposition and the UWP surrogates? Those who want to push themselves on the people?

    Win a General Election and become PM that is the only way. We live in a Democracy we vote in our PM and Representatives. Skerrit Must To Go On.

    Linton, the Skerrit Must Go not working, find another strategy. Because if you think that your little chanting can shake the PM you better wheel and come again. We will reject you at every turn!

      Lennox Linton is paranoid and mentally sick. when that man speaks, he claim to speak on behalf of the people of Dominica. Linton fails to realize that the Dominica labour party got well over 60 percent of the votes over the past three elections. No amount of ranting and raging by this angry mentally deranged man will force this prime minister and government out of office. Linton will keep bringing his three to five hundred people to the streets but the work of the country will go on unabated. May I remind linton that the labour party is a mean political machine and when the engine starts, all these jokers will step aside. Skerrit has retired Eddison, ron green, earl Willaims and linton will be just another statistic. That desire lennox linton has to become prime minister will remain just a fleeting illusion. The people has voted in a government and at the right time we will return to the polls. No amount of protest and meetings will take the labour party out of office.

    To form a Government of National Unity in a constitutional manner as proposed by the Leader of the Opposition, Lennox Linton must first find a minimum of five DLP elected Parliamentarians to join with the six of the Opposition to write to the President of the Commonwealth of Dominica indicating that Roosevelt Skerrit no longer controls the support from the majority of elected parliamentarians.

    Alternatively he may table a vote on no confidence in the House and have the said five DLP elected parliamentarians vote in favour of the vote of no confidence along with the UWP six.

    How Lennox Linton going to get that feat I cannot comprehend. I guess he will get Reggie Austrie on his side, HAHAHAHA.

    This is in my view another piece of hot air coming from Lennox Linton in his foolish arrogant style or is this a form of mental illness on the part of LL.

      Thanks for the education in Constitutional coup d’tat. I wonder if Lennox is bright enough to understand or know that that’s what he is implying with his call for Skeritt to go.

      Lennox! It is not by fiat you accomplish your wish.

      Understand folks, sinister plan is at hand to undermine. Lennox et al know that it is time to pay up. Henly and Partners is demanding pay back for years of financial support and UWP promise to cede control of the CBI to them. Time to deliver his soul for the devil and Lennox is desperate.

Who is more ” two-tongued” Linton or Skerrit? Rissa, please be balance in you approach to politics, it will do you much good. Just being a “poto” Labourite or Workers won’t help.

  23. March 31, 2017

    The continued call for Skeritt to resign based on allegations of wrong doings is nonsense. Are any of the potential candidates both in Government and opposition better than Skeritt? Can we find among our politicians one that has not told a lie, morally transgressed or broken the law? What are the qualifications to be a politician or Prime Minister? Is it that candidates for these positions must be perfect in all respects. As we listen to the various radio station we hear operatives of the political parties playing acrobatics with the truth trying to score political points, we accept that as part of the process, but when one starts to believe political propaganda as truth we are in trouble. Is the opposition also going to bar Skeritt from running for office. If the Leader of the oppossition is concerned about the damage he claims Skeritt is doing to Dominica why doesn’t he offer to resign if Skeritt resigns, what are the skill sets of Mr. Linton that will make him a better leader?

      Anon: It is not enough to criticize one party over the other or making one parties remarks more of propaganda than the other. We have clearly seen despicable attitudes from both sides in terms of how they handle the political back and forth. My fellow Dominican, can you hold a neutral view to simply judge the state of the Nature Island and the progressive trend or lack thereof? Do this and encourage others to do the same: Take stock on why it is necessary to be so secretive about the state of the affairs of Dominica. Evaluate the distribution of funds and see if this is the best use of resources. Report on the state of Dominica post Erika. Evaluate from the perspective of a concerned citizen, the fiscal responsibility of the government. Without Bias, do you believe the people of Dominica deserve better? Do you believe a small country like Dominica deserves to be in the same conversation when the UN general assembly speak of nations that violate UN sanctions? Take the high ground

    A Government of National Unity is a good idea. However, I would suggest that the different political fractions need to come together with positions, plans, policies and strategies, all worked out, before the formation of such a government. It is always better to dwell in unity than to divide and rule. To divide and rule is antithetical to a country’s progress.

    • March 31, 2017

      @Ibo France, what is happening in Dominica that requires a government of national unity? What I see is a disgruntled opposition hungry for power and wants to dictate from the sideline how Government should govern. Things in Dominica are not perfect but it never was, as far as Lennox and the UWP is concerned the only thing wrong with Dominica is that Roosevelt Skeritt is Prime Minister. The leader of the opposition said it best ….his party cannot wait for the next election for change to happen. He did not say Dominicans.

      I recommend as interim PM a well distinguished, imminent social worker reputable in governance and nation building of our children and families. There are retired stalwarts in agro industry and agriculture whom is trust worthy and a real patriot. There is also well versed auditor, magistrate and all round individual civil servant. So, a team can be build and this interim government must not serve more than two years, with specific tasks in preparing for election and having the electoral list cleaned.

    How does the Opposition form a Government of National Unity without the other unity partners? UWP is handling this situation so stupidly, if they continue on that path Skerrit’s dream for Dmitri will become a reality. How can the UWP organize an activity of that type and leave out the Freedom Party and other stakeholders with whom they intend to form the Government of National Unity?
    Skerrit is at a Town Hall meeting every night dishing out millions of Dollars, with live broadcast on DBS, KAIRI FM, FACEBOOK and gets the news headline every morning on Q95 and Marpin and DIGIplay in the evening, while UWP IS HOOKED on Q for a few hours.
    Without Matt and Q95, UWP would not be heard anywhere. UWP has 17000 supporters, this is not enough to move Skerrit. Come on Lennox don’t let the crowd fool you, this will not shake Skerrit and his millions, you need a SMART strategy. How can I help? Skerrit is laughing and I’m blue vex.

    Interesting, yesterday you wanted another DLP leader to take over after Skerrit go, now, you want Government of national unity. Your dishonesty will continue to show, your desperation will be known by all.

    Due to pure greed, national unity is over.I have never seen such evil sentiments towards eat other in Dominica and I am over fifty years old.My mother is almost one hundred years old she also thinks the same.People use all sorts of communication means to insult each other because others are not supporting the same political party.If you are not supporting the ruling party you are refused help by the gov’t.Where is the unity? When a political leader is demanding that his supporters throw words at the people who support the opposition party; what do you expect?While this same leader thinks that everyone who supports the opposition party is a criminal.Now the next election campaign is based on charity.Political meetings always existed now the UWP is refused permission to keep a meeting because it will put the public in danger.Who does this PM want to fool? Skerrit must go in order for Dominica to progress so that our kids may have a good future.I’m neither UWP nor Labour.Concerned…

      Well said my friend, I am with you and it is also a shame that you stand a risk of losing your Job if you speak out about the government. The police still not getting paid, ask them when their last raise was, but they support this corruption. I support Dominica 100% but I don’t support the brutal, undemocratic stance taken by the sitting government. Democracy of one ruling party suppressing the opposition is not a Democracy. A so called Democracy where money is being dished out without accounting or oversight at the benefit of supporters is not a Democracy. When a democratic society is bold enough to harass and arrest leaders of the opposition without credible evidence, democracy is on life support.
