PM blasts Danny Lugay

Lugay's statement did not go down well with PM Skerrit
Lugay’s statement did not go down well with PM Skerrit

United Workers Party (UWP) Senator, Danny Lugay, has come under fire from prime minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, for statements he made at a UWP political meeting in Soufriere last week.

At the meeting Lugay said that that there are some people who “deserve to die” for keeping Dominica back.

“If I wasn’t a believer, I would take out some people in Dominica, you know,” he stated. “My heart is different and that is why I wouldn’t do it, but it have some people that deserve to die in Dominica. Honestly, when you see the sort of things that they do to keep back Dominica.”

Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Skerrit labeled the statements as “extraordinary” and “very serious”.

“I have both heard and read the statements by Lugay basically saying that if he was not a believer he would take out some people,” he stated. “We find this extraordinary that people would make this very brazen statement inciting violence against people and literally talking about killing people. At no time have you heard myself or any member of my party speak about violence or encouraging violence.”

Skerrit said Lugay’s statements should be condemned by all Dominicans, including supporters of the UWP.

“I find it extraordinary that they would have taken so much strong offence to Reggie Austrie’s reference to goat meat, and so forth, and a statement made by Danny Lugay, which is supported by Lennox Linton, they are encouraging and inciting violence,” he said. “Every single one of us, including the Dominicans who support the Workers Party, should condemn it.”

He noted further that his government is not taking the matter lightly and will do everything in its power to protect citizens of the island.

“It is not something that we are taking lightly, we have a responsibility to protect ourselves and to protect the citizens of Dominica and this government will do everything possible to protect ourselves and to protect the citizens of this country,” the prime minister said. “If men want to come and fight in elections come and do so with ideas, policies, programs, on achievements and aspirations …. that’s what we have been doing. Whenever you hear me speak as the leader of the party we speak about how we are going to advance and improve the way of life in this country.”

Prime minister Skerrit dismissed the members of the UWP claiming that they are simply “guys who recognize that everything they put forward has been rejected by the people.”

“The ideas and suggestions that they make, make no sense,” he said. “They have a leader who doesn’t understand what governance is, he doesn’t understand what it takes to run the country. You have a group of men who are seeking to get employed through these means and they are not getting traction and their only recourse is to preach violence.

Skerrit said he believes the police should question Lugay “on what are his plans because those statements are very serious statements.”

    I have no political affiliation in Dominica but when I heard lugay’s statement it makes me think some of the people governing the Island are some idiots, lugay said he is a believer but he needs to know as a man thinketh in his heart so is he and if Lennox agree with this statement he doesn’t deserve to be PM and if some fool go and do any thing stupid at a labor meeting lugay u can claim the blame cause u put it out there.

    I do not condone violence, but I can see Danny’s point. The man is putting country first and he truly desires to see Dominica move forward and prosper. His choice of words should have been more measured, given the fact that he’s a public figure. However, I do share is zeal for Dominican’s growth and development.

    “At the meeting Lugay said that there are some people who “deserve to die” for keeping Dominica back.”

    Whether, the apology is in order or not, Lugay’s comments may have some merits. I do not condone violence, however, I do not believe he was insinuating, or trying to insight, or influence violence, or suggesting that Dominican’s should go on a rampage eliminating the people in power, since they are the ones keeping Dominica, backwards.

    Nevertheless, I do believe that Dominica will not make any significant progress as long as many in this generation remains alive, these people will have to die by natural cause in order to prevent them from a never ending rush to be in Government, only to repeat the old do nothing! The policy of the Labor Party today is the same as it was long before the Prime Minister Skerrit was born.

    The labor party seems content with small things, unwilling seek bigger, and better things for the country. What they did at Melville Hall Airport, is a trademark of the mediocre mentality, let us be content, that is good enough for us; they have no vision.

    Why should a Barbadian, in the person of Hartley, or whatever his name dictates what goes one in Dominica, why should Ralph Gonsalves of St. Vincent dictate what goes on in Dominica, why should a nobody from the island of St.Kits dictate what goes on in our country?

    The government of Dominica will deny my comments in that regard, but it is true!

    The mentality of this government is something inherited, and will never change until the whole generation of politicians in the Labor Party are deceased in their grave; no question about that, and that is not suggesting that their demise should come by violence, what I am saying is Dominica, will change after they live their full life, become senile old and can no longer obstruct progress.

    I suspect in the political heat of the moment the words came out wrong, nevertheless the intelligent may have got his point.

    I got it loud and clear, and the man is right!

    Why didn’t Skerrit send some other people fron the party to have the press conference? I think that his presence to talk about this matter has turned it into a joke, because while it is EXTREMELY UNFORTUNATE, he is (according to other bloggers) NOT AN EXAMPLE, and i fully agree!

    Please people, this is not a statement that should come from the mouth of any politician and I say this as a strong supporter of the movement for change. We have heard very similar statements from Labour Party supporters and politicians on the animal show, nevertheless as I condemn it then I’ll condemn it now. I believe that lugay should make a public apology for this statement and that Linton should say something too.

  14. July 8, 2014

    “If I wasn’t a believer—-Mr Lugay may I ask what kind of a believer that you are claiming yourself to be? Because I am sure that you are not claiming to be a believer in God, for Jesus Christ, who is God’s person in flesh and bones cautioned us to love everyone–even our enemies; now take a look at your following comment below:

    I would take out some people in Dominica, you know,” he stated–Okay, that does not really mean anything in itself, because I would have to ask you what do you mean by “take out some people” But I didn’t have time to ask you, because you explained it below.

    “My heart is different and that is why I wouldn’t do it, but it have some people that deserve to die in Dominica—What kind of heart are you claiming to be different and different from what, for I know that the heart of a believer in God maintains the heart of Love?

    Are you claiming to have this heart of Love, while you are calling for lives of your people in Dominica, through death; don ‘t know you know that Jesus said: the moment it enters your mind and you continue to entertain–you have also done it.

    You may be a believer, but you are most definitely not the believer in the God whom I believe in, for He has commanded us, saying: “Thou shall not kill” Exodus 20: 13

    Sorry, but you said it yourself–you have claimed to be a murderer for as long as you have nurtured that thought in your mind when you said “some people in Dominica deserve to die”

    And by the way, I believe that that speech of yours may have spoken without “essence”; for the language is too childish from a man who hopes to have a chair at the house of parliament as part of the ruling Government–Lord have mercy for our Dominica

    lugay may have said this in Anger or frustration but he has not done anyone harm compare to the harm the prime minister has done with his mouth on several occasions

    Skerritt told his supporters the other day labourites get ready for the battle get your sheilds ready to take down those uwp fools….. so really mr. pm realllyyyy!!!!

    I think the labour party needs a new leader but at the same time the cabinet looks broken and expired

    My suggestion to Lugay is to make use of all the stones, sand and water (black gold) that is present in Dominica so that Dominica will not stay back. Do your job, use you talented brain that you are rewarded with to think positively and be reminded that believers are taught to love, even their enemies.

  18. IFF I WUZ
    July 7, 2014

    Parry, I would encourage Mr. Lugay not to apologise
    because Skeritt says so, but because of his
    religious belief. Any one who knows Mr. Lugay knows he meant no harm. It was just plain politics. He should show
    Skeritt that he is a better man than he is, because Skeritt has said many adverse things and has not had the courtesy to apologise to the people of Dominica.

  19. July 7, 2014

    You all see how fast Skirret comment on this statement . did he make any comment on DR DARROUX when he curse Matt no not one comment , I cannot understand Skirret on this one he knows that danny is making in roads in the fond cole area so he trying to put danny in bad light.MR .SKIRRET PLEASE LET people know what u saying about your minister that curse in public among children both he and DR,D HAVE SMALL CHILDREN..PLEASE HAVE RESPECT TO OTHER PEOPLE////

    I think Danny should apologize for the statement made sooner rather than later. this was poor judgement on his part.

    In the meantime, I do not believe that PM Skerrit has the moral authority to weigh in on the statement made by Danny Lugay, since he himself has made some unfortunate statements in the not too distant past. Should some of them be mentioned?

  22. ?
    July 7, 2014

    Since Skerrit is a bad example, why couldn’t he send one of his clowns to address the matter. I say so because any level headed Dominican will say to Skerrit he is a worse example than Danny so he should just SHUT UP!

    Danny, be careful what you preach and ask for.
    You said you are a believer and have a different heart(maybe God made that special one for you); bear in mind not all are believers with that special heart. If you live by what you said it may well fall back on you. Your utterance is a threat to the DLP and it supporters. Once is a mistake but twice?What kind of believer are you? How many masters are you serving? It’s really true that you see their face but you don’t know their intention.

      The evil that men do follow them. Whatever evil people wish for others, it will return to them twofold. When are people who call themselves Christians going to practice what is contained in Holy Scripture? Those who do not practice it have offended God and primarily sinned against him. Lugay is not a smart man.
      I wonder what type of believer he is? I hope he is not one of those who renounced their Catholic faith and today shout, “I am a believer” as if they were not believers then.

      It is shocking that he would make such comments. I reside in Canada and if a prospect stated that, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) would take him in for questioning. He would be a questionable character. In fact he would have to drop out of the campaign race and Party. His words are extremely bad and threatening. People never, ever make such statements which are considered threats.
      So if he is a believer, he would not do that; he could get someone else to do it. The man is foolish. He should remove himself from the Party. He is not worthy of representing constituents. They should know what type of person he is.

      He has to confess to God and ask his pardon and mercy. He also h as to make penance and restitution without which there is no forgiveness from God. He also has to clear his heart, mind and soul of hatred.
      Holy Scripture: We cannot say we love God whom we cannot see and hate our brother whom we see.
      I am unable to comprehend people who say they know and love God and then turn around and be so mean also in words to their fellow people. They are deceiving themselves. God is not pleased with such people.
      As the words of the song, “He ain’t heavy. He’s my brother.”
      So where is his love? Even though he is campaigning for election, this gives him no reason to make such comments. He has extremely erred.

He did not retract after the Fond Cole incident because no body took it on. He reminded us that he made the statement in Fond Cole. He was forced to “apologize” this time because of the chorous of opposition that rose up against him. Danny listen to your conscience if you still have one. You are not fit to be in parliament.

      I hope they do. The problem with some people is when they are in a Party and those who support a Party, they do not realize they are free to agree and disagree amicably. They can argue but let it lie there. Never wish anyone harm.
      A few weeks ago an Ontario Provincial election was held. The Party I support was not the Party some people whom I know supported. In fact for a few reasons I will not mention here, I said to a few they should not vote for the Party they said they support. I did not get angry with them because they voted for that Party; we are not angry with each other. I simply told them let us see what that Party will do and they better not complain to me because I will throw it at them. :lol:
      Election is over and the Parties are not bickering against each other. During their campaign they did not get personal. They addressed issues which they planned to establish. Certainly, they will address the other about their inadequacies as each Party leader was vying for votes.
      This is how it should be on the campaign trail. They do not threaten the others, saying that some people deserve to die and should be removed from this life. These are powerful and threatening words. This is playing God. It is also against the Law to make such statements at others. If anyone had stated that, they would have been out of the campaign race as fast as you could beat your eyes.
      Lugay is immature. He needs to grow up and has much to learn abut communicating..

    Skerrit is trying to lots of political miles from an unfortunate statement made by Danny Lugay. Lugay should apologize AND Skerrit MUST do the following:

    3. For denying “certain” citizens their rightful opportunity to succeed despite their political affiliation.
    4. Stop interfering with independent organizations like DBS and the Electoral Commission.
    5. Humble himself and admit that certain actions like $500,000 donation saga was wrong on many grounds.
    6. Be prepared to participate in civil political activities to ASSIST Dominicans to become educated in matters of economics, health, jobs, active transparency in governance, political freedom etc.
    7. Avoid political cheating and treachery, and activities like the bin bobol and the refusal to actively assist in the GON Emmanuel matter.

I believe Mr Lugay , should recognize the need to apologize , especially as one who has experienced a change of heart .This issue has become a national one for people on both sides of the political spectrum and that he should do so , true , however the people who were displaced and their homes destroyed at Canefield on land belonging to their representatives , was also a cry that deserved national attention but it just withered in the wind .

      Agreed – change is good and two terms is adequate time for change. But what are we changing too? The opposition is not ready, there leader is not capable of being a Minister – much less to perform as a Prime Minister. The UWP is a failure in its present composition.

      The UWP needs to fight in the elections, do so with ideas, policies, on programs, on achievements, on aspirations – things they will do better – not just of this negative crap all the time. Labour bad – give us a chance – is not a formula for success for Dominica.

      Skerrit deserves a third term because UWP is not ready, Linton is not capable and they have no plans, strategies … they express nothing as to how they will take Dominica forward.

      Wait did he ask people to start killing? Did he say he was about to? Certainly this comment is not the best or most responsible, but lets not take it out of context either. Its easy to focus on what he would do if he wasn’t a believer and not the point that he is. Lets grow the hec up and focus on all the REAL violence taking place in the country day by day. When Thomson Fontaine talked about the youth’s frustration and how we must help them get productive so they won’t turn to violence, he was condemned for “speaking badly” about the nation.

      Dominicans don’t know up from down under this Administration. Everything is hush hush hush, only 1 man should speak and whatever he says is truth. Are we trying to emulate North Korea?!

Mr. Lugay I understand you frustration with the current government but it should never lead to such extreme thoughts. Everyone has a right to opinion no matter how stupid they may sound. A good leader is one who can be calm in a storm ( level headed) and be wise in execution of duties. Your expressions make me see otherwise.
    I believe uwp needs to send a strong message letting the country know this is unacceptable and have you step down from your post.

It is Skerrit’s arrogance, INSULTIVE NATURE, ineptness, and off coure the Labour Patrty’s DUNCENESS and inability to propell the country forward because of their GREEDINESS.
      HYPOCRITE did you hear what Darroux said to Matt. Dic you open your big mouth?
      HOW LONG?
      NOT LONG!

      That is not a statement I would like to hear from any party or groups but don’t try to run with it because in the ARCHIVES are lots of statements where your PM and other members of your party owes Dominicans an apology, I don’t believe you would like to open a Pandora box because you wouldn’t like what comes out of it.
      I hope MR. Linton will call in Danny and discipline him, but don’t get yourself in a hoof because Team Dominica UWP will be the next Govt..

      @Too Late Skerrit cannot lead by example, and does not have the capacity to correct wrongs made by other politicians, on the other side. The corrupt LABOUR PARTY does not have a single candidate that can lead by example. They are all bad apples. That’s why wer are where we are, as far as our politics is concerned..

    Oh, Danny Boy! You spoke your heart. For out of your heart comes the actions and principles that guide yoru very existence. You spoke hatred, Danny. Because of what you harbour in your heart for others – to take them out, you have demonstrated abject hate for them. Danny it is Bibilical and you must know that a person who hate can easily kill. You did not speak like a Christian. You spok elike Satan himself. What did Jesu do whenhe was mistrated? he4 asked his fathr to forgive them for they did not know what they were doing. You spoke in public about what the various organs of the UWP at different levels are discussing behind closed doors. You spoke about what your political leader meant when on the same political platform you he mentioned about “boots” being on the ground pretty soon.” I wonder if Pastor Rod the most avowed spiritual leader who hate Skerrit with a passion galore.

    • Jesus?
      July 7, 2014

      Are you referring to the same Jesus – son of the most high God that sanctioned many a killing in the bible? Pick your words carefully, when David stood before Goliath it was not to ask forgiveness for his and his nations’ misdeeds. Wasn’t he sanctioned by God?

      This is not to say that violence should be incited, but in no way did Lugay call on anyone to kill. Fool not yourself, when we fail to invest in proper medical care in preference of a state house, how many people die due to the lack of proper treatment?

      Stop politicizing everything and picking/twisting words. Think about what is really going on in Dominica with out white washing it in favor of a failed leader!

    Mr Skerrit a question to you, you said that your government will protect itself and the citizens of Dominica

    Mr Skerrit are you protecting your labour supports or all Dominicans, too many threats are being leveled at people who are opposing your government and nothing is being is being said/done about it by you, not forgetting the threat against Mr Emmanuel and his wife, not forgetting all the threats to others by your people on radio station sir, whatever Danny said was not heard on the radio outside Da

    Skerrit all threat is threat and you need to ask your police to investigate all, I did not hear danny’s threat according to you,. What do you think of skerrit

    People just need to be careful how they talk..SIMPLE as that.
    Because there will always be people who will always turn and twist what it is you say whenever if suits them especially if it is to their advantage.

    It’s like saying something like
    “Chinese need to be sent to Jupiter for eating dogs” or something like “Muslims need to be sent away to Timbuktu because they destroying world peace”.
    I am sure the guy did not mean it like everyone is making it to sound but we are in an election year and everyone concerned is being audited so to speak.
    Rival information will always be prejudiced information to the opposing party.

That’s a THREAT. It dosen’t matter how upset you are with the opposition you don’t just make these STUPID statements and think it’s ok. Lint on should get this guy to apologize the citizens of DA.
