Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit and Opposition Leader, Lennox Linton have both congratulated Allen Chastenet who successfully led his United Workers Party (UWP) to victory in the general election held in St. Lucia on Monday, June 6.
Preliminary results indicate the UWP taking 11 0f the 17 constituency seats, defeating the St. Lucia Labour Party (SLP) led by Dr. Kenny Anthony.
Skerrit described the results as a ‘very strong mandate’ given to the UWP, while Linton said it was a ‘decisive victory.’
“I would like to congratulate Mr. Allen Chastenet and his party for having won yesterday’s election,” Skerrit said. “Clearly it is a very strong mandate given to him by the people of St. Lucia and also I want to recognize the efforts of Dr. Anthony and his party.”
He said based on is own analysis one of the main reasons for the UWP win has to do with ‘connectivity’ and being connected to the people.
“This is an issue which confronts politics in the Caribbean, and Dominica included sometimes, that if you are elected to serve the people, the people must have access to you, you are not their slave but certainly you are their servant,” he stated. “And I find that too many ministers in the Caribbean, and in Dominica too, feel they are too busy for people and if people recognize that you are too busy for them, they will relieve you of your responsibilities. I believe in large measures that is the case in St. Lucia…it has to do with an issue called connectivity, being connected to people, being accessible to people, making time to listen to the issues and concerns of the people. If you don’t do that, the people will let you know who is boss, and I believe that is what happened in St. Lucia.”
Linton applauded Chastanet for rebuilding, restructuring and refocusing the UWP since being elected political leader in 2013.
“The United Worker’s Party of Dominica congratulates Prime Minister Elect Allen Chastanet and his colleagues in the United Workers Party of St Lucia on a decisive victory in the general election of June 6th, 2016,” Linton stated. “The 11-6 result makes the incoming Prime Minister the only UWP leader other than former Prime Minister Sir John Compton to lead the party into the seat of government.”
He said the party is “heartened that this firm commitment to a better St Lucia has been rewarded with a solid mandate for good governance secured through votes of conscience and values.”
“It has not been an easy road to this achievement and the road ahead will be even more challenging as the people of the Caribbean strengthen their demands for more visionary, innovative, caring and effective leadership,” Linton remarked. “We wish incoming Prime Minister Chastanet and the members of his team all the very best as they endeavor to deliver a growing economy, jobs, reduced crime and increased social justice.”
Some people commenting that Dominicans stupid because we did not change government like our friends in St Lucia. But just to let you all know that Mr Chastanet have a BA and a MSc degree, and is also successful businessman. Now what is our option here?? What make all you think someone who did not even finish high school much less to have a college or university education can run a country? He has very limited education and has created little or nothing with no track record in business.
TO ALL THE WORKERS PEOPLE IN DOMINICA
Some people commenting that Dominicans stupid because we did not change government like our friends in St Lucia. But just to let you all know that Mr Chastanet have a BA and a MSc degree, and is also successful businessman. Now what is our option here?? What make all you think someone who did not even finish high school much less to have a college or university education can run a country? He has very limited education and has created little or nothing with no track record in business. The only reason he has been given a little consideration in Dca politics is because he speaks ‘anti government’ as an investigative journalist, and even in that capacity he is being made to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in court for libel. Well is smart Dominicans smart, and if St Lucians were faced with our situation they would have voted as we did. But good for them they could vote out a Doctor and replace him with a businessman with a BA and a MSc degree…
I totally agree with the PM you have to connect with the people. One remembers when Linton said to Matt “If I don’t know you I won’t say hello to you” this is the mentality of this man he is not a peoples person. Some blogger stated Skeritt go playing Dominoes that means he socialising can you say the same about Linton? I rest my case by the way his predisessor Rossie Douglas was also well loved, Love and respect has to be earned you cannot wish it
People it is not the party .It is the man that leads the party I not red or blue I am for justice for everyone especially for the poor people Dr. Anthony cannot be compared to Skerrit even if they are of Labor. It is The Man stupid. What experience did Skerrit have? Lenox is a man of principal and no nonsense and that is what Dominica requires. People wake we are inteligent people why are you all acting so dumb? you all are really under a Spell
you are dem! untrue you blue and you know full well lenox is not batter then skerrit
Chastanet said his new administration will be looking to reduce the Value Added Tax (VAT) shortly and will commence talks with the Ministry of Finance, civil society and regional and international institutions like the Caribbean Development Bank and the IMF, to find the best way forward in removing the tax all together .
Sot all u sot voting skerrit
“now we will see what a UWP government in power is all about,we have had this experience years ago,so we will see if it works in st lucia, a st lucia that has been making so much strides even outdoing dominica,wishing them the best”(forrel).
You see Madam/Sir, I believe the reason for such sentiment in the quote is because you are believing in a name “Labor; UWP; DFP; Party” rather than the results of those individuals elected produce.
You see in Dominica one of the reasons Skerrit has his vice grip around your necks is the belife; well labor god for England, it for St. Lucia, it good for Antigua, so it must be good for Dominica. So, be informed nothing is produced from associating with a name.
When if Skerrit goes to England nobody welcome him as a member of the British Labor Party, they do not know him; they are not associated with Dominica Labor Party in any way shape or form, all that is a name in common, like my name is Francisco, if you search the world there might…
If you search the world there might be millions of people with that name, Francisco, none of them knows me, it simply a name in common, look at it that way: Dominica Labor Party is simply a name, and independent party with absolutely no connective association with any other on this planet with the same party name!
Skerrit gives the impress that he belongs to international labor part club, no such thing, there is not such thing, they have no association with him.
Lennox Linton congratulating Allen Chastanet and St Lucia UWP… I can understand, but Roosevelt Skerrit congratulating St Lucia UWP… I just must laugh
Lol….Skerrit, the square peg in round hole..He has reduced his labourites to beggars.
The real reason for the defeat of the St Lucia Labour Party (SLP) is not the disconnect with the people but the growing poverty in St Lucia, the growing unemployment, espeically among the youth, the enrichment of SLP parliamentarians, the growing corruption by public officials, the extra judicial killings, the poor economic practices and lack of vision…. Things that resonate wit the Dominica Labour Party (DLP) sister party of the SLP.
People realize that some Labour Parties only interest in governance is to line their pockets to become rich on the backs of poor and unsuspecting citizens. It’s time for real change and meaningful development… Honestly Prime Minister Skerrit congratulatory message to Prime Minister elect Allen Chastanet and the St Lucia United Workers Party (UWP) is mere protocol and not genuine
It was Skerrit who spoke at the inaugurationwhen Kenny Anthony won the previous general elections in St Lucia some years ago… Skerrit to damn hypocrete, your turn…
“He said based on is own analysis one of the main reasons for the UWP win has to do with ‘connectivity’ and being connected to the people.”(Roosevelt Skerrit).
Sorry Roosevelt, you are wrong again, your analytical skills are very poor, as well as you judgment! The connectivity to the people who you fanaticized is in your mind; is only an illusion. You see to get connected to the people does not mean buying of votes and bribing people!
The people voted, and elected the UWP of St. Lucia, because they discovered that under the Labor Party, St. Lucia began slipping in reverse. The recognized as long as they retained the labor party, St. Lucia was returning to below a third world standard. People are not interested in colors, and slogans, and bribes.
They are interested in work and prosperity, that is why they elected the UWP whom they believe is going to take their out of their economic status at the moment, to higher, and better things!
Dominica needs a UWP inn office as well.
Only if Dominicans were firm in conviction as St Lucians we would have dumped this Skerritt Kabal long time. St Lucians don’t take nonsense like some Domincans..
Imagine given the situation surrounding the by election in Souffrierre and Dominicans still voting Labour. Just look at the YouTube videos of Mr Skerritt n especially Mr Reginald Austrie… Austrie spoke for a long time but said nothing.. Yet labourites were Dancing and Shouting…. Austrie was insulting the Dominican listenership yet Labouritez will vote them.
Congrats Lucians job well done…..
It’s time to vote out labour……. Its a total disgrace to be led by this failed government. Mr Austrie should just resign n go repent say his prayers… The whole labour party should resign n repent….
But the Uwp must have a zero tolerance to bad behaviour n map wee poli

But good for them they could vote out a Doctor and replace him with a businessman with a BA and a MSc degree. So stop insulting Dominicans. CONGRATS!
I am not a Labourite but I have to agree with you! Dominica needs a revived Dominica Freedom Party with strong, intelligent and progressive leadership to replace the Dominica Labour Party. I would love to vote UWP but I cannot rationalise its poor leadership! How could Mr Prevost, Mr James and others in the UWP past leadership who have worked so hard to teach their children the value of an education and send them to university, then turn around and offer Dominica an unemployed, high school drop-out for Prime Minister? Are you kidding me?
You know, a bachelor in arts degree, or any other does not guaranty the holder can do more for any country than someone without a degree. Sometimes people who know how to use their given commonsense, functions better in practice than many who are academically educated.
A degree, does not make anybody supper, or know it all or better than anyone else, a degree simply means you remain in school long enough to accomplish something, therefore one can be trained.
You often hear Lawyers practice law, doctors practice medicine; “note the word practice,” the reason for that they can never finish learning, hence, they are in practice for as long as they remain in that profession; there is no specific way a degree can teach anybody how to run a country.
Look at it this way; Bill Clinton a lawyer by profession; president of the United States for eight years, when he left there was a surplus in cash. Bush the highly educated graduated in one of the more prestigious Universities in…
Bush the highly educated graduated in one of the more prestigious Universities in America, it took him eight years to screw up the country.
It took a constitutional lawyer Obama less than seven years to fixed the damage what Bush Jr., caused over an eight year period. His law degree did not come into play when saved the American economy from collapsing. Remember Maynard had a degree in economics, he was once a minister in the Labor Party.
He was the one in 1963 who said pay government minister more money, and if the steal put them in jail! How much did his degree in economics help to improve Dominica? In his final active years of his life he became head of J. Astaphan & Co., and actually led it to the brink of bankruptcy. Had it not for the hurricane which caused some damage to the building, and they collected the Insurance pay off J. Astaphan & Co would be history!
Old man the father of the Birds of Antigua, had no degree, look at the development of that county it all…
I am not saying that education is all and that once you have education you must succeed. However we cannot ignore the normal and look to the extremely rare occasions where persons with little education are successful. And further in all of these cases, with absence of formal education the individual possesses proven experience in building successful business or the like before being elected. You spoke of Obama? How could you speak of Obama in that light? Obama is a well educated man who graduated from Harvard with honors. Of course his formal education and even his law degree helped him in making the best decisions. And even Mr Obama made a comment which may have been directed at Mr Trump the other day, where he said stuff to the effect that “when we want to travel we want someone who is/has qualified/graduated from flight school. When we want a surgeon to operate on us we want a graduate from medical school… So why should a country’s highest Office be any different?” Barack…
Finally:
Old man the father of the Birds of Antigua, had no degree, look at the development of that county it all started under his rule.
Earnest Williams the Minister of Education in Bird Government; his wife was a teacher, she taught him to read at more than twenty-five years old, and he was a good minister of education, the same thing occurred in England one of their best Prime minister learnt to read, and write long after he turned twenty-five years old.
I think his name was Chamberlain. England is yet one of the most wealthiest, and powerful nation on earth!
Honestly, Im 18 and have been away from Dca for a few years and was disappointed upon my return that the country has not changed and i love Skerrit as a person, but the Government needs improvement. Alot of the youth share my sentiments an given the opportunity to make a change it will happen. Skerrit is very well connected to his people, but not in the way a Prime Minister should be connected to his country. Dominica honestly needs change and there are too many places to start
I think Dominica Missed out on the memo from the Caribbean which said “Guys we are changing Governments to see if things can get better ” If you notice almost all the islands had a change of Gov. Except Dominica and st Vincent and if you look closely they are the two most Backward moving Countries in the Caribbean. That should say something about the people living on those two Islands.
My people was just tired of his lies, he never kept his promises and he was arrogant to the max. St.Lucians are very smart people, why do you think we have two Noble prize winners? Labor destroy our Country so now we take it back UWP will lead us back to our land of Simply Beautiful.
We need change in Dominica, remove skerrit, all islands changing Government. What is all you problem?
Our problem is a replacement has not yet come forward! Replace him with an uneducated, high school drop out? Replace him with what? And you are right, it is time that he was gone!
We need change in Dominica remove skerrit…. we losing our democracy.
Skerrit does not know what he is saying……it is the youth of SLU that stood against the crap which was happening…… we were having major unemployment issues amounts the youth. we suffered from victimization; only the people who openly supported the SLP were benefiting, worse SLP was messing with the integrity of the police force and finally their sheer arrogance; as if they would never leave office……. we were the ones who voted them in and we showed them they were not invincible…… we in SLU don’t play. Our heads are not screwed on backwards that’s why we are far more developed and will continue unto progress.
Sounds exactly like Dominica. Hope our youth will see sense and help deliver us from this cesspit we are in.
i must say i do agree that in a lot of ways st.lucians may be smarter,they elected sir john compton and he died, so stevenson king became pm, he was unable to move the country of st.lucia so they voted labour party.kenny athony could not deliver so he was voted out. allan chastenet who is an econoimist by profession was voted in. they put all their gripes away and voted as a unitied block. now dominica who is at the head of uwp , a novice not qualified , st lucians would NEVER GO FOR THAT KIND OF LEADER. thats why the labour party of dominica is way way up.and thats why none of the uwp sister parties in the region wants to have the leader of the dominica workers party speaking on their platform
Here you go i guess your one that visit the red clinic weekly begging like the lazy other fools in dominica.
You write like an accomplished and brazen novice..By the way, its not a bad word,as you are trying to siggest.It simply means that you lack experience in the way you write….ST LUCIANS ARE BRIGHT AND COUNTRY FOCUSSED.
suggest.
That’s why your economy is one of the worst in the region, and unemployment among the youths have plummeted to an all time low. You have eyes yet you can’t see that you have an imposter, self serving pm running your life for all it is worth. Lennox Linton is only trying to help fools like you see that you could be much better off than you are today. When the treasury money that is hidden away in Panama and elsewhere dries up you will run to Linton mark that word. St. Lucia voted against bad governance while you in Dominica entrances even worst governance.
Are you aware that the SLP was accusing SUWP of stealing Linton’s speech, campaign plans and manifesto ideas………. don’t embarrass yourself with this ridiculous comment.
A novice whose ideas were allegedly worth stealing and aided in the a great win.
Latitude e5550……You are the reason Dominica can’t move. Just listen to your statement. I honestly do not know how the rest of Dominica thinks or feel but I would rather have a trusted , PHD less, honest people person as my leader than I have a lying, self centered, greedy, money grabbing educated dictator.
Your choice!!!!
Fo you know thst King the firmer prime minister of St Lucia was just a messenger at a law firm in St Lucia. The lawyer he worked for was a politician in the UWP and thats how King got into politics. No degree or anything. Under King St Lucia made huge strides.
Now go figure. This is factual. Not the Tony Astsphan and Ambassador A propaganda
I beg to differ, Mr. Skerrit on this “connectivity” issue!! Voters in St. Lucia voted out the SLP simply because it was incapable of growing the economy and providing JOBS for the citizens. Add to that the extra judicial killings by the police and more importantly, the country’s non-participation in this year’s Trade Winds training. SL is the ONLY Caricom country not participating. These are the reasons for the loss and not this illogical suggestion put forward by Skerrit. Sincerely hope you all learn. But then, a leopard cannot change its spots.
HOTEP!
Congratulations to Mr. Allen Chastenet and the progressive people of St. Lucia!!! There’s much to learn from our smaller sister island that has 183,600 (2014) people, more than two and a half times our population of 70,000+/-. St. Lucia has 17 electoral districts/constituencies. Whereas, Dominica has 21 constituencies, and is one of the nations @ the UN with the biggest government per capita in the world to include massive corruption, cronyism and nepotism as a factor in its governance. Only time will tell!
Congratulations are in order for Prime Minister elect, Mr. Allen Chastenet , and the St. Lucia UWP, for defeating the true. doctor. But what does this victory means to us in Dominica? Well, here is my perspective:
1. This victory confirms to all that Dominicans are the stupidest human being in the Caribbean, if not in the world. I mean although St. Lucia is under developed but clearly, Mr. Anthony’s contribution to the development of St. Lucia is far more than the evils Skerrit has done to Dominica. Yet Lucians say it’s time for change
2. Dispite the defeat, no one expects the FBI or any law agency, at home or abroad, to arrest or question Mr. Anthony for anything that the office of the PM protected him from. In Dominica I will allow the consciences of our authorities to advise us.
now we will see what a UWP government in power is all about,we have had this experience years ago,so we will see if it works in st lucia, a st lucia that has been making so much strides even outdoing dominica,wishing them the best
If you read you will see that its not the first time in office fo Saint Lucia uwp. From 1985 to present it has constantly changed from slp to uwp, dominated by John Crompton and Dr Kenny Anthony w ith party ever holding more than three consecutive terms.
@ Forreal, if St. Lucia made so much strides under the Labour Party, according to you, and much more than Dominica, doesn’t that make us Dominicans look very stupid and do not care about issues and our future, while Lucians let politicians know they will not settle for anything less than real development that points to a better future?
One day things must get better Dominicans…….keep your head above the water.
St Lucia is a much more advanced society than Dominica. Although similar in many ways culturally, has many strides in advancement. Dr Kenny Anthony is a noble man and honorable man and would not do many things that are done here in Dominica. E.g Importation of voters. using state resources to pursue their political goals. Another e.g during the launching of their tablet program. The ministry of education did the presentation not one minister was present, unlike Dominica where the tablets were presented in each school with all ministers dressed in Red. This is so unprofessional. There are so many other issues that can be highlighted. In the end its better to loose honorably than win dishonestly. Congratulations Chastanet and well done Dr Anthony.
“I find that too many ministers in the Caribbean, and in Dominica too, feel they are too busy for people and if people recognize that you are too busy for them, they will relieve you of your responsibilities.”
Interesting observation skerrit.
Is this an honest admission of guilt?……..you refer here specifically to ‘minsters’.
you referring to your DLP and its minsters……..prepare yourself……….your record as PM shows u not strong at all in bi-elections.
I remember when you rushed 3 sittings of parliament in 1 month………to force a bi-election in Salisbury and Marigot.
In de end DLP lost the bi-election disgracefully.
I heard your party say things about de St Lucia UWP that was not to flattering……..and quite distasteful.
But again in de end………SKERRIT HAD TO TAKE A BOW AND SHOW HONOR!!!!!!
The people have spoken that if a government is doing nonsense then they will be voted out. The youth came out to invest in their future and showed that their are a forced to be reckoned with. Congrats to the United Workers Party. I wish you all the best and hope and pray that for the sake of our beautiful island of St. Lucia you guys live up to your promises. With that said I hope the people of St. Lucia stand up and hold the elected officials accountable… Again in the next 5 years if UWP follows the same path as SLP rest assured they will be voted out again. It is time those politicians realize that St. Lucians are not as stupid as they think and will drink anything (like fix roads weeks before elections). We the people have a voice and it is time we start using this voice. All the best for the 5 years!!!!!
When will Dominicans wake up. Whst was interesting to me is that Peter Wickham in response to Shermain said the people of St Lucia would not allow politicians to import…
The people of Dominica needs the receipe that the St. Lucians used in this election. Dominicans wake up, wash your eyes off that beauty sleep. wake up, wake up ,wake up.
skero u know something…haha…that’s why u hang out allot in the village playing dominoes and making drinks etc…haha….. u notice a disconnect…hmm
but the issue is that the St.Lucians have been known around the world to be a smarter and wiser society they are more unified rather than the headless dominicans….
lucians have stood up on many occasions, i can recall them striking on some banana issues many moons ago, and even burnt those who attempt to be weak and try to produce their sheds were gutted..
in Da,,,i don’t see that happening…dominicans are too damm droll and dunce.. to effect any sort of change…they have already been bought in the bi-election, as they see pennies and crumbs as the best think since God created mankind!!
Ohh he making drinks to? Bahaha, Is that Dominicans like
I heard the PM even take off his shirt to play dominoes in Scotts Head on the weekend hahahaha Dominica is the greatest!
Best Skeritt just shut up. Too much hypocrisy coming from the man. Practice what you preach. You talk about people having access to their PM yet you are never on the island. You frequently leave the island for us to enjoy its poor infrastructure while you and Vince Henderson enjoy the skyscrapers of Dubai and was even recently spotted in Miami enjoying lunch. I have pictures to prove it because it was my uncle who took them out and paid for their lunch while posing for pics with them. Look at how St. Lucia’s economics flowing then look at yours. Labor isn’t working he knows it. He’s congratulating because it’s the right thing to do but deep down he wishes that he had the ability to take Dominica to St. Lucia’s level but he can’t; he just doesn’t have it in him. His best attribute is to give Linton maypwe and dish out handouts. So many in Dominica doesn’t have a breakfast this morning
Well I to will join the list to congratulate the PM elect o his victory. the people has always spoken and the parties accepted and move on. I longing to se a day like that in Dominica boy.
but our own prim minister is so correct. boils down to being a peoples person. this is why the people in Dominica keep re-electing the HON. DR. ROSSEVELT SKRRIT. HE IS THE MAN FOR THE TIMS. AND NO ONE CAN QUESTION HIS CONECTION WITH THE PEOPLE.
SINCE HE ENTERD POLITICS HE JUST KEEP WINNING WINNIG WINNNG UNLIK SOME ON I KNOW.
NO NAM NO WARRANT. TODAY THE POPLE IN SCOTT HEAD IS GOING TO PROV M RIGHT AGAIN.
POLITICS IS NOT FOR BOLD FACE NOVICE. IT IS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE A CARING HEART AND IS DEMONSTRATING THEY REALLY CAR ABOUT POPLE. NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT THEY CARE ABOUT PEOPLE.
SHOW YOU CARE. ERIKA CAME YOU SHOW ABSOLUTLY NO CARE AND YOU HAVE TH BALLS TO TALK ABOUT PEOPLE?
STOP TALKING AND GET TO WORK. SHOW DOMINICANS YOU CAR BY DOING WORK FOR THEM. NOT JUST TALK…
Man, change the record already. it is stuck in its groove, scratched and broken. Tired of your tune.
As i read the two congratulatory remarks i would swear that skerrit did not make it past grade 5. How does he know about other ministers and thier conectivity in thier constituency. He is trying to make a case for himself and dismisses the fact that not all people in Caribbean vote for dimples and sewo. You congratulate the man and then tell him he is disconnected to his people. No wonder you buying Phd in India
Another island has again taught its government who is in charge. Dominica should ask itself one question. Why have we moved from the top in days of Mamo to sub zero today. Note Skerrit has been around longer than anyone else and to date cannot boast of Dominica record. Chinese and Venezuela charity is not Dominican development.
Congratulations to the people of St. Lucia for making a decision for the best interest of the country. Its is only when politicians know they are not the ones in charge you get meaningful change and development. You society have showed maturity. One day our Dominican population will get it. It is not by accident that you guys are far ahead. It is amazing you got rid of a real Doctor while in Dominica we celebrate waving branches and red carpet for a pujabee Dr. Who paid a few thousand for a title. Compelling the level of crap we accept. Wish you well st. Lucia.
lmbo……i was thinking the same….he aint got a Phd nah….and thats how he talks lol
Skerrit does not know what he is saying……it is the youth of SLU that stood against the crap which was happening…… we were having major unemployment issues amounts the youth. we suffered from victimization; only the people who openly supported the SLP were benefiting, worse SLP was messing with the integrity of the police force and finally their sheer arrogance; as if they would never leave office……. we were the ones who voted them in and we showed them they were not invincible…… we in SLU don’t play. Our heads are not screwed on backwards that’s why we are far more developed and will continue unto progress.
Good going. This should deter this snap election call . Next time people will think twice abou such action .!
Skerrit you do not know a hoot as to why UWP won…They won because the populace is smarter than the Dominican voters…In which other country would this Skerrit led DLP be in power. St Lucians are not slaves to any politician,they love their country..This is not the case in Dominica,where we have in you Skerrit,the most inept,backward,insultive leader in the commonwealth..WELL DONE ST LUCIANS!
“And I find that too many ministers in the Caribbean, and in Dominica too, feel they are too busy for people and if people recognize that you are too busy for them, they will relieve you of your responsibilities. I believe in large measures that is the case in St. Lucia…it has to do with an issue called connectivity, being connected to people, being accessible to people, making time to listen to the issues and concerns of the people. If you don’t do that, the people will let you know who is boss, and I believe that is what happened in St. Lucia.”
NO ST LUCIAN’S WERE FED-UP WITH THE EMPTY PROMISES AND LIES OF KENNY!!!!! WHEN YOU PROMISING THE SAME THING YEAR IN, YEAR OUT AND NOT DELIVERING, WHEN YOU FEEL YOU LARGE AND IN-CHARGE AND DON’T OWE THE PEOPLE AND EXPLANATION – THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS!
St.Lucians have woken up,its only in Dominica the fools keep on voting for a corrupt government.
