Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has told residents of Silver Lake that they must “put aside personal differences and put country first” when they head to the polls to elect a government soon.
He told them at the handing over of six apartments in that community recently that they should not be fooled by letting those who cannot give biscuits, take their bread away.
“There are people who come here at night and tell you all sorts of things, all what they could do for you, all what they will do for you. But let me say to you that you should not allow people who cannot give you biscuit to take the bread from your mouth,” he stated adding, “You cannot go and put a whole group of novice men and women to run the affairs of Dominica in the difficult period of the world and to take out an experienced, committed, dedicated and proven party from office and put the UWP in office.”
He said the Dominica Labour Party (DLP) is working for the country, “and we must continue to keep Labour in government so that these programs and these activities, these initiatives can continue,” and asked, “why would the people of Dominica change a party that is transforming and changing the country?”
Insisting that “change came to Dominica in February of 2000 when we replaced the UWP with the Coalition government,” Skerrit said Dominica has seen the transformation in all sectors, adding that before 2005, the country had no Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and today it is fully equipped and the lives of countless citizens have been saved as well as tremendous sums that they would have to spend in other countries.
When they came into office, he said, only 44 percent of primary school graduates had access to secondary schools and today, there is now universal access to education. He pointed out further that entry to the Dominica State College (DSC) is now at 87 percent, a vast difference from the seven percent before the DLP came into office.
The prime minister said his government has invested more in agriculture than any government.
Skerrit said these strides have been made under “difficult circumstances,” and because of “the prudent and responsible management of the affairs of Dominica and the extra ordinary relationships that we have cultivated through our diplomatic relations we have been able to bring that kind of development.”
According to him, the DLP has brought poverty down from 39 percent to 28 percent, reduced indigence from 10-3 percent, and the next time the poverty assessment is done for the country “the indigence rate in Dominica will be zero,” he promised.
Hand it to him, this PM has more guts than a fish.
I left Dominica many years ago came bck home expecting at list sone change am not a loborite nor uwp but awa man nothing has changed In Rousseau . Roseau needed to look like a place people wat to come to them old little house neede to be broken down and build aparments in the outskirts of roseu awah man where’s the change rosea ani pa aden
PM. Do you know if we put Dominica first; you will be last. Careful what you ask for sir. Well I putting Dominica first and out you go!!!! YOU HAVE TO GO IN THE NAME OF JESUS. YOU HAVE TO GO!!!!!!
The fire burning and the water hot is time we put something in the pot. You never miss de water till the well run dry. Calling on all Dominican, calling on all Dominican vote for me give me one last chance to eat you all money. When my stomach is full I will leave everyone in the dump and migrate to the USA. I who knows I maybe the mayor of one of the fifty states. lol bwavococo
The PM is correct put country first and vote based on what is right for Dominica. It might be a change is right for Dominica, so the PM is saying I have been here long enough put the country first and vote for a change.
hahahahahaha!!!
Put Country First? DUUURRRRR….
that’s why i will DEFINITELY vote you OUT!
JohnJay -Commonwealth of Dominica Police force you meant ?
Well caught. Is havving your baby born in America, putting country first?
That is one of the most unstable career that one can elect.to be in.the reality is you only front. You are being constantly scrutinize by both the educated and the uneducated, people hate you without a cause your friends are not really your friends and more so the clout you have can be rolled of you in one night, ask mr millionaire Mitt Romney
The nice thing about politics is that it gets old real fast
After reading all those comments my word of advise to Mr PM stop talking at events , meetings etc you just building resentment towards you and your party JUST CALL THE DAMN ELECTION Dominican getting real mad at you and the entire DLP
skerritt you sound like a desperate man,silver lake people smart now,just like all de rest of us,call elections we waiting to put our country first.
Duplicate comment detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that! what’s that about DNO without writing lmao!
Man stop your lies ppl are fed up with ur crap …more taxes coming into Dominica? what the joke is this I feel sorry for Prim in the airport …he won’t get no tip no more …in Jesus name u will get out!! Have ppl suffering …wicked old goat
Turn back before it is too late and don’t follow Satan into Gehenna. Labourites, reclaim your party and save it from Armageddon. DON’T VOTE SKERRIT.
The time is nigh. Math. 5.22, 5.29, 23.15
Hosea 4:6 says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge… REALLY MR PRIME MINISTER? AS A YOUTH MY MOUTH ONLY STAYED OPEN READING YOU WORDS.. I DO NOT WANT ANYONE GIVING ME FISH TO EAT,NOT YOU NOR LINTON. GIVE ME THE EQUIPMENT I NEED TO CATCH MY OWN FISH… (question) you have given and provided ,house,bread,plywood, galvanize,roads ,equipments for hospital among others.. Linton has not given any plywood or galvanize yet he have captured the interest and support of so many youths, adults,here and around the world,even some of your supporters…why?
Dominica has the same structural issues after many years of DLP leadership. To be fair, we can point to a revamped road-network, construction and completion of the Windsor Park Stadium and the Dominica State College, just to name a few.
We’re not sure whether we’re an agricultural based economy or something else.
We have some of the highest electricity rates in the region, a small population, heavy out-migration, we’re last in Foreign Direct Investment, not to mention a never ending array of taxes such as VAT, departure tax and now entry tax.
The Social Programs i.e., Red-Clinic and construction of homes for the poor and indigent are note worthy. We struggled in these areas in the past, given the dynamics of this small island nation.
However, this path cannot be the way forward for Dominica with its current high unemployment and lack of health care. A nation cannot move forward without a proper hospital, capable of caring for its citizens.
A nation cannot move forward if we cannot attract new sustainable investments in various sectors.
A nation cannot move forward if we cannot create jobs to sustain our population.
This nation cannot move forward with the state of the Airport at Melville Hall or the Ferry Terminal in Roseau.
We do not need any more moral victories or ancillary projects.
yes wi putting country first thats why we voting your harss out of office u that maniac there. cal the damn election u just there talking talking!!!
…… But mr PM , we Dominicans need to put “Country First”and you PM, “Last”
LABOUR POWER
every must be on your back now is the the time for uuuu to go to hell what country u crying for your pocket and villas,the beans boboll,take a good look back, count the evils you have done,and remember they will hunt u because the scars are therethat boubles,who pull a gun on unarmed women and got his gun back,gunemanuel,house burn down up to now case cant call and the list goes on man you have to pay ,pay,and feel what others have felt the bal is turning?.
Get a job Zumba!.. A real one! It surely seems that Skerrit is paying you to respond to every negative or unsupportive comment posted about him on DNO. I assure you that you certainly have your work cut out for you. Seeing 99% percent of the commenters here, are hard-pressed to find something positive that they can say about Skerrit and his band. The fact that you waste so much precious time to respond these comments, says a lot about you.
It speaks of your insecurity, your weak-mindedness and a serious lack of wisdom and discernment. Yet, you have the heart to call people stupid and uneducated? Please take a look in the mirror. Name-calling is much to infantile for this forum.
In future, at least attempt to add something to the discourse, instead of exposing your ignorance and wearing it as a badge of honour.
One of my favorite quote from the bible is: ” My people were cut off because they lacked wisdom; because thou hast rejected wisdom, I will cast thee out of the priesthood; seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy sons.” Hosea 4:6
I will keep you in my prayers in the hope that you will soon wake you from your slumber.
My Dad(may his soul rest in peace) who hardly spent a complete day at school; insisted that before my siblings and i speak any patois, we had to learn and speak and understand proper English. It’s sad that we all speak English in Dominica yet few of us really do understand it. It’s rather surprising that it took our PM 15 years to understand that when voting at the pools we must put country first. “NOVICE?” please sir where you PM before you occupied that office?and for that matter where did you and your cronies achieve the office of Hon. before you all held the offices you now occupy. Let’s put politics asides you have articulated so beautifully all the reasons why you and your gang should not be given another chance at the polls. You offer public servants 0%; 0%; 0% what is this bread or biscuit? Yes it’s time to put an end to the era of (DLP) Deception Lies Propaganda.
Is now allu see Skerrit is a mad man? That’s why I left this man’s party. This is not the Labor party I knew. Country first my foot.
Skerritt d evil u do is coming to u soon. …call it.
Are smelling the sulphur?? LMAO
That’s voice of a desperate man crying to remain in power.
Tickle me under my arms and my plate pie Skerrit
Garcon we an id. Doh tell me u in this medical/recreational thing too. If U are stop this clouds the mind.
Certainly and long time. AsI told my friends from 2004-5 post Pierro’s death this juvenile would go onto do mad stuff in office. Is like I have goat mouth I never thought I had.
From the Land transfer faux pas they just seem to flow.
That what happens in our local parlance phrase” never see come see come crazy.” Sporrow said it marvelously too in his famous: “dotish married man run and go put ring on she hand.” See all the dotish stuff that followed up to this morning the tax pending lol
And he wants 5 more yrs! Skerro go back ur fist.
PM when you and your wife decided to have your baby……………………………… did you put COUNTRY FIRST? I would like to know. You put your family first sir and now Your behind is feeling the heat you want the people of DA to put country first, You really think we stupid. Well i hope they are not stupid for REAL.
I see a Duvalier he will soon leave 4 Paris or will it be NJ by his partner where many decisions were made.
Top ej was the Bin Borbol with Liquidgators Inc having a sale on the Bins. $13NJ came a minister’s 1/2 brother to finalise the deal at that house in NJ where the minds meet..
Back to my pt. will the departure be at midnight by Venezulean chopper boat airplane seeing we now havenight landing or will it be from a side beach in the NE under the cover of night on a canoe or pipwee?
From PA to NJ came a 1/2 brother …….that was what was meant to be written.
Sorry, my bad.
BEST point so far
dat PM find he wanna put on air port fees? liat and flights soooooo expensive!how u for the country and u making it more hard than it already it?
looks like good time is jus for d PM n his ppl not for US, wen this ship sinks i no the PM n his family have other ships to go on
i only wish our Govt will tell us what the plans they to grow the economy by us giving them Five years again. i am supporter of some this addministration policy however i believe is the that govt need tell about their plans to grow economy and creates job. I am young educated man all the young people need to hear is the plans that Govt and oppostion have for the country. I got say even if i dont know where the money coming for the opposition plans as least they have given plan so the Govt that need to show how are they goin to grow economy i am tired of hearing of roads houses over and again those thing are social benefits but it cant be about social benefits alone we need an economic plans from you my prime minister that what young person who are grateful for your education assistance to us however as young professional we need to raise level of discussion and ideas the more young that educated means they want to hear sustainable and developmental plans for the country not about social issues.
Are you blind or just biased?
you are asking a lot. They do not have the capacity to prepare developmental plans…
If you see one , it would have been plagiarised……..
Young and immature. You cannot take the time to read what you just wrote. Educated not yet just aware that things are not right so read listen discuss and learn.
My advise to you.
As a young man I am glad to hear you say that Team Dominica UWP have put out there plans but they also explained to you where the funds will be coming from. Just think of it when people like Tony Ass..ta..phan . Alic Lawrence, all the consultants, Heartly Henry, Aaron and all the others do you have any idea how much money Dominica will be saving ? I cant wait to see all the waist come to an end.
dominica is in the 10 least visited countries in the world n will get worse………..im leaving as soon as im done my edu
Ok, taxes to go taxes to come, well there goes the tips that the bag handles got at the airport for helping.. They were so happy to get it. I feel so sad for my country. Mr Man You Must GO>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> no doubt.
I voted the DLp (Dominica Labor Party) in 1990, 1995,2000, 2005 and 2005. But alas papa god! That’s the worse my country has been. Now my party has become the dlp – Dominica Latrine Party, because they have left the majority of us with kaka vante (loose bowel) because we cannot afford to eat the bread he said he giving us. Right now we sure need the doctor to give us something better to stabilize our stomach. I going for Dr. Thompson Fontaine all the way this time.
Medard said UWP offering bizwee lol and he offering bread so as commonsense go, bizwee won’t be belly fulling like bread lol? Medard is French so we saying bizwee
Oh ! almost forgot to inform you/FYI this is not the DLP you thought you were with from 1990.
As you are well aware I trust. Medard the current P.M the President the Minister of Diaspora affairs, just to name 3 come straight/directly from the DFP how can it be Authentic DLP? The Authentic have been reduced to yes men and women and house slaves for want of a better anology.
After Rosie & Pierro’s death they infiltrated the leadership now it’s a leadergoat with ideas second only to Instru of the gov’t of 1995-2000. The Fountain on Mamo’s Blvd, the suggested smoked herrings for independence day breakfast.
The most very recent crazier idea post UWP’s instru is the $27.00 EC tax currently being discussed which may just be the straw that breaks the Neo DLP’s back, if rallied effectively.
Have a great day( DLPite& discontented) or what left of it.
skerrit skerrit skerrit I far as I can remember this universal education started with the United Workers Party just before they left office. This was the brain child of Ron Green so get facts straight. It wasn’t labour party which started it. In relation to the universal education labour party is not doing a very good job with that. There is still a high percentage of pupils entering the secondary schools and still can’t read .
Ok let’s ask the pm to go to these kids home and teach them to read,.. You bloody idiot. Everything is the pm fault…. Why don’t you ask him to eat, drink and shit for u as we’ll you goat.. And maybe love up your woman’s as well
Pm your time will soon come.. Keep talking bobblesP
Bobbles is with a U not O unless is bubbles/bobbles like in chim savon! But there’s no chim in bubbles nor bobbles. lol
your computer is set on refusing any evidece on denouncing the lies of the pm shame on you
dno you will feel the heat when labor looses
Put country first is a noble idea. Don’t allow novices to take over government is an idiotic statement. No person has entered government for the first time with years and years of experience. Exhibit A: Roosevelt Skerritt 2000. How can the Prime Minister of a small country send his wife off to the United States to give birth to his child rather than to show true patriotism and put country first by having his child be a natural born Dominican? That indicates to us that we should not allow our children to be born in Dominica. I hope the rest of Dominicans open their eyes like me. Many people give birth outside of Dominica but the implications ARE greater when it is the Prime Minister.
Goat the child is a Dominican both parents are born Dominicans. Can you honestly confirm the child’s nationality
put the country first by increasing the departure tax n introducing an entry tax. How do you put the country first in doing that. When your making it so hard for people to enter the country and spend money here. Tickets are already so expensive and you are still increasing taxes n adding new ones…
boats are real estate for passports?http://www.officecruiseline.com/citizenship.html
Island boy!
Look like revoking is much easier than I thought as 99%maybe liars cause most are using it as a spring board. so we can revoke most.
Mr. Skerrit. in 2000 I owned a banana field that I depended on to raise my six children. I use to sell 150 boxes of bananas every two weeks and I created employment for 5 young men that I paid $35.00 a day. I also use to sell grapefruits, oranges, plantain, Tania, dasheen and other crops on a weekly basis. I owned a shop that was always filled with groceries all from my farm. I had my house and pickup and they were both paid off. Back then I would easily net $ 5,000.00 a month while, you were making no more the $2 thousand as a teacher. Today, all I have is my little run down house. You killed banana and agriculture on a whole. In fact I know a man from your village who shares the same testimony except that he had more than one van. His farm was in the Gomier area. Do you know him? Can you tell him life is better now that when he voted you in 2000? Today, I am poor and you have become a multi millionaire along with your friends and close associates. I sure will take your advice and vote you out! Dominica deserves better that that
Today was a very rainy day, so we could not have gone home to paly!
PM Skerrit, DNO is not the forum for the debate that the citizens of Dominica are asking for. If you are so confident about your future plans and programs for the Country, as the interim, experienced government you claim to lead, please i beg of you, please arrange the debate we asked for. Then and only then can you surely say that Dominicans are given “ALL” the information they need to make the best informed decision.
Dude DNO is reportinga news item.
Skerrit didn’t attemp debating with anyone on here!
citizens should not be begging a political leader to have debates… that suppose to be a must
Do u have plan on walking with ur smelling salt to the debate if it were to happen? lol One of the two panelist will need to be revived after a few minutes from opening. lol
I’ll have more than smelling salts with me . Oxygen face mass doctor and nurse too even the person who will faint’s buddy intensive care specialist. lol
I’ll be there when it happens it will be on my I6 phone straight to You tube. I can’t wait. Bring it on.
Here is a true story Dominicans. In 1995, I was a true UWP. I was all blue. However, in the 2000 election I became all red, because I was very upset I did not get to OWN one of the houses UWP built in Bath Estate. I was qualified, I turned in my application and it was approved. Somehow it was given to another person who was a poto labor. Today, she is the owner of the house while I continue to rent. That same story was too familiar especially in the Bath Estate housing scheme, where laborites got them and workers were turned down. Today we see laborites getting them for free while the rest continue to struggle, Anyways, I have decided to put country first this time around and voting Skerrit and his corrupt team will be my priority.
where is ur OUT lol more laughs
did you put country first when
hundred of thousands of dollars was swindled through bin bobol, and fertilizer bobol
when Dominicans didn’t work on major projects,
when you were a dual citizen
when land taxes were not paid
when 27 million was spent on the state house
when one individual was granted $500,00 plus tax breaks
when you told us go to hell
when passports were sold to many shady characters
Mr. Skerrit, I will gladly take your advice but I have three (3) questions for you sir which will help me see for myself if you put country first:
1. Mr. Skerrit, when you first got elected in 2000, what was your financial worth sir?
2. Sir, what was your financial worth (assets and money) when you were elected pm in 2005?
3.. Mr. Hon. Prime Minister, what is your true and honest financial worth today. Please feel free to include all properties such as villas, boats, backhoes, hotels, money or any other assets you may own but might be on the name of someone else, whether in Dominica or abroad?
Dude so after 14 in a job you come out with the same financial worth? Guess no one taught you to save!
If after even 5 years of running a countrya leader cannot improve his own self financial worth…….. DUDE CANNOT IMPROVE THE CITIZENS’!
Its not the matter of saving and bringing up your status….its HOW MUCH at the country’s expense. Im a Laborite, but that would be nice info to know.
Please share with us his mega successful investment undertakings.
Wow, he must have more than the Midas touch, if he was able to amass such colossal wealth in such a short period of time.
Please, please, please Mr P M share your investment methods with us as we would all like to emulate your financial success.
he will not answer these pertinent questions.
Do you wish the pm work for no pay.. Only an embed isle like u would do such a thing. Do you see the pm gambling, having expensive trips and gala chanting entertain inion would be supporters, or siwoing every when’d if not we’ll ask yourself where his money is going
He did not take a leaf from Instru’s book Cover ur tracks lol! Instru where ever you are in the Bronx ,NY write your buddie let him know how to .Have U printed ur manual yet?
Manual’s are very cheap to produce today urs maybe even cheaper 1 cent per manual for you lol!
right at this point in time anything is better than this dlp anything whatsoever
As much I think these guys UWP are/were jokers the Neo DLP make them look good in comparism.’s
My problem is after they are voted out what up? More Herring for independence day celebration next yr?
More Al Marsari mining?
More fountains on the Blvd?
Eddo replaces Charlo as president?
Instru returns like baby Doc did last year?
More duty free consessions for S__
Am afraid despite the neo Dlp’s need to vamos
Lolololll are you OK?
But pm u didn’t put country first.y should we.All u did was make yourself rich over poor peoples back.
people eating the crumbs that fall from his table. He suppose to be the servant of the people but he acting like he is the master.
Why skerrit makes it seems like the money in the treasury belongs to him and the DLP? Educated individuals will only laugh at this man. So he is telling the people vote for him because he can give them money, but dont vote for UWP because they dont have money. Is this man ok? Hope the people of Domininca knows the purpose of a GOVERNMENT.
lololol.. when he is leaving government he and his ministers will take all the money in treasury and leave it empty .It is theirs ..is so it seems…SMH
we will vote to put country first,we want a government that will put our MEN TO WORK FIRST so our children will walk with pride not come to a RED clinic,
Oh Oh Put country first. What you really telling us is to put you and your lazy incompetent government first . You must a think we all in D/A are a bunch of jack asses eh… You can fool some people some time but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time. In this day mr.pm anybody who gets fooled by you I can only say they want to be fooled and I don’t think they will be what I think is they will vote you because of sympathy you know how that goes, you give me something so I am indebted to you.but if the people would free them self from that mental slavery and open their eyes a little and not consider the self poor them mr pm am sure you would be asking them for something different….craziness!!!!!!!
skerro u really loosing it tell them
where u get your money from . change is must.
Because am putting country first I am asking you Mr. Prime Minister two questions:
1. Since the DOMINICA LATRINE PARTY has taken office how much money have you borrowed on our behalf and from who?
2. Who bank account has the biggest SURPLUS, the Commonwealth of Dominica or the Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Dominica.
Plz answer me so I can put Dominica first when am voting. THANK YOU
Does any sound minded citizen believe Roosevelt Skerrit? I guess he’s pandering to his base. Little does he know that even his base is now seeing and feeling the effects of the blatant lies he inflicts on them. They’ve had enough of his nonsense. Time is now to vote him out before it gets worst.
I am a strong advocate of putting my country first, but not Roosevelt Skerrit. Action speaks louder than voice. If he really puts country first, why did he rush his spouse to the U.S. to give birth to his son? If he puts country first, why did he give the Chinese jobs/contracts over his countrymen? If he puts country first, why did he choose a Grenadian who sang praises? These lies are too blatant even in the eyes of the bamboozled.
Why did he choose a Grenadian who sang praises to him for the magistracy over our local qualified professionals? The PM must stop belching unnecessary bubbles while he constantly puts his left foot in his mouthy. No doubt! CHANGE IS A MUST COME NEXT ELECTION.
boys with toys
poor fella…on his last days he continue to talk more nonsense. a sinking ship with a failed PM, failed cabinet of ministers. Skerrit the writing is on the wall, you must go. You can deliver 100 houses in each villages, your time is here. You never saw it coming huh? hahahahaha
we will continue to support a working government and keep the DLP in government. At this time around we cannot trust Dominica with Team Dummy in can headed by a novice.
Labour until 2025
skerrit was a novice at one time and the slogan I helped chant was….give the young man a chance so please know what a word mean before using it……..cccchhhhaaa
he was a novice in the prime minister office but had political experience as a minister and the operations of government before becoming prime minister.
Yes man do not forget you send your wife to america to make baby,i cannot afford to do that but i can and will vvvvvvoteeeeeeeeeeeee youuuuu outtttttttttttttt
I agree with the PM 100%, we should put contry first and forget about party. Listen, watch and think before you vote, do not listen to only one man, listen to all of them and them look at your pockets and think of what you have to do to if you want to be in a better situation “that is if you’re not well off already.
I am independent, I am Dominica(n)
PM ! you said so much and forget to remind us that when you came in 2000 you did not had a jacket to go to work and we the farmers had money in our pockets; now we have nothing and you have Millions $$$$$$$$; so you right you brought change in 2000
Skerrit does lie so much he still cannot prevent his tounge from mis leading people. Example skerrit says under workers in 2000 state college percent was low lol MY GOD in heaven state the Dominica state college was established in 2002 under labour … The very same college that is not accredited up till today jeezzzzzz
Ko-ki-yo-ko!!!
Yes I. The PM is at it again. No one can doubt him that Dominica has seen the transformation from an independent minded people, to one of dependency on a system he promotes. If I lie, go check the Red clinic. We’ve seen the transformation of a system that foreigners get the jobs over the locals. If I lie, go ask the Chinese. We continue to see closures of our once vibrant local merchants in Roseau, being replaced with stores selling inferior goods that do not warrant a refund if returned. If I lie, check it out in Roseau.
I am convinced that Mr. Skerrit has lost it completely. In his mind, he really believes that life is honky dory with everybody, to include his supporters who are privileged to get tax exemption and all the goodies, bribes and crumbs that his party dishes out in order to stay in power. In his mendicant society, how can he be so disillusioned and disconnected with reality? He knows very well that his model of socialism is a total failure. I guess he has to follow the ALBA play book even though his mentors in Venezuela are crying out loudly for “HELP”
I’d like to know after the PM sneaked in an entry-tax on visitors, though he told Dominicans and the world during his budget presentation last month “NO NEW TAXES,” if they the supporters will just accept the blatant lie again and again, and vote him back in for five more years of more blows? The Grand Bay yard fowl will continue to scratch-scratch during these hard times, while he keeps one head up to monitor the wicked developments of this incompetent government.
Some of you are lazy and don’t want to work why is it that the hatians getting jobs and you all are sitting on your behinds to go to the red clinic. You especially are no stranger to the social system. Go get hard work for you to do and get off dno with your rubbish comments. It’s people like you that forced the government to introduce a red clinic. All you keep saying there is no work and the Chinese have everything.. It’s not true check the number of Haitians in Dominica who are gainfully employed. You all prefer to steal and sell drugs for quick money and when you all broke come on dno and pass all you frustration. Cause you can’t by no bling.. Go get a job lazy.
That’s a desperate labourite speaking, spurring a lot of venom. Check your pressure.
Let the Haitiansick work while we wait for handouts and Red Clinic.
Let the Haitians work while we wait for handouts and Red Clinic.
Skerritt it is not from your pocket the money coming from ok. We taking everything but we still not voting for you what we need is jobs and Workers will provide jobs for us. You giving us dry bread where is the butter?
Most uwp supporters mind frame.
Only now Skerrit, it’s much to late!!you never see it coming ehh
YES PM! we waited 5 years for this day and study our leader for 15 years and we have became good little
children who is going to do the right thing which is put Dominica first ” I AM Dominica ” are YOU
Oh Yes…. we will definitely do that when the elections are called – Putting YOU out first that’s what we call “Put our country first”!
What does this man know about putting country first? This con game NEEDS to end sooner rather than later.
haha…another Joke from the childish leader..lol
isn’t his cabinet the Largest in the eastern caribbean?
why is dominica rated the poorest in the eastern caribbean under his leadership?
does he show any ability to understand how a economy rolls..
only in a foolish island like dominica would he embrace a red clinic giving cash handout to citizens..haha one man doing that for the population of dominica…lol
he has a right to say so, as it’s foolish citizens who live in Dominica they totally unable to correct a kid who is out of place!!
award winning island of FOOLS….Dominica!!!
You should be happy that he giving money to feed the hungry and poor. God will continue to protect him.. What r u giving that’s the question.. Me puris uneducated troll
You sound like someone who’s pocket is getting full in order to serve your master. Cooties to you Zumba. But somewhere in your comments above, u called someone Lazy….yet promote ppl going to sit and beg for money, while the country is being drained. dont u think it would be more benificial if our PM creates a form of employment so that all who comes to beg every wednesday can walk with their heads held high whilst they work hard and support themselves……AREN’T THESE PEOPLE THE LAZY ONES? Whilst young people like myself see people who refuse to work get free housing, foreigners purchasing land black is white and i have to struggle to purchase a piece of land in MY OWN COUNTRY? Nonsense. I work hard and have NEVER asked the Government for anything whilst being a Laborite from the first time i voted and gave the YOUNG MAN A CHANCE. answer that.
Mr. Zumba, go read an economic book
We have seen how you put the country first.
Good advice mr. Skerrit. I WILL put country first and not vote for you!
Here you go again…. Giving for votes. Please debate and stop trying to fool people. No matter who runs the government, their duty is to use the state’s resources wisely and not for political gimmick.
Those who know Dominica history should know that the transformation of Dominica education system to give all primary school students access to secondary school started with the UWP. Yes DLP continued and did what they had to do as the government of the day.
DLP should say they continued a process which was started and they did a good job with the follow up. They did not stop the process being vindictive to a project already started by the UWP.
You got guts! Your allegiance is only a the Barbadian Man. He is your wife stock and barrel. Is that what he told you to say? Why did you have your baby born in the America. Voting or not voting, one should always put God first, then all will fall into the place that He wants.
You are a thief in the dead of night. You are rally an A.M/P.M
But let me say to you that you should not allow people who cannot give you biscuit to take the bread from your mouth,”
This is the leader we have-for how much longer you’all?
Our nation has become a den of vipers. The corruption lies not with the common folk, but with their bought-and-paid-for or compromised leadership, while the common folk are kept in the dark. Cumulatively, all of these examples suggest that a strong argument could be made that unfettered greed finds its ultimate expression in systemic corruption which is frequently indistinguishable from insanity.
Lol lol ha ha ha we will surely put Dominica first but we will vote you and your novice and incompetence MEN and WOMEN out of office come next election. Call It Nuh
Well in 2000 the working UWP was changed to put in a pack of novices including Skerrit
I wonder if this man is practicing to be mad or playing mad or simply gone mad?
mr prime minster you need to take your own advice and put your personal issues aside and debate my linton…
My Linton for true you could not have said it better. What sweet in goat mout is sour in the bam bam call penguin
Crazy man
in 2000 when the labour party came into power under Roosevelt Douglas who knew Roosevelt Skerrit and was he a novice or a season campaigner when he first entered the political arena how much contacts did he have internationally . so when this man comes and call other novice we should remind the prime minister of he foray into politic
Ok Medard they hear you loud and clear. They have their homes/houses your Party have it’s promised their votes to Ti Papa 12 -48 votes from the 6 households.
What if they missing teeth and can only suck then the biscuits would soak better in their milk
In other words Medard some can prefer buscuits to bread Meaning they can keep the bread just in case.
Oh please Skerrit, who you fooling?
Skerrit boy, behave yourself you hear me! When I voted you in 2000, I was selling two hundred boxes of banana every week. Now I don’t have a tree remaining because you killed it. I use to sell a van load of oranges every 3 months; now I cannot sell a dozen. I use to have two pickups. Now I cannot afford a scooter. I use to have 5 men working on my field everyday; now I wish I could get somebody to pay me to work on their field at least twice a week. You have literally killed us Skerrit and we will let you hear our cry when you call it. Call it nou please? How long?
The P M is not even trying to disguise his blatant act of bribery.
How can voters put Dominica first, when the poor and desperate people are being seduced by freebies?
P M you should be ashamed of yourself.
And Dominicans you have a responsibility to your people and country. Take the freebies and vote for the betterment of our island and not for the augmentation of the P M’s wealth.
I am very disappointed In our P M’s unacceptable conduct.
We are and we will put country first at the polls Mr PM. #change
I do not usually agree with the points of view of the prime minister but he has finally said something that I am in agreement with. Putting the country first is at the foundation of any popular election and I thank the prime minister for saying what am sure must be on the minds of every civic minded voter regardless of their political colours.
I hope his call for putting the country first resonates with people who are ordinarily labour supporters who must now consider whether their love of country should take precedence over their political affiliation. In fact, I believe the prime minister’s statement will resonate most with this political sub set. They must reconcile their love of country with evidence that their ruling party has let their country down. The economy is in the worst state it has been, possibly in their lifetime. Their children graduate from school with a lot of education but to what avail? Where are the jobs to reward them for their hard work of study and discipline?
We are at risk of losing an entire generation who have known nothing more than frustration and disappointment about their political leaders.
So thank you, prime minister for reminding those who were in doubt that their primary and solemn duty is to put the country first and to elect a government that will do somethings differently, for a change: Focus on the economy, grow the economy, stop corruption, respect our institutions, give a level playing field when it comes to justice and equal opportunity for all.
Thank you, prime minister for speaking the truth, I hope your Labour supporters heed your work. You could not have said a more relevant and appropriate thing on the evve of the elections which you seem to be afraid to call.
Ref it sounds like a farewell speech to me . Lol!
I am confused, Skeritt is telling the people at Silver Lake, they must put country first, but he once insinuated to his supporters at a meeting at St. Joseph, they must put Skeritt first. At this famous meeting, we heard the case of the cheese, butter and milk. Instead of going through that alleluia with the Silver Lake people just throw a little plagiarism at them. “Don’t ask what your country can do for you, but what you can do for Skeritt.”
PM you dam right, that’s why we will put TEAM DOMINICA lead by this leader to put country fisrt (Commonwealth if Dominica) instead of taking all this money and especially pay all this huge salary to this journalist.
They will put the country first befoe you all sink it.
****WHAT”S BETTER FOR DA****
“why would the people of Dominica change a party that is transforming and changing the country?”
“The prime minister said his government has invested more in agriculture than any government”.
………………………………………………..
Maybe because the people of of Dominica don’t like the way the country is transforming & changing??
If this is a fact about the agriculture investment, then the of agriculture policies, infrastructure and plan is a GRAND failure.
There’s little progress in agriculture to show for such great financial investment.
-Thanks
Skerrit, we shall all take your advice but not your example. We will indeed put DOMINICA first and not party. You sure didn’t put Dominica first in the following:
1. You refused to give birth to your son in Dominica so he could be one of us; instead you went to the USA where his bread is already baked while the rest of us have to wait for crumbs that fall from your table. Did you forget to put Dominica first there?
2. You put Skerrit and the interests of Skerrit first, while Dominica was put on the back burner. Infact you even tried to change your nationality. Skerrit, when you were first elected by the people of Vieille-case constituency in 2000, it is a national fact that you did not own neither a car, a bicycle, or a computer. 14 years later, you have amassed more wealth than all Caribbean prime ministers whiel. the rest of us have gotton very much poorer. Did you forget to put Dominica first sir? So yes, we will take your advise but will not follow your example.
And how do you know all these personal information about one man. So many people are giving birth outside of Dominica why aren’t you commenting about this. What is so different about skerries because he has a son born outside of Dominica. Go around Dominica and ask how May kids were born outside you would be surprise my dear .
@Zumba, If I own a restaurant that is rumored to be untidy and you know I was inside the restaurant when food was ready, and I was hungry, but decided to go to another place to eat, would you not wonder why I did not eat from my restaurant? would you not have questions about my restaurant especially when you know I went to eat at a restaurant that I don’t speak highly of? That’s exactly what Skerrit did. He left DA while he is the PM and went to US to give birth. Why did he not go to Venezuella or China where most likely would be free/ Why go to the US when the world knows he is not a friend of the USA?
Foolish statement AGAIN Zumba….but u on a roll man? Mr. Skerrit is the PRIME MINISTER not a normal person in Dca. He has to be mindful of his movements as a Leader and thus a person under the microscope. If you boast the Dominica is a great country under your rule, then why not be elated in making your son a TRUE DOMINICAN????
Not one of your ministers put Da first , because if they did the economy will be much better today.
For sure I will put Dominica first and put DLP last.
But Mr. P.M , if we put country first we will not be voting for you!!
You are not the best person to lead Dominica in this current situation.
Skerrit you mean to tell me you only building six apartments for these residents of over hundreds in Silver Lake?? YOU GAVE THOSE APARTMENTS TO YOUR POTO LABOURITES in a pretty building and you call that development…I call it perks. LABOUR MUST GO!!
Ok Mr PM. You need a new talking point. You mentioned our healthy care when you talk about the icu. You saying how great it is for everyone except for you. In my personal opinion poverty has grown.not shrink. And if you say that your government is best to run the country.put up or shot up debate Mr Linton and prove it. I’m sick and tired of all this childish talk.
You are childish with a very poor education. What does a debate prove in developing a country go back to school land get off don. Don’t come on with your misery
Ask Obama, LOL wooosh.
This time around am voting to oust this Dominica Latrine Party big time.
Tiway yo!
why does dno print your ignorance .dno why dont you ask the pm who is the ambassador to nchina
wow my prime minister …GREAT…tell them our next five years is about the economy things will happen we will hav money in our pockets to spend…..
IDIOT
Espwar mal papie
oh yes boy when you go to the red clinic right?
You sound so stupid. Money from the Red Clinic that he passing backdoor to go to his office now. Laborites are really full of %^%$&(%@*. That’s why Skerrit goving you all toilet and pampers.
Skerrit you dont stand a chance if people really put the country first
Where is the census?
Good question. Where is the Auditor’s report?
I agree that we should put the country first when voting. Among the things we should consider, first and foremost, is the state of the economy.
We should put country first when unemployment stands at 25 per cent and unemployment among the youth hovers around 40 per cent.
We should put the country first when there is glaring evidence that the current regime is more focussed on their economic benefits than the well being of their constituents. They drive expensive SUV’s and built mansions that cannot be explained by their legal income. It is obvious that they have not put people or the first.
We should put the country first when the epidemic of crime is tearing apart the social fabric and the attempted murder of a retired magistrate was covered up because of political considerations.
We should put country first when the country is drowning in debt and tax payers money is used for all kinds of political shannigans including providing fictitious jobs to party faithfuls.
And most imortantly, we should put the country first when there is creeping evidence of the emergence of a dictatorship and now may be the last chance to redirect this country which is on a course of no return if we permit this regime to run amok in their corruption, arrogance and their lust for power at the expennse of the hard working people of Dominica.
If for no other reason, Dominicans must exercise their freedom to choose a different government because the worst thing that could happen to a democracy is for citizens to become complacent and accept mediocrity and corruption in the management of their economy.
What about the drug dealers who are building mansions and don’t gave jobs have you thought about his. These people are in the government they are working they can afford to buy the things they need you are jealous cause yo don’t have no SUV. Go and work save and you will live in a lap of luxury as wll bunch of losers
Biscuits, Skerro democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. Dominicans must vote to prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
lol i give you a house so make sure you vote for labor. haha ha lmao.
I HAVE CERTAINLY PUT MY COUNTRY FIRST …..
FIRST THING SKERRIT MUST GO…,,,,GET OUT….
THE DLP MUST GO…….FIRST THIING
