Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has said that this is the easiest election for Dominicans to decide which party comes into power.
In an interview with the State-Owned DBS Radio, Skerrit stated that if any citizen loves Dominica, they will vote for the Dominica Labour Party (DLP) as his team has outlined its vision and plans for the country.
The prime minister will be going up against the new United Workers Party (UWP) Candidate for Vielle Case, CLement Marcellin and as far as Skerrit is concerned, Marcellin poses no threat to him.
“The people know who has been with them for the last 20 years especially in difficult times; they have known where the constituency was when I became the member of parliament in 2000. From a national standpoint, we have absolutely no doubt that labour is going to return victorious,” he maintains.
Skerrit added that what the DLP has done for Dominica, especially after Hurricane Maria, has been exceptional and believes a vast majority of Dominicans have recognized that DLP is the party for the future.
He said the opposition is about destruction and violence and has no vision for Dominica.
labourites are going right over the clift with skerrit.the loyals see no evil and hear no evil they have blinders on.all the way to eternal damnation they going with master skerrit. David demolished goliath. goliath told David he was no competition for him. To Goliath, David was an insect. Mr skerrit you spit on top, but watchout: its falling back in your face. you are an arrogant fella, and now is good over evil.
You continue to waste Dominica economic resources and most times on one set.
You keep playing on the minds of the people, promising houses, giving out money,with your crooked smile. That too shall come to pass soon.
You will allow your cronies to bypass helping a needy person and give to another who can help themselves, just because they do not support your system.
Your time is up. Skerrit look around the constituency , IT IS GLARING.
The dunce pm transfered his vote to Roseau central to vote for his duncer wife so we voting for clement marcellin, clemo all the way.
RANDY X UWP left a debt of $452 million,They sold our DOMLEC for $21 million.In 2 years DOMLEC made a profit of $23 million.They sold our shares at NBD.Even their OWN they owe $5 million on LPO.The reaped off Social security,and had to give LAND at Warner in exchange.SKERRIT built 2 cities.The city of BELVUE CHOPIN,and the city of HILLSBOROUGH GARDENS ,more than what UWP did in 4 1/2 years.So who has destroyed Dominica? Not forgetting the re- building of Dominica after Maria.Lying ungrateful TRAITORS.
You and your corrupt thieving PM. Normally I don’t get involved with you because you are not on the required level, but since you asked a simple question I gave you an answer. For all we know, you might still see the light one of these days!
OK DEPUTY parl rep of Roseau Central.
I would wish for the people of Vieille Case would wise up.
Here you have a man who wants you to vote for him but isn’t even voting for himself. Here is a man who is willing to neglect his constituency because “dem people must vote for him” to become the deputy parl rep for Roseau Central and work under his wife. Here is a man who has total disregard for his people and his constituents.
And on the other hand you have a man who is willing to fight for you and has already been fighting for you. A man who will stand with you, hold you to the standard you deserve and build you up. A man who will not abandon you and give you his full support as he has been doing over the years.
Vote your conscience.
Do the right thing.
Vote the better man for the job.
Don’t just vote blindly or for cool-out.
Lennox Linton is voting in Roseau North so your argument makes no sense. Pm Skerrit in more in touch with his people than Clemo. Tell Clemo his deposit we want.
Buddy you started great but I think your head got to big. Sometimes I think you have a good heart but the people you have in your circle is giving you terrible advice. If these are your own doing then god help you. Not everyone wants a hand out they just want to work. You cannot have people coming from the united states, St martin and Guadeloupe to get government materials to build mansions in Vieille Case. Not because you are in charge you have the right to do it. A lady was living in a foul cage prior to hurricane maria. You gave them over a 100 thousand to build the husband took the money and carry it for spanish woman in possie. You still giving them a mansion and the rest suffering. People need to ask about the lady that calls the radio station from Amba. Then grab a camera and go in that area and they will see the amount of construction that’s going on in that hole. No one had a house hurricane maria destroyed it’s all houses for votes. And public servants cannot be paid.
Roosie, sometimes you need to shut up and listen. You honestly think Penville is the Penville of 15 years ago. We did not like the last UWP candidate but Clemo is one of us. You cannot win Vieille Case withot Thibaud and Penville. I was one of your biggest supporters but what you and Bookie doing in the village we had enough. We all know Bookie is doing your dirty work but enough is enough partner. You have adviser like people such as Bolo and you expect the place to get to the next level. You messed up our water system in Amba and Penville and no one can dear talk about it. To date we cannot get internet in Amba and Penville. Your sister that is in charge of Digiel is promising every time she comes to a meeting. You have teachers topping up their phones to do government work. You guys are more interested in building a mansion for a woman because she calls the radio station everyday to talk about labor. Roosie people are fed up in area with what you doing.
Mr. Roosevelt Skerrit, please give the people what they have been asking for – ELECTORAL REFORM. Why are you resisting!!! what are you afraid of ??? I used to have so much respect for you before, now I see how much you want to control the nationals of our beautiful island. This is not the way to govern a country. The world is watching and you are not looking good in the eyes of those who once admired you. Especially after hurricane Maria, we all looked on and supported your intentions. You are now going in the wrong direction with all that ‘cool out’ money you are distributing and the waste of money for non-worthy causes. Don’t you see the monies you are paying to all these foreign artist is not helping you gain additional votes. People who are on the fence will not lean towards voting for you now – they are disgusted by your actions. Public servants deserve a salary increase, police officers deserve a salary increase, schools need repair, etc, etc. DO WHAT IS…
PM you have put yourself in this position of distrust, I have always heard that power corrupts, you are in there for way too long. You turned from a humble young man (school teacher) who was elected to institute change and development in this little piece of PARADISE, you have certainly lost focus and you are now the richest man in Dominica, not by your family inheritance, not by a kind godfather, not by the sweat of your brow, but by milking Poor Dominica.
HOW MUCH MORE SAD CAN THS BE!!
I wish to remind Mr Skerrit of the words of FORMER PRIME Minister Perry Christie who stated prior to losing the election in 2017 that things were going so good that “God can’t stop him now”
I see Him Jones all over his face and I would not at all be surprised to hear of a similar end result.
All I will say is quite this “Jim Jones, age 47, was found in a chair, dead from a single bullet wound to the head, most likely self-inflicted. The death toll at Jonestown on November 18, 1978 was 909 people”.
Can anyone tell me how old is PM Skerrit? I know November 18, the date Jim Jones ended his life has passed but we still in the dangerous month of November and December, December people especially December 6 is not far. Think of what I say no and may the good Lord open your eyes of understanding.
The reason why the Jim Jones issue is not funny is that the punch line was too long.
ADMIN: We got that joke. Still not funny…
Go to hell Skerit! Ur reign has expired, period!
You can say what you want but WIN or LOSE you must GO! because the people will not allow you to steal another election ever again! Dictators do not go out by the ballots.
Skerritt, instead of fooling pooor folks, you better be aware that the Oas is watching you allllll. The world knows that you and your corrupt members refused alllll the recommendations of the OAs and other international agencies
You also refused to have Oas observers in Dominica for the elections….
You going around saying that the uwp is responsible for the state of affairs in Dominica but the world knows better.
Its seems as if, the world leaderz know about you.
One goood day Dominicans will come to their sense……
This is the most corrupt election ever… Millions of Dollars wasted while people still under tapolin…
Its also sadddd to hear that Deputy Pm saying that the money in the treasury is Skerritt money. Is there Dominica gone…..
“The people know who has been with them for the last 20 years especially in difficult times”,,,
If people from that constituency should ask Skerrit What has he done for their constituency???
For those asking that question allyou should go see what kind of mansion he built right next to some broken down dilapidated homes,,,
Not to mention when he built that Mansion it was said that he brought in guys from foreign to work on it like Dominicans don’t have Talent,,,
For the aforementioned reasons alone people should not want Mista to even be in the next cabinet much less for being any influence in making Dominica move forward,,,
Skerrit if you reading this why don’t you have a debate with your opponent nuh if you tink you secured in your seat,,,
Mr. Skerrit, as you are talking. Tell us how you are paying for that mega million dollar mansion in Morne Daniel? You are a civil servant and civil servants are not rich. Up to now, you have not accounted for 1.2 billion dollars of the state’s funds, is this part of the reason? It will make a perfect rehab center and temporary home for the many paros in Roseau.
We the people of Dominica wish to thank the following groups (NOT SKERRIT) for assisting us after Hurricane Maria (to name a few):
Dominicans in the diaspora.
Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency.
Red Cross.
Pan American Health Organization.
International Organization for Migration.
UK Aid.
USAID.
European Union’s humanitarian arm (ECHO).
Australia Aid.
World Bank.
China AID.
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
Neighboring countries.
Venezuela, Palestine, Cuba, Jamaica, and other countries and groups too numerous to mention.
Don’t forget Israel.
bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do? What you gonna do when Trump comes for you? You think you going to establish a dictatorship in this country? you lie! no electoral reform. no election! Have you read today’s OAS report by their Deputy U.S. Permanent Representative? They are not happy with you, Mr. Skerrit for throwing their recommendations in the trash. They know what is happening here. If we do not remove Skerrit now the US will soon impose sanctions on us.
Trump? Who is he coming for? Trump is a bigot who does not care about an island that has less than 1% of people like him, whites. Name someone else for your song reference. He will not be your savior this time around.
Obviously he will win, i’m just interested to see by HOW MUCH….
I really want this rogue to lost his seat! I hope the people of the Vielle Case Constituency give him the shock of his life!
If Dominican give this fake DR another 5 years. They will get whatever they deserve. No international airport, No hospital in marigot, Roseau will remain a mess, Roads and bridges in a mess and the list go on. Not forgetting the line at the red clinic will get longer. My people need to educate themselves about these kind of people running the country 😭😭 people in the 3rd world countries are so easily fool.
I am from vieille case, so am in place to ask you sir, what have you done in the constituency: fix the road so your visitors can come and see you and say good road, put light on the thibou and vaicase playing field? other than that here’s what you have done: dis-banded autoo so no boats can come in there anymore, and no one can bath there again, break down the primary school in Thibaud and force the children to be in a cube. promise the farmers sale for their plantain and yams which you never did achieve. promise them that you going to build house for them in lowoo on wilis leblanc land which you have not bought and he have no intention to sell to you. abandon the penvile people where as they a the ones them make you win the constituency seat. vieille case people dont’t vote labor sir, i keep telling you that. your seat was base on penvile and thibaud. now what have you done for them. you promise us $15,000. for penvile/capuchin tourism development enhancement project we a yet to…
UWP and their supporters are so lazy,they don’t even remember,DOMINICA was non-existent after Maria.These TRAITORS work up like,a resurrection waiting for JUDGEMENT DAY
Every bridge crossing the Rosesu river from the NORTH was built by the LABOUR PARTY.Everywhere you go in Dominica you SEE LABOUR.More than 26,000 registered vehicles.3,400 NEP.243 yes we care.834 clear harbour.3,000 state college.MORE than 9,000 engaged.The SCOTTSHEAD SEAWALL and the WINDSOR PARK STADIUM cost more than all UWP projects ,during their time(UWP) in office.So Mr.PM,there is no competition in Cottage,Portsmouth.Colihaut,St.Joseph,Mahaut,Roseau Central,Roseau South Roseau Valley,Soufrere Grandbay.Petite Savanne,Wesley,Laplaine,Castle Bruce.Salybia.The only seat UWP looking at is SALISBURY.These UWP are so LAZY,they do not even do their GROUND WORK.
yeah you get bridges and road and you also get a country who have lost its value and dignity . yes you get cool out, but you lost respect for hard work and achievement . come on lin Clown tell us how much do you get from them ? what did you get from them , to be able to sell your soul? wake up Garcon ! if you are a real patriot think of your kids think of tomorrow.
Dominica has remained 20 years behind the other countries in the Caribbean.
Tourist arrival to Dominica is the lowest in the caribbean
Agriculture is on life support.
Manufacturing is dead.
Sports is low.
Medical schools are also on life support.
Banks are feeling the squeeze.
Population has turned to a form of begging.
High migration to the other neigbouring islands.
Govt is unable to raise minimum wage and to increase salaries to public officers.
It is unable to stimulate the economy.
Etc etc.
Our Prime Minster, Roosevelt Skerrit said he gave the electoral commission $6,000,000.00 to make electoral reform happen. Up to now there has been no electoral Reform.. My question. Is: Where is that money?
Gerald Burton. Oh ti largent la?
Anybody, intend to vote labor into power based on Roosevelt distorted blurred corrupted vision for the past twenty years, there is no possible way one can describe them.
Roosevelt vision for the past twenty years is doing nothing, his vision is simply making the same empty promises over and over delivering nothing.
There are no variations in his promises; day after day it’s the same.
Roosevelt does have any answer to Dominica’s economic woes; not even the Chines are interested in doing anything significant to assists Roosevelt in job development, creating employment; their interest in Dominica is their own.
It has nothing to do with job creation via industrial investments.
Dominica is a failed State, a failed country; one where there is no hope for a better economy, or hope for employment opportunities; anybody who vote for Skerrit simply to get a few dollars from the sale of passports is not wise.
The $120.00 and rum he distributes to attend his meetings don’t…
UWP back is against the wall so now they turn to distruction and violence to win votes in a time when they should be presenting a plan to the people, it’s obvious it’s 5 more years.. Labour Power!
Vielle Case, are you listening? Hopefully there are some right-minded people up there who are not addicted to the red koolaid. Open your eyes and mind, and understand what is before you, and what is to come if things continue as they are. Stand up Vielle Case, don’t leyt anyone brag on your head.
“We have absolutely no doubt that labor is going to return victorious,” he said:
Hmmm! I remember in 1993 when the Toronto Blue Jays were vying for the World Series, a second time in a row, they were playing against the Atlanta Braves. They were coming home with a 3-2 lead to play games 6 and 7.
The Toronto Sun was asking their fans to speak something encouraging to them.
One of the fans said to the Sun, I don’t have to say anything, I just know that they will win–good Lord!
They were behind scores in the 9th inning and Joe Carter hit a home run with guys on base to give the Blue Jays their second World Series win back to back–that was glory for the fans, wee!
So that fan knew what he was saying, just as PM Skerrit does.
People will call it arrogant, but there is a gift from God which is “hope”, this hope cannot materialize if we don’t speak it out.
PM Skerrit is right on! And it will be glory for his followers, wee!
Liz, need I remind you this is not a football game.
Lennox Linton is voting in Roseau North so your argument makes no sense. Pm Skerrit in more in touch with his people than Clemo. Tell Clemo his deposit we want.
Liz, God doesn’t subscribe to wrongdoings. Skerrit is the exact replica of Lucifer. Satan is the greatest Liar, Skerrit a very close second. Liz, go and bruise your knees in repentance for blasphemy. Mentioning your idol’s name and God in the same sentence is sacrilegious.
Does he even know which constituency is his? Does his constituents know him?
With an already padded ballot box, the paid for chartered flights and no electoral reform he counting the chicken before they hatch. Sad situation for Dominica.
Amen and amen PM, ce douvan nous ka allez avec LABOUR.
Can someone please tell Roosevelt for me that Thibaud, where he is blindly supported CANNOT make him win! The brains of the constituency are from Vielle case and Penville and that’s where the votes are. Not Thibaud where he has 60% of the votes. Based on what I know is happening on the ground Skerrit will have a very tuff battle and I won’t be surprised if Clemo gives him a beating.
Not because things look good for you and the people around you means that’s the voice of everyone. Not everyone eats at your table, when you have steak, lamb, ribs and $20 grapefruit juice, you feel accomplished because you couldnt have done that 15 years ago. But your ( not really yours) public servants still going broke by the 16th and by the 25th hoping you will give the Ok to pay salaries, so they will be able to take bus to go home.
Little that he knows. He will not feel or see the competition now but on election day he he sure will feel it and see it. I am from Penville and I sungi the red song and dance the red beat and bI know they have me in their red bag. But election day I and many others will give him a shock he was not ready for. Does he think we are still Penvillian goats that have forgotten about the pencille five? Tell him to wait
If you are that confident, Mr. Skerrit, then what’s your problem with electoral reforms? Your show of bravado is yet one of your big, fat, juicy lies. Could you please Mr. Skerrit, stop the earth from rotating, hop off, and make most Dominicans happy? Your overly inflated ego needs deflating. Your callousness and evil deeds will boomerang right back at you. Remember Karma from hell.
He really think we just going to vote for him like we blind Mr pm tell us his long you broke down our school in Thibaud you only came around recently because election close you came making like you come an look at houses that are building an you still play politics with them martial taking months to come till you all could not finish none an could not start the others come better than that
Be careful with such confidence
Doh worry about the Frundel and St. Clair felt the same way in BIM, Tanto Tanto
All you and the DLP have done for Dominica is empty it’s state coffers and introduce corruption all over the island. That’s it. Full stop.
Skerrit’s plans hardly come to fruition. Look at these:
*International airport-non-existent
*Geothermal energy – fruitless
*Roseau enhancement- false assertion
*ROSS replacement – whopper
*Margot hospital +10 Health centres – Nada
*Pension increase for former Prime Ministers – boldfaced lie
*Uptick in economic activity – mother of all lies
Skerrit and his over bloated, docile, sheep-like Cabinet at lest two generations to play catch-up with the rest of the independent English Speaking Caribbean. Another 5year term wild further set back Dominica four or five generations. Give them ( DLP) the ink index finger on Election Day.
“Marigot Hospital!”
Let me say here one of the reasons when hurricane devastate Dominica, the Federal Government of the United States does not make any significant contribution to aid in reconstruction is all due to the fact that corruption is over-rampant in Dominica.
Because of Roosevelt corruption known all over the world; the United States will never give money to a country; where they know the donation they make will go into the pocket of Roosevelt, and his colleagues.
The Mexican government has given to our people enough money to build a new hospital in the village of Marigot; what has Roosevelt Skerrit done with the Mexican donated money, only Roosevelt knows!
How, and why there are people in Dominica still supporting that corrupted crook; I don’t know.
The man is a damn t….! he is only concern about how much he can stuff into his pocket!
One billion two hundred million dollars: ($1.2 Billion) are missing. That amount of money could have built a new International…
You Ibo France again. Are u in Dominica? I am sure you are not. U would not talk so. Roseau enhancement – false assertion u say wee?? Garcon u people really! That is why I am so sure u have not visited DA in a while. I hope you are not the one who cannot return legally. Partner take a trip home come see for yourself. You will probably come back door if you cannot come front door. I am sure when u come u will not want to return to where u are. Just telling u. Geothermal not completed but works are ongoing. That is why I say u not here.
Untruth Be Told
You are nothing more than a pathetic fanatic of the most corrupt government in the Caribbean probably the world. Building a few apartment buildings is nothing to crow about. Dominica is light years behind all the independent islands in the OECS and that’s a factual assertion. Geothermal energy is a farce under Skerrit’s stewardship. This will never materialize under DLP rulership. Only small, fish brain people can be fooled with the recent steam. By the way, stop assuming about my whereabouts,. I breathe and live Dominica daily.
Uwp plans are as follows.
Where is the 1.2 billion?
Calls for civil unrest.
Electoral reform.
Skerrit must go.
UWP never call for civil unrest brother and they did not call to pour hot water on their opposition. Roosevelt Skerrit is such a Machiavelli I believe it possible he could use agents provocateur to stir up trouble so he can declare a state of emergency, blame the opposition and ask Caricom troops for help, specially to check the polling stations so local people cannot stop imported voters from making their cross
and afterwards to use the same troops to escort those mercenary voters back to the ferry and the airport. I would not put anything like that past a devilish man, trust me.
Is that national news? Chupes
As far as Roosevelt Skeritt is concerned, Dominica did not exist before Hurricane Maria. When talking about the performance of his Government , he only mentions after Hurricane Maria.
Where is the Missing monies Skerrit?
You will be getting a good beating in Vielle Case. Never to resurrect again.
@TeteCarlbass, your name justifies your thoughts: “Dominica did not exist before Maria”!
So you are saying that Maria came with Dominica, just to crash her down and leave?
And if I should accept your thought, which makes no sense, whatsoever, don’t you think that PM Skerrit did a grand job to bring a nonexistence Dominica into a beautiful civilized Nation today?
Also, you have silently given him the credit for what Dominica is today. Silent as it may sound, I heard it wee!
People, think before you speak so that people of wisdom will receive your thoughts
that’s why his hoping to give us a new Dominica again he cant say that it for him because that would be the truth and by now the world knows well that our pm has are very big problem spaking the truth sorry for our country
…and after the hurricane he did nothing but bribery, worse even all that bribery is financed with money that belongs to ALL of us!
I would not be that arrogant and cocky Roosevelt. How often have you been on the ground in Itassi lately. You dont even live in the house you built there. I really believe you have lost touch with the people.
my friends when are we going to get it to our heads this pm and his gov is not about us we are not his people cant you all see this come on my people what do we have to give to these guys nothing that’s why they put us the Dominican people way in the back to seat wake up my people this game is not for us that’s the big boys thing
The cockiness and arrogance of this man is unbelievable
Who more cocky, arrogant and stubborn like your leader LL?
Who likes to blame others for their shortfall? In the violent – young people. Who will not accept correction or listen to those even in his own party? who instigates violence, walk outs? Who supports violence and says so with a smirk on his face? Who is working day in and day out to destroy what has been built. who rejoices when hurricane strikes and blames one man who is hated by you stupes and all the other blue Blue who cannot even think for themselves and repeat whatever they hear without finding out if it is the truth?
God doesnot sleep. He knows all our hearts and the schemes under cover. Take note and do not stupes but put in your pipe and smoke. Put your thinking cap on.
