PM Skerrit urges Dominicans to condemn campaign of civil disobedience announced by opposition leader

PM Skerrit

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit is calling on the Dominican public to condemn the announcement by Opposition Leader Lennox Linton of a campaign of civil disobedience all over Dominica beginning on Monday 30th September 2019.

Linton took this action in furtherance of his party’s campaign to get Prime Minister Skerrit to account for $1.2 billion of Citizenship by Investment (CBI) funds which was not included in the 2019-2020 national budget that Skerrit presented to parliament in July, and until the list of electors is cleaned and ID cards for voting are issued.

He is seeking to confuse the people and he is also seeking to bring confusion in the country, and I believe every law abiding, every conscientious concerned Dominican needs to put aside partisanship and condemn this thing,” Skerrit said on State-owned DBS Radio this morning.

According to the Prime Minister, nowhere in the world a leader would call for civil disobedience.

“Civil disobedience means to break the law, to trample on the rights of citizens…and disrespect people,” SKerrit stated.

“Is that what we what for our country?” he asked.

Civil disobedience, also called passive resistance, is a refusal to obey the demands or commands of a government or occupying power, without resorting to violence or active measures of opposition; its usual purpose is to force concessions from the government or occupying power.

Skerrit said that a country is not built by confusion, “a country is built by a vision and a plan…and unfortunately Mr. Linton does not have a vision nor a plan,”

Meanwhile, the prime minister has suggested that these actions by the opposition to be taken in the upcoming tourism season, would not be good for the country.

“The tourism season is coming up…” he stated. “Tourists will not want to come to a country if they believe that they are not safe, and when a political leadership is calling for it people take it more seriously.”

Skerrit explained that the vendors, in various parts of the country who rely on the tourist dollar, “have the risk of losing  that because of Mr. Linton’s call for civil disobedience and unrest in the country.”

“It’s a deliberate attempt to seek to undermine the opportunities and the well-being and the way of life of Dominicans,” he said.

      jamie do you know what is civil disobedience? Do you know what is disobedience? to disobey? U mean u so hate the PM that u justifying someone who calls for civil disobedience to be disrespectful? jamie open your eyes and read again the article because your comment is out of context and just shows that u despise the PM for no reason whatsoever. You talk of lies which is not what the article is about. It is about refraining from civil disobedience. To be law abiding Citizens. Do you like or want to see civilians fighting agaisnt one another? Is this love? So u support civil disobedience? You guys cannot prove anything you say and makes a fool of yourselves showing hatred and commenting out of context. Love to you jamie.

    It is my understanding Roosevelt seems puzzled that Lennox suggest civil disobedience by demonstrating against the government, in order to demonstrate disapproval of the conduct, and corrupted behavior, of none other than the one man government Roosevelt Skerrit!
    Such demonstrations are mandatory in a democracy when there is sound, and compelling reasons to demonstrate the nation grievances; at this very moment civil disobedience has become necessary.
    One of the nation’s most pressing grievance, is the missing $1.2 billion dollars.
    If Roosevelt believe a leader should not call for civil disobedience, in a country someone need to introduce him to the late Thomas Jefferson former president of the greatest democracy on earth the U. S. A  who wrote:
    ” A little rebellion now and then is a good thing.”
    Thomas Jefferson wrote that while in Europe (Paris), on hearing of the Shays rebellion, and uprising of poor farmers against the government of Massachusetts in 1786.

So by the way this failed incompetent Skerrit has reduced our economy and nature Isle to the bottomless pit that was not there before him. Skerrit has ruined our nature isle. Has shown no respect and enthusiasm and foresight as t how and what is to be done to raise the profile of our nation. Well, its easy, get the hell Skerrit and his failed government out of our states business. DLP failed us big time. We now prepare for change and we Committed Dominicans will worked hard to restore our nation Dominica back to that level of decency. We need Skerrit and his corrupt failed Labour Government out ASAP.

        Good Bye, and Skerrit Get Lost. You are that failure to our Dominica. you have made a mess of it. Abusive Red Clinic, Bin Bool, Fertlizer Bobol, Red Cininc abusive Bobol. Etc etc.
        Skerrit must go and take his incompetent failed corrupted Labour government with you.

I do not like it that persons like you who are supposed to be intelligent would mislead persons like that. On another note dear Francisco – prove to me about the 1.5 billion.

    President (appointed by Skerrit) Charles Savarin gained nationwide recognition for two CSA-led strikes: the 1973 public service strike and the September–October 1977 CSA general strike that virtually crippled the island.

    Now Skerrit is asking us to “condemn civil disobedience.”

    All you here, who are comparing the principles of the Bible, with your leader’s wicked quest, know his plan is completely opposite of the Bible and God is very angry about his mentality.

    There are two concrete stories pertaining to “civil disobedience” in the Bible, but both of them were the people of God standing with Him, regardless of their outcome.

    Nebuchadnezzar cast Daniel and his friends into a pit of fire because they refused to worship him. That is punishment, but God saved their Life.

    Peter and John received a whipping from the Leaders of the Jews because they would not obey the command–not to preach about Jesus in Jerusalem. But they were glad to receive it for they knew that God was with them; the whipping did not stop them.

    Lennox’s ways are not about God; he is influencing you all to cause discomfort for the God-fearing people, to gratify his wicked personal desire– you all will have your reward in time. God’s Will be done

We will ALL have our reward, and since you like to read bible so much you must know that it is said” Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you.” All of all you bad mind and wicked, then praying thinking is heaven you going for sure and is you and yours alone god love. you will be surprised.

This is how we define “civil disobedience”. That has come fr within of this failed highly incompetent dirty failed labour government and its useless head and blind loyalty. The worse thing ever happened to Dominica was to take this immature little boyish boy and made Prime (Odd) Minister of our Domininca.

Monies does not come into the hands of the Prime Minister or any other Minister for that matter. There are accounts and those accounts are managed by the Treasury Department. And I will tell you one thing, Treasury doesnot pay monies out like this. There is the Audit Department too and everything has to be properly documented and follow protocol. Treasury the department where monies are not paid so with appropriate procedures. I tell you.

    It has become clear as “day is to night” that History was not your favorite subject, fake Dr Dr; because you would have learnt that lots of our renounced world leaders one of whom i’m sure became your mentor called for “civil disobedience” at one tine or the other during their lifetime; just to mention two of them, Rosie Douglas and Martin Luther King among a long list; for a leader who boasts that he is the most qualified and educated to be PM; it’s mind boggling how you got that one so utterly wrong; but then again what should we expect from “an empty bag of Coals but dust”

    Mr. PM, your focus should be on giving an account of the 1.2 billion; don’t try Trump-ism and divert attention to something else. The civil action call for is as a result of your non-action on the citizens of Dominica money. You cannot have it both ways. On one hand wanting people to give you 5 more years to manage the affairs and finances of the country, while on the other hand not wanting to give an account of the people’s money.

Regardless of whether he believes it is a bad call or not, he is accountable to Dominicans. I am starting to believe that he has been Prime Minister too long and he is starting to feel untouchable.

    Civil disobedience may be indicative of a lack of respect for the government, BUT NOT ORDINARY CITIZENS @Anon

    Sir/Madam, what is this nonsense that you are speaking above? Where in the World do know that civilians have the right to implement political laws that should be obeyed by their fellow citizens?

    And since that disobedience is against the Laws of the “ruling government”, where on Earth is that conduct acceptable?

    When the “Laws of the Nation” is disobeyed, who is going to suffer the pain, if not the law-abiding citizens?

    Then should those who disobey the law not be corrected? And these kinds of correction may go as far as a jail term-which will force further dispute. Therefore how is “civil disobedience” different from “civil unrest”?

    Is this the kind of Life the Opposition Leader of Dominica’s governing body seeking for the people of his Nation? Prime Minister of our Government, he wants to claim? May God forbid this!

    Campaign of civil disobedience is just that, peaceful protest. It is not a riot. People have a right to protest hence civil disobedience in any democratic society unless you are living in a dictatorship. That’s what Skerrit wants a dictatorship. He incited a riot when he told his followers to throw hot water on people, he should be arrested for inciting a riot, inciting riots is illegal in most civilized countries.

    2. I condemn Stealing-Thou shall NOT STEAL Exo 20:15
    3. I condemn Lying- Thou shall NOT LIE Exo. 20:16
    4. I condemn adultery- Thou shall not commit adultery
    5. .I condemn the spirit of all manner of murder: Thou shall NOT murder Exodus 20:13.
    Furthermore, Let’s not be like Caine, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous. 1st John 3:13

    So people as we vote these are the biblical values we must look for. We need a leader that will stand for and protect these godly principles; for that’s the ONLY way our country can be blessed. Othewise we will build but what we build will be destroyed because it is Righteousness that exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people Prov. 14:34

    “Skerrit said that a country is not built by confusion, “a country is built by a vision and a plan…and unfortunately Mr. Linton does not have a vision nor a plan. ”Skerrit, you are a big laughter. Please show us the vision that you have or had for Dominica and where has it been implemented. You are a damn big Joker. Let us help you with this fake abusive list of our states money: 1. Bin Bobol, 2. Fertlizer Bobol (A conflict of interest by having your brother or family in Pesylvannia involved, and 3. The Red Clinic Abusive Scam, having desperate mothers with children quing up at the Financial Centre Foyer to come to you begging for cash.

    Civil Disobedience
    Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.
    Civil Disobedience
    A symbolic, non-violent violation of the law, done deliberately in protest against some form of perceived injustice. Mere dissent, protest, or disobedience of the law does not qualify. The act must be nonviolent, open and visible, illegal, performed for the moral purpose of protesting an injustice, and done with the expectation of being punished.

    By peacefully and openly violating the law and submitting to punishment, those engaging in civil disobedience hope to draw attention to the law they hope to reform, the injustice they hope to stop, or the policy or practice they hope to end. By calling into question the justness, fairness, Equity, or propriety of the status quo, persons engaging in civil disobedience usually appeal to some form of higher law, whether it be the divine law of god, Natural Law, or some form of moral reasoning.

    The philosophical underpinnings…

    Some of the world’s greatest leaders used civil disobedience to achieve life changing accomplishments. Marcus Garvey, Martin Luther King Jr. participated in prolonged civil disobedience. Without these actions their people will still be treated like sub- human beings. If there were no corruption, victimization, discrimination, political tribalism and bad governance, Dominica would have been the GEM of the Caribbean. The Skerrit DLP led regime needs to move out and give way to astute leadership led by Mr. Linton.

If anyone knows deep within, whether convicted of or not, but deep inside they know they 1. they are guilty of stealing 2. guilty of killing (by the way paying people to kill is as bad as killing) 3. Guilty of destroying, then such person is one with and same as the devil.

      We shall uphold our right to self defense. The police cannot arrest you for defensive actions, for exercising your civil rights.

    Even ……. Elizabeth quoting scriptures; however, she quotes no scriptures where God told his people when to fight and destroy leaving no one alive!

    Civil disobedience or passive resistance is simple a technique of demonstrating opposition to a government’s activities, simply by not cooperating with that government.
    That technique is particularly associated with Mahatma Gandhi of India, and to an extent the late Martin Luther King who opposed violent in their own  country.

Very very clear to me, the DLP has NO sustainable longterm impactful vision. 90% of what they are proposing should have been addressed 10+ years ago. They only want to do it now because their jobs in jeopardy. Their plans have no real economic impact and many of them have been copied from the opposition. Yet he insists that Lennox linton has no vision. Why doesnt the PM debate Lennox. IF lennox so has no vision, is so not educated, is such the worst example of a leader, why not take the opportunity to totally crush him infront of the nation and seal your victory. Its because he knows he is wrong and he himself is scared of embarassment. Doesnt like to look bad at all. egocentric. I know the plans of UWP. They can transform the place

Further, the Opposition HAS CLEARLY EXPLAINED what they intend to do and how it will be achieved. There will be a series of peaceful protests as well the issuance of a request for investigation by foreign entities. They also intend to have an audience with the President of the nation. If you read the previous articles they clearly explain this. They also went on the radio to encourage Dominicans to EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS WITHIN THE LAW to support the movement which has stemmed from the refusal of the government to address a number of issues, (1) being electoral reform which requires the list of voters to be purged and (2) being the supposed missing 1.2 billion dollars.

    Skeritt Stop Misleading People.

    According to Skeritt: “Civil disobedience means to break the law, to trample on the rights of citizens…and disrespect people,”

    Definition:

    Civil disobedience, also called passive resistance, refusal to obey the demands or commands of a government or occupying power, without resorting to violence or active measures of opposition; its usual purpose is to force concessions from the government or occupying power.

    Encyclopaedia Britannica. (2019). Civil disobedience. Retrieved from https://www.britannica.com/topic/social-mobility

    Civil disobedience is the active, professed refusal of a citizen to obey certain laws, demands, orders or commands of a government. By some definitions[specify], civil disobedience has to be nonviolent to be called ‘civil’. Hence, civil disobedience is sometimes equated with peaceful protests or nonviolent resistance.

We are amongst the most acid people on earth. The tourist who co.e here are used to seeing demonstrations the limes of Which we have never experienced in Dominica. They are not coming from heaven. Did t he get the memo? It will be peaceful protest yo get him to speak or walk away. All of this could have been avoided if only he told us about the money. Back to the tourism business. I think what skerritt should be concerned about is the poor state of the cruise ship berth. Only one can dock at a time and if it is diverted the sector is dead. This should be the least of our concerns. Modernize the sector. Why aren’t ships docking in Portsmouth? Call it no vision and poor planning. Labor has outlived its usefulness. It’s time to kick them out.

    We will not be intimidated no matter how many swat team marching around Roseau. Civil disobedience is a tool used over world in the advance towards challenging bad rule and application of the laws of any country.

    No matter how many individuals you put on the streets of Roseau, I want to remind you that Roseau is not the only area in Dominica. Can you populate every street in the country with the same?

    “According to the Prime Minister, nowhere in the world a leader would call for civil disobedience.
    “Civil disobedience means to break the law, to trample on the rights of citizens…and disrespect people,” Skerrit stated.”

    Ummmm… Gandhi and Martin Luther King both engaged in civil disobedience. But I guess they’re not leaders right? Civil disobedience may be indicative of a lack of respect for the government, but not ordinary citizens. On the contrary, it is geared at empowering citizens. And through NON-violent means. At least pretend that some of us have a modicum of intelligence when you make your statements, Mr. Skerrit.

      Anon, I do not have any problems giving you thumbs up on this one.

      In my submission I quoted both Gandhi, and King before I read your comments; but  the shoe is on the other foot now so Roosevelt is running his mouth.

      Charles Savarin went beyond civil disobedience, when he destroyed the country in 1979; today he is appointed president of the country by none other than the cannibalistic minded Roosevelt Skerrit.

      He is giving people the impression that the UWP wants a violent revolution: that indeed might be the only way to get rid of Roosevelt regime.

    Unlike Linton, Skerrit had 20 years for Dominicans to see his Vision and his Plan. Where is it? We have not seen anything sustainable, even with the recent lavished spending at a scale somewhat similar to money laundering.

    The last 20 years have seen more Dominicans leave Dominica comparable only to the last mass migration to England in the 60s and 70s.
    A simple question was asked, and there has been no answer except the usual panic fluttering of a snared bird.
    This will be your undoing Skerrit. it is Time!!.

      Life and Death, Exceptionally good observation reference this failed immature Skerrit. After, before, and now Skerrit had, has no vision and worse yet, a plan. Failed Skerrit is not an intellectual, he`s just spontaneous and a big pappyshow who loves to be seen and heard and worse yet, enjoys making and alliances by giving endless handouts in food cash etc to poor people in ned hat he has created. After 19 years Skerrit has nothing to talk about his success , if he has or had any. Skerrit will be well known when he leaves office and will haunt him for life due to the states resources that we have learnt has been abused. For example, be reminded of the Bin Bobol, The Fertlizer Bobol and the Red abusive Clinic where he kept our poor people poor and deprived and he has created this Red Clinic where parents que up for big cash. Skerrit has ignored the resources of the Welfare Division with it commendable Officers and opened his office and gave out cash to poor people. Skerrit is a failedPM

    Listen Skerrit, there would be no need for any of this if you would give the people what the people demand. In case you have forgotten what the people rightfully demand of you:
    1. Independently audited CBI and PetroCaribe accounts
    2. Electoral reform

    Dominican needs to put aside partisanship and condemn this thing,” Skerrit said on State-owned DBS Radio this morning.

    Put partisanship aside and tell Dominicans to vote for whoever they want to. Do not tell them people will know who they vote for and use that as a threat. Don’t make it seem it’s vote Labour or else!
    Folks need to know where the money has gone so a silent, peaceful civil disobedience march will not hurt anybody…well except the guilty ones.

    Skerritt, it’s you who we condemn for bringing our country into disrepute by your actions and nefarious associates. You, Skerritt, have admitted that there is an amount of $1.2 billion not accounted for and you promised to deliver an account which is still pie in the sky. You paid Pricewaterhouse Cooper’s to issue a press release but we still have not received any thorough understanding of where the money went. Gregor Nassief is on record as admitting that there is a deficiency of information about the CBI schemes and monies. Yet instead of humbling yourself and coming clean you are playing games. The August body from the OAS and Caricom has given you a report to do with electoral reform and you have decided to go, rogue, and not implement all the sensible recommendations. What really do you want? If you want forgiveness for all those shenanigans done with the CBI funds, come out and say so. Instead, all we hear from you is Lennox Linton. Give it a rest Skerritt and good bye.

    Skerrit it is really very simple. Stop having shadow accounts where you funnel money to use and abuse as you please and there will be no need for civil disobedience. I don’t know of any government that controls money away from their treasury, except of course corrupt dictatorships where the dictator does as he pleases without oversight.

      ‘Something’ is very wrong with Skerrit. You are so right! We concur with you fully. The thing is when one takes an immature person to function as this Minister and then a challenged higher post as Prime Minister, Skerrit will fail and he has failed us. Skerrit has not done anything that stands out to compliment our journey to be a better Dominica. Skerrit is this failed Immature baby politician and should not be Prime Minister until he is 55 years old. He probably, maybe (?)would be mature and grown up then. Well, we are in 2019 and he has killed our agricultural industries, our farmers are struggling and all we hear about is sales (?) of our passports. However, our mature and professional Hon Linton, current Leader of opposition and Prime Minister in waiting will certainly stabilise first our government Cabinet. Then our Dominica to get back to work and no more begging and abusive Red Clinic where Skerrit has reduced our people to paupers and begging. Shame Skerrit, ou must go now.
