Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has responded to recent reports of a documentary by an international news agency which is scheduled to be aired later today and which names Dominica as one of the countries involved in the alleged sale of diplomatic passports.
According to the reports, Al Jazeera’s investigative unit has discovered the secret sale of diplomatic passports which it says, has helped keep some Caribbean politicians in power.
Skerrit said these are allegations made by the United Workers Party (UWP) which they have been making up for years.
“I have been informed that Al Jazeera plans to do a documentary on Dominica about the alleged sale of diplomatic passports in Dominica,” he said.
According to Skerrit, the allegations which are being made were sent to him.
“I noticed, as you will notice, when the story is broadcast, that the allegations are the very same ones that Linton, the UWP and Mas In De Cemetery have been making up and repeating for several years.”
Skerrit said it was clear to him, “as it will be to you” that either Linton, the UWP directly, or their foreign collaborators, provided this business information to Al Jazeera for political reasons.
He warns that people who libel him, “will find themselves before the courts.”
“What I am more concerned about, however, is the recklessness with which Linton and the UWP are seeking to darken Dominica’s good name,” Skerrit complained.
He continued, “Linton is desperate and this desperation means that he and his agents and supporters will do all in their power to legitimize their lies by using foreign agents and organizations and Al Jazeera is now one of them.”
The Prime Minister went on to say that it saddens him as a Dominican and as Prime Minister, “to tell you” that the UWP is trying to weave a negative narrative about Dominica in chaos.
“They are going through great lengths to spread this false narrative in an attempt to de-stabilize Dominica and to make the way for foreigners to come and take over our election process,” he remarked.
Meantime, Opposition Leader Lennox Linton responded to Skerrit’s statements while addressing a large gathering of UWP supporters during a rally at the foot of Federation Drive, in Goodwill on Sunday night.
“I, Lennox Linton, have also received from Al Jazeera allegations about me being involved in the sale of diplomatic passport business, but I am not afraid and I don’t have anybody to sue,” he said.
Linton indicated that Al Jazeera claimed that they have done their investigation, so they will report what their investigations are.
“I know that they have not investigated me and they cannot investigate me and find anything about me being involved in the sale of diplomatic passports,” he insisted.
He continued, “They can create a story and try to connect me with it, that’s fine; investigative people do that.”
Linton added, “What will happen though, and I hope they will be around for that, Al Jazeera will be invited to come to Dominica to report on the enactment for the first time in the Caribbean, in the history of the Caribbean, of The Prevention of the Sale of Diplomatic Immunity Act to be passed in the house of Parliament in Dominica under the watch of yours truly and the United Workers Party-Team Dominica within the first 100 days of our administration.”
The documentary will be aired on Al Jazeera at 4:00 pm today.
DNO administration, I have observed that on two occasions you did not post my comments.Why? I wonder
ADMIN: For guidance we refer you to our comment policy: https://dominicanewsonline.com/news/policies/#comment-policy
If you believe your comment adhered to our policy you can resubmit your comment or email us at [email protected].
What is the purpose of the black man on this earth? Can a black man say he loves with the same intensty that he hates. Why is the white man still capable of causing confusion and distraction among the unsuspecting blacks. What a travesity. Jesus take the wheels.
See UWP you all are all getting caught in this ridiculous cycle of garbage the web that you weave you get caught in it. You all have discredited and continue to do this as a party. Mr. Linton as an investigative reporter per you and others see your words:
“They can create a story and try to connect me with it, that’s fine;
investigative people do that.”
You are now having those who read see you as SUSPECT in all the reportings that you all have been making and allegations. So your campaign people need to FACT CHECK YOU ALL.
That is your motto boss.
Legacy of winning!!!!!!!
If Skerrit had used the money for roads, schools, and hospitals instead of T-shirts, coolout and ‘plane tickets, he would have no problem. Taking from rich criminals to feed the poor, he would be our Robin Hood. Instead he listens to SC and others who only think “What’s in it for me?”
Go ahead Skerrit, take Al Jazeera to court! I would love to hear the rest of this story.
Yesterday those hooligans of Linton, the crab 🦀 was having a sing and dance calling Mr Skerrit names. Well Well what a day makes today it is our day to sing dance Lennox Linton, has brings shame on them suckers and nasty gutter ratbags. Thank you
Al Jazeera exposed those stupid suckers for what they are crooked and Lies.
Based on what you have said it would seem also that Government also fit into the mold of “stupid suckers for what they are crooked and Lie”.
ALL then should be examined and brought to justice irrespective of party. It cannot be that UWP is good and DLP bad or vice versa, DLP is good and UWP bad if all were implicated in the documentary.
They must all prove their innocence. We must not follow any political party blindly. ANYONE FOUND GUILTY SHOULD OWN UP AND DISAPPEAR, WHOEVER THEY ARE.
UWP and DLP must prove their innocence.
And if after this anyone accept that UWP erred but DLP is good or vice versa then I no longer blame any of the politicians . I NOW BLAME THEIR SUPPORTERS.
THE UPHOLDER IS ALWAYS WORSE THAN THE THIEF. It means we support crap even when we know it is not right whoever it is – whether Skerritt or Linton. NOW THAT IS EVIL & UNGODLY.
My country needs Political Hygiene because it is rendered filthy. I feel ashamed and annoyed.
About the PMs speech in St. Joseph
Right before the speech, the DJ played this song, “you’re still the one I want”…” you’re still the one I kiss goodnight”. Gross! I threw up in my mouth several times 😝 😷 .
Then he started his hour long rant that consisted of three ideas:
1. Lennox Linton is bad
2. The capitalists cannot tell us socialists what to do
3. Make sure you go and vote on election day, oh and by the way, do not bathe before you go. (Bathing will wash off the witchcraft from the night before)
I am concerned about our PM. I am convinced he is suffering from some kind of mental illness. It is really sad.
Stop throwing MENTAL ILLNESS around. You all seem to be taking this as a JOKE – your SUPPORTERS ARE TAKING THIS LITERALLY causing problems for people. These have implications it will soon SHOW.
Roosevelt, why issue this preposterous threat to sue anyone who libels you over the Al Jazeera disclosures when your misdeeds are already in the public domain. There is no need to libel you with all the evidence that speaks for itself. You have too high an opinion of yourself I’m afraid. The opposition did not weave anything. You wove that web of deceit all by yourself. And not one word of apology to all the Dominicans,, myself included, who now feel embarrassed and ashamed to have our country tarnished by your actions, but maybe that is too much to be expected from a psychopathic personality like you.
The look on the face of this speaker tells the whole story. I saw a look of extreme concern, and maybe even fear. This individual should just resign, and ask one of the Chinese agents residing up there in the “chinese embassy” to take him to china, or Macau, or Malaysia. Europe will not want him, he just got done insulting the Americans, so let his chinese agents take him to a place of his friends, Cuba, Venezuela, or the other mentioned countries. Oh, and take your cabal with you.
Here is a much longer version of the Al Jazeera investigative report just released that is very damaging to Prime Minister Skerrit and his government:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m1Yba1-ijh4&feature=share
This is far worse than anything Donald Trump has ever done in America.
Time for yours truly the minister of finance to flee Dominica to Florida with all the loot while he has a chance where the FBI will be waiting for him.
All yours truly the self appointed “minister of finance” needs to do is give a full accounting of all the money that is supposed to be in the treasury especially from the sale of passports and citizenship to nefarious characters for the past 18 years and he will be in the clear.
You see a jacka.s, you ride it! This is exactly what is happening here but, you cannot blame the politicians…you blame the people who keep electing them. Dominicans want this and accepts it by continuing to reelect these misleaders over and over again. The embarrassing part of this report is that I am Dominican and it is hard to tell people that I am from such a corrupt place…can you imagine you using all this money to by tee-shirts etc…insane…but the people and jumping up and happy. Yes, other countries have similar issues but for a small country like Dominica with so much poverty, you would think these people would care about the people and country. So, going forward, I do not want anyone to blame the White Man or USA for Dominica current state of underdevelopment…you should now say, it is the Black Man that’s keeping the country back and suffering of its people! But seriously, the PM should be investigated and should not every sleep with his eyes closed.
I have identified some startling comparison between Skerritt and Trump.
They lie all the time to the people,
Their supporters could care less what they do or say,
They are corrupt and deceptive,
They refuse to disclose their financial entanglement,
They use the state’s resources for their personal benefit,
They govern like dictators
They love RED
@Royal. Maybe you could wonder how Saint-Vincent & the Grenadines is doing it. They are not selling their citizenship and have choosen another path for developping their country.
…and they built an international airport!
Why should the government want to depend on the sale of passports only, when there are so many other areas that the government can invest and get money from.
The National Employment Programme is for supporters of the Dominica Labour Party, non supporters cannot get a job under the NEP.
If you not red, you are not eligible to get any kind of assistance under the government, which makes no sense because the money does not belong to the government.
I just want everyone to be treated equally, stop giving one set all the time. There are people who are in need in the Kalinago Territory, and they are just not getting any assistance. Yet they passing at people home and telling them what the government has done and to vote for the Labour Party.
But I say Change Is A Must.
Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit you and your corruption have destroyed Dominica. Lennox Linton did not sell Dominica diplomatic passports to crooks and criminals, you did! If you have done no wrong and have nothing to hide, then what are you afraid of?
This sociopath of a PM lives by the rule – he’s a toxic person. He is used to always getting his way, getting attention, and most of all, blaming Hon Lennox Linton and UWP for the mishaps in his shoddy management of Dominica’s political and economic affairs… and even in his life. He constantly pays attention to the small details when trying to lay blame on Hon Linton / UWP. Such behavior is a deep-seated part of his character, becoming an expert at this manipulative tactic.
I have been to many places and I will tell you everyone knows Dominica sells passports to the highest bidder. The PM knows who he is supposed to take to court but he won’t because he knows that “man” will put alllll his business outside. In his eyes Linton is an easy target, so he is singing to his base “Linton Linton Linton”. I said it before and I will say it again. The sale of a country’s passport is a dangerous business. Play with fire and you will get burned.
Dr. Skerritt, stop embarrassing our people. Both M/s Francine Baron and yourself have embarrassed us and this is no longer acceptable. You are embarrassing not only Dominicans but the Universities in their wisdom who have conferred their honorary doctoral degrees on you. I guess they are now regretting and they would be well advised to withdraw their degrees.
Imagine, an international news agency has decided to investigate a program which is riddled with corruption and led by you and instantly you blame the opposition for the inquiry. Why are you so nervous? just allow the investigation to be done and the findings revealed. It is only an investigation, Dr. Skerrit, nobody has been accused yet. Your anxiety seems to add truth to the adage; Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. Are you, the head of the program uneasy? Sir unlike your posture on the OAS findings that there was a need for electoral reform, you are powerless to stop this investigation; so just stew in your own oil.
Lynton your response is very poor. You know exactly what you are doing. I really don’t understand how a man want to lead a country and distroy it at the same time.
Skerrit, the people do not libel you but they rather speak the plain truth. You have been selling our diplomatic passports the same way you keep selling our other passports. Where is the money for those passports???
I thought skerrit said linton has no friends and no one knows him. Amazing how all of a sudden linton has international friends. Well i must say if linton has friends with Aljezeera i say we need to hurry up get him elected because he can get good exposure for Dominica. I must say that man without a college degree is really out maneuvering the double doctor. First it was tbe guy who linton was trying to sell state land only to find out the labour party brought him with assistance of state resources to do a movie production using LL security cameras. The only thing they were missing in the 3 takes was one guy saying “action”. Today the lies continue with blaming of UWP, when is the ruling party that has sold all the diplomatic passports to criminals seeking immunity. Labour supporters are willful idiots to believe is LL giving Dominica bad name. One thing i learn is the importance of having good mother and father in kids life cause the creature you made can corrupt a nation.
Skerrit stop putting blame on other people to deliberately reject your self from this debar that your government has created and disturbed, just like the Bin and the Fertilizer Bobols. Recall when you were captured and you said it was a mistake. Hon Lennox, Linton exposed your nonsense and from this I concluded that you should not and never be a Prime Minister AGAIN of our nature Isle, let alone to be President of a Youth Group. You are devious, a big failure and Immature to the bigger picture off what it is to manage a country professionally and decency to the benefits of our people, in particular those who are vulnerable, and not for those who wish to fleece out states funds and resources for political gains at the expense of the people`s finances. Skerrit must Go, he has failed and we need new decent professional leadership. We do not need no playboy running our government and country, we need a decent person who is professional and sufficiently mature and professional. Amen
Skerro what about your partners in crime who are in jail now..
Skerro careful. You may burst a jail anytime.
“The Prevention of the Sale of Diplomatic Immunity Act to be passed in the house of Parliament in Dominica under the watch of yours truly and—-Team Dominica within the first 100 days of our administration.”
Well, well, well! Linton, you are so full of yourself, it is pouring out all over you.
You are confident that you and yours will be the government of Dominica for the coming term, you cannot even wait to spill out your plan for the Nation.
But how tasty do you think your first plan is; the one which you will establish just 100 days after you take over, to rule Dominica?
I don’t think it will be sweet at all–not even for those who would have allowed you to take that post.
Man, you know that you are on your way down to your abyss of darkness; but if you think you can take Dominica’s social and economic development down with you, stop fooling yourself; for your self-pride and conceited desire will not come to fruition. Dod forbid!
Elizabeth even if Roosevelt would give to a million diplomatic passport to sell; you that woman would sell them and give Roosevelt all of the proceeds and claim it never happen.
Why do you continue to defend a damn dirty crook; that boy is involve all sorts of crime against Dominica, crimes which most definitely will land him in jail when the time comes.
Do you know anything about the media AL Jazeera? I mean you riding on Lennox back everyday making a complete fool of yourself, while ignoring the thievery committed against our people by this certain individual. Don’t blame Lennox; you don’t know what you are involve into. You are into the color red, and upholding Roosevelt corruption, meanwhile the real issues of the country you ignore. I know for a fact you do not watch TV nor listen to Radio, so let me ask you this; where do you get your information from? Do you have a direct conduit (pipeline) to the corrupted crook Roosevelt Skerrit; if that be the case he is making a…
Skerrit, we know you fear Hon Linton and his highly professional UWP, who will make the next government after the people of Dominica kick you all out of our government. Skerrit you have failed us, and yo must Go, Get out, you are of no use to our Dominica ad its people.
Now, this is failed Skerrit`s ridiculous statement, for whatever it means.
He continued, “Linton is desperate and this desperation means that he and his agents and supporters will do all in their power to legitimize their lies by using foreign agents and organizations and Al Jazeera is now one of them.”
Skerrit, for you again, read: ““Linton is desperate and this desperation means that he and his agents and supporters will do all in their powers to legitimize our stolen government by Skerrit and his failed corrupt labour government”. So Skerrit, 2Go to Hell, Go To Hell, Got to Hell”, you Skerrit and your bobol Labour government must Go, Get Out of our Dominica, you all are failed no bodies.
“Skerrit Go to…
I would imagine that a professional and internationally respected news network like Al Jazeera would do its own independent investigation on an issue before presenting its report. That LIEbour Party leader’s assertion that Al Jazeera is merely repeating what an individual said is absolute hogwash. This man thinks all Dominicans are as feeble minded as those that come to him for handouts in return for their votes. Some of us are actually able to discern the stench of lies that escape his mouth whenever he speaks. Not even industrial strengh LIESterine can mask his hogwash breath.
Skerrit is always in nonsense talk whenever he is caught with dirty outdated Red Pants down.
Skerrit blames Hon. Linton and UWP for Al Jazeera investigation. Linton promises legislation to prevent sale of diplomatic passports. My Domininca people, please read the message above that you are well informed if the corruption and failure of incompetent Skerrit and his failed Labour group. This Labour government has been a mess over the past 19 years. they have absolutely nothing to offer us towards the development of our nature isle Dominica. Outside of the hurricane the worse who has destroyed our island is that failed corrupted Labour government. They have failed us and know nothing of the real matters of our state, as we try hard to raise its profile back where it is suppose to be.
We need failed Skerrit and incompetent Labour out of our government. they have failed big time. Ruin our Isle of beauty. We need change. DLP Out to Hell
We welcome Hon. Linton and his professional UWP…
Rose boy, I watching you in that picture there and you looking tired Garson.
You not looking well at all. I am not wishing bad for you, but a picture tells a thousand words.
Anyway back to the topic at hand.
So Rose… you go on a platform in St. Joe, and blame poor Lennox Linton, and say its Lennox that give Al Jazeera information… When… low and behold…. unbenouce to you… it was Al Jazeera that secretly videotape all of you in all of you commess.
Poor Lennox … he take all that blame for nothing… ehbey… Lennox back broad weii bouy.
Next time wait before you speak… look before you leap… by now you should know its Lennox Linton you dealing with, Mista pa easy nahh!
Now go take a rest, because you not looking like you going to reach the finish line.
Jack sparrow, did you look before you look? Did you wait before you speak?
Did you hear what Al Jazeera say?
Did you see the video where these names(Lennox Linton, O J Saraphine and David) are mentioned and seen?
Boss you ALL are falling in the pit you all dig.
@ Kid on the Block…
My brother, what is wrong with my comment. All I simply said was that Al-Jazeera did their own investigation with video recorded stings… Yet your Prime Minister Blaming Lennox Linton. As you rightfully said, even Lennox’s name and reputation was incriminated in the investigation. So why Blame Lennox… Blame Al-Jazeera, and sue Al-Jazeera and not Lennox.
Any pit that was dug would have to have been dug by the DLP and their corrupt regime.
Please don’t call Hon. Lennox Linton in your nonsense. Just because you guys corrupt, you looking for company. Garson, you looking in the wrong place.
Interesting there was not a denial by the PM. Hmmm 🤔
I have just watched the Al Jazeera report. The particular diplomatic passport holder they focus on is Ali Reza Monfarid. Is there anyone denying that Monfarid holds a Dominican diplomatic passport?
The report is less than 3 minutes long. There is a side mention of an American in Grenada, but the focus of the piece is most certainly Dominica.
Not providing the spoiler details.
Watch and draw your own conclusions.
Actually, what I saw last night was the trailer for the 53+ minute report, which I have watched this morning. Nonetheless, watch the whole thing and draw your own conclusions.
As a Prime minister such action deserves a resounding beating for labour at the polls.
This is the biggest scandal in Dominica…. Pm Selling Diplomatic passports just to win an election…. Dominicans please note that uwp has nothing to do with dat scandall… Shame, shame, shame on Skerritt……
Dominica passports have been sold for years, this has been going on for to long…..
Imagine, Skerritt, just taking his Fanatics for fools.. He has been pumping millions just to win elections…
Constituencies are given over 500, 000 just to win an election… Alll those entertainers millions, while Dominicans broke n poor..
Now dat this bombshell is out there, one can conclude that theier is truth to the billions missing Dollars..
Dominicans, please reflect, for your future n your children future please vote out a skerritt.
One good day, you alll might find you alll selves under some reall nasty deal with Skeeritt.
Shame on Skerritt, shame on passport sellers.. Shame on…
How many more times does Mr. Skerrit have to stain the country’s image before he is either removed from office or jailed. For tiny Dominica to be ‘elevated’ to Aljazeera documentary news, Skerrit has done the country and ifs people irreparable injury. He cannot give the country a direct response as to the source(s) of the corrupt campaign monies. Corruption has the country on bended knees grossly underdeveloped; public servants on starvation salaries and the economy completely deflated . Send Skerrit and his criminal elements packing.
Other leaders of the oecs you hearing one can do .hungry fi power ..dominicanz yoll take note yoll country will b blaclklisted again by one hungry individual
PM ,why are you fretting to take Dominicans before the court. Not Alzeera you have to sue nah,for lieing on you. Look jokes.
It is amazing that the PM, Dr. Skeritt blames everything in Dominica on Mr. Linton. Al Jazeera chose to investigate, it’s Mr. Linton, The Dominican People call for Electoral Reform, It’s Mr. Linton. Dr. Skerrit, is it Mr. Linton who harbored Mr. Alfared in Morne Daniel and made a diplomatic passport available to him which he thought would have saved him from the 20 years jail sentence and the debt of 1.3 billion which he was ordered to repay? Unfortunately, you cannot blame Mr. Linton for the foolishness which Francine vomited at the OAS Meeting, it appeared to have its origin straight from you.
Dr. Skerrit, we see what you are trying to do, develop enough hatred for Mr. Linton so that he could be silenced? You speak about suing, it would be great to see you take on Al Jazeera. It would allow us to learn a lot more about your nefarious activities.
Boy this dilemma reminds me of the story of the blind man that got healed in John 9 and when his disciples saw that they asked Jesus this little question: “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
So PM if what Al jeezera is reporting is true who sinned or who committed the crime? is it the one that sold the passport or the one that exposed the sin or alleged crime to Al jezeera? So PM if I see someone killed another should I not call the police? My mama always told me it is alright to report a crime if I see it. so mama was wrong then?
There is only one central question… Has Skerrit/DLP been selling diplomatic passports that has brought Dominica into international disrepute and damaged the image of the country sufficient to bring all that to the attention of Al Jazeera ???
Simple answer: YES!
Example: Monfared, Moduke, etc. I’m certain there is many more. Skerrit is a liability to this country and to the entire western world! That is the sad truth.
Skerrit you know and know and you know fully well what’s cooking in the pot..
Way de money?
Way de money?
Time will tell….
PM sounding and looking scared. PM did you put cocoa in sun and all of a sudden the whether changed and the place looking cloudy nou?
Prime Mistake go and dig a hole somewhere and hide your disgusting self. Dirty crate…
I have already seen this documentary in Boston (quite some time ago) and it’s disturbing to say the least. DA, can I ask you all a question? Twenty years of the same leadership? Don’t you want to new and fresh ideas? Don’t you want better for yourself and for the future of the country? It is ok to embrace change. It is ok to embark on a new voyage. Sometimes we’re afraid of the unknown, but tradition can be the downfall of our future. I challenge you to look around you, look at yourself in a mirror. Ask yourself, what will your children say they have accomplished in 20 years. What will Dominica offer them? What has Dominica offered you 20 years?
Everything is up fault! Boy mr making me f..ing Angry. The people who support this monster if he wins again Dominica is finished. Remember you and the rest of his supporters ruined Dominica!
If u have nothing to hide you should welcome the investigation and put these allegations to rest.
”Giving” our diplomatic passports to crooks and fraudsters (Monfared, Alison Maduke, Corallo, etc) is not tarnishing Dominica’s image, Skerrit? You are contemptible!
You can sell passports..many countries do it. What I’m concerned about is whether this money, Dominica’s money, is being used for campaign funds because this is illegal. The country’s money cannot be used to benefit one side. It’s not Skerrit’s money. And what do we have to show for all these millions of dollars? Kempinski? People saying this will bring jobs. Resorts only offer low paying jobs. All the students we send to study come home and they have nowhere to work. Small businesses are not making money, the agriculture sector is suffering, and after all these years no international airport. Most of the bridges knocked down by TS Ericka & Hurricane Maria still down; roads are a mess. Yet, there is money for Popcaan to come down to perform in DA. This is a real joke .
He uses the countries money for all sort of things but not for the benefit of the country and it’s citizens. The man is nothing but a common criminal. If he was innocent he long ago would have accounted for our missing money and other things. But he can’t and still has the front to stand in front of the people week in and week out and make them believe how good he is…!
Weh papa. All you well dat Linton fella have power and contacts boy. And all the time, Skerrit was lying and telling us that Linton haven’t got no outside friends and contacts ….. yadda yadda yadda.
So Linton have commanding influence over CBS and now Al Jazeera eh.
Who next? BBC Panorama’s Investigative unit?
Aye Lennox, more and more I’m realizing why Skerrit dem are absolutely terrified of you.
The gig is up Skerrit- You have run Dominica like it is a company town. You are going down now…
Well if DR DR Skerrit right then Linton have a power papa. I need mister to be the PM if he have powers so. I am so ashamed right now especially of OJ. Hmmm Dominica is crying out. These Caribbean leaders are making us feel so bad. For what? Fix the country instead of all you pockets. Wicked black men!!
DNO if Marn have access to them clips allyou have dem too wi why allyou doh put dem tings dere for people to see for demselves!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP3x5KGa4rk
Marn stay of that bad tobacco. It plays havoc with your mind! OMG
So the fella sitting in the hotel with the man is Linton fault talking about your master plan is Linton fault.
Monfarat being a Dominican Diplomat and being giving 20 years for embezzlement is also Linton fault?
The oil minister from Kenya with a Dominican passport that stole millions from Kenya ( Not 100% sure if she was a diplomat) Is also Linton fault.
Secondly, how is it an allegation Made up by MasIntheCemetary when they said we sell Diplomatic Passports, comes to find out…Monfarat IS a diplomat?
Somebody in the red camp explain that for me please.
“I noticed, as you will notice, when the story is broadcast, that the allegations are the very same ones that Linton, the UWP and Mas In De Cemetery have been making up and repeating for several years.”
Does PM Skerrit understand that his statement has exposed his National Security Minister and Daniel Carbon? PM to tell the world that is long time Linton and UWP making allegation without stating that the local police conducted a thorough investigation and found it to be false? PM indirectly you have exposed and the dumped your police under the bus because if our local police had done their job and investigate that matter as soon as Linton, MITC and uwp started talking about that there would have been no need for Al Jazeera to expose us. We have been exposed and now I am jumping off that ship!
SKERRIT has said over and over again for years,Dominica does NOT SELL DIPLOMATIC PASSPORTS.They will issue a DIPLOMATIC PASSPORT to a person who is in a position to help DOMINICA.The CBI is a CITIZEN BY INVESTMENT PROGRAMME,not a passport programme .These UWP IDIOTS just LAZY ,STUPID and LYING.We voting LABOUR 18-3 and ALJAZEERA and UWP can go to HELL.
Yes, but not because Skerrit tells you the Sky is red, means you can’t tilt your head up and see for yourself.
Yes, the desperados are on the move and will stop at nothing to get into power. What is the motive Al Jazeera? It’s interesting to note that after the PM calls elections, that’s when you’re coming out with your “story”. But guess what, this will not MOVE nor SHAKE us!!!! Laborites will be victorious at the Dec 6 general elections.
Who doh have Cocoa outside not gonna look for rain..Skerrit can go kick rocks!!..
What a damn Coward!!..Lennox must be the biggest obeah man you ever met..Every time Skerrit put the country image in disrepute, he defaults to blaming the usual suspect. smdh!!..
The same tricks Hitler used to employ
Love this. Was thinking the same thing earlier. Why indeed wouldn’t we want someone who has the power to get an international news network to do an investigative report on an illegal activity to be our Prime Minister?
Go Lennox!
Alas!!
Alas!
Alas!Look at beSkerrit’s face. So those crooks surrounding him, cannot see the man needs medical attention?
That’s how all you love all you PM there!
“Lay Ban May Chans Tay””
Skerrit
Whey is di money?
Whey is di money?
Whey is di money?
Pure and unadulterated hogwash, that patriot Linton is behind that!!
Come out and tell us if what we have seen and heard is false.
I saw your friend Monfarred! Remember he is serving 20 years behind bars.. I heard the name “My Dominica Trade House”, and a million other things!
Oh My God Skerrit go on your knees and plead to God for forgiveness for the damage you have done to Dominica..How can you escape this brother?Are those surrounding you love you,? There are those amongst you “Soo Tee Way ing”” you, but very soon they may not even visit you!!!
That’s what you did with the people’s trust Skerrit?
Karma is a bit.., look out for karma, and keep patriot Linton away from the cesspool of commess you are enmeshed in!!!
Skerrit
Whey is di money?
Whey is di money?
Whey is di money?
Thank you Linton, your convenient amnesia is appalling,, what did the UWP had to do with the sale of passports? To you, Is it because Dominica Economic Revolution has surprise and surpass your expectations. Dominicans surly knows that you are continually lying about the affairs, therefore you are jumpstarting another argument. I want to know how you are going to lead the nation into the 21st century with nothing to offer. Besides blowing 🥵 hot air what have you, Lenox Linton done towards the growth of your nation? Where did this Con 👨🎤 Artist resurrect from! You are the opposition who holds a daily press conference just spewing a bunch of horse 🐎 down daily.
Economic revolution????? Where???? I haven’t seen it! You must be the only one hallucinating day in and day out after having taken a good dose of red magic. You know, I’m ashamed for people like you. I do pity you!
Skerrit
You are to crooked. What is hidden will eventually come to light. You have been governing (no ruling) Dominica as if you are an emperor. Your days are numbers.
Please explain to me how Lennox Linton can be so powerful that he can influence and control an international news agency?
Also, dear PM, instead of devaluing AL Jazeera by comparing their claims to Linton’s, you just gave him even more credibility. And alas see labourites just eating up what the man says… That’s sad.
Skerritt, some of the main culprits in this reporting like Monfared, are known to all conscious Dominicans and now some more light is being shed on the corruption. How can you just shout it’s Lennox Linton and not provide and substance to refute the things we already know are true. Monfared was in Dominica, he was a Dominican diplomat, he is now in jail, so where did Linton lie? Tell us, bro. Threats to sue will not make the truth go away. Dominica no longer gas a good name thanks to you and your cabal
Opposition leader you are so V.I.N.D.I.C.T.I.V.E!!!
It’s not funny. You will cut necks. You will interrupt progress. You will debase and destroy your country just to take out one man and to assume leadership and you will use the ignorant people of Dominica. The innocent among us to achieve that goal of being on the podium as leader. But i pray today that Dominican come to their sense and reconsider you. You linton as leader of anything. God look over us….Dominicans go to the poll and vote labour. I don’t care if you hate your parl rep, you didn’t get what you want this term….don’t stay home go vote labour because we have an army of desparados. Desparation is a beast. Dominicans let’s do the right thing. One love and peace.
If you don’t like your parl rep still go n vote for him or her?
U doe like Linton why don’t you go vote for him!!
Last 3 election I vote Labour, this time around I’m not voting anyone.
This news article hurts me so damn much. I am so proud to be Dominican to see this madness going on. Stop this man now!
Stop his supporters as well. Educate these foolish people. Enough is enough!
Dominicans watch that and have mister in power still. A man asking for 50k for himself another want 20000 .. that doesnt make you upset then I wash my hands on Dominica. Zoh fini
My God Royal, said all the right things please do not give us that ugly wicked monster for Christmas get rid of that nasty opposition crap and lies off his piranhas.
Royal, we do not need Hon. Linton to do this, why? . Because your failed incompetent Skerrit has done a good job in and to say that: “It’s not funny. You will cut necks. You, failed Skerrit has interrupt progress. Skerrit is the worse thing that has ever happened to our Nature Isle Domininca. He and his failed bind corru0t Labour Governemnt has failed us and have no knowledge nor interest in the development of our Dominica. Some or most people inside that corrupt failed Labour government has killed our Dominica, killed our Banana export killed our agricultural produce and o=now is selling our passports to crooks misfits, urge teeth people all over and we know not how our money is received and invested and spent.
We await the incoming of hon Lennox Linton ad his highly Professional Team who will undergo this audit of Skerrit`s failure and labour government obvious corruption. Our states funds is there to be misuse, abused and corrupted. That is why Skerrit & Labour must Go. Get Out.
@ Royal.
I will not sit idly by and hear you label Dominicans as “ignorant people”. If you are Ignorant, speak for yourself, but don’t label all of us as ignorant.
We jolly well know that our next Primeminister is NOT V.I.N.D.I.C.T.I.V.E .
He is an honest, honurable man whose name you will not find in commess.
So save your ignorance for yourself, not everybody like you.
You are the one defending Skerrit no matter what he does and you call people who are not blind to the truth ignorant? I believe I have just entered the Twilight Zone.
Mr So called Royal; It’s not funny. You will cut necks. You will interrupt progress. You will debase and destroy your country just to take out one man and to assume leadership and you will use the ignorant people of Dominica.
Royal, all the above have already happened in Dominica by Skerrit failed incompetent corrupted government headed by this failed immature Skerrit . You seem to be so blind and politically illiterate to admit to the destruction of our Dominica and our government under this failed immature Skerrit. This man Skerrit should have never been Prime Minister. Skerrit will exit this government a failed political clown and he must never come back. Idiotic behaviour over 19 years. Its all about fame and not about our struggling Dominica. We need change in Dominica but first we must Kick out this failed corrupted immature Labour government. Skerrit, go away, go back to the states, yo are and have been no use to our Dominica. Skerrit must Go.
Well Skerrit, if Lennox has the power to sell a story to Aljazeera and they take it and run without any fact checking, then Lennox has powers. Can you imagine what he could do if he were PM, ehbeh Dominica would be a super power in the world wi. That is power!
So you think! Do you know that everything will be pulled out and LL have toprove himself before anyone takes him seriously. That may take many years and may nevermaterialise at the reckless and desperate ways your leader is approaching things. Look at how your so called leader is tarnishing the name of Dominica just because they hate, jealous, envy a young Dominican who has done so much for Dominica. He has even touched the International Countries. Is this what u want for Dominica? Do you love Dominica? Do you love violence & misleading people who cannot think for themselves; riding on their backs to get power. Want to just walk on a golden platter? Hard work is what pays. Go do some hard work, stop demonstrating, opposing for oppose sake, making videos, false news, desperate to say bad things about your country; harrassing persons in Washington. Why are those people so desparate. Why do hate so? Why? Like rumours etc about yr country? Patri -sort u all are.
Poor pity either you are totally mad or you owe your PM a lot of money.
I do not know the facts of the matter as relates the actual sales until I see the Al Jazeera Report.
However, I totally agree with your comments. Some other premise should have been put forward by the PM, but to suggest that Lennox Linton has such power as to influence Al Jazeera in that way is quite laughable and, quite frankly I would not buy that.
Whoever is advising the PM probably should have told him to either keep quiet, or deny it vehemently. but to put out such a ridiculous argument is to literally expose himself. He seem to have indicated to the world that he is unsettled and rattled by this so the best technique ( an often tried psychological technique) is to flip the negative attention back to those who are confronting you.
It is sad that it has come to that. I pray for all concerned but I also pray that the truth will come out. Whoever is innocent will be innocent and whoever is guilty OUGHT TO/MUST face the truth and whatever justice that goes with it.
I finally saw a clipping and actual images of the snippet purportedly put out by Al Jazeera with individuals that I seem to recognize, as well as the audio of Al Jazeera report.
Assuming the authenticity, and there seem no premise why it is not, then this is very Damning. This is just not good for our country’s image and surely, all those involved should own up and leave office for the common good of the country.
If it is being asserted by those involved that it is not true, they should sue Al Jazeera. In that way all the facts will be exposed and we can know who is speaking the truth and who is lying.
Amen, so true. Dominica, well said and that Hon Linton and his UWP Team are decent people, highly professional who will stabilise our Dominica and get rid of this obvious corruption and deceitfulness in Skerrit’s failed Bobolistic labour Government. Skerrit has failed us, and appears also of the abuse of our states funds that we call for an immediate enquiry, clinical at this, that our states money is accounted for. Every set must be accounted and we need to kick this failed, immature, worthless, incompetent failed Skerrit out of our government.
We`re fed up with Skerrit. A loser, ignorant to Socio-economic development, has demonstrated over 19 years that he is unable to manage or be head, leader of any island, or country. Skerrit is stained, immature, politically childlike. We have had enough of this nonsense and abusive way our hard earned tax money has been abuse through the so called Red Bobol clinic operated single headedly with no account of our states funds. Skerrit Go. Out!
Hon. Pm elaborate for the ignorant people of Dominica the damage this pose on Dominica. Don’t just say tarnish. Tell the ignorant Dominicans that antigua is in the sale of passports. St kitts is in the sale of passports. Passport money brings us yes we care, the national employment program, the citizen by investment program, and in recent years has helped to make money available as loans to start to new businesses. You want a successful and progressive Dominica. I want a successful and progressive Dominica.
By injuring and scaring a country’s innocent name here’s what is going to happen:
Lack of investments
Lack of visitors coming to the country
Decrease in cash flow
Increase in migration
Increase in unemployment
Inflation
Pm election is here. Educate the ignorant. Elaboraaaaaate to them pleeease. One love and peace to all.
@Royal- How much do you get paid? It seems like not only your daily bread but your life line is about to be cut Royal.
Well the cycle of life after one time is another—
Tell Skerrit it is not Linton it is his Iranian partner- The only that is doing 20 years in jail and was living on Morne Daniel…
Also tell him if the rain falls in Dominica blame it on Linton. Royal the Gig may be up……
@Royal.. All these things you eloquently list is happening already under Skerrit for the last 10years..
Lack of investments
Lack of visitors coming to the country
Decrease in cash flow
Increase in migration
Increase in unemployment
Inflation
And you are asking us to keep Skerritt in Power!!!. These things need to be reverse and PM Skerrit who is responsible for causing these injuries need to be removed so we can rebound from these heavily downward trends.
@royal:
Lack of investments
Lack of visitors coming to the country
Decrease in cash flow
Increase in migration
Increase in unemployment
Inflation
Thats what we have for the past 20 years. If the PM was doing a good job would he have to spend billions in a campaign? Or charter planes and ferries even create a new police lookout for elections? He would just sit back and let his work speak. Failure Loosevelt Scare-IT.
Look Al Jazeera has the man crazy now he calling teachers at 4.00pm. That didnt work he organize motorcade lol pathetic!
Royal Whatever you are? Well, I endorse you in the company of the political pit, where its not our Dominica that you care for or talk about to be elevated higher after your failed blind Skerrit has killed all our produce, reduced our people to beggars and shout out “we love our “Damn”PM”, the worse thing that ever happen to our Dominica since Independence, whereas our nature isle has been abused, pushed about, lied to about development progress and now we have our poor people that Skerrit created as beggars walking you to the Financial Centre for money. haw, shameful, ignorant, abusive, childish and to now have Skerrit as this stained failed incompetent, childish Skerrit who is unable to undertake the meaningful and intellectual position to head this nature isle of ours.
Skerrit is damn failure and with his blind loyalists shouting ignoramous and a 2faied Skerrit”, and should out blindly, 2We love our PM”.
If you believe that by being a fear monger and spreading insecurity among Dominicans that that will get people to vote for you… well you have something coming.
My brother, people fed up with all of you. They just want to see the back of all you.
So find another way to get your voters out to vote.
* Under the stewardship of Lennox Linton, integrity will be restored.
* Employment will be created.
* Respect for the less fortunate will flourish.
* No more will our young women have to perform sexual favours for government assistance.
* Dominicans will benefit from local projects.
* Our masons, carpenter, contractors, truckers, will finally be employed, instead of giving these projects to foreigners.
* We will finally have an International Airport
* Three Rivers Aerial Tram will be constructed
* Small business will receive support from Government no matter what party you support.
* Pride and self-worth will be restored to all Dominicans.
So stop your fear-mongering.
Scaremongering is not going to hide the facts of gross wrongdoing.
Right now I am not interested in who helped Al Jazeera in the investigation . What we want pm Skerrit to tell us now is whether he did it or not. If he did not do it then his first battle is to deal with Al Jazeera. But I just findcPM got scared too early.
@True or false…. I see a scared outgoing pm
True or false don’t u se a scam by those who think they know it all. This thing starts in Washington by a so smart brother of another so smart Doctor. Don’t you see how these people are so deparate for power that they know the lower class of persons indulge in gossip & sensation. Her you true or false! Of course you know passport are sold. This is not a secret. Most countries do this & this started since under the Freedom party Government. You see who demonstrating – poor young people’s children whom the opposition trying to make them think that is someone who has dem so. But is usage time for them to get into power. Who say they will worry about you after that. At least True or false, you know for a fact that some persons benefitted in housing, School fees is free for College Student, Hospital fees no m ore for under 16 & over 60. School buses are free for children to go to school& I can go on & on but time is of the essence. Start thinking for yourself. Go see for…
You forgot to mention: CBI money is missing, PetroCaribe money is missing, Ross got kicked of the island…
Isn’t your double doctor great. Yeah, hurray and school buses are free. And if Nassief and Raphael want to built a new hotel the double Dr. give them the money but Dominica doesn’t own a single share!
Yeah boy, your PM is the best thing since Robert Mugabe!!
All other country does ot so is not dominica alone linton hurting
Your name is so fitting…!
True or False, Skerrit has no where to hide and in time, we the Dominican people will have that immature failed Skerrit before the Courts and soon after behind the prison locked doors. We do not care of how Skerrit feels, and Skerrit after 19 years has not taken on board the suffering of our people where he killed the banana and agriculture reduce we sold big overseas. Skerrit and his clown have killed that agricultural sector and this failed, incompetent immature Skerrit is now selling our passports money to weird “ole teeth” unhappy weird people. Skerrit needs to go before our Courts and legal system to address the abuse of our states fuds and resources and also where he has killed ur bananas and other agricultural produce. What a comedian politician who has never elevated to the state of socio-economic development but to buy those who are poor to be loyal to him.
Dominicans, we desperately need Skerrit out of our Dominica and the obvious corruption by these so called “Buyers”.
