Public officers who may be victimised for standing up against corruption were given the assurance that a United Workers Party administration will reinstate them.
That promise was made by the Leader of the Opposition Lennox Linton.
Linton gave that assurance when he appeared on a local radio program recently.
In fact he also said that these public officers will see no change in their salaries.
“All public officers in this country who for one reason or another may be victimized by this administration because they are standing for what is right or because they are pointing to something in the government that is wrong…and lose their job for that they will be immediately reinstated when the government changes with absolutely no loss of compensation,” Linton stated.
He is also promising them protection from victimization but compensation as well.
“These individuals will also receive payment from the state of no less than $10,000.”, the opposition leader added.
He believes residents should be able to voice their opinion without fear of victimization.
“We have to stop victimizing people for standing up for the rights in Dominica” he said.
Meanwhile, Linton is rejecting claims that the turnout was low at his party’s peaceful gathering which formed part of the alleged missing $1.2 billion held on Monday.
He said according to investigations, the fear of being victimized prevented many supporters from attending.
“It is a fear of victimization, a fear of being punished for standing up or for being seen, supporting a particular movement,”he said.
Lennox you are brilliant! Brilliant!
DLP, you are finished now!
Mr. Skerrit, wait for the public servants to turn on you! One by one by one.
We concur fully with this statement. Well done Hon. Linton and your trusted, high professional Team UWP. We need change in Dominica from this incompetent failed, immature Skerrit and his highly Questionable devious, failed Labour so called political Party. Skerrit and corrupt Labour government has failed the people of Dominica, reduced our people to beggars and reduced the economy of our once busy, bustling agricultural economy to one of begging and deceitful handouts from Skerrit`s corrupted Labour government. Shame on you Skerrit and the ugly devious face of your corrupted Labour government. We have enough of this devious behaviour and we will make way for incoming Hon. Lennox Linton and his highly trusted Team UWP. Dominica need change after 19years of bobol, failed DLP leadership and this corrupted Labour government. That is the Red corrupted insulted Bobols: The Bin Bobol, Red Clinic Bobol, & Fertilizer Bobol. We honestly had enough of Failed Skerrit & corrupt Labour Government.
lennox, tell us who is Terry Baron? You don,t know this person never heard of him what’s with the photos.
Lennox took a photo with me too. What’s your point? Does he know me? Are we friends?
@mine; Terry Baron is the same man selling citizenship/passports for your one-man corrupt rogue regime prime mistake!!!
@mine; Terry baron is the one selling citizenship/passports for your one-man corrupt rogue regime prime mistake!!!
A young man walked up to me on Old Street and asked me “What is 3,961 multiply by 50,000″I said 1.2 billion.He asked “where u from” I said MARIGOT” He said “”NO WONDER U ARE A JACK A”.Linton is giving the people of Marigot a BAD NAME.
No Lin. You are doing a great job at being a jack A all by yourself. You don’t need any assistance.
This woman is a real Lin clown (laughing a herself) and just may have some level of ignoramous to the political nature going on in our Dominica due to this failed, corrupted incompetent Labour government, who has failed the people of Dominica now over 19 years. They have overstayed their welcome and Dominica and it`s people now need some space to move and pick up and clean up where failed Skerrit and this obvious rougue Labour government has left us in the corrupted labour pit.
Dominica needs to move on. We must take care & monitor our young people who are coming up and one day will hold on the reigns of Dominica`s political and social development in government, a very decent, mature, transparent government. The bigger picture, Hon. Linton and his professional Team are dong a great job in campaigning on our behalf that we have decent government, rapid social development plans to elevate our people, create jobs and build up our tourism and other markets. That fail Skerrit has killed.
If you are courageous enough to stand up by your rights in your own country and Skerrit fires you for it, the new government will give you your job back plus compensation that will be no less than $10,000. FEAR NO MORE.
Lying ,%,% lying just like LINTON.Where in Roseau did you see people on their BALCONY and in their WINDOW supporting UWP? What street?There are no BALCONIES and WINDOWS on the route you took.And this place is not a residential area.LYING WICKED UWP.We were waiting in the CROWD,to see if you CRIMINALS would DESTROY somebody’s property.
Why would DLP move Roseau parl rep to Goodwill? I will tell you why. Roseau will not vote for him. Roseau is blue. We are staying blue. The lady can keep bringing the packages, we will take it. Soon, we will make her clean up the drains.
This woman named “Lin Clown” really fits her and links with this obvious visible failed Clown labour Government who has failed us Dominicans for over 19 years, with a this failed immature, incompetent Odd Minister Skerrit, well known for reducing our poor people to beggars through the Corrupted Red Clinic, Corrupted Bin Bobol, Corrupted Fertlizer Bobol. Shame on Skerrit to have reduced our poor people to this begging, desperate situation. This man Skerrit knows absolutely nothing of Socio-economic development. We are in government and he could be best advised but he just does not have that decorum, foresight and intellectualism to consult with governments professional Team and stop wasting useless time hanging about with nonsense party alliances who are also idiotic of our development. You all waste time going at Respected Hon. Linton Incoming Prime Minister. Hon Linton is a highly respected man from a highly resected family & friends.
Skerrit must Go. We need decent government…
What are the Deception Lies and Propaganda (DLP) “mouton batallie” supporters scared about; you guys have grown so accustomed to hiding your dirty linen that you don’t want it exposed. Honesty, Integrity and Transparency are no longer the norms of good governance under the watch of this present Administration and even their recalcitrant; intellectually; dishonest supporters are not even ashamed to air their views publicly , papa met “is so we come nah”.
Lemme break this down so that the Labourites can understand. What Lennox is talking about is “Whistleblower protection”. Google it. All real countries have something like this.
What whistle blower protection? Before anything happen in government it all on the road. Could someone post a list of individuals who were fired by this government because of there politics. We trying to copy America with this whistle blower nonsense, when in America it is highly politicised. UWP have accused the Prime Minister of heisting 1.2 billion dollars, now they are offering a bribe to public officers to give them the evidence to support the opinion of Lennox Linton.
The public service is full of potential whistleblowers. I didn’t think of it until now, thank you Anon.
Dear Public Servants:
If you have any factual information on the location of our 1.2 Billion dollars, which was unlawfully placed in a “special account”, speak up now. Now is the time to reveal what you know! Your country needs you, now.
Even if Skerrit fires you, you will get your job back, plus compensation. You heard Mr. Linton, he means what he says. So do not fear.
Anon, you are bang on when you asked, “Could someone post a list of individuals who were fired by this government because of there politics. “
You are the one copying America, because before you read the case about it recently in reference to Trump you did not know such term existed.
There are no such law’s in Dominica, such words are not even in our native vocabulary!
Thanksgiving which Roosevelt and Melisa made you all celebrate last year, is not even a British Colonial left over; we never celebrated the American thanksgiving not even on the islands of Trinidad, Antigua where there were American Base.
Roosevelt/ Melisa children are Americans they eat all the turkey!
The American Military Base supported by Pan American pulled out of Antigua in the 1970’s they left Trinidad in the 1950’s.
Nevertheless, while the Americans maintained their traditions in Antigua and Trinidad, the locals did not participate, there was no legal holiday designated for that by native government.
What I remember was the Methodist Church out of England introduced Harvest, where farmers would take their produce to the church…
Did you see MAHAUT last night,Thursday 03/10/19? UWP GOING DOWN SLOWLY.To many LIES coming from UWP
I would encourage caution and advise Mr Lennox Linton to stay away from these outlandish offers. He should stand on the crest of the blue wave, not get drunken by it. In the past ministers have left the country coffers depleted when they demit office, surely you are producing unnecessary difficulties when you make these outlandish promises.
I can appreciate your support for those who have been victimized but temper your concern and love for humanity with only those promises that youa re able to keep. I would rather you saying, or it would be more responsible to say that your government would investigate all cases of victimization with a view to offering compensation where the investigation proves victimization had taken place. To offer a fixed sum of 10,000 is irresponsible and beggars belief when it comes from one aiming for the seat of authority position in the land. Where are your advisers? or are you just shooting from the hip?
@ RasB
Sit down. Dominica has money. Plenty money. 1.2 Billion dollars! We want it.
We need decent government in Dominica. The person and Team ably responsible to address this feat is well known committed and trusted Hon. Lennox Linton. He has an exceptional track record of being engaged in many matters. His UWP Team is also engaged with committed and trusted professionals and activists of good governance to support and assist UWP incoming Prime Minister to undertake the challenge of leading Dominica. We all know that Skerrit and corrupt Labour government has failed us over 19 years and Skerrit as we all know has been this little, immature boy, rushed into leadership of not only a political party that has no exposure nor experience has failed us Dominicans big time. Skerrit must go and not seen as Prime Minister anymore. Skerrit was really known and referred to as this Odd Minister. That we have seen in him. This failed incompetent boyish person. Skerrit had no one of decency within the DLP to guide him accordingly. His administration disowned him due to his failure.
Untied workers party regime in peril
Not from where I’m looking. We’re winning, in fact, we have already won!
Kalinago, I feel your pain and read your message in detail. I am with you that the Labour government must Go and we need new blood and decent people, named Linton and his UWP Team in government.
When Hon., Linton and his UWP Team gets into government, they will not just, willingly get rid of current civil servants. Paid advisors (mainly in name) contracted, yes, will be gone because it is not a states system position, it is personal within the sitting Prime Minister, or minister. However, Hon Linton knows better and definitely will not disrupt and willingly kick out anyone who are established civil servant established workers. It does not work that way.
We are just waiting patiently, and rightfully so too, to see this failed Skerrit and his failed corrupted Labour government get out of our states business. They must Go. We welcome Hon Linton and his Trusted highly professional UWP Team, who will work with all Dominicans including the incoming Leader, and members of his opposition.
Zort mee JourJour Dominique! Desperation! Saying anything to get support! Where are the facts? Where is the money to pay $10,000? Where is the $1.4 Billion? In the 1.4 Billion scenario, I see one supporter got $24,000.00 (not enough). I know many other supporters (UWP’s) who got monies because is their money and not Skerrit own. I am sure if LL can let his supporters come and say how much of thier money they got (mind u is theirs and not Skerrit own – How they arrive at that? I am at a loss!). If he lists this down, I am sure it is going to add up to 1.4 billion (to his supporters alone. Well also I see a lot of roof covered, houses built, apartments, lots of work done all over the country. I travel alot wee! And if I add up those figures, I sure I coming up with Trillions of dollars wee. This is not my opinion noh but realistic figures of work done. Hahaha to you guys mi jourjour . Get serious guy and think before u talk and your advisors & supporters get real!
Can persons who are neither blue or red or green call for civil disobedience demanding that
Lennox Linton explain to the country how he came about with the $1.2 billion
How he came about with the $10,000.00 per person compensation for victimized person in public sector
We not going demand for where the money because there is already a call for that by the UWP
But to get facts and figure straight is one party is demonstrating on where is the money gone there should be balance so were going to demand for “How did you get that $1.2 billion
Th is false promises and this man is not thinking before he speaks. lennox there is a proverb( look before you leap). You are going to fail this country with your reinstate and reimburse.
Mine, I was hoping that you will also “look before you leap…”that you are aware of what you are saying. Please , it has to be context.
Hon Linton will be Prime Minister of Dominica. We are prepared for this change, and this trusted dedicated Dominican, who comes in with a wealth of knowledege in government and finance Matters. Skerrit will be gone because he has failed us and our Dominica. We know that Skerrit has abused our states money and too much Bobol that we are all aware of us. This is Skerrit`s fear that Hon Linton will ensure that there will be and Audit/Commission of Enquiry that our abusive states funds will be accounted for, especially that Fertilizer Bobol that was ordered from Pennsylvania where a family member of this failed Labour government engaed in the purchasing of the Fertilizer etc. We need change in our government and we need decency in government. That`s why Skerrit must Go and we have dedicated trusted people Like Hon Linton and Team UWP manage our affairs
viewsexpress, you said Lennox for PM, that”s when male papaya tree bears papaya or when cock grows teeth that is what you will never see happens.
Mine (what a weird name…lol…lol…lol..) and , well I need you to read this, it really represents you and your lack of decorum, seriousness in politics and you are way out of context and analysis of the s.ituation in our nature island.
This is who you are sit.: Read carefully, Ok….? You will feel the pain and nice company.: Here goes:
This is who “Mine” is: read my people because he is reading too. Here goes: “That’s when male papaya tree bears papaya or when cock grows teeth that is what you will never see happens”.
So Mine, if you wish to be this intellectual with someone to say to harness us and to the benefit of our failed, poor country, please make sure you are well read, possess the ability to analyse what yo read before you speak nd write nonsense that appears personal. Our nature island is in deep decline and from where I sit at The Financial Centre, we all know that Skerrit is a big joker, has been a failure. Skerrit has killed our agricultural industry. He…
His first promise to fulfill when he convenes Congress, when he gets into power, phantom power, is to dig into the CBI purse and steal money to pay disobedient civil servants $10,000.00 each and to settle with Pinard the money he owes him. That is Accountability and Transparency. Now, the corruption begins. Out of the fire – Skerrit, and into the frying pan, – Lennox. Let us see who gets completely burnt. Next, he will give his lawyer boys some of that CBI money to fix up their sorry, pitiful law practice that look like empty nest.
My God, what disgusting comments. What on earth is this so called ds saying or advising. What steal money are you referring to? Is this a practice that you are frequently engaged in, or you are going to miss Skerrit and his failed leadership and management? Well, you know, Skerrit must Go. He needs to get out. He has failed us. Domininca needs an upliftment and it is not Skerrit, who has reduced our Dominica to that bottomless pit.
Skerrit has failed us big time and he must go along with his failed incompetent 19 so called ministers. We welcome Hon Lennox Linton and highly professional UWP Team. Trusted, Professional, dedicated, Puts people first and a well mature, highly professional, disciplined Hon. Lennox Linton. It is time for Change. Skerrit, get out, Go away. My people of Dominica wake up. I am telling you that wat I see and hear going upstairs, well our Dominica is finished under this failed Skerrit, the architect of the Bobols in Dominica. Wake up my People. Change is here!
I always laugh at the nonsense you write. You said quote “I am telling you that what I see and hear going upstairs,” well now is you chance to tell the Dominican people what you see and hear going upstairs without being victimized, what are you waiting for to make such disclosure. The truth should not be speculative neither should it be theory.
So what about the money he raised on his overseas campaign. How much and what did he do with it. Did he report it to the uwp.
Or is it like DAAS money that ended up in the Sudan. Or the DAAS land at LaPlaine or the money for the farmers from the wanabe hucksters. Tell me more, tell me more, tell me more. Talk to me.
Tell me about the Egyptian dancer who was going to make essential oils at Laplaine maybe he went to the Sudan also.
“These individuals will also receive payment from the state of no less than $10,000.”, the opposition leader added”. News article
Mr. Linton Sir, do you know that every time you open your mouth to speak, you make matters worse for you, and UWPites?
It is one uncertain thing to promise to re-instate public workers, who lost their job for the reason you claim; and it is the worse thing to announce that you will give them $10, 000 a head.
Why on earth, do you think that people will jump up and applause you for saying those things? And with that said, you are finding excuses for your low turn for whatever you initiated, such as: “It is a fear of victimization, a fear of being punished for standing up or for being seen, supporting a particular movement,” he said. Fear of what and of whom?
Sir your mind state needs a complete cleaning to dispel all of that negative darkness and futility that you are holding there–most definitely!
“Mr. Linton Sir, do you know that every time you open your mouth to speak, you make matters worse for you, and UWPites?
“Shut up you red devil woman; don’t worry about Lennox, what is in his destiny you and Roosevelt the devil himself cannot prevent the inevitable!
You of all persons who like to talk about God should know that he allows the wickedness in high place for a period of time; nevertheless, as he said all these wall will crumble and fall upon each other!
I read where you mentioned Nebuchadnezzar many times after you read where I spoke about the handwriting he saw on the wall before God made him walked out of his Palace to live in the fields and eat grass as an animal.
Roosevelt might become the modern day Nebuchadnezzar!
As much nasty politics you play, upholding thievery and corruption in Dominica by a certain politician, no wonder nobody attends your church in North York!
No wonder your church consist you and two members!
Liz, that is how people behave when they are in a negative state of mind. That is psychological denial. He is like a drug addict who refuse to go to rehab because he has convinced himself that he is not sick.
He reinforced the fact that he is not fit for political leadership. His behavioral profile brings to mind the concept of “who’s bad, am bad. I don’t care what people say or think, I will say what the hell I want”.
Joseph, this what I am talking about, thank you for complimenting mine.
@Elizabeth you are more sick than Linton. You spend all this time attacking one man. You are very bias and its clear in all you post
Liz, so Linton is very sick. Good to know. Here we have a guy who names himself as DAAS-wrong. Is he a M.D or a Phd, he sure knows about sick people.
Now he is attacking you about your religion. Those big brave bad boys just like to harass ladies just for fun. Bullies?
I was going to let this rest; nevertheless, I know of circumstance where civil servants in the Caribbean on the island, of Antigua and elsewhere were politically victimized, and fired.
They sort their rights, which lingered within the Public Service Commission, ended up in court remain for years, however; in the end the government was held accountable and had to compensate the fired public servants, in most cases without any deductions from their regular pay.
I know of situations like that in Trinidad also.
In recent years a manager was fired from DBS, she took the matter to court and won; Roosevelt Skerrit that corrupted crook had to pay her!
Before you say I lie, ask your friend Roosevelt since you and him are such bongo friends nuh!
Do you believe ten ( $10,000.00 ) dollars is a lot of money Elizabeth?
If so; how do you feel about the missing one ($1.2 billion) billion two hundred million dollars Roosevelt Skerrit has refused to account for?
Madam Elizabeth Lina Xavier,
Do you know that every time you open your big corrupted, failed Labour beff mouth to speak, you make matters worse for you, and failed highly failed immature Skerrit,, your corruoted failed Labour Government after 19 years in government, led by this failed immature little Boy Skerrit who has destroyed our agriculture and economy? Why did he.. Well, it is simple, because your failed Skerrit is highly incompetent, why? Because under his failed tenure he ran and travel over the world and came back empty handed. Skerrit abandoned our farers, fishermen and has killed our agricultural procures, so our farmers no longer produce and sell our bananas to the UK and other produce to the USVI. So madam failed, bind, political idiotic Elizabeth, do your homework before you open your mouth. Labour has failed us. Skerrit is not this intellectual, nor well read that can be compared with Hon. Linton. What we hear is only mepuis talk and outlandish tone directed at UWP.
This man is a real joke. As a Finance student, I need to get educated by Mr. Linton. Maybe his accounting and finance principles will help me understand his cry for civil disobedience. And party followers keep shouting where the money but none not shouting Linton show me how you arrive at that figure.
As a student that carries out research investigate and analysize before conclusion its my duty as a citizen to demand from Mr. Linton to show me evidence that 1.2 billion is missing.
Has Mr. Linton even set up his usual press conference or went on his usual talk show and try to demonstrate how he arrived at $1.2 billions.
Now he is promising to compensate the victims of the DLP $10,000. upon becoming the next government
Mr. Linton how did you arrive at that compensation amount?
What is the source of fund for the compensation package and what is the total sum you are expected to pay out
An when did you carry out the research to find out who are victims and
What does being a finical student have to do with term civil disobedience?
You do not know the meaning of the word, therefore I suggest in order to be in the accounting, and financial business you must first take some classes in upper English; at an academic level.
If you cannot read and understand what you read; most formulas you need to understand to be an account will evade you!
The less we know it is the more we expose our stupidity!
Although I can give you different definitions equal the the following: here is a gift to help develop your knowledge of the English language!
This is for free to you:
“Civil disobedience is the active, professed refusal of a citizen to obey certain laws, demands, orders or commands of a government. By some definitions, civil disobedience has to be nonviolent to be called ‘civil’.
Hence, civil disobedience is sometimes equated with peaceful protests or nonviolent resistance.”
Telemauque, you are always going off the content of the message, rebuking what other people write about it, just to exalt yourself.
What is all that you have to say against someone you do not know–pertaining to what the person write?
Man, you cannot be right all the time, but in fact, you are wrong all the time; if you have not found the exaltation which you are searching for, you will never find it; so give up!
Elizabeth, read the article again, comprehend well and move on.
nauseating. Try not to compete with Telemaque please. It is not a matter of right or wrong, (you go too low in your thoughts), it is a matter of debate and learning and comprehending. And please try no to compete with Telemaque, neither Hon Linton. You can risk having a good go and Skerrit, he is unable to respond academically and with sound knowledge. He is and has been a waste of time. He relies on his circle of political comedians in a circus. Stay focus with Telemaque, bet hell accommodate and you’ll learn from it. You see, he is an intellectual and understand the bigger picture. Well versed, well read and that one cannot say of Skerrit.
Greetings, Gods Guidance.
@viewsexpressed. How foolish! Very, very foolish!
“You see, he is an intellectual and understand the bigger picture. Well versed, well-read and that one cannot say of Skerrit”? You are making me laugh.
Civil disobedience when compared to military disobedience means you are unarmed, and will not face a firing squard after a court marshal, but you can be arrested as a civilian if you break the law, by looting for example.
Peaceful demonstration means you have no intention to disobey the law. You had civil disobedience on May 29 , 1979 when Government H Q was stoned, one person was murdered, on person was beaten up and the Registry was burnt down. That was unlawful behavior by civilians, not the military.
“Peaceful demonstration means you have no intention to disobey the law. “(Joseph John).
Your argument makes absolutely no sense, since civil disobedience has everything with disobeying the law, and the people in authority “the government.”
What does disobedience mean?
Disobedience is defined by the lexicographers at Oxford Dictionaries as Failure or refusal to obey rules or someone in authority.
This thing you are talking about military disobedience makes absolutely no sense also; because, in the military they refer to that as insubordination:
Insubordination is the act of willfully disobeying an order of one’s superior.
Refusing to perform an action that is unethical or illegal is not insubordination; neither is refusing to perform an action that is not within the scope of authority of the person issuing the order.
Insubordination is generally a punishable offense in hierarchical organizations which depend on people lower in the chain of command…
Hon Lennox, is this competent, trusted manager, leader with great foresight and results, because Hon. Linton takes his work and profession exceptionally well. What Hon. Linton has achieved and done, Skerrit in no way is able to achieved that feat and raise to that height. Too many Bobol questions (Bin Bobol, Fertilizer Bobol, Red Clinic Bobol) are awaiting for Skerrit to account for, once he and Labour cronies are kicked out of office. We need them out ASAP and we welcome trusted Leader Hon. Lennox Linton and his professional UWP Team. Skerrit and his failed highly corrupted Labour government must Go. We have had enough of this 19 failed years of this failed, incompetent, Skerrit and his worthless Labour Government.
Dominica needs change. Skerrit and is failed incompetent Labour government ust Go. We welcome Hon Lennox Linton and his highly qualified UWP Team.
We need decent, professional trusted people in government. That will be the UWP Government.
Lennox, in life you need to be very careful what you accuse others of. It may well come back and expose you are. All of Dominica and the Caribbean are beginning to see and know how dishonest and lack integrity you are. (You are exposed). And you lied about it. God is in control Lennox. With all your false allegations and fabricated mischief, it looks like the chickens are coming home to roost.
John Prosper, “in life you need to be very careful what you accuse others of..” You need to be careful si, with this fake comments that yo have no knowledge of. For your information, those of us who sit in government, at the government building, or the Financial Centre. We know what is happening upstairs at the Financial Centre by this comic Failed Odd Minister. What Hon Linton is saying is what we the people need to know about before our economy and resources di9inissh more under this failed Skerrit. When failed Skerrit and his incompetent failed Labour government is gone, an audit will be done, like anywhere else to account the financial abuse and waste of states financial resources. People, civil servants within the system know what is happening and they do not like it. That is why failed Skerrit and this corrupted Labour government must Go and never come back.
We need change in Dominica and we need a mature, responsible, honest, diplomatic and well knowledged Prime Minister. UWP
This man is a real joke. His followers keep shouting where is the money.
Has Mr. Linton even set up his usual press conference and try to educate me or his followers how he arrived at the 1.2 billion dollars. We just hear 1.2 billion and everybody goes wild calling for civil disobedience
As a MSc Finance student am taught to carry out research investigate and analyze before drawing conclusion
1) Can you or your supporters show me evidence on how you arrive at 1.2billions
Maybe your accounting and finance principle will help me understand how you arrive at such figure. Don’t be so arrogant and ask me to find out for myself.
Now he promises $10,000.00 to persons he claimed that were victimized.
Mr. Linton when was that research carried?
How did you arrived at the figure to compensate the victims?
What is your source of fund for the compensation package?
Educate me. The same way you are demanding answers for the money and demanding on you to show me how you arrive at your…
Yessss! 👏 👏 👏
I know some teachers who wouldn’t march, they were afraid to lose their jobs. I am glad you will reinstate and compensate them if the dictator Skerrit decides to victimize them.
Teachers are government employees. Should they actually be marching? Or does democratic principles change on a whim?
Ahhhh. So now you are looking for “democratic principles”? Let’s look at what is going on in this country shall we? State funds being used for Launching DLP candidates, giving coolouts etc. Government vehicles draped with red cloth for DLP motorcade. Our CBI money, state money, placed in a special account for housing, separate from the Treasury accounts. The Prime Minister refusing to account for 1.2 Billion dollars.
Those teachers cannot get an increase in pay. Should they march for their money? Yes! Of course!
Per adventure, your strings are being pulled by those officers who know they are on their way out and so decide they want to talk now just for them to say they were victimized. They not working properly, they lie, they have poor reputations and maybe, disputes within and outside the service and want to act innocent now – just per adventure.
Per adventure, many step up and are let go. How are you going to pay them? Under what head? Are their cases going before a tribunal, magistrate, a panel, ministers or you?
Per adventure, they are compensated. How do you determine their “refund”? Time out of job? Position held? How emotionally distressed they are?
Per adventure, you do not win. Who is going to meet their debts to Courts, Big Edge and Credit Union? You? UWP? Their family members? Drug trade?
Too adventurous for me, I dare say.
Be careful about the persons who surround you or gravitate towards you. Be careful when uttering promises…typical politician, per…
Lennox, it look like you are preaching corruption of the current administration, yet what you are publicly stating by promising payment to individuals even before you get in power is a form of corruption. And if you are a man of honesty and integrity, you need to come clean with your supporters on your meeting with (TERRY BARON). The meeting was real.
You mean Terry Baron, the CBI agent?
” what you are publicly stating by promising payment to individuals even before you get in power is a form of corruption.”
Absolutely not; how can a promises be a form of corruption?
Most of you are so busy trying to find faults in anything Lennox convey, you speak nonsense that are baseless and bias!
For your information corruption is:
” is a form of dishonest or unethical conduct by a person entrusted with a position of authority, often to acquire personal benefit.
Corruption may include many activities including bribery and embezzlement.
Who is the king of bribery in Dominica, Roosevelt; does he have authority?
Bribery in criminal law refers to the improper acceptance by a public official, juror, or someone bound by a duty to act impartially, of any gain or advantage to the beneficiary, including any gain or advantage to a third person by the desire or consent of the beneficiary.
Tell me which variance pertains to Lennox.
Linton is a real man and I know he will deliver. He is not the typical politician that will make promises just to get votes. Mr Linton has a deep love for Dominica and the people of Dominica. He really wants to deliver Dominica and Dominicans from the wickedness of Skerrit. So I , a former laborite, call on my friends in the DLP to vote for country ahead of party this time, like me and let’s vote UWP in every single constituency
You obviously have no idea who Lennox Linton is, what a pity
“You obviously have no idea who Lennox Linton is, what a pity” I firmly believe that your focus is low and unable to compare. We see Hon. Linton as positive, love for his country, is fighting fr decency of our Dominica. We all know what Hon. Linton stands for. Let`s get rid of this failed, hopeless sitting Odd Skerrit Minister and we will see the difference in Dominica soon.
Dominica needs change nd soon. We had enough of Skerrit.
Well, disseminate some information about Lennox that only you know; in any event you will never be able to call him a thief; because in all the years of his existence I don’t know, he stole anything from anybody!
The most you know about Lennox is that he was employed by Ron Abraham; friend of mine who owned Marpin Television; you might have seen him on his program “What About” if he “stole; thief anything from the studio, or Ron, you can bet I would know.
We also know he worked for Observer Radio in Antigua; of which I worked for one of the owners Derick; when I was a little boy, I know the former owners, if he stole from the Derick’s I would know!
We hear he was deported from Antigua, because they say he worked without a work permit.
That is not a crime, if anything I believe Roosevelt Skerrit may have arranged that via Baldwin Spencer, and Dominica born Simon Simon who was the Antigua AG.
Sir, please wake up. A real man, Lennox. The ‘real man’ who went hiding re Maria. The hero who went M.I.A (missing in action). Give us a break. In 4 years all he has done is go up the hill and down the hill and tay lay lay in demonstrations and talk. Now he is making empty promises of $10,000.00 to those we will go on strike and participate in civil violence.
Wow what a man ! He is one bad man.
It is alleged that the UWP had a list of persons who they had intended to get rid off from various jobs and positions if they had won the last elections. I guess the list is most likely much longer this time around…..Victimization is victimization no matter how it is done.
Lennox is such an angry man, we can be assured that if he ever gets to sit in that PM Office, a lot of heads will roll!!!!
“He said according to investigations, the fear of being victimized prevented many supporters from attending”…..LOL, which investigation? By the FBI? Scotland Yard?it is so easy to use such a weak excuse. Lennox, you need to come better than that.
Just asking. Is this a form of bribery?
I was wondering the same…..
No.
we would have willingly and happily joined the march if we knew the big bad wolf couldn’t hurt us. Lennox is offering to protect us by removing the teeth from the big bad wolf. He is being a father. Now we have nothing to fear! Onward to victory! Fear no more!
Oh yes , he is going to bypass the Public Service Commission with money as a motivator, a $10,000 cool out if they go on strike.
His goal is to shut down the country to retard the Maria related reconstruction. He can see the sign of progress. He can see the sign of international recognition with our P M addressing the UN 2 years ago, and our President last month.
He can see the sign of progress under the umbrella of policies of the first climate resilience nation in the world. The major develop countries, and other nations can’t even agree on an international climate policy after two Paris conferences.
But little Dominica is leading this global initiative. Wow.
Signs of progress island wide. The icing on the cake will be the state of the art international airport. So let them talk, talk and more talk to expose their stupidity, incompetence and ignorance.
They are full to the brim with BLUE pontifical nonsensical bombastic verbosity. That is all, is all.
Just sit back and appreciate the genius that is Lennox, Team Dominica and those who support them
Oh, we will definitely win.
Kid, once again we see that Linton has no clue about the employment conditions and procedures of the civil service. He knows nothing about General Orders or Financial and Store rules.
A civil servant salary cannot be stopped. He can be transferred but with the same salary.
A civil servant can only be dismissed if he is convicted of a criminal offence.
Linton is trying to curry favour with the civil servants in attempt to cultivate support at the polls. A minister has no authority to fix salary for government employees.
Again we see propaganda at work, we see usual promises that cannot be kept.
The Government has no reason to victimize civil servants .
Linton the 5 grader does not know that the civil service is made up of the most educated people in the country. They will not be taken for a ride by this uneducated trouble maker.
He is inventing all kinds of fake issues to elevate his importance. He is suffering from the illusion of grandeur.Lies and more lies, again
Mr Letang has nothing to say about this?
Well we see a copy cat again. When CCM addressed the election reform process Lennox said nothing. When Letang tried to get attention and support from the civil service to get political attention Lennox said nothing. When members of his own party started protest action about the CBI money he did not talk.
Now he is banking these issues in a copy cat fashion to boost his campaign.
Now they have become fake issues with his endorsement.
Someone wrote about the Consolidated Fund and he is now parroting it like a 5th grader who does not know what the term means. The same thing he did with the term “carbon footprint.” Unconfirm reports indicate that he went around looking for a Mr Carbon who walks with no shoes.
Whats going on Lennox? After you have been advocating that this administration is corrupt, question? you will start your administration with the same corruption? Im asking because this is what you said.(he is also promising them protection from victimization but compensation as well. These individuals will also receive payment from the state of no less than $10,000.) Stop confusing your supporters. The big question is. Who is Lennox?. Will he lead to change? Or he is more corrupt than we think.
Mr Linton is now scraping the bottom of the barrel. Will give them $10,000
at least if they speak up against corruption and will reinstate them. What of the Service Commission who hires and terminates. My bad advice to public officers is to find something that pleases Mr Linton, squeal, get fired for automatic reinstatement by the Sovereign Linton when he becomes Prime Minister plus a whopping $10,000 bonus.
Mr Linton is making the office of Leader of the Opposition the laughing stock of the Caribbean.
News Flash Mr. Volney (aka laughing stock of the Caribbean) : If someone squeals, a wrong-doing is evident. You of all people should be advocating whistleblower protection laws. (Unless of course you and the cabal you support have something to hide.)
Volney the idiot, noone listens to you .You are an embarrassment even to yourself. So shut up!!
Whey is di money?
Whey is di money?
Whey is di money?
Nonsense. We are talking about $10K ECD. If these individuals have good attorneys, they could get 10 times that amount plus get reinstated! . I think it is only fair that Lennox offers the pitance for Dominica sake! Of course, Lennox is no fool…there will be a process …so don’t think that if you rape, maim, steal, etc., you will be reinstated with a bonus.
Sir, Lennox has already made himself and his party the laughing stock of not only the Caribbean, but in other parts of the world as well. The political
situation in Dominica is being monitored in Dominica since D-Day , February 17, 2017.
The apex of their stupidity is when the 3 blind mice attempted to crash a Heads of Government Conference in Guyana. The Leader, Linton, convinced two educated grown men (a lawyer and a Phd) that they qualified to attend this conference because he Linton held a diplomatic passport.
He has shown that he is an ignoramus when it comes to laws and procedures in all branches of government and of all rules and regulations governing the Civil Servant. His activities are abusive and he assumes power and authority that he cant have and never had. He think he is above the Cabinet (the Government). He has no concept of the mandate of the government or the police. He does not know his funtion as leader of the opposition and Public Account Committee.
The disgraced judge is back again singing for his supper. What a sorry individual…!
The comments of Herbert Volney I dismiss. To be honest, they make no sense to me. Intellectuals like this and othrs are not focussd on the bigger pictue of Dominica, but have personalised this matter that appears and promote hate of the well distinguished Hon Linton.
Skerrit has been in office over 19 years now and where people like you to comment and address the many matters of corruption. Hon. Linton is not in office, therefore you have no decorum to address him with pseudo names that makes no sense nor aptitude. Skerrit is a failure. Hon Linton is the incoming Prime Minister, because Skerrit, as we all know has failed our Dominica & people. He`s this big fake Odd Minister. We need decency in our government that our young promising politicians can address the decency and professionalism of good governance and do not engaed in corruption. That is ……. abuse of states funds, for eg, Skerrits Bin Bobol, Fertilizer Bobol, Red Clinic Bool, from this abusive failed leader. Shame!
Intellectual idiocy wrote this comments, appears not as a professional but engaged in gutter politics. Where this Volney clown has been for the past 19 years to asks failed Skerrit to account for our resources rather than go after Hon. Linton, who wishes, with his ably supported high professional UWP Team to work hard to recover our ailing Dominica created by your failed incompetent Skerrit. Shame on you Volney, your thoughts and write up are despicable, does not, has not addressed the real issues of poverty, fraud, Bobol activities, that is as said, thievery of states funds. Reduced our poor mothers and families to begging where this immature clown Skerrit has opened his office referred to as the “red Cininc”, where we say that this is an abuse of our people, where Skerrit has failed in created jobs for employment but open his office for personal gain where money is dished out just to have people say “We love our PM”. Love our pm, my dirty foot. Volney, where I sit top floor I…
Lennox, I love your quest for honesty and integrity in public office.
DLP has zero % integrity or honesty.
Dominica has earned enough money for the past 20 years to have build an International airport, deep water harbor, sensible housing development for low income earners, a vastly improved infrastructure and a robust education and tourism sector.
we have none of these. Roseau looks like a ” dump field” and Portsmouth looks like an abandon plantation. All this under the DLP.
We need change in this country. We need honest change!!!!
UWP and TEAM Dominica is the only option for Dominica.
By the way, when Labour looses, an investigation into the people’s money has to be conducted. POOR you Skerrit, all the money you hide and assets on people name will be discovered. I Personally want you to go to jail.
I wonder where is he going to get the money to pay them
He is such a critic of the CBI investment
But just to let him know
After the election the UWP is going to bite him out as leader
LL is just an uneducated troubled maker
He will never be prime minister of our beautiful country
I wish, the political intellectual you are, that you will do an assessment of Skerrit and why he has failed as Prime Minister and have our country in this state of begging and poverty. Please do us this honour and try telling us what and where you are Able to tell us that meaningful development is and has taken place in Dominica. For example employment, growth in the economy, people or is it the “Handouts” discrimitory money that he failed Skerrit gives out to our poor people that makes him, failed Skerrit so popular to you. If that is the case then you are blind follower looking inward and not outward to see the state of our poor undeveloped crippled economy and country. LL, (Hon. Lennox Linton) is an educated and versed individual. If you are unaware of Hon Linton`s professional and international work background go ask someone before you jump to fake news. Liisten to Hon Linton, then carefully to Skerrit and you will know the difference as to who is an intellectual. Hon. Linton
We also need “whistleblower protection” laws in Dominica, but you know the people in power will say “that’s to costly.”
My people you see the power we have when we come together as one ,monday show skerrit he not in charge we in charge .They will say anything do anything but it’s not going no where, it’s about time .The people on the balcony of the financial center skerrit heard them many time and we will hear about them very soon a bunch lazy people shame on you all .Skerrit must go.
@JAH KAL “They will say anything do anything but it’s not going nowhere”
Do you know where Lennox will go with those kinds of promises that he is speaking to you all?
Furthermore, when is he going to implement those promises; since he is standing in the box of the opposing government, without the chance of ever sitting in the Prime Minister Seat, because his supporters are very low in number, and he is making the matter worse every time he opens his mouth to speak.
Old lady, today is my birthday; if you did not talk so much, talking about people’s business you do not know I would tell you exactly how old I am!
But you talk too much eh, you think you know my age but you don’t call me tonight and I will tell you how old I am!
And hear this: two women took me out for breakfast, fed me scrambled eggs, and stake along with harsh-brown black tea and milk!
You that cheap woman der did not even wish me happy birth day or give me one single Dominica one cent in all the years I know you.
Broke, broke, broke woman!
Hahahahahahahahahahah!
Oh yea, I forgot, my mistake one day I remember you fed me in Canada, that is when I drank all your beer, and eat all you food, when you looking for de food I boy done eat all oui
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
I know you going to call me liar but I doh care; is true!
Telemaque that’s the best you have nothing to talk about you low down that you have to talk about yourself like this think it so nice you are nothing but a low down type all a long I could read between your lines why don’t you give up and find something to do with your spear time this is not for you because you cannot stick to the point what does going out with two women have to do with this say when last you take a woman out an give them a good time like paying for something look you just in it for your self
Well, if you think I am low, that is a matter for you; nevertheless; I certainly know who I am!
Be informed, Elizabeth and I know each other in person: I think I should be able to kid with her a bit if I chose to do so.
Life is not all about politics all the time, there must be some humor in one’s life.
No matter what I say to Elizabeth, or any derogatory comments she might make about me; or I about her, if I feel like going to Toronto and visit with today I can do, and even her can prevent me.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
You do not know me, if you were to meet me in person; unless I identify myself I could be standing next to you without you recognizing me.
Yet you judge me as being low!
Are you serious?
@wallace hussey, all that talking that man is doing here is nothing but the fictitious fantasies of his mind, there is no truth in what he speaks.
I agree with you, that man needs to find something else to do. Something that suits his age, he is way too old for what he is doing now–that is why it all seems like rubish
Yea, right Elizabeth:
I know that in all your years of living you are still that little twelve year rude lips teacher eh!
Hahahahahahahahahahhahahaah!
People who do not age, forever young, are vampires; I hope you not one oui!
Elizabeth, when I read your silly comments, it appears to be ignoramous thoughts meaning no substance, just personal. You`re so blind to this failed incompetent Skerrit of yours. There is no way that Skerrit can or able to be in the intellectual shoes of Hon. Linton. I work with my colleagues up at the Financial Centre and we all know and discuss the failings of this immature Skerrit. You see, you listen to beff on the radio, we listen to BS coming from the top floor. I take it that you are also in denial of the following: Read well and pray for Dominica that Skerrit goes. Here are the corrupted lists:
1) The Bin Bobol 2)The Fertilizer Bobol, 3)The Red Clinic BoBOL, of those Skerrit broke state`s Protocal of our financial affairs of the state, our tax money is to be administered. Skerrit needs to be put before an inquiry to account for these bribery and misuse and abuse of our States money. That’s why he scared of Linton. Elizabeth, there`s no development taking place in Dominica.
And remind Queen Elizabeth that the worst of all thus far is the one billion ($1.2) billion two hundred million missing dollars Lennox exposed recently.
There are other malfeasance Lennox discovered, and exposed; everything Lennox has done thus far is in the interest of our country.
Nevertheless, most people have blinded themselves from seeing the damage Roosevelt has done; to a point where most people in the country has lost the will to even provide for themselves; hence whereas there are no employment opportunities their dependency is on Roosevelt who is absolutely a dictator.
In Elizabeth’s case she like Roosevelt, therefore the truth disseminated about him she will never believe.
It is the same with the fellow “Man bite Dog”, who believe in order for Roosevelt to move money out of the country he would have take it out in a bag!
He is unaware all one needs is a corroborator in a bank and the use of money transfer via wire.
Take us to the “Promised Land” – A Dominica for ALL Dominicans.
From the bondage of fear and victimization, Let my people go!!
“The time is always right to do what is right.” ~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
I dont think this is a good move. There may have been public officers who lost their jobs due to under performance. they will play the victim, be given back a job and still compensated with ten stacks? I see a can of worms being opened. Some may actually have legitimate cases which call for reinstatement, however, how do we determine the cheese from the chalk to prevent abuse of this initiative?
This is just an empty promise from Lennox, one simply designed to massage the emotions of those he is alleging were victimized. It would be interesting if he would be able to produce a list of such persons…Is he referring to the likes of Dr. Pascal who has retired as opposed to having been dismissed? Funny
Lenox Linton, you also promised the custom officer who caught you smuggling crab back out of the country, his job back. You demanded his immediate reinstatement! When will you stop blowing hot 🥵 air from your back 🚪 door. It’s despicable on how you are playing on people’s emotional problems.
In a domo-cracy the citizens are to pick sides among each other, labour, workers or freedom, demo-cracy=DC= divide control. In a one party state it’s the people and the government, people united. In China you change the leader every 5 years and not the party and only the best of the best are chosen. You could never have a president like a Donald Trump today or a Lennox Linton tomorrow . There is no wash your foot and come in China for leadership. Skerrit been through the process now well trained based on experience that’s why he will never ask Dominicans to do anything based on his opinion.
Flintstone: Skerrit What!!!!??????
The huge Passport money we are still asking questions. 9) The incompetence of Skerrit, lacks knowledge and aptitude as to what soci-development is. 10) A bunch of weird so called advisors who we believe may be well paid from our states money.
“Skerrit been through the process now well trained based on experience that’s why he will never ask Dominicans to do anything based on his opinion.”
What is this process? My questions to you: 1. The Bin Bobol, 2) the Fertlizer Bobol, 3) The 19 Fake ministers, 4) The lost of our Bananas, now farmers are poor, no money to feed children and families, 5) The wasteful incompetent 19 ministers and idiotic so called advisors fleecing our state money?, 6) Our villages are dead, no jobs no agricultural farming as before, 7) The passports scandals,
So Elizabeth and your Blind Loyalists of this failed Skerrit! Why?, Well they fear that Hon. Linton will reverse these fraudulent abusive matters and invest in…
Linton and the jokers party vs Skerrit and the labour party. When Linton preach hate, Skerrit preach love. When Linton say bad, Skerrit say good. When Linton say break down Skerrit say build up. When Linton say theif Skerrit preach forgiveness. When Linton say devil, Skerrit say God. When Linton go low, Skerrit go high.
Skerrit has the right strategy for these jokers so continue, they say evil can never conquer good so we go see.
“Skerrit preach love” by saying:
“Throw hot water on them!” “Anywhere you see them go up to their faces and call them Traitors.” “I run ‘tings in Dominica.” “Not your damned business!”
Mouton maré pa lé wè kouto. – The tied sheep doesn’t want to see a knife.
Your promises aren’t worth the paper it’s written on %! We the people of Marigot are demanding and are holding you to the barrage of your empty promises. How about the developers you promised the land in exchange for campaign money, where do you have that property you promised? Again and again you have label Dominica as the 💩 poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, now you are articulating that you are going to automatically give a $10, 000 raise! As a high school dropout do you realize your math doesn’t add up, that’s Houdini math skills. Your guts tell you $$$ is missing and it’s in Skerrit pocket. Can you please stop blowing hot air and tell us how you are going to generate money💰 since Dominica is so bankrupt.
are you planning to use the CIB money, that you are trying to destabilize and destroy. We elected you to represent us, Lennox, you have not done nothing for us in the Marigot Constituency!
You doggone no brainer and idiot.Do you want me to vote twice?
I vote in Roseau South .
I am voting Sikiri!!!
“”Sikiri for All Are we””!
Whey is di money?
Whey is di money?
Whey is di money?
Vote once yes, vote twice no seems like you LIARS forgot the RED INK PRINT on our THUMB. You all well trained on LIES, PLANS and TRICKS, every time election is around the coner you LIARS preach ” oh UWP already win the election.” I kw what I know and I kw for sure that we the LABOURITES stand STRONG with our PM, and DLP cuz we want a better and brighter Dominica. Don’t try to FOOL or SCHOOL us, we’re not blind.
Well said patriot Linton.. You are indeed a real son of the soil who upholds good governance, probity, accountability and transparency..
Turn out was low????????? I strongly disagree! I took note of all the by-standers, those on their balconies and windows cheering us on. Many of them were scared of publicly participating because of discrimination, and the number was large!
I reiterate that you have grown tremendously in your position as opposition leader..The best by a long way that Dominica has seen .
As you prepare for your soon to be position of PM, I really wish you well. Keep on standing up for the voiceless..Your work is not going unnoticed!!
Whey is the money?
Whey is the money?
Whey is the money?
