    Based on my own dealings with lawyers in Dominica I have concluded that 95% of them (especially the men) are embarrassing and deal making Crooked Crooks. The other 5% are being spoiled by the majority of them. They are liars, I mean β€œlawyers” only in name. Their practice and habits tell a different story. So I’m not surprised. Some of them will one day lose their bogus license. They bring shame on the country. Bad lawyers cause much and hardship to Dominica as does a bad and corrupt government. God is already seeing to that. What goes up, must come down.

      I have to agree with you. 93% of the lawyers in Dominica are associated with Skerrit in one way or another too. I think it’s absolutely disgusting.

    Mr Lawrence your speech was as clear as mud. I have no idea what I am supposed to be doing and when I can do it. Please can someone enlighten me.

    Lennox Lawrence. Many of you may not know of him. Ok take him back from PSS to now. Why would you be surprised of him? His a troubled and confused man and the bread and wine that have not been fully digested will exacerbate his confusion as his days go by. Everything of him and by him is jombie and most of all he looks like a jombie.

    In my two previous postings I established the fact that Covid 19 came upon us a month after Skerrit called us to a 3 days of prayer and fasting, at a time when they were praising Skerrit’s leadership for keeping us covid Free. Let me again quote Ms. Gretta Robert because I want her to look back. Here is Ms Robert telling us what we should pray for during our time of fasting:
    ” According to Roberts prayers will be offered during the course of the day at 9:00AM, 12 noon and 3:00PM on various radio stations to pray for protection during the hurricane season and the Covid-19 Pandemic”.
    Now Ms Robert, do you remember shortly after you told us what to pray for COVID-19 came upon us? You remember where it started? Do you remember which community was isolated and under curfew? Ms Robert it all started in your constituency! So next time Skerrit asks you to use God’s holy name in vain make sure you remind him of how that thing backfired on you. DNO I hope you post all three of my comments.

    Lennox Lawrence got close to being a priest and now the man is there making a fool of himself with Skerrit as they continue to mislead and deceive the people. Do Father Lennox Lawrence, did the 3 day of prayer and fasting of Skerrit backfire? You remember Skerrit called a weekend of prayer and fasting in on June 25-27 when we were covid 19 free and one of the reasons for the fast was in light of covid 19? See what we got in response
    Not even church we can go to
    Gason God is not mocked and what we sow thats what we will reap. I hope those blind worshippers of Skerrit are taking note because its either God punished us for taking his name in vain or just showed us that we can deceive man but we cant fool God with our false pretense.

    Does any one remember those 3 days of prayer and fasting Skerrit put us under from June 25-27? Here a quote from one of his corrupt ministers:

    “According to Roberts prayers will be offered during the course of the day at 9:00AM, 12 noon and 3:00PM on various radio stations to pray for protection during the hurricane season and the Covid-19 Pandemic.” Note the last part : for protection during…the covid 19 pandemic. We were also to pray for a spirit of unity. Sounds good and holy right? At that time we were declared covid FREE and Skerrit wanted some holy credit. A month later we jumped to over 200 cases and, we are in curfew and cant even go to church. Boy you talk about a reversal?

    Skerrit, is this a rebuke from God as you consistently use his name and holy word to cover up your lies, deception and hypocrisies? I would like my Bishop and Evangelist Peter Augustin tell us if that was Gods way of answering to our 3 days of prayer and fasting because i am confused.

    I’m not sure what’s worse – exposure to covid or exposure to Lennox Lawrence’s curfew update. Probably the worst and most confusing presentation of the entire pandemic, anywhere. Beyond embarrassing. I’m still hoping someone will interpret it for me.

    This government should open up itself to Press Conferences instead of Press Briefings. If there were an active and real media association in Dominica , most of the independent media houses would have bonded together and request that press conferences be held by government and no journalist should be excluded.

    Failure to acquiesce to this request there would be a news block-out of information from government sources. That’s how you move mountains.

    Skerrit’s mantra is divide and rule. I was very much disappointed, but not totally surprised, when DNO accepted Skerrit’s invitation and attended his Dolly House cartoonish show. By doing this, DNO is part of the problem and not part of the solution. Grow a backbone man.

      Skerrit will never do that. Somebody that lies so much can’t subject himself to press conferences where he has to think on his feet.

    When those press briefings are being thought of, why Skerrit and Lennox Lawrance can’t just stay out of it..Those two individuals particularly Skerrit, more confuse the people than anything else. I listened to Lennox Lawrance, he himself did not know what he was reading. I thought he had the capacity to break down things to his ordinary labourites, but he couldnt. SHAME ON YOU MAN!!!
    YOU MUST BE EMBARRASSED!!
    So i am sure that those who listened must be even more lost and embarrassed.
    What a bunch of shameless jokers. They forte is to do what is wrong only!!!.

      % do not expect anything good from this regime. You will be disappointed everytime. Their one and only objective is to hold on to power nothing else. Some people, everything they touch turns to good. With this government, everything they touch disintegrates. Proof: economy, agriculture, manufacturing, agro-processing, healthcare, the public service and lastly covid-19.
