Opposition United Workers Party (UWP) senator, Ronald Charles, is at it again, single-handedly taking action to demonstrate his dissatisfaction with the conduct of the Dominica Labour Party (DLP) administration.
Charles, who is also the UWP candidate for the Roseau Valley Constituency, on Monday, started a one-man protest in Roseau in an effort to get Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Roosevelt Skerrit to properly account for revenue generated under the Dominica Citizenship by Investment Programme for the 2018-2019 financial year.
“Basically I have been personally silent on that issue for a long time because it is my conviction that the Honourable Lennox Linton and the next Prime Minister of Dominica has articulated the issue as it relates to the CBI program and the accountability factor,” he stated.
He said it appears that by all accounts, that something is wrong as it relates to the justification of the missing funds pointing out that there is confirmation from the government side itself that there appears to be an issue.
Charles said the government has an obligation to provide a proper accounting of the CBI funds to the people.
“We talking about who have high education, who did not do this and who did not complete this by the Prime Minister rather than dealing with the issues of accountability and giving the people the answers that they deserve and I think more than enough time has passed … there is all kind of diversion and spin-doctor tactics that have been employed and I think as an individual, as a Dominican, as somebody who would want to know where the money gone to,” he told DNO.
Charles believes that it is his responsibility as a citizen to stand up and ask the question in regards to the missing funds adding that he wants the world to hear and see what is happening.
“That was the real reason for it, because I feel like sometimes too much talking doesn’t get us anywhere. Sometimes we have to stand up; standing up means putting our collective goals, all our ideas together and make this government see that we are serious about accountability and in the circumstances, I will stand and I will continue to stand for the people of the Commonwealth of Dominica, to get answers from the Prime Minister as it relates to where the money has gone,” he insisted.
Charles made it clear that the protest action is not an organised event. He said everyone else who joined him afterwards, did so of their own free will.
“I am not an organiser; it is a one man billion dollar protest and it was me standing by myself. I am not organising anything, it should be very much articulated that there is no form of organising…So this is not an organised thing, it is Ronald Charles going out there and people have decided to join me because I believe that similar sentiments have been expressed by them and therefore, that is why I started this morning by myself,” he explained
Charles was later joined by Dr. Sam Christian, passers by and some members of the general public. His intention is to continue the protest as long as he can in order to receive answers from the government.
The protest is continuing today near the Anglican Church at the intersection of Turkey Lane and Victoria Street, close to the Fort Young Hotel.
Placing state funds in an account outside of the consolidated fund goes against our constitution. It is therefore illegal. Why is the Attorney General mute? 🔇 Mr. Savavin, what say you? Are we condoning the illegal here? No law? No constitution? This is unacceptable.
UWPARROTS, know CORRUPTION very well.$ 1,600,000 fertilizer BOBOL by the guy from Pointe Michel.$ 4,000,000 Valley Road BOBOL,$ 6,000,000 Switzerland BOBOLWant U.W.PARROTS to name DLP bobol and amount.With facts.

ADMIN: If you are referring to how highlighting of comments are handled we appreciate your feedback and may use it to change this in the near future.
So we have Ronald Charles as the Billion Dollar Man and Lennox Linton as the 2.2 billion dollar man and a host of uwp followers trawling for CBI money. Where is our 3.2 million US dollars they say. The answer is upon the mango tree.
Voices are babbling about money that only exist in the delusional mind of the uwp gang bangers. There was a gold rush in California long ago and many explorers were looking for the mystical Eldorado, but as of this time it is treasure hunting the uwp way with talk, press conference and demonstration. Even Seville Servants will be crushed if they are in the way of these desperate money rushers. The world have seen what greed for money can do to those uwp types. It is not Skerrit must go anymore its “where is our money.” its like Julius Caesar willed it to them and they want their blue hands on it by any means necessary.
Shut down the Government call INTERPOL, the international police based in London so they can go to Dominica to conduct an investigation. Do not open Government back up till all the money is accounted for.
Since this money is not generated locally but comes from persons overseas they need to get on the horn and call INTERPOL, the international police based in London, that way INTERPOL can go to Dominica and conduct an investigation and audit as to the location of missing funds and take action. If the money is not in the Dominica treasury questions need to be asked why not.
Adm. that is my dreams I got. please delete my post.
But why now THEY so interested and concerned about the JUMBIE MONEY?
Looks like the JUMBIE MONEY is everyone own now!
Funny how time can change.. Rather be broke and free than talk about JUMBIE MONEY.
Because Fami wachen. See how Dominica has progressed so much more than PR…
Oh Maybe..He is not Donald Trump..He is the head I don’t care how long people work before him. Poor reasoning. Where were you after hurricane Maria. Scribes and Pharisees.
I feel sorry for Ronald Charles for making a real nonsense of himself. Where did you study law?
Ronald Charles is just a bum. I hope he is wearing a classy Perry Elis white shirt on him for a lawyer.
You damn lie! What your dream tell you about Skerrit? Did you see where he put our money?!
How about the lotto numbers for your girl?
I truly applaud anyone who tries to right wrongs especially of a government and individual public officials. So Mr. Charles I applaud you for your efforts. Don’t relent, don’t be discouraged as the majority of the country is solidly behind you. Your detractors are parasites making noise to distract from preventing us to get to the bottom of the truth. One serious observation about Dominicans. Dominicans rely on politicians too much to take the good fight to the powers that be for the wrongdoings being done to the citizens and the country in general. Nothing shakes up a government than the collective power of the people. That’s the reason this rogue regime uses the Divide and Rule strategy so well. That’s the only thing the government does perfectly well. Without transparency and accountability corruption reigns. Get these corrupt bandits out of power ASAP . They are an existential threat to the country
Ibo MALAPROP France, Why don’t you get your butt out there and lend support instead you sit in front a computer or on a smart phone writing the BS you are writing?! You talk of collective power but when you hide and don’t join, is this collective? People like you set the fire and encourage the fools to feed the flames and take all the heat. Ibo MALAPROP France, YOU and the UWP are the real existential threat to the country and the people. Get a life and do something productive with it. TRAITOR!
Skerrit, in broad day light the money has disappeared?
What did you do with the 2.1B dollars missing?
Are you asking to give you another 5 years, for another 10 BILLION to disappear?
We had enuff Skerrit. It’s time to pack up and make way for Hon. Linton and his Team.
Maybe if Dominica had a proper functioning legal system they would have the papers to present in court, but the corrupt Gov’t will not show proof of in coming funds how it was spent and what is the balance. You cannot blame that man for taking a stand,Skerrit will not show proof to members of Parliament but he gave extensive information to Price Water House.For those critics put on your thinking cap check yourself and the Gov’t practices and make an educated and reasonable assessment.
Maybe if Dominica had a functioning and independent Police force they might have started looking into this. I mean there is a serious issue here, because the finance minister makes us believe 2+2=7
People are being bought off, that’s why. It is a cover-up.
Skerrit is a compulsive LIAR. I don’t believe any thing he says unless it can be verified. He is uniquely unqualified to be the Money Minister. He has not even one minute of formal training in finance. Open the books to forensic auditors if you are confident all is fine. Dominicans,
expose Skerrit and his corrupt sycophants for having their snouts in the government’s coffers. Where the 1.2 billion gone?
You for Real! Did you Ronald Charles use the term accountability? Please don’t clown 🤡 yourself. I understand that it’s political, but keep your skeletons in the closet with your accountability. Ibo, You reference PM as a compulsive… now the reign was just handed to Ronald as the notorious liar.
For those of you who think that is just a few of them out there. The few of them you see are representing thousands who cannot be out there for whatever reason. They represent our long suffering police and nurses, the teachers and other public workers who are unhappy but fear victimization. Our diaspora. Labourites, who need to look red to keep their coolout. Others, who about to ask Skerrit for a favour.
Thank you Mr. Charles, Dr. Sam and the other brave patriots for standing for us all. Thank you, those who post online. Thank you, those who call on the radio.
We have unity of purpose. Skerrit must Go! Period.
Ronald why do person like yourself do those things? First where are your facts? You must show the paperwork to show the amount received as revenue. You know very well that the PM/ anyone cannot cash any cheque which is intended for the Government coffers. You know that the Treasury Department receives all monies/pay on behalf of the country& talking about the Treasury, they do a fine good job to ensure that documents, contracts are in order b4 payment is made. Ronald stop those nonesense to person who have no clue how accounting is done. Stop playing on their weaknesses. They hear voleur & they like to repeat. You know well Ronald that there is no missing monies but if is so, you guys expect to win election on propaganda, then I am very sorry for you guys. Come better than that. All funds paid out must be properly substantiated & goes thru the rigid audit department. Stop playing on the minds of the ignorants instead educate them on Civics – nation. Stop destroy reputations
what world do you live in? Have you ever heard about corruption or under the table deals? If this is your stance, why hasnt the government provided information on ALLLL the money recieved through the CBI program for that period on question? they have given info on names who recieved passports, but i personally want to know what category of passport each person applied under, the applicable fees and amounts recieved. Then i want a breakdown of the expenses paid for with money collected from the CBI to fund the respective projects. Dont just tell me you spend xyz on abc without proof of how much you collected on my behalf to spend on xyz when abc only costs a 3rd of what you collected. then turn around and tell me everything balanced. wheere is the rest of the money. All you people acting like your mothers never sent you to the shop. Bring ALL the lady change back for her. RIGHT!
These are very good questions, but Linton with his fith grade education do not know who to ask or what to ask for. Even when the relevant laws were quoted to him and the proper procedure outlined he still went on a rampage of “where is my money.” He did some old school 5th grade multiplication to support his misguided request which does not even deserve an answer, then rush to a press conference. After 4 years in the House, he does not know how to get a reply to a question standing in his name, and if he is not satisfied with the answer he does not know what to do. He is like bear rabbit sitting on a rock by the river wondering “what shall I do.”
They say the Vikings discovered the Americas but when they got there they did not know where they were or how they got there. When they got back home did not know where they had been ; that is the profile of the uwp tim tim. ( bois shesh) party.
In their political hibernation they dream in the daytime and have nightmares at noon.
???????????, you are just a brainwashed, sycophantic goon of one of the most nakedly corrupt governments on this planet. Your criticisms, condemnation and personal attacks on Mr. Charles for trying to get at the truth for the missing $ 1.2 000 000 000 says so much about your state of mind. For some people to defend this government’s ubiquitous corrupt practices their souls and minds have to be overly dark and sinful. They are agents of Luficer. Go and bruise your knees in solemn repentance for your unwavering support for such a roguish group of unscrupulous bandits.
Every revolution on this earth has been started by one man. Don’t give up the fight. The only needed for corruption to thrive is for food men to remain silent. Don’t be one of those who remained silent and allowed labor party to sell Dominica. Join the fight for change. Change is a must and they will be called upon to account.
DNO
Just an observation.
I have been noticing since last week, that every comment made by someone that talks in favor of the government is highlighted pink and those who comments favor UWP is in normal color. DNO what is up with that? This is unacceptable.
To Ronald Charles please tell us what are your plans for your community and Dominica by extension? When you get in power what will you do to change our lives? This is what we want to know 8 months before election. “Uncle where is the money is a quote from Skerrit”, be original and find your own quote. You do not want to know where the money is because the government told you guys and DNO apologize because they too could not call Skerrit a thief.
Come on brother that is stale news it wont work because everyone has more or less made up their minds so we hear you but we know this is a political game. So lets be productive here once and for all, because the time is now or never. you seem like a decent guy lets debate issues at…
ADMIN: Those comments are automatically highlighted based on the difference between dislikes to likes they receive. We do not manually pick which ones get highlighted or not.
Dno u even replying to that dam …. there? Common sense ..the …… not seeing is as a result of dislikes. ..my God those labourites are really dogon fools..
@Real Boss-la,.. we know we are fools, but we will not follow you with the white colonial plantation master profile. We will not call your uneducated boss-la massa because massa day is done, Labour has the crown.
We may be fools but we are not going to follow the Judas goat leader with 5 grade education. We may be fools but we have enough common sense and basic instinct to follow a leader with a first degree and a recipient of two citation for achievement and recognized success with two honorary doctorates. When we refer to our leader and we say Dr Dr the Rt Honarable Roosevelt Skerrit it makes you all ready to burst blood vessels. You all become stressed out with panic crisis.
We maybe fools but we know how to chose a competent educated leader who will stand with us during disasters. Strong with youthful energy he is the right man in our hour of need.
We may be fools but we will never follow the post retired facially challenged liar LINTON.
I will protest with my vote. Now I have needs and I cannot stand because they will cut me off. But I will make my vote talk for me. Remember how Elijah thought he was alone? But God told him he has 7000 that had not kissed Baal 1 Kings 19:14-17. Many of us laborites voting UWP but we cant talk and we even pretending we hate all you. But don’t we will protest with our vote
The high light is not well explained because if you look there are many of them that have the same dislike and are not high lighted.
ADMIN: It’s not based on a set number of dislikes, the dislikes must be a certain number higher than the number of likes for it to be highlighted.
Ronald, i have always expressed my opinion that You,Josh or Isaac would be better to lead the UWP. Please dont start by making a fool out of your political career. You are an attorney at law man. If you have the facts at your disposal that this Skerrit’s administration is holding somewhere or has mishandled 1 billion dollars of the state’s funds, take them to court. You are an attorney at law for goodness sake. Get a few lawyers with you and sue the government. This is how oppositions handle rulling governments. Standing on the road side with holding signs is just hog wash crap. Or, you are beginning to make me think its false allegations. If you cant dont have the facts, stop these nonsense. You are just strengthening the Labor Party supporters.
JP he has no facts. Yes indeed it is false allegations since you cannot provide facts and just following the leader. Ronald you are only maligning the character of the persons at the Audit Department and Treasury Department where funds go in and out.
More lame excuses for a government that has the public accounts locked away in an impenetrable vault. When a public entity hides the truth from the public it gives rise to all sorts of speculations. No matter how long Skerrit and his corrupt disciples try to bury the truth to keep it from public scrutiny it shall be unearthed one day. If the government were transparent like an open book, there will be no need for doubts. Let your demigod release every minute details about the CBI accounts and prove Mr. Linton wrong. Short of that we will take Mr. Linton’s words over Mr. Skerrit’s as the PM is not known for his veracity. Do you remember the Garbage Bins Bobol? Mr. Linton was precisely right. This is no wild speculation. It’s time for people of your ilk to face the facts.
You talking …. Google Haiti. Google Hong Kong. Google Puerto Rico. When you stand by the road and shout, the government listens.
They have no facts, they never have any facts on anything. They feed on fiction. This latest money propaganda is based on Linton’s inability to do basic math, basic multiplication.
He does not have a clue on any governmental procedures: local, regional or international. Remember his trip to Guyana with an educated lawyer and a Phd graduate. That is the state of affairs of the uwp Tim Tim party.
Common Ronald if you a going to “demonstrate” at least have people show up man. My classmate and childhood friend this makes you look really foolish.
I have been saying this for a long time. The greatest hindrance a black man has, is another black man. That is how we were enslaved. The slave traders had help from people like you. Call yourself a friend. The man is out there shouting for justice for us and you call him foolish. Wow. He doesn’t have to do this, it is for the suffering people in Dominica. You should go stand next to him.
Are we raising questions in the streets that should be raised in the House of Assembly ? Is Linton option to get answers from the Clerk of the House being nullified by his Lawyer Hon Ronald Charles. ( Was Roland Lander replaced by Ronald Charles).
Was something wrong with Linton 5th grade multiplication that resulted in the number 2.2 billion US dollars missing.
It seems the Hon Charles million dollar man posture is the stimulus to attract a mob for chaos and violence because Linton 2.2 billions dollar lie is not gaining any traction.
2.2 billion dollars is a lot of money collected in one year. I do not have a copy of the Estimates, but what was the amount collected and spent in previous years, like the last 3 years.
Can the Hon Roland Charles post the numbers because as a member of the house he should have access to these figures. As a million dollar man he can do better than his political leader Lennox Linton the smart handsome man. The black Jack Palance.
As a sitting judge when I was, I would’ve asked
Attorney Charles for basis of his argument. His statement is where is the money. The first thing he would have to do is establish that money existed. That is the fallacy of his non
Argument- that $1.2B XCD existed in the first place. Sadly his argument is that his leader says government received the money
But there’s no proof
and the onus is on him to establish this
fact. This has not
been done to date.
The proof of the passport ownership/sale is in the official gazette produced by our reputable FS. Lennox estimated the money that should have been collected based on the amounts advertised on the government’s own website. The PM said on record that the money did in fact exist, only that it came from a CBI “housing option” none of us knew about. The PM therefore confirmed that Lennox was right. All we need now is for our PM to tell us which escrow account he put our money, money that should have gone to our treasury.
Ok you clever DLP justice. Skerrit himself said that he sold more than 3,900 passports in that period. At the advertised rate, how much does that equate to? The other question how many passport has he sold all together since he is PM (including diplomatic passports). Where is all that money gone. PWC will make a statement tomorrow telling the world that the Skerrit regime build a brand new international airport from that as well as a state of the art marina in Portsmouth and a four lane super highway linking Roseau with Portsmouth with all bridges of course being state of the art ‘climate resilient’. What a great PM Dominica has. The only problem is that the people that actually live on the island can’t see any of these things. It’s only some DLP supporters occasionally after election events can see some of these projects because the rum was freely flowing.
Such dumb people it was paper talk no money.. Do you really believe that PM mishandled all that funds. A lie..trying to be little the best PM Dominica ever has. Go Figure. Stuups. We praying for you PM
Doe worry volney all you so may be implicated when government change.. all you better run to the end of the Earth..
Let’s get one thing clear Herbie, you WERE a sitting judge – “Were” for a reason. Secondly, you are ignoring the principle of the protest, which is full disclosure and transparency. It is irrelevant the amount – $900M, $1B, $5B – just as long as the government can match the passports which we were told were sold, with the listed prices, for the past 5 to 7 years. We would also like to see all escrow account depository receipts as well.
LYING.Common Sense,LINTON asked the nation to pick-up their calculators and multiply 3,961 by 50,000.COMMON SENSE what does that have to do with CBI funds.Secondly you are telling another LIE.SKERRIT has always said no MONEY is missing.It is you and your LYING,LAZY people who say money is missing.Now you are saying money is UNACCOUNTED for.You should have listened to Parliament.Remember LINTON saying nobody told him how the CDI workes? If LINTON does not know how the CBI works,how does he know money is missing.The reason why LINTON asked for a report from the FS is because he is CLUELESS as to what is happening with CBI funds.LINTON has always been against the CBI.So he did not make it his business to know.HE know he is going to lose the ELECTION he is looking for a SCAPE,-Goat.PURE COMMON SENSE.
But pm I see people that working long before have a better salary than you can you tell us where that money coming from with all your personal investment show us your tax return
Roland you guys is under pressure, pressure lots more to come suckers pressure, pressure, pressure tell your leader go take a jump!!!
So you acknowledging there is a $1 billion issue that got explained (legit or not) as an after thought then, good thing someone caught that?
Pressure? Skerrit that under pressure. You don’t see how his eyes red. He can’t sleep. Whole night he up thinking of what to do or what to say that workers cannot use against him.
He cannot afford to make any mistakes now. We watching him ever so closely 🔎
awa wi with all u people, get a life
“…in an effort to get Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Roosevelt Skerrit to properly account for revenue generated under the Dominica Citizenship by Investment Programme for the 2018-2019 financial year…”
Give us a break. The Bin Bobol was not accounted for. The Fertilizer Bobol was not accounted for and we need to protect our tax monies and the state finances from Failed, incompetent failed Skerrit and his blind so called Cabinet and supporters. Well done Hon. Charles and your supporters.
“Opposition United Workers Party (UWP) senator, Ronald Charles, is at it again, single-handedly taking action to demonstrate his dissatisfaction with the conduct of the Dominica Labour Party (DLP) administration. Keep up the good work and let us together get rid of failed, incompetent, Odd Minister Skerrit.
We need a true account of our states money and we need an audit to be conducted by failed PM & FM. Skerrit Go.
We need trusted UWP Govt., Hon Linton & trusted UWP Team.
1.2 Billion dollars after hurricane Maria. We would like a comprehensive report. 1. how many passports were sold from 2005 to 2018. 2. How many passports were sold for $225,000. dollars. 3. How many passports were sold for $100,000. dollars. How many passports were sold for $35,000. dollars. How much money was collected from the CBI programme from 2005 TO 2018 and how much money has been spent on all projects in Dominica. No elections before these questions are fully answered.
Wow these guys have a lot of time to waste .that’s very much counter productive I’d rather be in my garden or helping a neighbor.
Yes. Go in your garden. Nonsense!
Let the people talk for their country.
The people that there demonstrating stretching out their finger should tell Ronald how much of the money was paid to assist in their accident recovery overseas.
If we had proper functioning hospitals, no one would have to go overseas for accident recovery!
By any reasonable doubt , these guys keeps asking where’s the money.
Have they taken keen interest to articulate the account of such funds ?
What is the bench mark in demand where’s the money?
What formula have they use to come up with this figure?
What’s the role of the chairman of the accounts committee?
Did they ever addressed the money they received for the 2005 election?
How are they going to repay the investors who gave them campaign funding ?
These protester has loss a common thread, they are ill informed and lack the ability to make any meaningful contribution towards Dominica’s development.
They are now playing a name game theory to catch votes . This same tactics will have them wondering, what next…
Why all you labourites burying your head in the sand? Do you realize that while your head is safely burried in the sand, the rest of your body is still in the air? Skerrit said with his own lips that he decided not to put the money ( over 1 billion dollars) in the treasury, we want to know, if not in the treasury, where is it? Where is the money?!
Oh ti largent ah ?!
That is the simple question he is refusing to answer.
@ Dominica Massive,….It is obvious to those who graduated with more than a fifth grade education that the Hon Charles is playing the blame game, again. The uwp tim tim operatives have been doing that for almost five years now. They have been jumping from none issue to none issue hoping something will give in their favour , but their efforts are in vain. These pretend issues are getting stuck and sinking in political quick sand. They are always “discovering” new leverage that disappears like blue smoke in a storm.( I wanted to say hurricane but they might lose courage and go hiding again).
Their tract record indicates that they hold the world record for the most demonstrations and press conferences in the world. I don’t think one can get a Nobel Prize or a double honorable Doctorate for that, or even a high school diploma for their leader.
Word on the street is that the Hon Charles will join Linton to crash the next OAS heads of government meeting, then press conference…
Don’t worry, two boots are on the ground today. But on election day the silent Masses will speak!
Yes the silent majority will speak louder than the noisy uwp minority .
To every blue boots you put on the ground there will be 100 red ones, ready shinning and waiting.
Ronald Charles is clueless. Let him think he can come there in his shirt and tie and upstage Lennox.
This is not about Lennox. It is about our Prime Minister and Minister of Finance decidibg, on his own, to put state funds in and account outside of the treasury. Mind you, he is doing this at a time when we have thousands of souls living in poverty, and hundreds of thousands of souls not getting proper health care. So every Dominican should be asking the same question.
Upstage Lennox for what and why? They are a team, I know so, I see so, I believe so. If yo want to save your Dominica and your family, go after that failed incompetent failed Skerrit, who will never, can never get into the shoes of our decent Hon Lennox Linton and Leader of the Opposition. There are too many issues out there that we wake up and kick out failed Immature Skerrit and his worthless so called Labour Failed Government out of office. Too much Bobol and failure to development our people and country over the past wasteful 19 years under failed immature blind Skerrit. Skerrit has been this waste of time Odd Minister, we need him out and he must Go. Go out, \Go somewhere, Get lost. We the UWP will raise our people and our Domininca to the highest level that we capture our nature isle Dominica back to some level of decency. We need professionals to manage our nature isle & we need to kick out immature fail Skerrit.
We welcome Hon Linton as Prime Minister and his Trusted UWP…
I hope PM or someone around him is smart enough to tell him to tell the people where he put their money because as small as it may be now I see trouble coming. So I call on laborites and friends of Skerrit to tell Skerrit to tell us where the money is.
You see trouble. Thanks for the warning. So it is all about making trouble that is why Hon Charles is in the streets with boots on the ground instead in the House. Well we will be waiting for him and his gang. We faced Maria for practice and Mathew and Erica before that without going into hiding. We are too legit to quit, too strong to be overcomed , too big to beat. We are the DLP soldiers in Red. We are the Red Nation, we en afraid of them, so bring it on. we are not 14 and under 14 year old little girls.
I want all you who putting their hands in the cookie jar to remember two people:
Allen Standford:
* Previously known as SIR Allen Stanford, a Texas Billionaire.
* Known now as a fraudster involved in a $7 BILLION fraud scheme.
* Where is he now: In Jail, for life.
Jeffrey Epstein:
* Previously known as a Multimillionaire.
* Known now as a sex trafficker and procuring underage children for sex.
* Where is he now: DEAD. Hung himself in jail.
The point I am making is all the money you have will not save you. One common denominator between the two is…….. JAIL!
It is just a matter of time.
True words Jack Sparrow; Billionaires and millionaires dead or in jail
He has nothing to lose. He can leave these set of ignorant people and move to Canada or US. He is an educated man. Then have a better life so chill.
Brothers keep the pressure on am in the US but am their in spirit Dominicans i want to see u guys by the thousands. DNO please we in the outside world would like to see more picture. UNCLE WAY THE MONEY.
Good to go Ronald. The report from the Govt. accountants is a diversion. Lennox never said he is against the CBI. He is against the ways it is run with no transparency or accountability. If Skerrit continue like that he will soon kill the goose that lay the golden egg.
Ronald Charles
That’s the frightening thing about what is happening in this country. Perception becomes fact. Allegation becomes crime. People’s reputations go down the drain beyond recovery. The choir joins in the chorus and curse you for not joining too.
One thing I’ve seen is that you never know how it feels until it comes home. I heard of how distressed a family member of one of our illustrious doctors was when Dominicans gave the doctor a heart attack; had her at death’s door waiting to be flown out by air ambulance; had her family as having lost all hope for her recovery; had her in that condition because of pressure from the government.
Here is the lady at her office now, looking the best she has ever looked. I hope the rumour mongers are not too disappointed that she didn’t die to validate the rumours.
Ronald should I believe the money rumours about you too?
The gov’t should answer officially, although we can see where the money is but what…
Lady, do you live in Dominica? Do you have to use our hospital? Do you drive on our roads? Can you afford to send your children to school, many of us can’t. Are you sure of your bills getting paid this month, many of us are not sure. We are fighting for our right to survive. Let us be! Let us Be! Laissez nous!
Wicked labourites, did really ask the question
“Can you afford to send your children to school”?
What is the expense of sending your children to school, in Dominica? Why would the Prime Minister announce that College is free; if you have to pay for yours to attend school?
I think that most of you people have nothing to complain about, so you all are simply making up stories, with no kind of substance, to post here.
But what else can be expected from you all, when you guys have a leader who does the same thing–good heavens!
Since you and Skerrit so close, ask him how many single and married mothers visit him at the Red clinic for money to send their children to school. Or better yet, when there is red clinic, go and ask the mothers yourself.
Your reasoning sucks. You all make no sense. After the PM for missing parrots for passport pretty soon you all will ask him for Ebstein. When the next wraf comes don’t call on PM to help you all. Now nailing him on the cross with no proof.
Sir. How do you expect all that and will not give PM a chance. Look back how far and improved Dominica has become. Magwasah…you all are very ungrateful.
We can see where the money is… Are you referring to the 3 hospitals and the 6 health centres your boyfriend told PWC about?? Saunders, I ask you now: which 3 hospitals and which 6 health centres is your BF referring to where he allegedly invested over 500 million dollar of CBI money in??? Is he perhaps referring to the unfinished PMH he always let us believe it was financed by China? Or is he perhaps referring to the ruin in Marigot that was to be rebuilt and funded by the state of Mexico?? Tell us, perhaps you can shed some light in your BF statements. Shall I tell you something, you are supporting a blatant and shameless liar. If you have noticed by now you will never notice. It’s so obvious for even a blind person to see! YOUR PM IS A CONMAN!!!
Randy X
Then we are really in trouble! We are being asked then to change one conman for another?
I asked you a very simple question: point out the 3 hospitals and 6 health centres. But you can’t do that instead you trying a little bit of spin. Again, your PM is a conman and you are not any better for supporting him!!
This 1.2 billion is just for one year. When an account of all the other years are done I am sure it will be BILLIONS with an S that will be missing.
And not only Ministers will be held accountable.
GARSON! 10 BACK TO BACK life sentences will not be enough for these fellas.
These fellas lining their pockets on our money while the rest of Dominica suffering.
I just waiting patiently, your time coming just now.
I am very concerned by mr Charles as an attorney at law.i think he allow himself to be mislead by some way less accomplished than himself and I think he knows that’s this protest is unwarranted.he should knw better and advise his people that mr linton is the chairman of the public accounts committee and there is a procedure in place for obtaining the information he so desires.on one had the opposition call for the transparency and wants the government to respect the constitution does not feel this time about that he should form the public accounts committee and use the office to request the information from the Fs.but she is not employed by the uwp to send her a letter and worst demanding that it be done by a certain date. What hypocrisy or is it just simply being malicious purposely misleading the public
You are concerned about Mr. Charles? Don’t be, you really shouldn’t be. But you know what, I’m concerned about you, in particular about your mental well-being… You know what, you guys are finished and you are clutching on straws now. The lies have finally caught up with your master.
“but she is not employed by the uwp to send her a letter and worst demanding that it be done by a certain date”
@concerned you called that kind of command hypocrite, but there is nothing hypocritical about it. It is a “very rude” request or command coming from Lennox; it seems as if he takes pleasure in doing that.
Perhaps he does not know that these kinds of utterances only comes from people who have no social etiquette. How can he tell the FS that she must respond to him by such and such a date?
Well, I never!
Bad people get elected when good people don’t vote. Bad governments continue with their corrupt practices when the rest of the country remains silent. Nothing corrupt politicians love more than the apathy of it’s people. The entire populace should not relent on the question of the missing billion. The government can easily bring this question to an immediate halt by providing the country with clear and unambiguous accounting. No Voodoo Mathematics. Whatever happens in darkness must come to light. Push on brave warrior, don’t relent one bit. It’s the people’s money. We have the right to know. This is public business. Mr. Skerrit, where de money gone?
WANTED: The Missing ONE BILLION DOLLARS ($ 1 000 000 000).
Such clown! This is a vicious fabricated ploy in an attempt to sway the many supporters of DLP. You see, we know the UWP is desperate to lead, and because their inaction after Maria has proven them incapable, they have embarked on a journey without a destination. We have eyes to see, and so we shall not be distracted. We will reject the UWP once more. DLP, for the continued transformation of Dominica!
It’s amazing how blinded man can be when they lose their souls worshipping other men. Is Skerrit your God? That no wrong can be done by him? Even if you are not good at math, just use a calculator and stop being ignorant of the truth! Brain washed…
Wicked hypocrite. Do you have a conscience?
Continued transformation? Where is ? Dominica’s Record Under Skerrit’s Failed Leadership:
* Worst Economy
* Lowest Wages
* Last in Tourist Arrivals
* Worst Infrastructural Development
* Greatest Lack of Sporting, Entertainment & Recreational Facilities
I could continue ad nauseum. You all are notorious, diseased LIARS!
Dominicans. It is our democratic right, every woman, man, boy and girl to peacefully protest to show our dissatisfaction with the governance of our country’s assets. The more people protesting the louder the message gets.
That’s a good way to start. Skerrit where is the money? Where our money be? You can jump high and jump low but we are not going to stop until you tell us where our money is. You can run on kairie to lie and bring in your foreign friends to produce a report for you but this thing will NOT stop until you tell us where our money be. By the way I am happy you brought in foreigners to produce a report for you because if you don’t tell us where the money is we will have no choice but to go on CBS 60 minutes, to see if they could help us unearth where our money be. We need it man. Sorry Sam because we will be asking questions and if you don’t want us to ask, you might as well tell Skerrit to tell us because we will go to the end of the eath seeking answers.
Learn to spell first Shakespare what fail you and cast you as one of the thrives.
What is ‘thrives’? People living in a glass house should not throw stones. You clearly did visit the Roosevelt Skerrit School of Economics and general BS.
This guy is as usual another UWP waste of time.DR.SKERRIT has said repeated NO MONEY IS MISSING.UWP is saying MONEY IS MISSING Ronald Charles is a LAWYER he know very well the BURDEN OF PROOF is on the PROSECUTION Charles MUST SHOW AND PROVE,money is missing.SKERRIT does not have to show money is missing.Charles want to be JUDGE,JURY and EXECUTIONER.
Lin, stop being that clown that you are and stop being in denial and protecting Skerrit as this failure political immature clown. Stay focus on our Domininca and the shame and incompetence brought upon it by this failed Skerrit of yours. For 19 years has been in power and you expect us to put this little babyish hypocritical clown back into office to continue his failures in killing our weak economy and states resources more into the doldrums?. Wake up you Skerrit blind followers, fake loyalists. Skerrit has failed us and he must Go. Just Go away, Get Lost, go away, go mind your Funky Business and leave us alone, just leave us alone.
We welcome, decent Hon Lennox Linton and his highly trusted, professional, decent UWP Team. That Skerrit cannot match and he will never. The UWP government will be our great leader and servant that we are prepared in partnership to play our role to return our Dominica to that level of decency and honour t take care of ALL Dominicans and all of Dominica.
No …, the burden of proof is with the finance minister to show us the CBI accounts. If the finance minister refuses, the burden of proof is on your PM to show us these audited accounts. Oops sorry, both of them are the same person… If you only cared one ounce about your country you would ask your master to perform his duties to the citizens for once in his life. Your master was elected to serve our country not the other way round!
I stand with Ronald on this. It can’t be that Skerrit is playing the ‘silent game’ about this issue as he normally does. We want to know where our money is gone. We want to see the CBI accounts and also the PetroCaribe accounts. We can’t allow anybody to wrongly account on state assets, least of all the PM or Finance Minister.
If the PM thinks that the math calculation for the missing funds is wrong, or if he thinks that he is being accused wrongly, then he should address the nation with his evidence to refute the allegations against him. The mere fact that he has not done so, is evident that he is unable to account for the missing funds.
Exactly right! Right now he is delaying things to find another big fat lie to appease and fool us again. The truth is he knows where the money is but for obvious reasons he can’t tell us because he might as well sign his death warrant.
This is it?
This is only the beginning. Others will stand up.
You put any money there?
Then go look for it where you put it. It still there.
I got the news late yesterday. I shall certainly join soon!!!
Where is the money?
