After nearly four years in court, the battle questioning the legitimacy of Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit and his Education Minister, Petter Saint Jean as elected members of parliament, has ended.
On Monday the Easter Caribbean Supreme Court (ECSC) ruled that the United Workers Party had “failed to prove its case” against Skerrit and Saint Jean.
In his decision, Acting Justice of Appeal, Don Mitchell, explained that “The burden was on the appellants to have brought the necessary evidence before the court to prove that under the law of France, the respondents being in possession of French passports was an act which amounted to an acknowledgment of allegiance, obedience or adherence to the state of France. It was necessary to plead and produce evidence which would prove the principles of foreign law which would disqualify the respondents under section 32 (1) (a) of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Dominica.”
Petitioners, he said, making specific allegations in their petitions about the existence of a disqualification “must bring the appropriate evidence to prove their allegations.”
According to the judge, the pleadings before the trial judge were confined to narrow issues of fact. “Mr. Green alleged that Mr. Saint Jean had been issued a French passport between 2000 and 2002. There was no pleading that Mr. Saint Jean had applied in person for, renewed or travelled on a French passport. The judge rejected the evidence of the witnesses who claimed that Mr. Saint Jean had shown them his alleged French passport,” he stated.
He went on to state further, that “there was no attempt to produce evidence he had been issued a passport between 2000 and 2002 as alleged. On that basis, the petition should have been dismissed. The allegation against Mr. Skerrit was that he had admitted that he was the holder of a French passport. Mr. Joseph conceded at the trial that this pleaded admission was false. The petition should have been dismissed on that basis alone.”
“I would dismiss both appeals and the counter appeal. For the reason given by the learned trial judge in her judgment, viz the great national importance of the matter, I would not make any order as to costs of the appeal. The order is that the appeal and the counter appeal are both dismissed with no order as to costs,” Mitchell said.
Two members of the opposition United Workers Party (UWP) had gone to the courts attempting to disqualify Skerrit and Saint Jean as Members of Parliament (MP) on the grounds that they had breached an electoral code since they reportedly held French citizenship on Nomination Day, ahead of the December 18, 2009 general election.
The matter was first heard in the High Court in Dominica but Judge Gertal Thom, had ruled in favor of Skerrit and Saint Jean rejecting the petitions by the UWP members, Maynard Joseph and Ron Green.
The decision was handed down by Her Lordship the Honourable, Janice Pereira.
Meanwhile lead attorney for St. Jean and Skeritt in the matter, Tony Astaphan, said the prime minister has been vindicated for his ‘no law, no constitution’ speech, which has been widely quoted by critics.
“This raises once again, the comment by me, that when the prime minister said that there is no constitutional law that could prevent him to be nominated, he has been absolutely vindicated in that respect because not only there was no law preventing him from being nominated nor could he be challenged from being nominated,” he told Kairi’s Heng Program on Monday after the ruling was made public. “The fact is that there was no facts to justify anyone challenging his nomination and election at all.”
He described the entire matter as ‘nonsense.’ “This nonsense has now ended and it is now behind us, we now have to move forward with this country to continue the great work that Roosevelt Skerrit and his government has been doing,” he noted.
Astaphan also pointed out he respects the decision of the court and would have respected it if it had not gone their way.
PEOPLE all you HI on DRUGS
Hello my people and good afternoon. Well I cant believed how so many of our people are so naive about court procedures. This case ruling is correct because there wasn’t any evidence provided which would resulted in a reversal. The Court in Dominica ruled that the Prime Minister and Mr Saint Jean didn’t have to turn over their passports rather it was the UWP that had to prove they had such passport. The only way that was left for UWP it was for them to Subpoena the records/Passport applications from France Immigration Department but they failed to do so therefore this case should have been over . We must remember that hearsay isn’t evidence and a defendant don’t have to give evidence against themselves.
If this is Tony Astaphan u JA, why> wasn’t it you who said it could go either way. Wasn;t it you who said you would live with what ever decision? Tony you should be debared for inconsistencies in logic.
1.the letters to st. lucia
2.the judge refused to accept the passports – then said there was no evidence in the absence of the same passports she did not want to see.
3. its about the passports NOT APPLICATION FORMS
the court NEVER even attampted to get to the truth
the PM was treated with deference by the court any other accused would have lost on the basis of fact and truth.
It’s sad when ppl have to resort to taking shots at my community of Massacre for simply expressing their joy/support of the results. Aren’t the opposition expressing their dissatisfaction/bitterness? As per the other posts, the community of Massacre has always voted RED. Not once have Brian Allyne, Julian Prevost or no other candidate get more votes than a Labor candidate in Massacre itself. Even Roy Shillingford beat those guys. Leave us celebrate
I guess it signaled an alert ONLY BECAUSE VICTORY BEGAN BEFORE THE VERDICT WAS HEARD
Lol! Lighten up, Del and the others you guys are just mad because you’ll be kissing up to the big red shoe for a really long time. So pucker up! I know I’m no prophet, but this petition results proves that God is real and he works in mysterious ways. Another nail in UWPS’ coffin. This is going down in DA’s history books as another victory of PM Skerrit and the DLP, and if Dominica was a communist country, the opposition would have no say at all we would render them moo-moo. So sucke it up and move on!
Your name is ironic
Yes God is real,and he shall one day judge rightly.
UWP, WHAT NEXT?
What exactly is the JAM in Lagon for? Skerrit admitted he had French Citizenship. I personally felt UWP was fighting a loosing battle once the court deciced the Passports were necessary, and of course they couldn’t expect the men to present their passports and incriminate themselves further. However by their very utterances that they can’t provide the passports, because it would self incriminate them, no one needs anymore proof. Since they gave up those rights, and clearly would have won if a bye-election were to be called UWP wasted their time further. Forcing them to give it up was victory enough. Dominicans need to understand that this is about the Constituion, everywhere else people stand on the Constitution for their defense, in Dominica we prance on it.
So much for GOd fearing and christian nation. Give them rum, after the population will increase, they will fight amongst themselves, the politicians will blab, and tommorow they still ignorant.
Solid Waste Management
U w p has no hope they could defead Skerit,I guess they thought the only chance they had.they wouldnt have wasted all these money,U WP need to address new ideas to convince the Dominican voters they could do a better job then the current government..
It would appear that Skerrit is the most perfect righteous human being on the planet. No matter what he is accused of, he gets away free and clear with not so much as a speck of mud on his $5000 suits.
But we know that is not possible that a mere man is perfect. Only God is perfect. So Labourites seem to have accepted that Skerrit is corrupt but don’t care. As long as Skerrit continues his red clinic and giving us concrete to eat and flashing those dimples, Labourites will turn a blind eye.
Not to say UWP supporters would be any different if tables turned as they too turned a blind eye.
Dominicans planning on entering the arena need to understand this. Dominicans don’t care about theiving, criminal politics. New blood. The blood of this country’s future, will have to find some angle other than corruption to get Skerrit and other potentially corrupt politicians, out of office and a passionate leadership in.
It is not illegal to sleep with your neighbour’s wife, even if there is proof. Whether it is moral I leave to the Almighty to decide and rest my case in the court of mortals.
my partner malgrasa whose wife Jaime was sleeping with when he got the heart attack?
dominican dont even have a choice now.most of them start building and waiting for skerrit to finish it ,some expect skerrit to start for them.i my self will not bite the hand that feed me.no way
you know what….thinking about it ,to have a foreign passport you must denounce your country.but thats to become naturalize.but if your parent are citizens it not wrong to have one.you cannot have british and american passport but you can have dominica and british or in that case french and dominica,starts to make sence to me.dominica have too much roro.
Alexander Solkanhien are you for real? This is Dominica, NOT Dormes in Can. Congrats bro
When the rain fall is does not fall on one man housetop. Yes I Dominican are so gullible. Why are you all celebrating???? Ah magwasah! My grandfather has a saying “Pli ta plis” “later will be worse” Yes you all can call Mr. James, the patriots, Lennox et all names… time will tell. One day kanga day!! You can work all the voodoo you want good always conquers evil…. pray warriors continue to pray. God will deliver us soon. Evil doer.
Ita a known fact that the criminal justice system in its dispensation of what is considered to be justice has always freed criminals who commit crimes in broad day light with all the evidence before it
Well you all uwp can call us who support the PM monkey,but we will never support a donkey to rule a nation of lions again,it happen in 1995-2000 it not happening again.
this is just the beging of no law no con no crine on steal only time will tel,o o just y u think the bible said it is easer for a big big cameal to pass throught eye of a neddle than a reach man to enter haven under the word c for yourself
Congratulation to PM & St. Jean. This is over I hope everybody will move on with their lives try to work together for the betterment of the country.
Nothing is settled (over) untill it is settled right. This is a serious miscarriage of justice, and a cop out by the justices, by concluding at the appeal level that there was insufficient evidence. This is one of the most ludicris decisions ever made by any court in the region.
For persons to now accuse those of us who choose not to have our intelligence insulted , as not loving country, is to not understand the gravity of the situation.
The constitution is the pillar that supports the country we call DOMINICA. It is the bedrock of the society, when we can allow such flagrant violation and disdain for the constitution, we signal the end of the rule of law, and welcome in frontier justice. This is indeed a sad time for Dominica, and I take offense at anyone who will challenge my love for Dominica, because I challenge the misguided decision of a court that is comprised of people who do not respect the santity of the Constitution of Dominica. Is this a harbinger of what is to come under the CCJ? Please Sir Dennis tel us it is not so.
you wrote
” ……..try to work together for the betterment of the country.”
I ask “why?” does it make sense any more??
amen to that
Ok time to move on. Election is around the corner. UWP has spent all this time and money in trying to remove Skerrit. Not saying they wrong or right, but wondering how much energy and resource they use on preparing for the next election. If none, then it will be another defeat. Seriously, someone needs to talk to those fellas. It looks like they just waiting for an opportunity to sit in the big seat without actually working for it.
@ Castle Bruce Thy want to sit in it in the same way you are begging and nort working. Go find something to do. Sot! Not too many in Castle Bruce. Shame ON YOU.
My God – its the principle…..certainly there must be some morality in fighting justice. What did Martin Luther King die for? He was told give it up, what happened to Rosa Parks, they suffered and we have some level, or acheieved some level of decency as human beings. Why must we have our politiciians lying to us day in day out. Look an MP and his wife in London sent to prison for 8 months for cheating and lying but in Dominica and Caribean we celebrate the lies and cheat of our politicians and they will sonn have a big celebrate that they have cheated the system and then we send our youths of to jail. We are not yet a mature people, we hide things under the carpet and we support and promote corrupt leaders. The talk now is we need proper, good and accounatble governance in Dominica.
O fellow Dominicans, I am very, very, very sorry for my sins. I know I deserve to be stoned for voting DLP in 2000 and repeated my sin in 2005. Please forgive me because I did not think I would use my hands to hurt my country. The bad thing about my sin is, I don’t live in DA to feel the pain of others but when I do visit, though during creole festival, I feel the effects of my sin as many of my people who were at one time earning a living now have to beg me for sugar because the red clinic not helping. PLEASE FORGIVE ME MY PEOPLE! NEVER WILL I SIN AGAIN
for your sins are many because you have for sake your country some one paid your passage to come to reap of the red clinic which was already empty by people like the blues that is still blue vext don,t put on my p.M
You are again committing another sin….and this one is even worst…think about it
Clung reveal yourself, and don’t forget that your real sin will fine you out.It’s amazing how so many like you tell lies for nothing.
Act of Contrition you are no Labourite, youre a wolf in sheep clothing coming on here pretending to be a labourite youre a looserite.
Stop your idle talk. Things are bad around the world. At least Dominicans do not have to beg for food. Why is it that foreigners always praise that beautiful country whilst we DOMINICANS always talk S-S-O-O negative about our own country.I hope you are eating from a silver platter where ever you are.
Blasphemy! You have worst sins than that. In fact it is not a sin to vote for a Party whom you thought was the right one. Use your head and cease writing nonsense.
Still to be rational and fair …….. we shouldn’t expect a judge to fire his boss.
Can’t bite the hand that signs the salary cheque already he will want the acting position confirmed.
Those type of judges rarely posess testicular fortitude (no balls)….. not called to the cut and thrust of courtroom practice.. ..
so right now anything goes and JUSTICE BE DAMNED . . . CCJ is a cruel hoax slavery was more honestits perpetrators did not hide behind false pretences.
Man,I admit I may be wrong, but I will still maintain that UWP’s case was against the Electoral Commission and not Skerrit and St. Jean eh.
It is the EC’s responsibility to ensure that all candidates are on the up and up. If they failed in their duty to properly investigate and certify election candidates then the onus is on them.
I am quite certain that the EC acting in its official legal capacity as the guardian of the national electoral process of a sovereign country could have appealed to France and get all documents and information pertaining to this matter.
But then again, I am not a learned lawyer….
Hello I agree with you. Why our people cannot understand what happened when the court said they didn’t have to produce the passport. They should have subpoena the files at the France Immigration where the truth lies within their Passport applications.
It is said that the law is an ass . . . that judge beat the law six ways to sunday….
so why were they writing to revoke citizenship that they never had???
Mr Ron Green after dat i guess its the great depresion, you need to retire and go plant your bananas in Laplaine or the UWP should retire you, take the chill pill bro..
one day all these nonsense will come to an end ,the man above alone can judge the case and not those little boys who call themselves lawyers
I will take a bullet for my pm.
ME TO
No you wouldn’t, when push comes to shove words are cheap and you would run and hide. We can all sit at the keyboard and chat shite and spout off without having to prove zip.
And what is your point. I would take a bullet for my PM too.
@ I Love My PM Not you alone. There are many lazy,Red clinic smoked brain fools who i guess are like you.Obviously your head is a empty space of waste, you understanding is zero rated and your ignorance is beyond compare. Once he can give you a little hand out and you can pick up the crumbs you will do it. He must be laughing at your crass ignorance, and must be asking himself “How comes an incompetetnt, arrogant and lawless leader like me can still have so many monkeys adoring me?” OH my!
You should have written “I LOve My PM More Than Myself”… I heard an Iraqi vocalise that during the reign of terror of Sadam.
Tut , tut. And what great contributions have YOU made towards the betterment of this country?
No handout for me I working hard for my money but I love my pm so if u vex burst
WELL SAID!
why are you all always quick to run your mouths about red clinic. if it did not exist then you would find something else to say… do you have a grandmother who is in desperate need of a life threatening surgery? do you have a child who is disabled and who may also need surgery or medical attention? PLEASE FOR GOD SAKE SHUT UP! I do not have that child or a grandmother in that situation but someone else does. If you think people who support the PM are the (hungry, jobless, lazy and what ever else you call them) then you are missing a screw. Then you should be happy that ONLY WORKER are employed WITHOUT BEING VICTIMIZED, there bellies are FILLED and oh not to forget THEY ARE FREE FROM SICKNESS………STUPID PEOPLE…… It is strange how you workers find so much time on your hands to come on DNO and put negative comment after negative comments….. what is yall goal?
would you take it for jesus?
@ the truth These are the ones that call Skerrit “God”.
OH! boy that was the best comment, ever thank you so very much you make my day.
Sot you sot condi de pastor….. you will go to hell for him too. Only time will tell
Wow! I wonder if you would take a bullet for your children.
GO AHEAD!STUPID!
boi i wonder wat workers party going to take to court next mabe them selfs for failing the party poeple
@ dirty harry. Your comment is indeed very dirty. Hope you are not.According to Skerrit It’s not none of your dam business what they take to court. Go to Hell Go to Hell Go to Hell.
Once its matters to do witrh the constitution it should go to court. If you don’t like that , Go and lock yourself in a toilet.
Typical UPites – Rude, insultive, unloving and now angry. Stop and let us build the country and when election time come then we go campaign.
dirty harry you are uneducated.like most of you reds.
the u.w.p didnt loose.skerrit was just given more right to do whatever he has and want to do.time alone will tell.oh and tell him hurry up my sister waiting for the land and house he promise her ,although his close friend telling her to be carefull
Typical UPites – Rude, insultive, unloving and now angry. Stop and let us build the country and when election time come then we go campaign.
Selfish too as you want the house for your sister you want. You still want your sister to get the land and house.
Time to open all you eyes and start loving one another.
The man sin only is the masses of you who wants him out is jealous that the young man from Vieille Case is a PM.
Typical jealous and envy syndrome. I will see you when your son becomes the PM. I will definitely live to see this and to hear you speak when those who you supported (not liking and hating one of their own turn the table on you and it will be your son at the end of the stick)
Waiting to see your reaction then
RON,is this the end?
Honest men don’t give up like that. Go and beg at the Red Clinic. Your Makak!
I have no time for a MAKAK like you.
Typical disrespectful Upites. With no love and very insultive. Not anything and anybody that is respected by these people.
Honestonest men? You know Ron ran for several election while holding dual citizenship right?
Omg uwp doe tired of losing lol alas I knew skerro would have won from day 1. Only the blind bats who listen to q95 who didn’t know that
blindbats wow i wonder what scent they following a fresh head ?
sweet carib….dont forget it was you who disclosed to the british where we were hiding and see where they dumped you.what did you do to the arawaks.heard you ate them with the priest.
I always knew the case would vindicate the PM. The case was always spurious based on the facts. The PM knew that he was within the law so he was able to state that no law could prevent him from being PM as he was within the constitution of the Law. The opposition have very bad advisors. They need to evaluate how they are spending their money. They need to concentrate on building their party support base. concentrate on understanding demorcracy and law, they need to start looking like a viable alternative,instead of a set of sour losers.
The opposition really eed to drop all the court cases and start concentrating on changing the image of their party as really being about a better Dominica rather than being about let us hate Skerrit.
Amen to that,
Ron we still waiting for the BY-ELECTION you tell us about.Is not first time you come lying to us in La Plaine.We fedup with that now.
Garbage talk totally… This dual citizenship matter will never die in Dominica. Too many things are being done the wrong way in this failed country,by people who obviously should know better..
This is the strangest decision i have come across. The judge referred to the fact that you had to intepret french law. What about Dominica laws, does it matter? Isn’t the case based on Dominica’s law which refers to dual citizenship? very very strange.
man give up already
Newton, the question they ask is whether having a French Passport is under french laws an indication that you are in fact showing allegiance to France….
And even more importantly, French Law prohibits continuation of citizenship privileges when one becomes a public officer or head of a foreign state. Thus the interpretation of French law as pertains to what appears to be a strictly unilateral condition had to be investigated by the Court.
Joe tell newton again.
The court has ruled, so what is your beef.
newton where did you see what you saying dere?????
Does this case set a precedence for persons wishing to run for political office? The verdict in this case was that the plaintiffs were not able to provide proof. I am sure if the judge had requested that the passports be presented as evidence, we would all see that the defendants indeed had dual citizenship.But how could they prove when the document that holds all the evidence -the passports-were omitted from the court? Right now there is nothing that can prevent someone with dual citizenship from running for office. All they need to to is to ensure that their passport do not appear in the public domain. As a matter of fact this case clearly showed that no one can force you to produce your passport to verify your citizenship status, so everyone can use that as a defense against self incrimination.
Hmmm,
i know a D/ca woman living in st.maarten,has all three passports,Dom,dutch and french,she married to a dutch man,use to live on the french side with her Gr.Aunt,who helped her to get the french passp,and automatic,she got the dutch from her husband,
hope she dont run for politic in D/ca,cause those fellas will get a hart attack,lol
it is a shame to read all those comments,which support party politics and not dominica.i come home every year to spend time with my family and every year the country is getting worst.dominicans are like crabs in a barrel,think they know everything but really and truly know nothing.i really wish that they would travel to see the outside world to open their minds .
Well stay away
hmmmmmm strange open mind! and you talking bad about your country? Even want to call your fellow men crab in a barrel. What is wrong with you people .. no love just hatred in your heart. Let us wait for election nah!
Had you have an open mind, you would not have said what you just said. I think the shame is on you, someone who claim that they have traveled, and remember that leaving overseas doesn’t make one wiser.
Sorry to said this, but after returning to the island after 20 years, it’s still painful to me that peoples in the country would cause party politics to divide them as a nation,
Honestly your comment is so on target, and sadly true.
They don’t see themselves as one unit, but fragmented factions, working to gain the favor from those they put in power,
Funny enough, whether the person has leadership qualities or not, or is the best for the country, they don’t care, the person could be out of state, and careless about the well-being of the constituency, they will still support them, biting the very hands that’s feeding them.
They tend to forget that resources don’t come overnight, and our topography is really difficult and very challenging to work around, still taking into account our nature island status. Generating revenues back then was easier because the smaller country were with economy like our were favored and protected but we now living in a global village where everybody has to fend for their own food and individual entrepreneurship is the way to go, but alas this is one of those key ingredient that is lacking in this country, they are still waiting on government to even clean in front their door.
Everything is for a time. Did Chavez lived forever – nope. And so one day Skerrit reign will end – Someway some how………. Lets hope soon…..
Sore loser.
Is only now you seeing that? Why you could not advise your party that the PM win 18-3 so let’s waite for next election instead of destroying Dominica.
None ofus shall live for ever. But when your son or daughter becomes the PM as we are all getting older and it is our children who will be running things. I want to see how you will feel when you have persons like you feeling the same way about your child who has become PM or in a position????
he is not God so his reign must come to an end but guess what?yours too must come to an end and so is mine….
Chavez did not live forever but you will! Good for you but people who want to make jest of sick and dead people usually suffer in the end, hope this does not happen to you. Remember sickness and death is not for bad people only.Chavez in better off than you, he is gone.
How can I get out of this place? Someone call AA for me before the flying stop…..
Dominica is soo to be another venezula……
i see the apple dont fall far from the tree….. Skerrit did as Chavez taught him….
dear UWP / DFP
I am not a political operative just an objective observer. The opposition must listen to Daryl Bobb and go back to the drawing board. A comatosed DFP is playing hard ball and want to do things on their own. Is it that FREEDOM is still more vex with WORKERS for removing them from office in 1995, than they are with LABOUR for helping them beat UWP in 1999? Even with a united opposition its going to be very difficult to stop this administration. Our Political culture is such in Dominica that when you are in power with a huge mandate then its hard to get you out of power. Workers won by 11-10 in 1995 ; this was too slim a victory to sustain power and in one single solitary month ROSIE came down and the rest is History. What were the people saying ? ” I was always labour we ” ” my mother my grand father allmy aunties all my family longtime ago was labour we ” I going back to my roots ” That’s the reality that we have to face. There was no ideological rooting for the UWP and hence it just fizzled out.
There is the view that a new political party is needed. I think that this will not work. A fragmented Partisn electorate will only favour Labour. The main UWP must regroup..too many people talking on its behalf. I think that people get lost over listening to them. They need a sense of direction and some believe that the leader of the opposition is classically weak and doesn’t seem to have the support of the mainstream supporters. Many believe that L L will be better suited to not only lead the UWP but also become the leader of the opposition. However this is an elected office so he has to run and win either in Marigot or even attempt political suicide lets say in Newtown.
Realistically I don’t know how much more WAKE UP CALLS UWP needs. They continue to be delusional and continue to believe in their own impropaganda ! Theyre too easily distracted whether it is through calypso, and d king puppet writer, talk show hosts etc its the same nonsense over and over again. Oh what about the well acclaimed unjust enrichments I guess radio fund mania will be on soon. WAW I WANT TO SEE an independent audited financial statement on all those monies that are being raised in the name of ” democracy ” and transparency. Bye the way they the UWP wasn’t called upon to pay costs for that appeal they loss.
Am not surprised at the final outcome at all. The people shall have an opportunity to read it in toto at some later stage when its published on the courts website etc. Well we expect all the test tube Chief Justices of talk show politics to continue to vilify the courts. The justice system is so bad yet they seek redress through it….waw that’s new Mathematics. I guess people must be convicted on circumstantial evidence and the same must be done on inference…come on we have to be a wiser people than that. The substantial majority of independent observers are of the view that justice was seen to be done. The Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court continues to be one of the ,most respected courts in the Commonwealth Caribbean . It consists of some of the brightest legal luminaries in the region. These men and women go about their task with honesty , independence and professionalism. They do so without fear or favour but with knowledge , wisdom and understanding, humility and great conscience . They do so fairly.
I think that the opposition elements must convene a special gathering to discuss joint approaches with the desire to unseat the ruling DLp. They need to restructure, get new personel, get serious funding, mobilise support on the ground, set up opposition party branches and put an alternative plan for Dominica’s development . They must also put an intelligentsia mechanism in place to collate the necessary evidence so if and when the possibility arises to take the government to court for any alleged breaches of the constitution or any law then they will be more likely to be successful.
Most Truly Yours
ROSEAU VALLEY
Good advise. But the DFP is playing a destructive role whether they are conscious or not. They should now realize that they did it once and should “eat their vomit” and do it twice for the “GOOD OF COUNTRY”
am so happy for my pm tell the workers party to take that
Congratulations to PM Skerritt and Saint Jean!!! The battle is over; now it is time to do the people’s work. Losers are usually bitter when they are not victorious during election; what they fail to realize, only one party can win. Accept defeat graciously and concentrate on the next election.
Concerned Dominican – STX
Congratulations my foot. Where ever you are you eating well. Have you been to DA lately? Stupes…
There are some passionate people, pro and con on this Website. Everyone has an opinion and is entitled to it as human beings. However, not everyone is correct as much as the opponents think they are. It is only your opinion.
Some of us have noted the urge of the opposition to depose the PM. They have tried but not succeeded. We can say, some, reasons to smile and others, to be sad.
I offer my congratulations to the PM and the other ministers who have been vindicated. May you continue to peacefully serve Dominica and your constituency. God bless you!
vindicated of what? we all know they had passports. vindicated because they were afraid to tell the truth?
To rejoice on a case that holds such political significance is pure ignorance. The true losers here are the people of Dominica who expects our elected officials to adhere to the constitution and the rule of law. This victory sets a bad precedence signaling that it is acceptable to violate the constitution without any repercussion.
I thought that when an appeal is heard what the judges are looking for is for judicial errors or wrong interpretation of the law. I didn’t know that at an appeal the judges are looking at evidence. I wonder how the pastor sleeps at night, when every day he goes to work, he knows that he has betrayed our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
Despite the ruling of not enough evidence, the PM and Peter St Jean knows that they are not legitimate. However there is a God above…guess they will deal with it and their conscience.
I wonder if chief justice Lennox Linton judge coipel and judge blessings would have ruled differently when they heard the evidence
This is a civil matter against the state not a criminical matter that requies jail time. Therefore the foriegn passport should have been subpoena by the judge in making his judgment. That is whats happens in other civil cases like divorce and child support, records of finiancials are subpoena by the judge to provide a right judgement for financial support or equitable distribution to the plaintiff.
If your plan for a better way ahead is only to accuse
Then you bound to lose…. bound to lose
If biased opposition is the only approach you choose
Then you bound to lose…. bound to lose
When you are offered and an olive branch, you blatantly refuse
Then you bound to lose…. bound to lose
If you take pleasure in causing chaos with twisted, partial news
Then you bound to lose…. bound to lose
So don’t wallow in your sorrow
Wake up and face the truth
Blaze a trail into tomorrow
For the confused and restless youth
You claim to be a leader
So it’s time you start to lead
We wish to march on further
And never to recede
Your attacks might be sharp enough to inflict a bump and bruise
But you bound to lose…. bound to lose
You disrespect people’s decisions; ridicule their point of views
So you bound to lose…. bound to lose
Remember your fiery lawyer today is a fugitive and recluse
So you bound to lose…. bound to lose
You continue to underestimate the mighty power of the shoes
So you bound to lose…. bound to lose
All these guys has dual citizenship, all of them…. just wasting time and tax payers money taking people to court
Dominica is a lawless society. A completely lawless society full for hypocrites, who walk with a bible on sunday. So many people get killed in Dominica and because of who they are no justice, look at mano case 42 criminal charges and the man still practicing law, look at the nurse whose son was killed for carnival. Drug dealers getting away, a man writes to France to renounce his citizenship and his supporters rejoicing layba, layba, let us see how far Dominica will go in the next 15 years, cause the rule of law is very important for development, more important than roads or stadium. No society can prosper without the proper function of the rule of law just ask Frederick Bastiat,
Well! Well! here we go again! The Devil’s at work in Dominica once more! People, let’s keep things simple! In all my life, I see politics, as mostly distructive, whether you’re on the existing Party’s side, or the Opposition. Why not hug one another, and give thanks, that the Country has gotten another opportunity to move on for Progress. Why not focuss on the fact that there is an institution in Place like the ECSC, that is existing to mediate, and decide our justice/injustice for our People. Well, some of you might discard my opinion as B.S, but my blood pressure is very normal typing this post! People of Dominica, it doesn’t matter, who is in Power, there will be Division. In my opinion, I can say one thing, in all my Life, it’s the first time, I have seen so many Developmental Projects in D.A, by an Elected Party! I can related because, I have international Education and Experience. My heart is for positive Growth for the Island. So I say, build that 40 million $ hospital quick! and Let’s get a quick Solution for the Airport, to enable the best customer service ever for our outgoing/incoming travellers. I see a Stadium, that encourages not only Entertainment but, Youth Development in Sports, I see better Road Contruction, ease of travelling, I see security (U.S Aid), reducing illegal nacotics in our Island, I see University Contruction, increasing Education opportunity for our children, I see, State accommodations so we can present our hospitality to International visitors etc etc etc! I want to see more positive Development for our Island, because when our current People are gone, and our Children are left, Hence, The American Indian prayer,
I give you this one thought to keep –
I am with you still – I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the sweet uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft starts that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone –
I am with you still in each new dawn.
@ the end of the day what’s done is done you cannot change the pass but the future is already set to bad Dominica isn’t gonna be how I remembered. For those youths that are being born in that island I’m feel sorry for you.farewell Dominica good bye sia nora……I’m out smh
Its only now i am seeing all those hypcrite labourites coming out and giving their two turn colors support.
But their time wil end too.
bad decision, and now we know why the Labor administration was so in favour of supporting the ECSC, becuae it is bought and paid for by local Govts like DLP.
Let us go back to the Privy Council. It is a shame that we still cannot Judge ourselves.
The justice system in the Dominica is a Joke…..corruption at the highest level!!!!!
Nô dought that’s why the crime rate is escalating….nô law, nô constitution……..
Mendes cannot be that good if he could not present his case properly. All that was hinged on seeing the passport and mendes failed to make his case. How were these kind of cases presented in other courts. In the other OECS island all these cases were won. When the judge refused to allow the passport in the courts, was there another way to get it. This is the question.
Newton, this case was very simple, if you accuse a person then the onus is on you to prove your case…i.e. the BURDEN OF PROOF is on the ACCUSER not the DEFENDANT!!!!
They had no proof of their allegations period!
Hello. The court in Dominica said the Prime Minister and Mr Saint Jean didn’t have to submit their passport . Then Mr Mendes should have subpoena the passport applications from France Department of immigration then everyone would have learned the truth.
I have an American passport can I run for office I Dominica.
The other cases were won because the use of the passports were displayed as material evidence. When one uses a passport, the passport information is surrendered to the immigration officer; thence it becomes public information. Why did the plaintiffs not obtain any substantial evidence to support the allegations is both beyond belief and a flagrant display of lack of commonsense judgement.
i think the local legal minds on the team here could have done more n building up the case knowing how the courts in the region operate…
relying only on the letter was not enough wait on the courts system in the caribbean, they should have tried to get a date of travel, say from one of the french islands to another destination or get a insider from the french system to give them his renewal or acceptance of the docs…
so honestly the legal team should have gotton more beef on the bone period….
rather than walking around playing big and not worth your salt not knowing your field of work..
maybe another local attorney would have built on the case far better than the one the UWP used locally…he doesn’t get it at all…
Windy Hill, the question of evidence at the appeals level appears to be novel to Dominica. The justices had to determine if the trial judge erred in law, not whether there was sufficient evidence.
They are yet to tell us whether the trial judge was correct in disallowing the respondents to present their passports, and themselves in court. Ad that my friends is the bottom line.
We have judges that do not know their jobs convently, of course.
Can someone tell me why do these guys waste that much time on such stupid matters,when there are much more pressing matters that’s directly affecting the nation.
Why don’t they spend that much time on the bail act,keeping the hard core criminals off the streets of Roseau,or revisiting the criminal laws.
It would do them much good,the nation and the visitors.
Dominicians it’s time to rise up,it dose not take much just a little common sense,the politicians are no defferent from a worker at Astaphans or Nassief.Stop looking at them as the big shots of the nation,they have opt up to serve the country,thus they are the servants of the nation.
The change begins with everynoe of you.
Go for it….
somebody tell me why them JEAN MASSACRE paint the bridge red and trees red and was drinking red cap and celebrating like they stand to benefit. they have no jobs but voting labor since before they born. SOT
They have been voting Brian Alleyne and DFP then UWP….now its Blackmore…u that SOT
Massacre ppl never vote Brian alleyne, far less for workers. Maybe the constituency of Mahaut overall. Not Massacre. We proud layba
That you vex about? Leave us alone. We know why we celebrating. We have the hardest working Parl Rep, we are resourceful, we’ve contributed alot to Dominica’s society: ask about the CFO of the Govt, the former Cuba representative, numerous nurses, teachers, bankers, students, a few notable calypsonians, and don’t forget well known construction workers, clergy men and priests, and don’t forget Sports where we even stronger. The few ppl you see on the roadside do not constitute the entire Massacre population. And if you know your history then you’ll know don’t mess with us
@ Anonymous Half of the plp of position you mention donot give a rat a** about the development of this community. They donot put their talents and resources for the development of the community to empower the youths.These are the plp that should spare head the formation of a community center to get rid of those young plp that sits on the red bridge from six in the morning to twelve in the night
Sot they Sot they all unemployed a bunch of losers
their former representative must have passed there ordered a few gallons of RED cap and tell dem vote support DLP this time aroundEven he contested twice lossed once won once under UWP.
so you see my friends as medard would say is all about the presidents$ obtained from Chavez ghadaffi and now the russians ask him the former DLM turn pal rep Caferteria Communist turn UWP turn DLP.Where nextDFP? lol If they find more money than the Russians somewhere lol
Oh my finger what poverty can do when we get opportunity.
hey comrade. let not your heart be troubled.You have to live under the Big Red Shoe for a long time. Sorry for your disappointment.
Some people celebrate the death of good men – Roosie, Pierro and Chavez. Why not celebrate a victory in a court battle?
nobody in dominica is sucking salt for sugar. u guys putting too much curse on ur own country
Congratulations labourites, You win. Most importantly you need to obey your leaders obediently, what he does without you knowing is not all you damn business, “What yall don’t know won’t hurt you.” If I was ron and the others long time I give up and fly away, no use crying over spilled milk.
It was no surprise just like the same that will happen with the President. What we have to do is to vote them out. They to corrupt.
welll i hope dat any chineese can go up for election now seeing dats it an eeven playing field…wat d hell someone can campaign from there coutry of residence using skype;….DOMINICA WHERE ARE WEE?
Really dude??? Enough already!!! Are you just totally disillusioned???
Do you know that there are chinese born in Dominica? Obama is president of the USA and it’s mainly a white country.
Ron Green what’s good for the goose is good for the gander,you ran for election under the same so called conditions and no one took you to court,why is it wrong now.man you have no shame.oh you might say no one challenge it ,do you know why ? for the smooth running of the country not because labour afraid or any thing like that,they not stupid.
Well said Joy. He has been there for so many years with his American passport now is a problem Peter has a French passport. Mr. Green u should have just accepted ur defeat and come stronger next election
They have nothing to offer the country so they use issues like that to distract people,it’s over now.
what is wrong is wrong and what is right is right.we dont need a haring on the villas no more we already have the verdit.dominica cannot bring skerrit down it will take skerrit and his cabinet to take skerit down.all we have to do is wait
DON’T believe Skerrit yet to be proved as corruptive. There are more in that BUNCH(Cabinet)who are corruptive. Tell me then, and have a think and tell us who do you believe a better job for the benefit and future of the Country. Other Cabinet members or the Opposstion. TELL US
Its a shame they are in so much poverty and. They are they ones begging things are hard in Dominica but they still saying skerro. Shameless bunch
Dominican nationals, those who speak of poverty must also help their country and get others to do likewise. It also includes to do something concrete for themselves which will enhance their lives. The government should not be expected to do everything for those nationals who are specifically irresponsible and who, as abled people do not exercise their obligation to themselves, to others and the nation when they do nothing to help themselves.
You should have heard/read the words of the late President Kennedy, “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” These words of wisdomwill remain with us forever and will always be repeated when necessary until the end of time.
Such nationals must be taught accordingly and also reminded about it.
This is all a technicality loss. That is, the UWP members filed a case on ‘possession of passport’ rather than dual citizenship, because I can’t believe that the letter by Skerrit denouncing his citizenship after nomination was insufficient. That’s the way things are – the ‘justice’ system is not necessarily just or ethical.
Mention was also made pertaining to dual citizenship. Therefore what do you mean otherwise.
It is rather interesting that the appeals court uses the lack of evidence to dismiss the appeal.
I am not a lawyer, the extent of law that I know is business law, but I have a good understanding of Jurisprudence, so when an appeals court talks about evidence, it mystifies me.
My understanding of the appeals process is where the application of law applied or the reasoning, or the interpretation of the law by the trial judge, or whether proper directions were given to the jury, or in this particular instance whether the trial judge was correct in the first place to exclude parts of the evidence, and whether the trial judge was correct in law and procedure to not use the “Inherent Jurisdiction” principle.
Obviously it seems to be that these ECSC justices are all taken up with evidential matters at the appeals level, to the extent that one SC in the case of NBD V Corbette at the privy counsel hearing wanted to ask for minutes of board meeting as evidence. The SC was rightfully laughed out of court.
I do not see this as any vindication. Another observation, is the court affirming the principle of self incrimination in a non-crimminal matter, and affirming that the court does not have inherent jurisdiction?
Skerrit never denied having dual citizenship. He admitted it however said that he obtained it as a child, a fact that was never contested. The UWP was trying to make a case that “technically”, once he renewed his passport as an adult and travelled with it, under French law he was no longer a citizen by his mothers hand, but he now implied his own allegiance to France. Why is it so hard to understand that the burden to prove this must lie with the UWP if they want to make that accusation? Lets move on and deal with real issues, rather than fighting over words and laws that the same men make.
I hope this ruling will confirm to the UWP that they need to stop spending the little money they have on attorneys and justice and try to save in time for the next election. They will never get justice through the legal system because “No law, no constitution” can stop the man. Try to bit him at the polls though he again controls the polls because his pocket is very deep. Oh boy, I am sorry for my mama and papa that sucking salt under this system. Anyways ma and pa, though we not celbrating the death of Chavez,thousands of Venezuellan celebrated last week as a 58 year old man who had many oppressed for 14 yrs. ended. To everything there is an end and just keep trusting.
Wel said. Amen!
What are you also stating about this government and Chavez? Last night I witnessed hearing on Canadian TV what many stated about Chavez and how he built homes for people who were living in share poverty. A woman showed the well-equipped home with blender and other necessary utilities which came with the home. She said that when election time comes around she will vote for Chavez’s Party. Therefore, your comments are only a matter of your opinion and Chavez’s non-supporters who did not see the good that he did and obviously are non-appreciative of also what he did for Dominica and its nationals. You must see the good in others and what they have done and appreciate it as your current government.
When ur mum and pa will start sucking salt, I hope u are going to have mouth to talk or fingers to write
@ The Truth Offends This is not none of your dam business Go to Hell! Go to Hell! Go to Hell! Or go hide yourself in a toilet.
Power and corruption can’t hide fromm the persistence of truth. One of those days God will absolve us
No Fire Under Coffee Kettle -ing way !God my big toe.Iknow you peeps are more than conservative and buried under religion.But God only help those who help themselves.
When the citizens are too dumb to comprehend the victory is based on technicallity of proof of having a passport they easily accept the ruling.
The situation has to be reanalyzed and step it up in a diffferent direction.The UWP is a by product of DFP Skerrit deviated and seized th opportunity with the help of the remaining bofas and infiltrated the DLP.Problem is there are too many poor idiot in the party and (on island in general)
who depend on the Bofas togive direction.Look back at our history not too far back 1978-79 Mamao led the way and overthrew the idiot.
They ruled for 15 yrs the Bofas.
Now the wnna be bofas are sitting comfortable and directing DLP underr the former young DFP corrupt president. Lookat what we’ve got over the last 12 yrs. We have no Idea toujour what’s in the MOU wait when Medad et Al interpret their win as a cate blanche to turn oppressive.
The Gulag may be in VC lol
Alexander Solkenhisn you sound like someonewho would make a good parnter for Parra Riviera.
The only thing is when you take power construct
the Gulag for the DFP-ites turn DLP -ite.
So it took the ECSC four months before they realized that evidence was not enough? They fooled me once, twice but not a third time. Money is power and no money no love.
I am happy for Dominica though!
I glad I got out of Dominica. It will take generations for this country to recover from this government. You people too close to see how screwed you be.
when they will ship you out or retire you will come back.
come back to what? an ignorant society?
You are joking, not serious and are not fair and patriotic to your land of birth where you obviously still have relatives, friends and visit from time to time and enjoy the visit.
Many of us who reside overseas do not share your sentiments. I do believe that if some of us had remained in DA we would have been better off and Dominica would have been a better place. Many would have been still alive. This includes other islanders.
The opportunity was present and so we took advantage of it. Many were employed at that time with government and other jobs. You know, the grass appears greener on the other side.
Today, Dominica is far better and has many opportunities which did not exist in those days, university/college, etc. Frankly, as I read the articles on DNO pertaining to this and other information, I am impressed and realize that Dominica has come a long way and is progressing.
Do you think residing abroad is better than residing in Dominica? I recognize that there are many opportunities which we should take advantage of and which some do not due to certain personal situation.
Opportunities come with other problems. However, think again and open your brains and eyes. One day you may bite your tongue, eat your words and wring your hands about that.
One of the things that come not back is, “The spoken/written word.”
Don’t worry;soon you will be deported!
I hope that u dont come back, I know for sure more people are bawling in the diaspora than those of us living in DA. May be u are not aware of what is happening in the outside world Although u are out there?
Nine months of winter too. Then during the few summer days it is hot, humid and unbearable. No happy medium.
Yes, Stupid Mindless Dominican Has-been, (SMDH), I am also glad you got out of Dominica. You will not be missed if you stay out for the next generation.
Proud Dominican (PD)
And I hop
e when you are deported like so many of you are you do not come back to that country you are turning your back on.
Because u cannot go back, thats why u so glad u got out ..
Common sense prevailed. Now let us move on with the people’s business.
MJ, PLEASE GET A LIFE!
Persons not versed in the law trying to be law personnell. How do they earn their degree by listenning to gossip and being misled by some who claim to be intelligent. But only want to see chaos in the country an look who is fighting on DNO one another. Time to look internally and concede ” What am I doing for my country?” Am I assisting in the development of my nation? Time to wake up and smell the coffee and stop listening to those who want to sink the country with their venom they are spreading.
Time to put love of country before self and this cry is also for those who fooling the ignorant in their venom in the disguise of democracy. We won’t have strife in this country in the Name of Jesus.
Good ruling, a citizen of Dominica has no value and any french man can become pm of Dominica.
Mule statement
check chief justices lennox and the groovy bat!work with them!
No…we are embarrased by your embicile comment
And if your side had won – they would have been superb – the best ever.
Do you see any sense in what you have said. If one day you are to face the courts and you believe in your innocence would you want them to return a verdict of guilty to you.
Praise God there is no more appeals because the people of Dominica would be drag down again just to please some people egos.
It is over and done with. Just accept the defeat. One side had to win and one had to lose. That have been achieved. Justice was done. Move on.
what do you when the wrong side wins?
who is innosent? LORD have mercy.
NOW let COMMONSENSE PREVAILso that every Dominican of all political persuasion can work for the betterment and progression of the country. IN THE MEANTIME, Is it reight to believe that Section 33 of the Constition which givs a Commonwealth citizen(A Dominican) with the legitimate residential station to be involved in any Election process. Therefore, these guys as Dominicans(Commonwealth citizens) had a right to be in that process
Y can’t some poeple underestand that Skero n labour not gona b there for ever,but we don’t have an opposition party an that we are satisfy,when we ready will take them out simply
Come on why are these guys wasting money fighting this thing. Are there not better things to do with that money? in this poor country that really need it.
money is power, who cant swim will drung big man things now.
That whats happen when court cases are filed based on the emotions of the moment. It can be argued long and hard, on radio and elsewhere. What matters is law and what the law says. Now let us go on and argue the law indefinitely. Soem other judges could hacve ruled otherwise becuase judges themselves are lawyers and they understand the law in a particular way. What matters now is that the judges we have serving us have ruled a particular way. No amount of eloquence “belly-aching” will turn things around. To suggest that the Privy Council would rule otherwsie is ludicrous. The matter could not have been heard by the Pricy Council. Our constitution does not alow for the mater to proceed tot eh Privy Council. “No constitution, no law” can facilitate the matter going to the Privy Council. We believe in our constitution as the supreme law of our land – don’t we?.
Chief Justice of Morne Daniel, do have a nice day. You have been handed an excellent discussion topic for another two years – enjoy the ride. There is more to come.
Is now Workers Blue vex! They lost the appeal again. Like it or not Skerrit is the PM for the next 20 years!
seems u want to live in a communist country where u cant vote, shame on you. You call yourself a genuine dominican?
Please ensure that you have received direct confirmation from God before making this statement. Because I too thought Chavez would be in office…”forever”. IJS
chavez prayed but God did not give him the extra life he ask for, 20 yrs is for god not for you
you must change that name you have there because a genuine dominican cannot and will not use these words you are using and trust me you do not like your country.
You must be Jesus Christ. Chavez thought he was God . Power is in Gods’s hands.
Genuine Dominican, I hope you will not be in the midst of the labourites who will be stoning him out in the next few years. Be careful what u ask for
Don’t forget Chavez was president for life..
to all the negative comments,stop blaming the pm and labour,uwp is dead the court ruled accordingly.get over it move on.
Children of tomorrow
I apologize to you
On behalf of those in my time
For the things we didn’t do
We didn’t stop the tyrants
So your fate could be prevented
We watched them steal our freedom
By our silence we consented
We didn’t choose to circumvent
The doom you’ve not escaped
While the Bill of Rights was murdered
And the Constitution raped
Some of us were lazy
Others too afraid
To think about our children
The ones we have betrayed
I guess we were too busy
To be concerned or care
To try to ease the burden
Of the chains we made you wear
We could have been good shepherds
When the wolf got in the fold
But we watched the flame of freedom die
instead
And left you cold
I’m sorry we were timid
My selfish generation
We left you but a remnant
Of a free and prosperous nation
I’m sorry for our actions
Like cowards we behaved
We could have left you freedom
Instead you are enslaved
Children of tomorrow
Descendants of our land
I’m sorry we allowed this
The fate you now with stand
I m happy you include yourself because its people like you and your selfrighteous attitude that have our country in this situation. All your greed and hatred…. Yes, I m happy you know its people like you to be blamed!
Nonsense! We all have freedom of speech.
really! You call that creativity? Stupzzzzzz. Next time write a paragraph and leave poetry to the poets!
There is a difference between what’s real and what’s imaginary.
this case was of national interest and a verdit should be expedited since it was about the leaders validity.
whenever the verdit was taking so long to come i said that there are evil(lawyer) forces working in the background.
i really didn’t expect justice to be served.
sssssssssssssstttttttttttttttttttttuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuppppppppppppesssssssssssssss
To the WOMAN IN TEXAS ‘that’ claim she is UWP representative.I wish she get a life and stop being a ROLLING STONE IN THE U S A.
I am feeling sorry for u.
Another blow for the UWP. When will they ever learn? Listened to Q-95 and my God, it seems that the justice system never work for them because they always loose. Maybe they should consider a name change to UNITED LOSERS PARTY (ULP)
SKERRO AND LABOUR ALL THE WAY (GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME………)
well I want to hear what Q95 will come up with now!!!!!! I dont think that some Dominicans understand that it is not just our vote that put the PM there but it is ordained by God!!! Read Romans 13:1&2
YOU FOOLING YOURSELF. eVIL IS SOURROUNDING THIS gOVERNMENT BUT IT CAN’T LAST FOREVER.
I think you should start taking Bible classes because you dispised you Island and it’s people as long as they dont think like you,example your child did something that was wrong instead you compensate the child with a lollipop knowing what he/she did was wrong what message did you send to the child. Skeritt/Petter did something wrong the court knows it but decided to send it back to the people of DOMINICA to deal with at the polls election should be next year if he allows it remember he haven got to go according to any CONSTITION we haven got one he should follow.
Now people of Dominica your Island is yours to take control of stop focussing on the pass it is done with be ready for what’ comming.
Sorry DNO but I know you will provide us with more details of this judgment. I just can’t believe that it took all this time for the court to come to this simple decision. So I’ll wait for more from you on this
Papa Dom. The Judges had to study the case quite meticulously, they could not rush into things. They wanted to do the right thing to come up with the right decision
We dominicans are an intelligent nation. The fact of the matter is we continue to determine our own destiny. We chose Patrick, Mamo, Edo, Rosie, and now Skerrit. Which means we gave all sides a fair chance and a taste of power. So stop being so bitter. When the time is right we will decide on our next leader. But for now we chose Skerrit and so it shall be.
I agree with you 100%; nothing gets me more angry when I hear politicians,eloquent speaking persons etc call my fellow Dominicans stupid and ignorant. These are the same stupid and ignorant people they want to vote for them. Dominicans are very capable of handling the electoral process, never in my wildest dreams did I think Freedom would be out of power in DA and see what came to pass…everything in its own time. No coup, no riot, no boots on ground…wait and listen, then act.
What next for U W P,They should address the Dominican people about their new ideas then they may have a chance to regain power not fighting.
Dominica does not need need any ‘new ideas’ or the UWP for that matter. What Dominica need is 50 more years of Skeritt and his offspring. If UWP spend any more time, money and effort trying to convince Dominicans that there is another way they will just be wasting their time. The best suggestion is for the party to go into hibernation and allow Skeritt to rule in a 1 party state. Thats what the majority wants so allow them to get what they deserve instead of wasting their money trying to make people ‘joy’ their sorrow.
You know, I endorse what you stated except it will not be a one-party rule. A country still needs opposition as any other country.
You must also recognize the good that this present government has done for Dominica. This is what I view and what this Party can do for DA’s future and its nationals. People must utilize their common sense instead of their emotions and what the enemies of the current government states to influence nationals.
United we stand, divided we fall. Then chaos and dissatisfaction ensues, most times are uncalled for.
So. True. 50. More
Well said.
It would be foolish for the UWP to focus on reelection. The reasons that they have been losing the last electins still exists and the court decision shows that they have no redress. This means that they would be wasting their time and exposing new candidates to unecesary risks.
Labourites that fighting
DOMINICA LOST TODAY and there I was almost convinced to support the CCJ they got a chance to prove themselves as independent and impartial AND THEY BLEW IT………..AND TO HELL WITH POOR PEOPLE
Do you want things to go your way? Are you versed in the law? And when things does not go your way, then you say things without having the facts.
What a foolish way of thinking! There was never a case and the UWP knew it! They are bankrupt of ideas so they turn to these foolish tactics which always backfire in their faces. Up till now, UWP cant tell Dominicans what they plan to do so differently from the DLP. The UWP is really a dead party, just like my beloved DFP! Sorry folks but you must come much better than that if you ever want to smell political office in this country again.
Dominica won today.
Doh put God in that, you mean corruption is with them. All of you’ll out on DNO today oui. LOL enjoy your poverty.
Are u saying we were rich when uwp was in power? Really! I recall not being able to get my salary on time as a teacher! A month was all like 45 days long… I remember when marpin and dowasco used to call me about my bills not having been paid by monthend. I used to tell them government say computers break down so I not yet get paid. Magwaysar!
The dominican people are still asleep. When will u wake up my people and stop allowing urselves to be manipulated by pure coruption. We are in the year 2013 and yet my people are held in salvary and they are consenting to such behavoir. By reading some of the comments it hurts my heart to learn that most Dominicans fail to educate themselves aout true democracy. Too few are left to stand up for justice,its like looking for a needle in a hay stalk.
Claudio ! I know for sure like wise most thinking people in DA knows that we are not living in slavery, now should u think that u are living in slavery, that is up to u
LENNOX and ANGELO,’YOU ARE NOT’ WHO YOU think YOU are…WE(DOMINICAN MASSIS)put and WE take out.SHERRIT WILL RULE till WE ready to take him out.The cry of the people is the cry of JAH and WHO ever JAH bless NO MAN CURSE!WE waiting for YOU ALL in the up coming GENERAL ELECTION!
we Dominicans? Talk for yourself.
Blah blah blah can you hear yourself I guess not, blah blah blah.
Now that the case is over he can find money to pay the PWC…perharps LIAT will give back a million from what he gave them
Mira mixing matters. Go and understand how things work. PWC is a Statutory organisation governed by a Board of Directors. So do not mix matters. The Public Services is what comes under the Government Department portfolio. I feel sorry for those of you who say things that you do not understand what you are saying but just repeating what you hear others who cannot teach you say. Also those who are somewhat intelligent, watch out that you are inciting the people to confusion or create chaos. Time to stop.
It is a statutory corporation which does work for the Government and should be paid on time, however that is not happening. I feel sorry for those of you who are so “red” and sound educated but you don’t have the common sense to decipher the truth.
In my next life I want to be a lawyer
Do not wish.
You will never come back – Heaven or Hell. There is no coming back. Make the most of your present life fruitfully that God has allotted you so that you may obtain Heaven. No more cares, tears, sorrow, toil, obstacles, struggles, anxiety and stress which contribute to all sorts of illnesses. Heaven is something to look forward to as we age and getting ready to meet our Maker.
people this is not about politics!! yes, we know that the opposition did not have a firm case. I think they should stop focusing on all what the prime minister is doing wrong, congratulate him on the things that he does right and find out what he is not doing in order to gain an advantage. Our Country’s main issue is in development. There are no jobs! so many students have returned with degrees and great business ideas but the economy is in shambles and our small businesses are continuously failing. We need to get a solution for our country. Yes, the world is facing an economic crisis but yet still, people continue to go on expensive trips and spend unimaginable amounts of money. we need to market our country as the “nature island of the world”. Dominica is one of the few places in the world with this much to offer; white and black sand beaches, mountains(hiking), boiling lakes and sulphur springs, a serene atmosphere, hospitable people and a dynamic culture. so why aren’t we the number one destination in the world?? we also have agriculture; the world is requesting more and more organic and natural foods…. For too long we have focused on politicians as if they were celebrities, we have made enemies with our friends while these politicians sit together and laugh in meetings, we have settled for exploiters and corruption… We NEED to FOCUS on Dominica!!!
Where can I find you to come shake your big toe??
Only the big toe? You will have to take out the shoe and socks, where necessary. A hug and a handshake would do.
I am definitely voting for you next election; a true Dominican
you guys have the power too turn this arouud next coming election if you guys doesnt like the court ruling well my people vote them out,If labour remains in power it means the people of Dominca like the job this administration doing,The position need too address the Dominica people about their new ideas for Dominica not fighting and they will have a chance to regain power.
Those who were expecting otherwise were either too naive or trusting of our Jstice system. I for sure never thought that after three years the judges would decide to boot out the sitting Prime Minister. Besides the opposition should have noticed the confidence of the government side weeks or even months in advance. Take for example the decision to go meet with the Vrgin Island Diasporans; if the PM was really doubtful of his position with the courts I am not sure that he would make such plans – that can be disputed I am sure. Nevertheless , behavior, demeanor or otherwise indicated that the government was unsure of the results.
There is no use crying foul as far as I am concern. What we all must accept ReED, GREEN OR BLUE is that justice is an illusion and truth is perception – that Tony Astaphan continue to demonstrate. Even the bible and the teachers of the bible demonstrate the same. The history boos too.
What is your perception of justice. Do you believe that he should have be forced to produce a passport? In which justice system is anyone forced to produce evidence against themselves. It is responsibility of the plaintiff not the defendant to produce the evidence. How would you like to be accused of a crime and asked to show the evidence that you committed the crime. It’s been almost for years of little progress because we Dominicans refuse to give politics a break and work for the development of the country. Anyone who tries to be objective is quickly attacked by both sides no one is willing to have an open intelligent conversation it’s all about bringing each other down. So unless you have evidence that something illegal happened with the supreme court accept the verdict encourage the opposition to do dome soul searching and preparation for the next election. And if in your opinion the courts are so unfair please stop using them you are just encouraging a corrupt court and if you do win it would be in a corrupt court.
God is with the prime minister and mr st Jean Congrats to the both of them and the labour party,
Go labour go all the way,God is in control not the uwp.I’m happy they win who vex lose.
why is god a part of lies and deceit, with lawyers that can bend the laws to their liking…
What is good for the goose, is good for the gander. The court is currupt only when it rules against you. When it rules in your favour, then it isnt currupt. Shame on you, you hipocrite!
Stop calling god name in all you business. God dosent like liers, the bible say that. He would never put a lier or corrupt person in power so its not his doing, stop fooling you all self and go read the bible to see the truth. Sometimes he gives us what we want to see how we can deal with it and then he acts all in his own time. People read your bible before its to late and stop being so blind.
I think you should leave the Bible stuff for Christians; I know you could not be one since you know so little about the Bible! Do not embarass yourself by talking about something you do not know about’ that is what fools do and you are no fool my friend.
You think is God eh? well you fooling yourself.God does not like lies.He is just giving us our chance in Da.
huray huray skiro again
I knew nothing was going to come out of
that case
I happy dat happen to EDDO
Mister and dem playing stupid and selfish politics.
Start to fight in the peoples favour, I doh give a damn bout Skerrit’s and St Jean’s dual citizenship
Ignorancy will never die eh!
Eddo can sleep at nights his conscience is in tack thank God almighty for that
i wonder wat next the u w p will look for on the labour party,every day is about pm pm,maybe now they will leave the pm continue his good works.
Morgabie is back again on on his frone
My goodness me. If you are going to make such a damning comment, the least you can do is spell the key words correctly.
Your inability to spell is even more destructive than your comment!
How do you like democracy at it’s best? Sweet Dominica. Great leadership. A few mistakes were made, yes, but we will learn by them, after all- to err is human.
Something’s happening and it sweet and exciting
i never believe in Dominicans they are a sellout Nation…plenty chatter but nothing to show…
they like being at the lower end.
if they were smart why did they give labour 18 seats and now expecting the courts to do it..
dam right courts place in back in those silly dominicans..what a backward island…
but who tell is d ppl dat put him der dat want him out. ppl like u dat did not vote for the gov… who want dem out.
Hard Pitch you are a true and real MAMA LOOK u and your 15 NON-DOMINICA real *** clowns
WHAT ARE YOU REALLY SAYING?????????
hard pitch you too stupid. you putting blight on the country you live in but remember the grace us never greener on the other side
so go on and run your lil mouth. you guys dont understand s… sog o ahead.
nobody is puting blight on dominica now, is when skerrow came and row the boat all devils got loose in dominica.
You must be the “poster child” for our backward country! A picture of ignorance? We did your teachers go wrong?
we are not so backward after all, you took the time to read our news and give your ridiculous comment.
Gosh! am so tired with this!! Can the man now continue with the ppl business at hand?
Here’s the thing that disturbs me about the case: The Court ruled that Skerit and St. Jean did not have to surrender their French passports nor testify and then turns around and says that the petitioners did not produce the evidence when the petitioners had asked the Court to request that the respondents surrender their foreign passports or take the oath to give evidence! Incredible! It is a great pity that the case cannot be appealed to the Privy Council for fresh perspective on this most important case.
If you`re taking someone to court for stealing something, is it not up to you to prove your accusation? Would you ask the court to demand that the accused bring forth the stolen goods to help you win your case?
Are you a lawyer? Did you study law at any point in time? If not, then it is the reason why the case disturbs you.
Accept that you know and understand less than the people who are actually qualified in the field.
the law was made for the masses and not for lawyers. Don’t for get is the poor masses that go to prison and not the lawyers so stop implying that legal matters are only for trained lawyers. People should not accept anything thrown down their throats, they should always question and challenge and question everything.
So are you saying that the lawyer for the UWP does not understand law? It would be interesting to see how the appeal court answered the questions which were asked of it. Remember that no new evidence can be brought to th appeal, so what is the answer to : whether Thome erred in ousting the inherent jurisdiction of the court, whether she erred in not allowing disclosure and was enough evidence was adduced to draw a inference.
Do you know anything about the process of discovery and subpoena?
I can’t say that I know about disclosure but I’m sure you’ll educate me on the subject. So lets have it, tell me all about it.
You take me to courst for stealing your money. Our system say you as the complainant MUST produce the EVIDENCE. I do not have to prove to you that I stole your money. Why shouyld it be different for a seating Pm. the constitution does not set him apart from anyone else. He is bound by the letter of the law both in privilege and responsibility – just like you and me.
The opposition took the matter to court and fsiled miserably to prove their case. So why blame the court or the P<. last week the court handed down the opposition a victory. The courts system was good then and suddenly bad now.
Skerrit is the one who wants to run for office,he should show his qualifications.
@ Observer,
You can’t have it both ways, on one end allu say that this case is a CIVIL matter and as such it should not assume the dictates of a criminal case, yet you are quoting STEALING, which is a criminal matter.
When people get accused of having marijuana in their possesion, the police does not wait for the acuser to prove guilt, instead they will go and break down your house or tresspass your land to get the necessary evidence. So your argument is full of holes and as such is worthless.
The whole thing is a set up and a way for the courts to pass the buck and render no decision. Spineless.
The Burden of Proof lies with the accuser. Please be informed.
Now the other woman judge support her ITS WOMAN TIME;
How will the CCJ be for the people ever??
Too much heresay. Too much gossip. I hear this about not a Herd Follower. I have no evidence in hand to substantiate aboutwhat I heard about “Not a herd Follower” but I am asking “Not a Herd follower” to give the me the evidence which I does not have to convict him. Well just to educate you “Not a herd Folower”. Is this factual. I should have all my evidence in black and white to present before I take you to the courts. Stupes … time to stop listening to gossip and stay away from slander and trying to bring persons down because you figure you don’t like them or jealous, envious of those who are moving up. And guess you have no reasons for those feelings towards those persons. All you live day by day hatred because of some other person’s state of hatred/Envy/Jealous mind rubbing off on you. Time for an independent mind to do some evaluation for yourselves.
Privy Council my foot.
Better tell Ron & Eddison to save their money to come good next election which is next year.
Skerrit not going up again but they fighting a man who will be out of politics in one year.
Am fed up with Dca politics l scene. Is time we get some fresh blood.
I not a Labourite or UWPite, and I think I speak for everyone by saying “We just want someone to govern Dominica with passion”.
That said no government would be in power for more than 3 consecutive terms. We all know labour doing good and bad, same as UWP when the were in power, ask the girls in Ministry about their bracelets,chains and many more but this opposition is a laughing stock right now.
Good take that.
We have the courts’ decision now we have a choice. Are we going to continue saying that as long as the decision is not in our favor that the court is wrong? Local court, regional court – all of them wrong? It seem s all of us went to law school.
Even if we against Skerrit, at some point we have to concede that we are wrong.
By the way, it would be truly wonderful if the UWP recognises that elections will soon be due. It is time to start the campaign for re-election. Put the focus on the UWP.
doh worry chevez did not want to come out but god took him out so every thing is just for a time all pig have it saturday
What a horrible thing to say!
don’t be no damn hypocrite!
you fraid truth??
i agree with you,tout kochon ne samdi ou!
Terrible comment! Never wish bad for anyone! Le are that!
You are a sick, politically deranged individual. Doctor Sharma needs to examine you. people like you are drinking too much of that toxic cool-aid being served to you by the likes of Lennix, Groovy Bat and Matt.
I believe that you are the sick one. You are cover by the evils of Skerrit. His wrong always becomes right. Can’t you see some fishy is going on? Some day God is going to put a hand.
Mine your Saturday doe come before his. Right now allu Workers people so “sanctified” and “fair” that allu wishing death on people now.
Include your saturday.
Do any of us ever want to go?
Dont we all have our time?
I bet you are going out very soon
Mr.Piggy, it seems you know your time and place or your mother, sister, father, nenen, pawe???
Dominican not easy….smh
Tell Eddison to start putting his manifesto together and don’t do like copelape next year
idiot
I suppose there will be a double up of the slandering, passing around of collection plates, beg letters, and selling tickets for raffles that will not take place to pay all those useless legal bills. What a great way to demonstrate good sense, honesty and concern for the people’s hard earned money.
I would have preferred that they begged their rich overseas daddies/supporters for a hotel that would employ Dominicans – thereby creating productive largesse, than this obscene waste of people’s money trying to make themselves more relevant for the next election.
ITS TIME FOR THE u w p to focus on educating their selves on governance decide what u want not lies on q 95
Is on Kairi that have lies. Don’t fool yourself.
Not surprised one bit! Utter Rubbish.
boy it have some stupid, ignorant ppl in d/ca.. if it was the end of the world, they would be no it’s not the end… if you were dyin they would be, no am fine.. some are just ignorant to
facts
You are the first one I meet; what an unpleasant encounter. You do need anger management before you kill yourself!
Bam! labour! Skerro keep holding on. When the good Lord ready to take u out from where u r he will do it in the appointed time. Happy on the outcome.
God is not in your nonsense.
If the ruling had gone the other way, then all those who oppose the ruling right now would be on the streets jumping and saying that the justice system is fair. Now the ruling is not in their favor…..what are they saying?
Skero was right when he said he will be in power for a long time…
sad day for Da…but the citizens of Dominica brought on that element on themselves
Electoral reform or not labour will still win at the Polls…Dominicans are not known to be courageous Citizens…
they are weak and expecting something to fall out of the sky….
Man or woman or whoever you are, you are more foolish than all the Dominicans you are criticising! I m truly sorry for people like you, who bark for the sake of it!
Is that where you fell from? I was expecting something good!
stupzzzzzzzzz
How you FEELING Lennox? Is Privy Council your next step?
Hey ,Its really not about Lennox, Skerrit or anyone else but its all about THE CONSTITUTION OF DOMINICA…. THE COUNTRY YOU LOVE…. !
Really? So what is the subject to the matter?
CCJ my foot! Skerrit knew the decision way in advance, but one day, one day. In Dominica we celebrate wrong, but time will tell
The only way to get justice is to put judge judy on the CCJ
You sound so angry!
try some cocnut water man, its good for pressure!
God is good all the time and all the time God is good!
We in Dominica need to seriously take stock and stop having people taking us for papyshow……We are an educated and informed people who will not settle for he say she say or rum shop talk politics……I mean wasever a ny doubt in anyones mind as to what the outcome in this case would be??? This was the oppositions case presentation:
Opposition: Skerrit is a french man Skerrit is a french man….
Judge: Really ok Present your evidence to the court.
Opposition: Skerrit Have the evidence put him on the stand let him bring the evidence he have at his home make him bring it to the court to prove our case for us……
Are you so gullible? I do not want to laugh but it is time these politicians stop taking dominicans for clowns…. SMDH stupes
Correction Was there any”
i found your synopsis of the whole matter so amusing! You made my day!
These people know what happened during elections but choose to turn their backs and support these men of lies, who claim to be followers of the almighty. All’s well that ends well. Nothing is fair about this government, think the house of parliament should be posted online so other people will listen to the crap and word wars which happening. Everybody who supports what happen know why, before elections they will get their money and materials. That’s what it has come to and we all know what was happening. Blessings everyone. The people did choose a sinner rather than Jesus, no matter what happens, the truth must come to light.
who are u referring to as “Jesus”? LMAO!!!!!! hush up eh with this nonsense
Everything is for a time. Did Chavez lived forever – nope. And so one day Skerret reign will end – Someway some how.
WE Dominicans look like we get coward or does Skerret have a spell on us. We no longer strike nor have powerful demonstration that will r ock the Skerret Party.
the name is SKERRIT! And when his reign comes to an end, Labour will still be in power! BON!
Not enough Evidence!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nonsense, he didn’t kill someone and now being asked to provide the gun he used. This is not a criminal case; this is the prime minister of a country for crying out loud. No one has to prove he is eligible, before he was nominated your background should be checked and ensure you qualify. Only in my little country. It is a sad day.
ok…and who failed to prove his background? him?
Come on – ok..let’s supposed Skerritt is in the wrong. The UWP brought this case to court. It’s not the job of the court to be the evidence finder. The court is the fact finder based on the evidence.
What evidence did the UWP have to bring forth the alleged facts that it’s claiming?
you’d prefer the judge oust Skerritt for lack of evidence than to follow the law. You guys want Skerritt to follow the law, and the court not to.
what is the future of Dominica when the institution which is in place to guide us is being asked to fail us?
Skerritt is not higher than the courts – the courts made its decision …live with it and cast your vote next time
Spoken like a man!
Contragulations to my PM and my Parl Rep. We love you wherever in the world we are!
Congratulations . . . so excited I can’t even spell.
God is Good All The Time and All The Time God is Good. Congratulations!!
We keep blaming the Justice system, but have we stopped and think that it is not simple. Evil is written all over the damn country. Check the Dominica flag in the Vieille Case cemetry. DNO I hope all you post this one. All over the caribbean the decisions go to the plainfiffs but in Dominica it goes to the defendants? Common people.
this is some bullsh**, i’m expecting to see some major skerrit worshipping and idolizing in the near future from the dummys of dominica, this country has to be the most brainwashed , unsuccessful, unjust , anti-progress … must i go on GODAMN!!, all because they love the man he will lead you people into the bellys of hell and you will follow because you love him how stupid can you be, it’ll be way to late for Dominica and its people before they wake up and act like they have brains instead of **** in their skulls, you can bash all you want but i said it now runteldat.
I agree with you!
The sad thing about this is that… I live here, I am not worshiping and idolizing a man like others do, but goddamnit, i paying for it, i suffering, they love a man that will lead them to hell
The thing is when you all the enemies of progress keeps on uttering demonizing words against a brother or a friend you are keeping yourselves down. Instead of being at home to make valuable contribution you are sitting in another person country like a parasite sucking what is being flushed down the drain. You all keep doing the same thing that you would never do in your own coutry. God Bless brother Skerrit the government and Dominica. And god bless you too.
You really need to take your anger pill… that anger will you!
Where would we be without you then? Come on…. open your mouth…be a good boy and swallow
Cry all you want Dominica, NO ONE will solve our problems for us, not even the ECSC. STEP UP MY PEOPLE AND WAKE UP!
It appears it is true no law no constitution, the ruling does however bring bad reptation to the ECSC,
Now it will be a free for all do what I want when I want to do it I am above the constitution and the law
Did you ever read the Constitution? Identify the article in the constitution that says the PM or St. Jean was in violation on nomination day.
You are entitled to your vies, but not your ‘own’ facts.
The UWP case was doomed from the start.
Instead of presenting themselves as an alternative to the present Gov’t and presenting views/ideas/platforms for sustainable governance in the near future, these guys have embarked on a litigious journey.
Every dislike is now challenged in court.
When the court rules against them, the judges are bad. How about examining the facts of the case.
The judges in St. Kitts must be Labourites too!
Hell with you Old fart, Jeremy Sinclair
very silly comment.
I can see u blue vex, too bad
You seem to be hurting a lot.You are in such pain that you have even lost your sense of reasoning… you really are not making any sense. I am sure you use to be a smart person before all that anger.
Well done PM and St.Jean congrats are in order Long Live the Labour Party God is not Sleeping more Power to the people of Dominica.
what a joke!
How can I get out of this place? Someone call AA for me before the stop flying………..
I can see another Venezuela!!!

Chave made Venezuela rich? Do you read or follow the news?

no one has ever proved PM lied to anyone but Eddo can be so happy Eugenia did not press charges…
GULP…have another glass of water!!
Wow! that’s a blow! :-
If only you are a perfect person.
LABOURRR….LABOURRR YOU LOVE YOUR PM WILL YOU VOTE FOR HIM WELL THANK U.IN THEIR FACE
When will the opposition realize that we in Dominica are satisfied with what we have! Just like no constitution will stop us is so one ruling wouldn’t have stop us – win or lose. Election would just have been called if we were to lose. When we’re ready to take Skerrit out we know just what to do. Just ask Patrick John, or all the other government we ousted at the polls. We need no court. Big up all Laborites & my PM!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!….
That\s my point…although i don’t live in Dominica, i strongly believe who feels it knows it.
And i don’t think that Dominicans are stupid enough to not know what they are feeling.
I always believe that the people elect the government they want in the democratic process. So come next election….if the people feeling it, what the UWP says they are felling, then they\ll let the polls speak…until then…let Skerritt rule
hmmmm!
This comment is brilliant!
Labourrrrrrrrrr all the way
am ready for campaign !!!
LADY U MAKING ME LAUGH. THAT MEANS U ENJOY THE PIECE OF THE PIE.
I knew this was going no where….
Imagine that…..
WOW hurrayyyyyyyyy
Good job by the ECSC. Time to end our own SEQUESTRATION that’s not moving the country forward. I do hope that Ron Green finds someting more meaningful and productive to say and do.
Skewo Had time pull up his pants
Who Jah Bless no man curse!!!!
He will curse you and make you shorter lol!
and the best men won…hmmmm
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH LOOK BOWDELLE…WELCOME TO THE GAME OF POLITRICKS !
Congrats my PM
we are not surprised, wonder how the opposition felt. stop wasting time and leave our pm alone.
hmmmm, i think Lennox needs to investigate the Judge.. ASAP
With the help of the Groovy bat lol lol lol
i agree. lol. since he don’t seem to have nothing better to do with his time. Man he needs to just concentrate on his family. all this loosing is starting to depress me.
know this bull would happen… same bodwelle in dominica
i know that would happen, same bodwelle
May the soul mind and body of mr Joseph and Green rest in peace and may they stop fighting with the Government and the people of Dominica and work to gather to build a better and prosperous Dominica.
Now the agression then the dictatorship begins.Mark my words.The MOU will unfold and soon your independence celebrations will be conducted in Chinese like they did in Tibet.
Our new yrs will be in July hahaha.
I did post weeks ago i hoped the judges did not meet before monday.Scotch was served over the week end in St.Kitts there we got the verdict this morning shallow reasoning from the court.
They have given the green light to these by products of poverty in Gov’t to sell the country.
i expect to hear viva Sino-neo colonialism.
Skerrit will form a concentration camp for those who who oppose. A gulag.
Go learn to spell, damn idiot. The word is together
