DLP expected to ‘make history’ in Marigot – DLP General Secretary

Riviere at launch of Joseph Isaac

The Dominica Labour Party (DLP) believes that history will be made in Marigot for the upcoming general elections.

That’s according to DLP General Secretary and candidate for the Grand Bay Constituency, Edward Registe.

The DLP announced at a press conference on Friday morning that its candidate for the Marigot constituency, Gregory “Karessah” Riviere will be launched on Sunday, 18thAugust, 2019 at the Marigot Fisheries Complex. The event begins at 2 pm.

Registe said the DLP has not won the Marigot seat in a long time and the party looks forward to adding that constituency to the number seats which they anticipate they will win across the country.

“The launch on Sunday is a much anticipated one and that of Mr. Gregory Riviere known as ‘Karessah’ and what we’re seeing in Marigot is really encouraging to the Dominica Labour party and we are looking forward to a very grand event,” Registe said.

“We hope that we can speak directly to the people of Marigot, to encourage them to support our candidate who we believe is a solid candidate and one who can have a major turnover in the seat. We are very confident moving into Marigot. While we have had interest in the Marigot seat before, this time around we believe that we have maybe one of our better chances to create history in the Marigot seat,” the DLP official declared.

DLP Candidate for Portsmouth, Ian Douglas said Riviere has always been working together with Dominica’s youth and the people of Marigot, making him an excellent candidate.

“We are very excited about the launching of Gregory “Karessah” Riviere. We think that we have an excellent candidate. He is a household name; everybody knows about Karessah. Not only because of his calypso fame but also his work among the youth of the country and all of the Marigot people,” Douglas effused.

He contended that Karessah is seen as an excellent candidate from all sides of the political spectrum.

“He has been with his people; from all reports he has been at it. In terms of Hurricane Maria, he’s been really integrated into the Marigot community,” Douglas continued. “He came to us and we didn’t have to go and look for him. He stepped up to the plate and decided that he wanted to serve his people.”

Douglas expressed his gratitude to Riviere for agreeing to be part of the DLP and gave the assurance that the party will go all out to ensure that he wins.

The DLP has indicated that topics such as the new Marigot Hospital and infrastructural developments within the constituency will be discussed at the Launch.

    Mr karessa, please give the people a break, imagine such fanfare for a launching? You guys have taken politics to the gutter in Dominica. Do you think that by coming on boats you gonna win? How stupid such an idea, and the supporters where loling as if Jesus Christ was the sea of Galilee.
    Why don’t you guys use that money to atleast fix a few roofs n stuff?
    Knowing Marigot people you will never win….
    You held the respect of many Dominicans, but after you got paid to go up for labour, you from hero to zero.. Any other person but Karessa for labour dats madnessss…
    Pure madness…

    Why are you asking how much money did he get .thats what he was going address.greg grew up in Marigot .he didn’t run like me and Linton.he stayed and build so can be proud of Marigot.linton as the pal rep still doesn’t like Marigot so how con he love Dominica .i won’t vote in da because I live over seas now but I hold Marigot dearest to my heart. So Marigot people do the right thing Greg for Marigot

      Zandoli, If you were leaving in Dominica and more importantly inform you would have known this man as you called him is a true Marigot person leaving and working in Marigot for many years and a little secret do not tell anybody Mr Riviere, has lots and lots more education than Lennox Linton, shhhhh finger on lips 💋 keep it in mind.

        August 20, 2019

        The fact that he’s a true ‘Marigot person’ is the very reason why he shouldn’t be up there with Skerrit. And why are you bringing up education when our dear Prime Minister literally bought a WHOLE degree ? Lol a joke man ?

    Karessah was on the kairi this morning making an excuse for his macasay behavior last night. He said that’s the way people from Sam’s Gutter, Marigot behave. 😒Karessah, you are not the only person from Sam’s Gutter. You have no manners! Period.
    All the degrees they say you have, you should have gotten one in decorum, not rum , decorum.

      It is not about manners when people are lying on you right in your face, it is reacting to harassment. You have to be more than a saint not to react to Linton’s fake accusations. Not everyone has the patience of Skerrit.

    • August 19, 2019

      Sam’s Gutter people Gregory “Karessah” dammed you all because he party DLP is saying you all are uneducated and stupid think about that, and ask yourselves is that the type of person you want to represent you going forward .Marigot my Village my people you are smart, educated, lots of common sense, and can make the right decisions.. UWP and there Team are the best party to help to bring out Dominica from the gutter and to move forward with it’s development..The deputy minister said Dominica is last in everything so we want to be first and to get there we have to make the Change in administration.

      I have listened to the PM over and over again and I’m very disappointed that he should be little my people in the village of Marigot, my people did you really listen to the man we call Prime Minister of Dominica degraded the leader of the Opposition Mr. Lennox Linton I’m sick of it, and his utterances of you the people of D’ica and especially those in Marigot it’s a shame and disgrace to all those who never attended collage or have a degree. He lied to the utmost even to the point that Linton didn’t make it in Sunday school how dangerous can he be.. My God we have a Donald Trump in Dominica.. Linton is so uneducated but Dominicans in Antigua are calling for Linton to come and speak, I’m outraged that PM should come to Marigot and be little our representative but he will pay for it at the poll. And those who are DLP’s ask yourself is that what you want for DA, instead of telling us about the money that is missing he is behaving in such a despicable manner.. Gregory should step…

    He will never win in marigot, we don’t support those who have to be brought to represent us. Just because they trying to put red all over the village doesn’t change that our hearts are blue and the likes of karessah won’t speak on our behalf. He wasn’t even in the village after Maria, he never even passed to check on his house much less for the people.

    I am a veteran laborite but let’s be real people.
    DLP has a 000% chance of winning in Marigot
    Even if we were to steal all UWP votes, we would still have a 000% chance of winning.
    If UWP were to remove Linton’s name on the ballot in Marigot, we would still stand a 000% chance of winning.
    When I think of our chance of winning Marigot the only thing that comes to my mind is what David said in Psalm 139:7-11 about his inability to hide from God no matter how hard he tries

    7.Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

    8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

    9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

    10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

    11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

    You see what you cause Mr. Edward Registe?

    Did DLP just confirmed that they will lose the next election? Is my party but to make that stupid announcement really has me, a laborite, to wonder if they have agreed with Peter Wickham that we will lose Wesley, Marigot, Salybia, Castle Bruce, Laplaine, Grandfond, Roseau Valley, Roseau North, Roseau central, Roseau South and Salsbury, which would make them government, and the possibility of adding St. Joseph and Mahault. As far as a DLP victory in Marigot is concerned all I would say is PURE CRAP!!!!

  11. Gold Teeth

    There comes a time when the Labor Party should admit the Marigot constituency was ignored and send the fool a little further. I remember when there were no motor-able road from Castle Bruce to Marigot and people had to be transported to the hospital by hammock. Where are we today? Labor must retire immediately.

      Please tell us who have been promising several Airports and which administration it is, all Dominicans would like to see one of the airports under construction, and who brought down the minister from St.Vincent to tell us Dominicans we do not need that airport and on his return he got himself an international airport which was suppose to be for Dominica but who allow that to happen. So how is that you didn’t mention the HOSPITAL don’t you believe we need one, so what happened to the money Mexico donated to that venture can you tell us what is going on, And who is controling all monies coming in to the Island and who is spending it do you know can you tell us

    This election is a history making election for true. It will be record breaking that one man will spend 76 million plus and still lose the elections.

    The biggest part of this history is the unseating of Roosevelt Skerrit!

    Their own prophet’s mouth was hijacked by the Most High and everything he prophesied is totally against them, today stalwarts of the party are referring to Pastor Peterson Benjamin as a false prophet. Ebeh look it..

    • August 17, 2019

      I wonder which Marigot a you speaking of because I grew up in the village of Marigot and it was always the number one village always first so I don’t know what you a trying to say, when I look at what is happening has nothing to do with Linton because he is the same age group like you so go and come again, and one thing our parents never did or believe in is ” hand out ” they worked very hard for all they had and that’s why no politicans could never fool them or disrespect them and I was very proud of them, today what is happening lazy men and women hanging around with hands out begging and they claim thy are from Marigot are you kidding me. I haven got much to say of men who are going up because it will be up to the people of Marigot to decide who will best represent them not Skerrit, Regist, Ian and others because after election is over they are no where to be found. I know Marigot still have some very smart people if they stand up and be counted instead of hiding behind there…

      Lin, you talk alot of BS and appears politically illiterate to the real issue before us. Skerrit and failed corrupted Dominica has placed our Domininca and people in a Labour corrupted circle of innuendos, failures, lies, poor governance, incompetent in analysing the path for Dominica`s development and immature in administering, managing and leading a highly failed labour government, no concrete plans that our people can follow and plot that chart as to where we our Dominica is going. We need Skerrit out and he has been involved in the Bin Bobo, the Fertilizer Bobol and we need answers o address these corrupted practices that you Skerrit and your incompetent Labour failed government to have us in a quandary. Skerrit is a big failure and what many felt and question 20 years that Skerrit should never been Prime Minister. This immature so called politician unable to this day to plot the path as to where Dominica is and where she is going. One thing we know is Skerrit must Go. Get Out.

      August 17, 2019

      Yes, Bank Pwell, That so called DLP government, failed, politically illiterate, absent minded to socio-economic development and has absent themselves and ignored Marigot now for the past 20 years, all due to this failed incompetent Skerrit who is searching and begging for votes and loyalty. That failed inept Skerrit, the worse, most failed incompetent Prime (Odd) Minister. This Odd Minister has damaged Dominica. Skerrit is creating a distraction and is using now the calypso music to lure our Karessa into his corrupted arena using one of Marigot’s well known calypsonian whom we know years back rejected Skerrit as a failure and it appears that Skerrit must have promised him some matters?
      Skerrit`s fear is Hon. Linton and decent UWP. Skerrit and labour cronies just cannot match Linton & UWP and will never be able to rise up as intellectuals as those within the disciplined UWP.
      Marigot people tell Skerrit & Karessa go to hell. Hon Linton is Key, & UWP is key to Marigot`s development.

      The first duty of a man is to think for himself. It is sad you are not interested in finding out the truth as it relates to Linton antics of constantly lying. What Linton has done is the same scenario or pattern
      in regard to Kieron Pinard-Byrne and the Layou River Hotel project, the rest is history, Linton was found to lying by the Privy Council.

      • Dominican
        August 18, 2019

        Linton was not lying at all. Where is the Layou River Hotel? Where is the money? Where are the investors? Do you know how many passports were sold under this project? Please answer these questions and then tell us who is lying. Linton is an honest man; my only problem with him is that he speaks too fast. Sometimes he needs to listen and observe. This is what got him in trouble with KPB. But KPB knows very well that Linton was speaking the truth, it is just that he (Linton) did not gather his information properly and KPB took advantage of that cause he is not a stupid person. I guess this is why Linton is asking all those questions this time around — “once bitten, twice shy”. May God help us in this country.

    August 16, 2019

    Wow ! What a brilliant way to end a very difficult week for my DLP! I really love that spirit man! I mean really since the budget debate Lennox Linton has my party playing on the back foot instead of forward and playing so many spinners on a pacy wicket. Man it was a very bad week for us in the DLP and make it worse, we were hoping to gain strength from the re-dedication service and instead, is the prophet that BLESSED Linton and gave our PM his final rite. So in the midst of such a difficult week why not make us laugh and give us laborites some hope . But though I really love the spirit of the strategy I hope Mr. Registe did not get the UWP base even more fired up because to me , a real laborite from birth, I know this is highly, highly impossible. It’s even easier for me to believe Portsmouth will turn BLUE with the loss of Ross Univerity than Marigot turning Red. I still RED but I seeing a BLUE waive coming.

    I always say if it is one constituency that should not vote this administration is Marigot. FOR 19 YEARS these people were neglected. It always hurt my heart when I visited Marigot. To me it seemed Marigot was deleted from the map of Dominica by Skerrit. Let’s see :
    1. Number of people with tapaulins on their roofs
    2. People living in temporary shacks.
    3. Abandonment of feeder roads.
    4. No assistance for die hard farmers.
    5. Failed to resurface main road.
    6. Let’s not forget the sea blast
    7. No investment opportunities for.the youths.
    8. No hospital and the list goes on and on ……. so tell Greg wheel and come again. How.much workdid he with the youths of Marigot as a youth officer?

We know better than this and we will firmly, strongly, absolutely welcome and vote in UWP and our Parl Rep, Hon Linton and incoming Prime Minister for development and respect for our Marigot and our people Dominica.
      We need change, we need development and we will not be fooled by this failed incompetent ODD Minister Skerrit and his failed corrupted, failed DLP so called Labour Government. Skerrit go. This little boy has not been and still not mature enough to be Prime Minister or head of government of our ailing and failed Domininca under his 19 years of failed ad poor in-service. The word used often as this labelling of Skerrit and his failed DLP is corrupt, Thievery, no jobs, no agriculture and we now sell our passports and no one knows how this managed. There are too many suspicions and questions to address. Karessa run away from DLP. Linton & UWP WE…

      I wasn’t only the DLP but also the Freedom Party turn back on Marigot but come to the people when it was election time so it’s a long time the people were been suppressed but they never allow them to keep them down they would never let there pride keep them back they tie there waist with there equipments and head for there gardens and it work for them, Marigot village t were providing food for them in Roseau I remember the many farmers such as Mr. Edney Sylvester with those gorgeous yams going down to Town for sale, and linton & Greg grew up knowing all of that, Another question what have DLP done in the village other than trying to fix the Dam bridge and still trying to work slowly on the road, is Greg trying to tell us he is doing when his party is the one who have all the monies on the Island. We need a change and when we talk of change we want men/women who put the Island and it’s people first at all times I pray that the people will ask God to guide them instead of greed .

      But Mr Greg Riviere has all the qualification you quote as a requirement. Plus he makes positive contribution to our culture in the entertainment sector with his calypso.
      It is said that Lennox would like to declare Mt Daniel as a constituency because he does not like corcoy speaking people and want to live in an urban upscale area.

As to you quoting Hillary Clinton. So what do you call Hillary Clinton supporters, honorable, ask Bernie Sanders.
          There is a parallel between the UWP and The DNC both are running a campaign of lies, throwing red hearings causing chaos. DNC with their Russia gate The UWP calling for elections reforms and their latest red herring $1.2 billion missing from the CBI, the only difference of the two is the degree of sophistication and deception used by The DNC. As to your ending remarks, yes Trump like wearing a red Tie and DLP colors are Red that does mean they exhibit the same personality, so long for your opinion.

We need a person who we can trust have integrity, common sense, complete knowledge of how Government and departments work, respect, kindness and above all the love of the Island and it’s people by putting them after God, those are some of the qualities we are looking for and for what it’s worth we can find these attributes in Team UWP. By the way Marigot is not for sale and Gregory should answer Linton question at his lunching Sunday, how much did he get from DLP to run for office and stop being a disappointment it was beneath him.

    I feel a strong, positive vibe about the Marigot Constituency. The last time I passed through, I saw so many red flags and the people were chanting Labour Power! It is very possible. Mr. Linton constant rants about gloom and doom, his neglect of the people during such a crucial moment will determine his fate. This will be history! My, people please take a trip to the Market, so much food! Da nice man! We voting Labour again. DLP, for the continued transformation of Dominica!

      Mr Linton has never made a single representative move for or in Marigot, but he manage to get two scholarships.
      He never paid any attention to Marigot in their time of crisis following Maria .
      Mr Riviere will make a historical best representative for Marigot.
      Two uwp political leaders Edison James and Lennox Linton has represented Marigot for over 30 years and they even had one 5 year term in government, but did NOTHING for Marigot. They spend all this time concentrating on attempts in Roseau that came to nothing. (the one term NOTHING PARTY)
      Its time for change in Marigot, from nothing to something progressive.
      Change for something good, better and best.
      With the right candidate, Mr Riviere and DLP pitching for Marigot the progress accompanying the new jet airport will move Marigot forward. GARANTEED !

    I know we like to make jokes on this site and play political games here. But let’s get serious and please listen to me as a seasoned and veteran laborite: you know if the DLP would make Karessa leader of the DLP Karessa would probably vote for labor. In fact based on my inside knowledge of our party, you know if we make Karessa the leader of the DLP Edward Registe would remain loyal to the DLP and would not switch to UWP? So let’s give it a try brothers and make Karessa Greg Reviere, the leader of our party so we could get his vote and then prevent Edward Registe from switching to UWP

    If the people of Marigot vote for a government that promising a hospital and basic needs since 2014 and only showing up in marigot now to dish out money then you right…that will be a historical event

    DLP cares nothing for the people of Dominica, they’re so consumed with strategizing for a WIN nothing more, that even in an era in Dominica’s history of possibly the worse record regarding accountability and corruption in Gov’t, they take pleasure in showcasing their callous shamelessness.
    In many ways, we can say that they have already “made history” in Marigot and in Dominica as a whole, just ask them where is the hospital, the international Airport, DCP, Bello,Ross and so on.
    But DLP has gone so far that they really cannot afford to lose this election without suffering major personal consequences. Still there’s more history to be made when they are called to answer the 1 billion dollar question recently posed by the leader of the opposition.’
    Dominicans must be truly dumb to allow a Gov’t to get away with so much bull..and Ian is one to talk, Portsmouth ppl should give him the shock that he truly deserves.

    It looks like Linton neverse< the man had abandon marigot for 4 years and all of a sudden the man leaving in marigot, he is there every day even keeping meeting. This is not a good sign for Linton.

      @ Lol, Linton deserted Dominica for more than 4 years. He deserted Marigot for Roseau, then Marigot for Mt Daniel. He had to return to Dominica because he was deported. The only reason he pretended to be back in Marigot is to get votes. He is just an imposter. Just remember what he said on CNN and what he did in Guyana. SHAME ON HIM!
      After he coned Edison James into giving him the leadership of the uwp he threw Mr James under the buss, an other desertion.
      Linton was not even a member of the uwp when he became its leader. That is why he tried to call it Team uwp. See how he flip Francis under the bus as deputy than yanked him back. That Linton is a master manipulator who can sell ice to the Eskimos from a tropical island like Dominica.

    :) :-D :lol: :mrgreen: history in the making!!! You sure right it will be the making of history as he performance will be the WORST of all those who have allowed themselves to be used. Douglas said that Gregory came to them (DLP) but Gregory told the people of Marigot that he was approached. It is written in an earlier publication of the SUN newspaper this year; so who not being truthful???
    You see miss Registe, people from Marigot are thinkers; we don’t forward on our knees but rather, on our feet. Where is the DLP’s report card for Marigot?? Let me tell you something: Gregory is not even going to vote for himself :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Go ahead, make my day and keep playing smart with chupidness. Make history in Marigot :-D :-D :-D :-?
    HOTEP!

    You can believe whatever you want Edward Registe. Karessah will not win in Marigot. It will not happen.

      Why will it not happen ? You think Marigot people deserve a representative who goes hiding in time of crisis.
      How many times have Linton attempted to represent the interest of the Marigot people.. He does not even mention Marigot in the House of Assembly.
      He refer to himself as the Official Leader of the Parliamentary Opposition.
      Not once has he said,” I am the elected representative of the people of Marigot.” He acts like he is the rep of all three Roseau constituencies and the Valley. But Marigot ?
      Ya right !
      Tell Linton that he can fool some of the Marigot people ONE time, but he will not fool the majority of the Marigot people again.

      • Take that!
        August 18, 2019

    Hey let me tell all you something, all you not listening or what? MARIGOT IS NOT FOR SALE!!!! Don’t come to speak to us about NOTHING! We are not easily bought Greg Reviere may be, but the host of MARIGOT will not be bought! So after all the neglect you just want to pour black top on road post hospital pictures and we are sold? Forget the nonsense, it will not happen, who fool all you? By the way let’s differentiate… Karessah is the calypsonian that sang AGAINST DLP in all calypsos, he sang he gave Dem licks, now GREG REVIERE is the DLP candidate for MARIGOT..
    You catch my drift?…MARIGOT people supported KARESSAH, We will NOT support GREG the chameleon!!!!!

      We will be voting for Hon. Lennox Linton and UWP trusted professional Team.
      Skerrit is a big failure and killed our development of Dominica. Skerrit has turned our people as beggars and he must not, never be Prime Minister again.
      Karessa and any other wanting to represent Skerrit just fr Skerrit sake, please go away and stay away. Skerrit is this failed incompetent Skerrit, who has failed us and the people of Marigot. All of a sudden this failed political clown and immature man who has run our village and country down. Marigot, please get rid of Skerrit and his so called candidate for Marigot.
      We have to get the UP Team Domininca in government to clean up Skerrit`s mess and who has ignored and abandoned us here in marigot. Skerrit is devious, please ignore him and stay away from this little boyish, failed Prime Minister. too much Bobol, we don`t trust him with our states fund
      He has performed as this !”Odd Minister” Shame on You Skerrit.
      We are voting decent Hon. Linton &…

    Welcome to the politically smart Marigot constituency.. The prime thing and question that will dominate the minds of the constituents is “”Where has the money gone”””.
    Like the Castle Bruce, GrandFond, Roseau South, Roseau North constituencies, this is just an outing by Labourites to spend money from the millions they have to buy votes, but it’s just an outing in futility.
    Where has the $$$1.291 billion gone?
    Where is the money?
    Where is the money?
    Where is the money?
