My DLP will win plus We will see DLP will fix please people don’t get mad red vex because the party is working for Us
My fellow Dominicans. Every time I login to DNO it seems like a never ending fiasco of frustration by many. Lets set some history straight and correct me if I’m misinformed. During the Mamo regime, were the people ever offered stuff in order to win their votes? but yet she governed for 15 years, but her devoted patrons couldn’t hold solid their grounds and were ousted by Eddie’s UWP. Then, during Eddie’s reign, there were some bad eggs that corrupted the good ones and subsequently led to Eddie’s down fall because he was too lenient on discipline; but I cant recall if he, Eddie ever used brides so openly to win votes. Now having said this, let’s flip to this current administration. Skerrit is my country man and long time friend since childhood. This in itself should say a lot about us growing up together. I want to be very careful and wise as I sit at this computer in the words and statements I make. This is in no way to shed a bad light about my country man, but to open his eyes in ways others close to him are blinded to see. Roosevelt Skerrit I respect your office as leader and prime minister and parliamentary minister of our lovely island and village respectively, but you can’t continue to have selective hearing when it comes to the cries and concerns of the people especially those who didn’t cast a vote in your favor. The most important issues facing the people are more necessary than the urgent. You can’t continue to use same old tricks or strategies to seduce the people anymore. If you purposely or intentionally or deliberately planned to win votes by offering services to quick couple urgent but untimely matters, you’ve just exposed your inability to win genuinely. You need to pay more attention and show more concern to the cries of the people. The majority of your supporters are like leeches just hanging around and sucking as much as they can possibly can at the expense of the country. Mr. prime minister its time to wake up, don’t you ever be fooled, that it’s not impossible that you can be ousted this coming elections. I’m saying this to you again my friend, don’t take the people for granted, don’t take the power of the voting public for granted especially those who don’t support you. Lead with wisdom. Now is not the appropriate time to rush and fix stuff that should have been addressed years ago, don’t wait for the last minute to make believe that you are helping their cause. no you’re not doing them any good. cease from this evil bribe and come clean
wat make allu think UWP will do better, havnt seen nothing great in any manifesto….all of them is the same crap!!!
DOCToR D do you think you and SKIRRET can fOOL all DOMINICANS i dont think so reel and come again its to later for both o f you go back to your work you study over 5.6 years in CUBA . i cannot believe you make king SKIRRET fool you so what a shame to you and your family you put yourself in this thinking better will b done but we only seeing you travelling over seas like SKIRRET now you a back to fool us…………….
i Hope the people realize it is part of the DLP Election scheme to full them for their vote!!
The Fond.St.Jean community has been suffering so long,they cast blind EYE…Election is really near!!! They remembered where they got all their votes FINALLY because they want votes again…
En bas la falaise Dibik dangerous..from Bascadere onwards.
Somebody behaving like mad ants “formi fou”.
yo tous par tou
What is the next advice? Why doesnt skerrit take time time off and just let Hartly, the Barbadian, act as PM. sinc he is the one calling the shots. Skerrit just making joujou with Dominicans. The public works cooperation have been taken on rides and so to is Dominica. Enough is enough. Pack you all wax and make tracks. Freedom weeps. There is a very capable team of good men waiting to take over.
election is very near .this trick always works to fool the Fond St Jean people
Don’t worry with that my people their operatives still have the control over the monies. The village councils are just being used as scapegoats. Their people are ordering materials and deciding who should work and who should not. Real corruption. At every inauguration they go to lately their dirty politics comes in to play. Viki Vi politics. Lord! we need your divine intervention, to save this land.
So sad how politics have become so dirty and corrupt,you vote for us we give you a check.
Yes I….alas papa bondieu when public officers getting an increase. hardworking teachers, nurses, police, customs – bringing all the money. When Lord When
ahahahaha alll of a sudden they fixing all roads all projects swinging in the place left right. lol but during the 14 years they cudnt do nothin but right now election coming so they doing like mad. but i seeing now and my eyes open .all u must comout there. i hear they clearing up all closet befor election call spending all the money but doe worry they have to go jail. with all what that going on there let me see if these dominican people stupid or what if they not seeing what mr dem doin the country for them to take them out there.
yes they think dominicans are stupid they go singeing contracts all over the place for things which are basic need.Those stuff should be done and continue with all goverment .Tell them that is only political games trying to play on the peoples,mind. come better than that.
All expatriates come home. We have too much work in Dominica. Public works people don’t even want more work and forfeiting fortnights of pay.Civil servants refuse to take a pay hike and settle for 0000 boy look movement in our economy.
Wooosh Labar CA Fen twavaille kiyonere.
Zor Labar ce mageeee
But Skerrit can make people laugh you know. You mean is only now, six weeks before an election he and Dr. Kenneth Darroux see our road bad? Good try but I haven’t got a car and 75% of villagers do not have one either, which means 75% of us will not benefit from their road. What we need is work and money in our pocket so we could plan our future just as the family of Skerrit, Darroux, Blackmoore and families of rest of DLP candidates and friends can plan their future. 95% of us here are unemployed and our bags are empty (Bag-a-tell). Give us work, restore our agriculture so we could have money to buy our fish.
How come all of a sudden , roads here, roads there, build roads in the sky next.
labaaaaaaaah kah feh marjee too pah tooh so we voting workers party toojooh,,
Just asking, why aren’t these monies paid to public works to do the works.
Is that a message to Public works to pack up; they are no longer required?
Councils have their village responsibilities. Hmmm, I hope the public works staff are observing what is happening before their very eyes.
vote buying in full swing
Interesting. So Village Councils have replaced the public
works arm of the DLP government, while the Public Works Corporation continues to suffer a slow death in the hands of DLP.
But RV, is it Chinese that will be employed to do the work in these rural places or locals who you claim are poor and don’t have a job? at the end of the day when you all UWP form the next government there’s a few less things you all will have to worry about, SMH.
christmas is in there air for the people enjoy it what about the house repairs to the needy did papa noel give for it teacher anjay hope you do a good job all the best to you and the new team//
where next they gonna improve on fix cut roads on the sea?
How more blind can we be?
Opposition the former solid team gone gaseous for a while.
Injected with new blood like an IMF recommendation just chatting fat. DA is so screwed!
