PM Skerrit decries negativity in Dominica

Skerrit said Dominicans must not always be negative towards the country

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has decried the level of negativity in Dominica and has encouraged the country’s citizens to speak positively about the island.

He was addressing the official opening and handing over of the China- funded Yorke Valley Bridge recently.

“We always must continue to be positive, we must not always be negative towards our country,” he said. “This is our country and there are people who say they love Dominica, but whenever you hear them speak it is about bringing down Dominica.”

According to Skerrit, Dominica suffered a major disaster and while there are some persons who are working hard to help each other and the country, there are others with arms folded when there is so much to be done.

“This is an important question I believe that each one of us must ask ourselves in this country and to recognize who is really serious about Dominica and Dominicans, and the well-being of Dominica and Dominicans, and I am sure you have the answer in your minds. The answer is very clear.” he stated.

The Prime Minister pointed out that his government is committed to modernizing the country and to building the world’s first climate resilient nation, “because the world is with us, we have to be with ourselves.”

    Too many empty vessels in Dominica. What is Solid Waste Management doing about all these empty vessels on DNO commentary box? Time to start rolling the garbage trucks.

  2. August 10, 2018

    Whatever precipitates a crisis in DA and whenever a crisis precipitates, these empty vessels use it to their own advantage and make the most noise. Empty vessels make the most noise.

    These people are uneducated and ghetto. Anything that precipitates a crisis in Dominica, these guys jump on the band wagon and start lambasting and criticizing and use the crisis to their advantage in order to score political points. Some of them want to offer advice and solutions and their heads are full of corn rows and platts. I don’t care how many degrees and GCEs you have, even if you have more degrees than a right angle, you cannot represent your country and its people as a leader not well groomed and presentable. You are an idiot. What does Vital have to offer? An empty bag of coal when you shake it. The same goes to Linton. He dresses up in his three-piece funeral suit along with idiots like Lugay, Hector, disrespectful Joshua Francis. They talk about investment agenda. None of them has ever taken a course in Investments. They need to first invest in a real job and come back. Now they have a foreigner representing Soufriere. These guys are crazy and boom boom clats.

    I think he doesn’t get it. After 14 years of this government Dominica is still ranked in the west right after Haiti. Does he need another 14 years? if honest he would agree we need a change, hence the negativity.

      Why do you write such nonsense. Your comment is exactly what The PM is addressing. Can you provide facts and evidence to substantiate the nonsense you have written. You saying and believing such a thing does not make it a fact, such nonsense only resonates in your mind which stems from your political partisan beliefs so long for harboring such beliefs about your country.

    I totally agree with the Prime Minister, but should qualify that by saying it starts with him. There have been times when the PM as has Linton inject negativity in their public addresses when a positive comment should have sufficed. At this point in time Dominicans should make effort to show pride in the country. The present political atmosphere in the country, however is not conducive to this endeavour. The PM need to extend the olive branch to the opposition if they refuse the attempt to unite the country then it will be clear who has the country’s interest at heart. After all for any public policy to be implemented you need buy in from the people. You cannot make Dominica a climate resilient country without all Dominicans being on board. Policies are best implemented when government employ a bottom-up approach rather than a top-down approach. Just to clarify, I am not blue or red, just a Dominican that remember how sweet Dominica use to be, all is not lost, there is still time.

    Skerrit, enough of your just longing for unity in Dominica. There is much more you can do which you haven’t even begun to do. You denigrate your opponents with the help of your voice,Tony and Kairi FM. Some of your utterances are borderline mob rule, eg. you telling your supporters in St Joseph to see and treat the opposition as traitors and not Dominicans. I don’t want to sound like you and rehash the ugly past but will exhort you to begin to act in ways that will be seen by the Dominican public as you leading by example. Start by respecting the opposition leader and others who are on the other side of you politically. Schedule eg a domino match between government and opposition teams, something to break the ice, followed by you and him having working sessions on ideas to move the country forward. You can schedule visits to different villages or touring of public projects for example the new hotel in Portsmouth. There are many such gestures you can come up with.

    I don’t claim any party but honestly, the way D/ca is being managed is embarrassing. If St. Lucia is our sister island, one of us is adopted or have different father because they’re miles ahead of us in terms of development. Whenever I voice disappointment or anger, it’s not towards Dominica itself but to the politicians that have the country stagnant.

        Stop using maria as a crutch Dominica was going nowhere before Maria, Dominica had no national plan for economic development just a plan for staying in power, Houston plan is to be American energy capital and harvey was a setback what plan did Maria setback please enlighten us.

        July 25, 2018

        Did you miss the part where I said that I don’t claim any party? The truth might hurt but it’s still the truth. The opposition and the government are both jokes. Dominica has been mismanaged for a long time, and yes, I know Maria was a major setback but the country was stagnant and in decline before Maria and Erika happened. Don’t try to lecture me on Harvey and what it did to Houston, I know about that situation all too well.

Before you seek enlightenment you need to dispel ignorance. You writing such a comment does not look like someone seeking enlightenment. I wish the city of Hoston well

      Why should the PM direct his comments towards Tony, Clarence, and Simeon. The PM leader of The Government of Dominica is not accountable only to these three men. He is accountable to the people of Dominica, they put him in office, and that’s who he needs to address, why don’t you stop your silliness and take hid from what The PM has said.

    The DLP has overstayed its time in government. It is undeniable that the longer a politician or a party stays in power, the more corrupt they become. Remember this truism, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It is a fact also that when a leader spends an inordinate amount of time at the helm of government he /she develops dictatorial tendencies. I will forever repeat this because I’m convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that it’s true. Mr. Skerrit’s singular objective is to retain power at any cost as he is mortally afraid of all the corruption that would be unearthed once he leaves office. Instead of Unite and lead, Skerrit has destroyed Dominica with his Divide and rule failed politics.

      Wow, here you go again writing such nonsense. How can you say The Government overstayed it’s time in Government. Why do you take it upon yourself to say such nonsense.

        Gary, your comments are so imbecilic and amount to unadulterated gibberish. Why do you feel that the PM is persecuted when he is contradicted? He’s not infallible. In fact, the PM is a man of moral frailties. Get a grip of yourself, Gary, and stop your asinine criticisms of people who only wish for a better life for themselves and their fellow citizens.

    This man talks of being patriotic yet none of his children with his wife were born on this lands while being a seating prime minister. You made sure your future is not tied to this country. The negativity is your actions. Having Chinese labourers when unemployment is so high but wait you engineered this cause there has been a generation or 2 who has no skills training through the dismantling of the gsp program and not having technical schools which allowed for placement of trained technicians so now we have been left to be beggars and uneducated in the social science of life. People no longer know what it means to be a citizen of this country which made it easy for you skerrit to do your illegal bidding. Just see how disrespectful you have treated the parliamentary representatives on the opposition side by having a caretaker supersede them when they are the legal representatives voted in by the constituents. Then you speak of negativity and Dominic’s interest.

      One last just take a look at how you have dealt with the first prime Minister of the commonwealth of Dominica,Patrick John. As a former prime Minister this man should not have to ask anyone for assistance despite his differences with the state, this shows the person you are and the country you’ve built. Then you speak of negativity, vindictive as a person you’ve demonstrated to be. It is said that the greatest trick the devil ever pulled off was to fake his existence, so continue having people believe it’s not you who is responsible for these actions but have them think it’s your followers and administration!

    How do you skerrit plan on building a resilient nation when there has yet to be any moves to change the culture of the construction industry. How many new architects and engineers has planning employed? What are the new regulations for building and selling of lands in flood zones? How are these activities being mitigated against? How are we to develop our internal professionals so as to improve the culture to be more resilient towards construction and life in a whole? How much more authority has been granted to planning to policing construction?but most importantly how are the minds which has been fueling this system gonna be the ones to solve its issues?

    Thou hypocrite, pick the beam out of your eye so you can see clearly to pick the that from your brother’s eye. Mr. Skerrit and his Senior Counsel are the most bellicose, uncouth, belligerent and narcissistic living beings in Dominica. Sir, the rest of the country takes its cue from the leader. If the leadership is corrupt, uncaring, dishonest, coarse, abusive so becomes the rest of the citizenry. Mr. PM, you seize every minute opportunity to verbally bad-mouth the opposition and marginalize their supporters. Negativity flows from your mouth like a waterfall. Thou Hypocrite!

     Anything negative people like me say about our country, we have a right to be negative; understand you that clown have you (yourself ) to blame for all our negativity. As for me this little cockroach here, if you took my advise the few times we communicated, rather than lying to me which caused me to turn on you I would not hang you in our person blog! 

    Roosevelt I know when you are ready; conveniently you get acute amnesia, snap out of it and remember I told you if is one good thing you do in your life: you must build an International Airport for our people; I told you if you did that you would  rule Dominica for the rest of your life!

    But who am I?

    I am a little cockroach from Wesley, so you took Gonzales advise even over the Government of China who told you that the only way Dominica will begin to make some progress is when you build an International Airport in the country!

      July 24, 2018

      Continue:

      You had an opportunity to ask for financial help from the Chines the moment they brought up the subject. Instead you took the advise from the man from St. Vincent who conspired with the Birds of Antigua; to use any means to prevent Dominica from getting an International Airport.

      The reason behind the conspiracy, was to ensure Antigua remains the Hub. Gonzales decided if they allow us to have an International Airport, Whereas Dominica’s location is central in the Caribbean Antigua would loose its position as the Hub to Dominica. 

      And so with your stupidity, you helped Ralph to make an idiot out of you when you brought him to Dominica and put him on your platform to talk crap and tell your supporters we do need International Airport all our Nation need is the fart you done at Melville Hall.

      And your supporters clapped! 

      While, he was making a fool out of you; He was building Argyle International in St. Vincent; which is in operation!

    My problem with well respected news outlets like DNO and Q95 including well respected talkshow host like Matt is, they reporting the lies and propaganda of Skerrit’, which is ok, but not one of them will say they personally asked Skerrit questions concerning his statements and here is how he answered. So sinve I don’t know what Skerrit meant by being “positive” I have to conclude that based on previous statents made by him, being positive means to agree and believe statements like ” Dominica is too free”. “Dominica does not need an opposition”. ” Brothers and sisters if you see them in their car, on the plane, at the grocery store, at a funeral call them (members of the opposition) traitors”. “Go to hell… it’s not your damn business”, ” those bastards” and many many more positive statements that time would not allow me to type. If we agree, believe, repeat and even take Skerrit advise and call the opposition names when we meet them, he would consider us to be…

Don’t he knows that there’s a high level of wrong doings on his part for this to happen :?: He has started realizing that the voices of the people are against him and that the time of his downfall is nigh! You that rogue prime mistake is the one who has sown the seed of negativity in the island,so therefore you are reaping the consequences! Within a year upon hijacking the seat of Prime Minister, you accumulated land worth$1,000.000. on a salary of $5,000. You kept it secret and even defrauded the state of the land transaction taxes. When you were challenged about having properties,you denied having any properties,but after you were caught and the evidence was presented about the land,you then confessed.

She told me how she began to dream of her marriage, future husband, and her role as his wife. She was very positive all along until a week later she understood the man went to the US where he impregnated a another mans woman and within days had to perform an emergency marriage with her, in Dominica, while she stayed in limbo. She told me she was so badly hurt that her BP almost doubled and, her mother ended at the PMH simply because she was positive believing a lie!

      Take a look at all the islands  geographically from Guyana in the South, on the main land of South America to Jamaica, and all of the islands between north and south America, and make some comparisons, you will find Dominica, to be the poorest, and most undeveloped place withing that geographical area.

    Look I felt a headache, went to the doctor, doc says it’s a cancer but according to Skerrit I am positive and therefore I deny the truth and believe it shall be well and take no treatment even when I in pain. Skerrit’s definition of being positive is to deny the obvious and instead believe his lies. In other words, we know today is Monday July 23, but he wants us to believe it’s Wednesday. It’s like when Dr. Fontaine told us to prepare for a very strong category 4 hurricane Maria and we should be prepared because we would get up next day in shock with the devastation we would see; but Skerrit told us it’s a weak storm that would not linger long and therefore no need to stockpile food, water and hurricane supplies, until we found out Maria was a huge cat 5 hurricane that destroyed us, yet, because we believed the lie of Skerrit we we’re unprepared and had no food and water. People Skerrit wants us to believe his lies and be positive about his lies and deception wrapped in…

    So if the Devil, Satan, Lucifer and father of lies who, when he opens his mouth we already know is a lie, must I be positive about the lies of the devil or, should I not expose him for who he is? I am not referring to Skerrit but the devil, the great liar himself ok.
    Now concerning Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit about being positive, I must say that I take every statement of his with a grain of salt and therefore it’s impossible for me to be his type of positive because to me, his definition of positive is to believe his lies and make my plans based on being positive about the jokes that he makes. As long as Skerrit is PM Dominica will go nowhere. I am very positive and optimistic about Dominica but will remain very pessimistic about the future of Dominica as long as Skerrit is the PM

    Dear mr. Skerrit are the leaderof this country. If negativity eminates from its citzens it means that they are unhappy. This is a reflection on your leadership and says more about your demeanour rather than that of the citizens you are supposed to inspire.

    Honestly Skerrit you are starting to disturb my spirit. I do not follow any party but to much nonsense is going on in Dominica under your government. Speaking of ills within a country does not mean that you are negative, it shows that your care about doing what is right. If speaking of ills is negative then Martin Luther King should not be a hero, he should of been tried for treason because he spoke of the ills in America regarding racism and segregation. No one said he was negative, he is celebrated as a hero for championing the cause of what is right.

      Let Skerrit talk his talk. I recently stayed in DA for a few days and spoke to quite a few people. The people are dissatisfied with Skerrit and he knows it. Within the cabinet there growing division and it stands to reason that the entire regime is going to implode soon. Watch this space.

    It starts with the leader. You have paraded the globe talking negatively about your people to get money. You have told them we are incapable, dont have talent and cannot do anything for ourselves. These folks think Dominicans are poor helpless people and give us crap out of pity. Only fools think that is ok. To control a country you only have to control its leadership. You have been a puppet remora fish sucking on to the big shark veny and now the shark has lost its teeth you trying find another to suck on to. I love what Dominica once use to be. You my friend have stained paradise. Dominica will meed alot of clorox and bleach clean those stains and lots of repairs when you gone. We will call out your BS and dont try to confuse that with love for country or negativity.

    People are complaining because you cannot lead then to the promise land. After 18 years of circling the wilderness with no results what else do you expect? People are talking the truth, they are not being negative. It seems to me that in your labor camp truth equals negativity that’s why you opt to lie so much. You know you cannot deliver on your promises so before the next election you’re gonna tell the people give you five more years to complete what you never started. Since 2005 all you asking for five more years after a flopped first tearm but all you asking for more. Come the next general election it would have been 20 years for you useless bunch in office but you will still want five more. Tell me what all can do in 5 years that all you could not have done in 20 years? Best all you just tell the population to give all you their lifetime

    We have to be careful not to fall into the narrative of mind-benders. Skerrit must first be honest with himself and if he can’t do that at least be honest with the people he claims he loves.
    The negativity in Dominica is spurred from the continued misinformation and at times no information from the Powers that be. More than that many Dominicans feel hostage in their land, they are being marginalized. Further, the progress made in Dominica over the past 18 years have not been impressive at all, however the Cabinet is the biggest in the OECS.. There is a saying that goes, if you want to know who your oppressors are just understand who it is you’re not allowed to criticize.

    PM Skerrit the citizens are talking about the wrong doing of your led DLP .

    So the question is why don’t you stop the wrong doing if you care so much about the negativity views expressed in the country.

    So because people are waking up to the truth they’re being negative? This guy must be an alien from mars. I want to know how it possible to talk about a negative situation in a positive way if you don’t lie about it. That’s the sad reality in Dominica, once you not supporting labor nonsense you negative meaning laborats are the only positive thinking people on the island

    Skerrit the negativity starts and ends with YOU and your 17 other MISLEADERS… Opposition leaders are referred to as terrorist,you have called upon your zealots to go to opposition supporters when they are in their car, at the supermarket,in the cemetery,etc,etc,and call them traitor,any several other things.Are you suffering from memory loss?Is it that you are feeling that the carpet is being yanked from under your feet and you are now losing it?This DLP has failed Dominicans in do many ways…
    Where The Wicked Rule The People Mourn
    This DLP is a wicked and Evil Party.
