PM Skerrit takes aim at people “who are prepared to destroy the future of Dominica”

Skerrit said there are people who are prepared to destroy Dominica’s future

Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, has advised citizens to “let your conscience lead you in deciding who you believe is more capable of running the affairs of the country.”

At the signing of agreements for the creation of special loan facilities at the AID Bank for the agriculture and tourism sectors this morning, he spoke out against those who vote with personal motives, with no regard for the future of the country.

“There are people in this country who are prepared to destroy the future of Dominica, and vote in people who are not competent, who are not serious, who are not interested in the affairs of people and our country because they do not like me, or they do not like the Labour Party,” Skerrit remarked.

Additionally, the Prime Minister commented that those who criticize the government are incapable of withstanding criticism themselves.

“There are people who cannot stand the test of scrutiny, and they’re not even yet in government,” he said “They talk about accountability, transparency, good governance, but when questions are posed to them to ask for the facts, the documents, they get angry, they get violent, almost ready to be charged for battery. And, that’s the people we want to elect and call our government? I have no animosity towards anybody in this country.”

Coincidentally, on Monday, Opposition Leader, Lennox Linton, walked out of an interview with the host of state-owned DBS Radio’s ‘Talking Point’, Kamala Jno. Baptiste-Aaron. The interview was scheduled to discuss the 2016/2017 National Budget.

Jno Baptiste-Aaron repeatedly insisted that the Opposition Leader substantiate his views on matters he stated, while Linton demanded that she stick to the script. He eventually accused Jno. Baptiste Aaron of being a “rabid political animal,” stating that she was attempting to “score one for the Roosevelt Skerrit administration.”

    Dominica is a beautiful country.However when one travels worldwide and see the other countries out there ,I must pounder .why is our country so backward. There are no decent places to socialise at night.Roseau stinks, no parks for kids to run and play on swings,no nightclubs for adults,no theatres. So tell me with all the hotels that are on stream, where are the entertainment for the visitors in the evening?. And what about the middle class kids that are growing up ,where can they comfortably socialise with there friends of the same socio economic background? Are the so called ministers and elites of Dominica ever pondered on the fact that their children will one day need to feel comfortable in their own country. What are you guys putting in place for your kids and the population at large. The most saddest thing is that these people travel all the time and they see for themselves.Yet nothing is being done to improve the lifestyles of the people. Lord help us!!!!!!!

    According to Skeritt, there are people who cannot stand the test of scrutiny and they’re not even yet in Government. They talk about accountability, transparency, good governance, but when questions are posed to them to ask for facts, the documents, they get angry, almost ready to be charged for battery. His comment appeared to be directed at Mr. Linton. Even though Mr. Linton was right and his Press Secretary was wrong. I hope he had the opportunity to listen to his budget presentation of 2012/2013, and come to the realization, his PS during her interview with Mr. Linton made a fool of him and his office. To put it bluntly, she lied to Dominicans when she said, the money his administration had deposited in the Aide Bank for use by farmers was never done before. In a real country, his press secretary would be fire for the bad information. According to a famous talk show host, “it is better to be considered a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubts.”

    Reading the comments its a shame because everyone is saying that the DLP/PM has done nothing for the country.

    let us be open mined and come clean to the much needed progress and development that is happening or happen in the country over the years, one may say am for the PM that’s ok but am just calling it as I see it. let us all get from under the covers and face with reality because we Dominica is getting a new hospital and its not for the DLP/PM but for the PEOPLE AND THE COUNTRY.

    supporting a next party does not mean we should not give the praise when the praises are due!

    One love , One heart, Let us get together and feel alright.

    The future of the next generations of Dominicans will be affected by the debt they inherit. Spending money the country doesn’t have – or which it speculates it will receive through its economic citizenship program – appears to be the incumbent’s strategy for retaining power. This act alone surely has the potential to ‘destroy the future of Dominica’. Add to that the perception of international banks that Caribbean islands such as Dominica are simply tax avoidance or money laundering vehicles – again through economic citizenship programs – means it will become increasingly difficult for future generations of Dominicans to do business abroad. Words and politicking will not impact the future, but poorly thought-out, instant-gratification economic strategies will.

    Mr. Skerrit, after 16 years in office, your work should speak for you because got the best opportunity to take Dominica forward. First of all, you came in after the death of two PM’s in office, and you had the sympathy of almost all of us. You inherited a situation where bitter enemies like supporters of DLP and DFP rallied behind you. Bro you put a 17% vat on us which gave you extra money to run the country. Under your reign we began to pay hospital fees, license fees increased, you had China and Chavez giving you lots of money and, the citizenship program, and a bias speaker.

    You have done the least to develop Dominica. Yes, you have developed yourself above measure as well as some of your former and present ministers and a few top supporters. But the rest of us, 90% of us and 98% of all Dominicans have become poorer. In St. Lucia the banana industry, tourism, and foreign investment booming. Here you killed all and turned us into a nation that is dependent on you for everything

    Jon skerrit you talk as if dominica is your personal property but it is not. Every time I take a walk into the city of Roseau I come across a new vagrant another beggar a strange dirty homeless face another pauper. If it wasn’t so I wouldn’t say it so but sad and shame to say it is so. You spend a considerable mount of time defending g a party bad reputation and giving people the impression that labor la travai yet you call on unity of Dominican. You have yet to respect the constitutional rights of the voting public and accept that persons are free to have a political voice without discrimination hence the many jobs are being given to your party supporters and they are being strategically positiowd to defend you like they are begging for a meal. You make available over 140 million dollars available to the chinos to build hospital and only 15 million to he rented out to Dominicans in loans to be repaid. SHAME

      The people you see are on drugs. In the past Dominica only had Marijuana, in modern times its all kinds of drugs that are destroying people lives. So you quarrel isn’t with the government its with Drug dealers.

      • My question to you is who allow the drugs to be imported into the country?

        You should know that the government; the one man government is responsible for that!

        Don’t you remember the United States of America, gave to Dominica at least three vesicles to guard the cost of Dominica, to prevent the smuggling of drugs into the country. Skerrit left then on land rather than using them for the purpose they were donated.

        Remember the day when the American official presented the boats, Skerrit responded by giving the United States diplomat, two bottles of cheap Dominica white rum.

        So, the problem of drugs in the country, all boils down to Skerrit inability to detour the importation of cocaine into the country!

You governance and stewardship is questionable and under your failed leadership has brought Dominica to shame of begging, hungry, jobless and poverty. Shame on you and the ranks of your government.
    Mr Skerrit, my question to you is: “let your conscience lead you in deciding who you believe is more capable of running the affairs of the country.” Certainly not you sir.

    “There are people in this country who are prepared to destroy the future of Dominica, and vote in people who are not competent, who are not serious, who are not interested in the affairs of people and our country.”

    As a laborite this statement by Mr. Skerrit makes me feel insulted and whipped. First, it is alright to play politics, but two years after winning your forth term in office and, during a signing agreement at AID bank, this should not be used as a platform to lash out at those who supported the opposition and refer to them as people prepared to destroy the country. If anything a wise PM and one who really cares about the future of Dominica, would use this opportunity to try to reach out to everyone because we need to unite this country.

    Mr. Skerrit, you made me feel very scared for the future of Dominica. In fact now you gave me every reason to believe you are afraid of the opposition, and as a result, you cannot concentrate on a plan to develop Dominica.

    Roosevelt, I believe you have become insecure and unstable. Instead of facing the opposition leader yourself to debate the budget you sent your press person . What is the future of Dominica under your regime Roosevelt? There is unemployment, industry is all but gone and be honest, the majority of us are struggling even to feed ourselves.Is that your legacy Roosevelt, the future of our little country after all, those years at the helm? You messed up badly my friend and I say that without malice but great sadness in my heart.

  19. Roosevelt Skerrit you as well as all who are reading your ridiculous comments knows that you are nothing more than a hypocrite! The majority of people who vote in the country are not at liberty to vote according to their conscience. ..it’s almost impossible for anyone to vote against you after they take the money, food, and building materials you give to them.

    Once they accept your bribe, they wrestle with their conscience, finally deciding to repay you with their votes for the free food you donated.

    If it is because you have the Chines in Dominica talking crap about State of the Art Hospital you believe you are God gift to Dominica; therefore you are more capable to run the country, to me is an indication you are not in control of you faculties, you have exalted yourself, and that shall be your defeat. I wish you would click on the link in green and view what the Chines gave to the Afghans as a State of the Art…

    Prime Minister Sir, just continue with your work as you are doing it now, do not forget that you were not appointed by the person will of the people, but by the Will of God Almighty, through them–therefore your appointment is from God, by the people with conscience, God Himself in their mind.

    Keep that thought and allow God to guide your ways, the judgement of man cannot faze you, Sir–nothing that is done against God\’s Will can prevail.

    Just do your work with the wisdom, insight, fortitude, understanding, courage that God feeds to you –remain humble and give Him the glory in all your success.

    Know that He will have vengeance against your enemies–Your Honorable Sir, just hold on to your trust in God and watch Him shine His Light of Love through you. Blessings!

    Mr Honorable PM I have a few questions. What future do you see for Dominica? When all our bright young minds are leaving for anywhere? Do you realize that Dominicans are now migrating to unfamiliar places just to get away? What are the incentives put in place to keep our young people at home? Is Dominica now becoming a welfare state? Why is everyone going to you, are your ministers not competent to handle anything?
    Personally I had high hopes for Dominica because it’s been a longtime that Dominica is in a rot, stagnant and moving to nowhere. Our political climate is rife with discord, innuendos, lies ,bitterness, one sided ness, e.t.c and nobody is doing nothing to change it, nobody. You as a young leader, I expected so much more. It is sad and hurtful to see the kind foolishness going on and nobody cares, our people act like they are in a daze. Did you witness what happened the last election? Churches, places of prayer and refuge became embroiled in politics and malfeasance.

Village Council chairman and chairwomen and councilors giving people maypwi if they are perceived to be affiliated to a different political view. Dominica belongs to all of us, it is time we stop this notion of thinking the party in power owns the country, that is a lie. We are going down a treacherous road of decadence and vileness ask Blaise Compaore. Maurice Bishop said “the masses will cripple you, they can take only so much”. Too much rampant ignorance is the order of the day ,insatiable appetite for vengeance which is as obscene as it is unconscionable, frivolous and vexatious abuse of process and a scandalous waste of public funds. Are we really Dominica? Do we really care? Look around the regions and then look at us. When a high school in a smaller OECS country can boast of 7 Dominicans with a staff of 12, tell me something…

    One person should be looking at his successor soon as he or she takes up a position higher than yesterday. The reason is no one knows about tomorrow. So PM if you are to do a search of the conscience to see who is affecting the future of the country you have to stop on you.but you so busy thinking politics you forgot to see and ensure that all the projects that you started are still waiting for finishing touches.

    I have previously stated it. Since you do not support DLP you have much to say against this Party and namely, the PM. Sensible people should know that. You critics do not deceive us.
    I endorse what the PM stated. It is always some of those from within the country, those who consistently criticize, who do their utmost to destroy the country and all the good that has been done and is being done. They project they are enemies of the State and do not want anything good for the country.
    There is a God above. He knows your motives. Take note. One day, what you sow you will reap. Your words will fall back on you. I hate to think the repercussion of your action on you, as what goes around comes around.

    I don’t know why Skeritt believes before him, there was not a Dominica. Why does he believe he is the only one who can run the affairs of Dominica. If you are playing table tennis, you might not need anyone to assist you in winning a game, but when you are playing football you need the help of ten players in order to win. You talk as though you are the only one who stood difficult times in Dominica, before you, there were Miss Charles and Mr. James. Certain Dominicans will tell you that Mr. Edison James was the best Prime Minister to have Governed Dominica. In fact, many Dominicans have given you the best in corruption award, therefore, when you talk about the test of scrutiny, you should watch yourself in the mirror. You talk about anger, let me remind you, ” go to hell, it is none of your dam business where labor party get its money from.” “No law no constitution can prevent me from being nominated as a candidate for the Vielle Case constituency.”

    Why does the truth hurt us so much? If I am not one of those who makes it the reason I wake up in the morning to bring down my country, what the Prime Minister said would not bother me. But if his words stings me, then I should asked myself is that what I really do? And therefore, how can I change and promote my country like a person who really wants what is best for Dominica and Dominicans.

    Wonderful initiative from the PM and his Government. Wish these opportunities were available in my days. Hope those who will use the funds will be successful in their endeavors. Another A+ for this administration, coming on the heels of the Ground Breaking Ceremony of the New National Hospital.

Someone walked out of a program geared to merely oppress instead of informing the public of facts and perspective.

    Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, has advised citizens to “let your conscience lead you in deciding who you believe is more capable of running the affairs of the country.”

    Mr. Skerrit my God fearing conscience is telling me that you are the worse person to lead Dominica and, furthermore, My God fearing conscience is telling me that as long as you are the Prime Minister of Dominica our country will continue to reverse and move from bad to more bad, because nothing that is built on lies, deceptions and corruption will fall. You will try to build but as soon as you build, or, before you even finish build, it will fall.

    • @Mr. Mention August 9, 2016

      Your conscience is no where \”God Fearing\” for you would not speak that sentiment above. Conscience in you has to be God, Himself, He is the One who appointed PM Skerrit for Dominica–He has His reasons, and no one has the right to judge His decisions, but only to trust in what He has initiated–that is what \”God Fearing\” means.

      I ask you one question: Do you really believe that a God of Love and Righteousness would allow a lying, deceptive, this, that, and the other bad names that you all label PM Skerrit to be–to rule over you, the one with the God fearing conscience, for 16 years heading into 20 years? My answer is no; what is yours?

      If your conscience was God fearing, you would not speak that futile and dark thought, because God is of Light and Fruitfulness–that thing that came from your mind was not planted from your conscience–as a matter of fact, you do not have a conscience–take it or leave it!

      Not every Dominican. You also speak on behalf of those I know who reside in Dominica. They do not fall into your category, your narrow-minded mentality, negative and judgmental attitude.
      Look to yourself and judge yourself. Let people and intelligent ones at that judge for themselves. They do not need your advice.
      If you were smart you would know that everyone is not one and the same. Who are you anyway? How dare you judge them all and place them in the same basket? :twisted: :mrgreen: :twisted: :mrgreen: :twisted: :mrgreen:

      Speak for yourself and allow each and every Dominicans to do the same. Your sentiment is yours alone against PM Skerrit.

      Stop, look, and listen, and you will discover that the majority of Dominicans–the people with conscience, which is the Home of God\’s Holy Spirit, making us a God fearing people, we do not share that sentiment of yours. No thanks!

    This psychology that Skerrit keeps playing on the minds of locals is simply appalling. So now- every criticism of HIM and his administration equals bringing down Dominica? Strrrupps. If you need to see who is prepared to destroy DA’s future —Pick up a mirror Skerrit.

      If it were Lennox who made that statement you would applaud him. This is how bias some of you are. I have concluded, it depends on whose side you are on. This is why your debasing comment has no clout nor should it be given credence.

    in on breath he is saying “let your conscience lead you in deciding who you believe is more capable of running the affairs of the country” but goes on to say in another breath “There are people in this country who are prepared to destroy the future of Dominica, and vote in people who are not competent, who are not serious, who are not interested in the affairs of people and our country because they do not like me, or they do not like the Labour Party,” ………. smh really Skerrit?

    On the rare occasions when you perform your duties that you were elected to do, you show your face in public and throw mapwis at people like we are in Lagon drinking cane rum and D-Special Rum. Even that Baroness woman flew down to Dominica and told our suffering citizens to “Sousay Sel,” because of dissent.

    Mr. Prime Minister, let’s do a quick audit of your administration. You spent upwards of $140 million dollars to expand and upgrade the main airport in the mouth of a raging river. You started a 50 room guest house in the swamp in Portsmouth without proper drainage. By the way, it’s still not finished after three years plus. Marigot hospital was forced to close down because of mold. The Princess Margaret Hospital is a total mess. Agriculture is dead! The abattoir was constructed near a major water catchment area. Unemployment is at an all-time high on the island. You spent$ 50 million plus on geothermal energy in Laudat and told us we would be selling electricity to Martinique. That too is a bust! The boat for farmers produce materialized into another colossal bust. So I know that you’re talking about yourself and it’s sad that you must expose your dirty laundry in public for all to see.

      Hi Anthony, Great article, so factual. Your forgot to mention, the amount of money spent on building a palace, while people in D/A are without monthly salaries. My wish is for the people in Dominica to wake up. He is a very manipulating person. God help our people.

    With respect to those who cannot take criticism, the PM is so right…Why for example upon criticized, a leader would tell its ideologues,slaves,beggars and zealots to go to the car windows of the opposition.,confront them at the supermarkets,funerals,even on the plane and call them traitors…Thing is the police did not even question this leader who was stirring up civil war in the country…That’s why I SHALL always reject DLP!!!

    Dominica, a once vibrant and productive country, is reduced to selling passports under Skerrit and the DLP’s watch over the pass 16 years and now for him to go, he is talking about future

      You do nothing but criticize. Productive in what manner? The more sinful and godless people become, the worst the economy/country. Do not blame it on the PM. Blame it on all you critics.
      The PM does not send you or anyone else to sin against God. This is your problem. You can’t even appreciate the good which has been done in Dominica. Pray to God for a caring heart and also ask Him to spare Dominica from any pestilence and disaster.

        You forget, Dominica was exporting over a 100million dollars worth of banana to the UK? DCP was exporting 50millions worth every year?, you forget Dominica was the breadbasket of the caribbean? under whose watch did the last banana boat left Dominica? DCP close down under whose watch? What is our main export again after 16 years of Skerrit and the DLP? so stop your laim excuses such as blaming god and face the reality that Skerrit and his policies have failed and failed miserable

    Skerritt boy you are a joke! Who is more incapable than you? You are so incapable that to announce a date for an election you have to pay a bajan man to write as speach for you. Everything you do is dictated by one of your many advisors, many of whom vote for you for personal reasons and not because they have Dominica’s interest at heart. You and many of your freedomite friends have hatred for the letters UWP and even more so for the people who represent the party. I am fed up with your none sense it is time you pack up and give the country a time to spread its wings and develope with a
    Leader who is not so consumed with self. Do you think that you are God that people shouldn’t criticise you? My heart bleeds for those people who are being taken for a ride by you while you continue to feather you nest. When skerritt have you ever participated in a press conference to answer question by the press? You dictate what questions you should be asked and which you will answer to.

In case you are blind or pretending to be senile, the country has no future. You have single-handedly destroyed it. Basically, the country has gone to !!

    You have been destroying the future of Dominica for 16 years. The sad part is when you’re done you and your offspring will not be here. DNO this is no coincidence. You guys should say “ironically” not “coincidentally”. Not all of us are dumb as to what transpired and what the intentions were. Lennox Linton need to realize that he is a hated man by skerrit and his henchmen and he should never trust any olive branch gesture. Skeritt means exactly the opposite when he says he holds no animosity.. I will say again the DLP is not a political party. It is a MOB/gang with Don Skeritt at the head chair. Our political discord have deteorated to garbage and hatred. All the guy is asking is better for Dominica. One day the bottom must drop off. Keep it up Skeritt keep it up.

    Skerrit you are the first person on the list who have destroyed Dominica because 20 years aback Dominica was more in advance and at the latest time when Pierre Charles was Prime Minister the country was taking a new breath of life..There is time for the goose and a time for the gander.Every thing in live must have an end whether we like it or not,Keeping on filling your pocket and your family’s pockets till the time comes for this to stop.Dominica is not your family’s property ,but all Dominican’s property.Now loans are advertised on the news for who ever want to take a loan ,people need jobs in order to help in the growth of the economy in order for the investors to pay their loans…Any gov’t who wants to rule a country for an unlimited number of years are a corrupted gov’t…and when a country is led by corrupted people ;poverty crawls in little by little and this is the case for Dominica..how can a country survive without any growth?What do we produce?
