Dominica News Online has been reliably informed that Jennifer Wallace Lafond is no longer a nominee for President of Dominica.
DNO was further informed by reliable sources that Charles Savarin is next in line to be nominated for president by the government.
According to the sources, Savarin resigned from his job as minister of national security on Wednesday in order to pave the way for his nomination.
There is no word yet as to who will replace him as minister.
Concerning Lafond, the sources said she possesses a US passport and this may contravene 32 1 A of the Constitution which states “a person shall not be qualified to be elect or appointed as representative or senator if he is by virtue of his own act under acknowledgement of allegiance or adherence to a foreign power of state.”
It is also said that she is suffering from ill health.
Lafond was nominated by the government after speaker of the house, Alix Boyd-Knights, withdrew her nomination citing safety concerns.
Didn’t the PM say that the Constitution couldn’t stop him? Why is it still in force? (I am being facetious!)
What about Mr or MRS Ossie Lewis.
OK,I give up, my flag for sale
that not coming through. next on skerrit list Lennox Honeychurch
Am a labourite but i will surely not stand or salute to Charles Saverin.! Come on Skerrit don’t destroy your regime with Charlo at the top!
allow the man to do his job. he will be a good President. give the man a chance
President Charles Savarin! I can support.
Mr. Hector John, Leader of the opposition, please open your eyes and nominate someone credible… I have a suggestion, Mr. or Mrs. Dorothy Leevy, if they will accept but please make good suggestions. Neither, labor, nor, freedom, nor any party at all, for love of country should accept this choice as President of our Dominica. Please represent us and nominate somebody credible.
High school DROPUT!
Labor items moo moo now
Fellas resigning to “pave the way” wii boyy… hahahaha, aye, Dominica politics have jokes wii. Calypso 2014 will be Comedy 2014 man? hahahaha.
The Kalinago people must stand up against Charles Saverin – remember his comment in the 80’s regarding Portsmouth people.
Allu forget i had to make my child at home when he put d country on a 47 day strike… and back den he was just the leader of the union now president.. wi fini bat… Jah Help Us!!
Charles Savarin almost died the other day ! How good is His health?
He caused another President to flee the Country how can He now come and fill that seat ?
Amazing some fellas good ! He led a revolution against this same Party and now holds Minister of Security! and now is being nominated for President!
Wake Up People!
hey can u get him to come see this juicy butt play with that puss
To all of u who on here that feel froggy jump Charlo not Alix Boyd,the main part of office u all should be worried about is the pm post u all not crying but the president u all have up.Yeh it was bad for Charlo to say what he had said but on the other hand u can tell how he felt about his country cause when he saw a man calling on EU to not send funds that would help your fellow country man,its so sad uwp and their followers will bring this island to its knees what i dont get when Edison put his own president in back then why was there not all this hoopla i hope one day we will be our bothers keeper and not be so hatefull.
Eddison James, Para Riviere,Thomson Fontaine ,Ron Green ,are choices or Maybe Ian Douglas or anybody UWP wants..even Sabroache should be considered. what the heck anyway ..we will still be in the bottom of the food chain.
that not going to come through. next on skerrit list lennox honeychurch
Cucum and mamies for president.
But seriously speaking what is wrong with Skerrit? Can’t the government find a more suitable and balanced person in Dominica who can command the respect of all Dominicans? There are so many well respected distinguished sons and daughters of D/a are who would be more than ready to serve. It is unbelievable what is going on in D/a
Only leaders with bobol does switch like tha,The people should allowed to choose the president.t
But wait, how desperate is the pm, it is obvious that this man has something up his sleeve- total dominance. There is something rotten going on in this our lovely country. Dominicans open allu eyes. Mondieu.
Not a bad choice…that’s the man who made civil servants know money and many are enjoying the benefits now. I am very sure he will not withdraw because of bloggers, security reason. ill health or opposition pressure. 18 – 3..He is already in……so save you all comments for the official ceremony…
STOP BRINGING DOWN YOUR OWN!!!!!
Vote CrazyT for President
Now that is what you call PROVOCATION!!!
How about Hubert Charles for President?
Good choice PM! OTOH, what a polite way to get rid of extra baggage and put it in the window dressing.
Isn’t the role of president more or less ceremonial?
Wasn’t he in the labor and delivery room not long ago?? Is he in good health now. Jokes!! we have have in DA getting funnier everyday. Hey that alliance to another country thing didn’t affect Skerrit, Oh Yeah…. No law can stop him. How quickly all is forgotten.
Marn want somebody to hexplain how Mista always running for election never won not one time he ran not even in Portsmouth where he from, he never came close, to win the general support as someone who could lead some people,,,
Now allyou coming and talk about mista for president what Pres-what-i-what-dent dat nuh,,,
Mista should even just tell Skerro he doh want dat gig and just stay in d hole where he is dere yeh,,,
It seems they are trying to eliminate he office of the President.
The*
This has to be a joke. It’s too early for April Fools, Mr. PM.
Popa Gad. wa rung wit de PM? He need to fire his advisors man….. or they want him to be fired. Why de Chalo again non?
Granny say what you sow is that reap. Well is he that teach people to throw stones. So guess what. Now is harvest time. Hope you like the taste of your medicine. S.I.Y.A.
Well if everybody nominating I can nominate too:
I hereby nominate Dr. Alwin Bully for President.
I thought we wanted to go forward……chuuupes
I just cannot believe that the only person in Dominica that the Prime minister can think to nominate as President, a serving minister resigning form government to be President, this is political biasness and favouritism.
I support the government in the development of this country but this is a very poor choice for the state highest office.
This is a man that call for the boycott of a Dominican which employs Dominican. How could a minister of government made such a statement. The Pm should asked his to resign. ONLY IN DOMINICA THESE RUBBISH HAPPENS. IMAGINE A TOP WORLD POLITICIAN SAID TO HIS HOW CAN A SERVING MINISTER SAY SUCH AND WAS NOT SACKED.
PM re think as this will not go down to well with alot of your party supporters and Dominican as a whole.
Payback for closing brizee mart!
It is quite conspicuous that UWP supporters have taken over DNO as always whenever there is such an article and it pertains to the government. It is as if you are paid for being critics.
How many of you, if nominated would qualify for the position of President and would be worthy of being elected Prime Minister?
Do you qualify for anything? What exactly do you qualify for? What is your qualification?
Based on your usual comments which are not inspiring and which no one can learn anything from, I know you qualify for Masters of Critics.
I am even going further to nominate you for a PhD in Critics.
Your comments are an ill-wind that blows nobody any good. They do not enhance Dominica. They do not unite Dominica. They do not make Dominica a peaceful place and a safe one for that matter. Yet, you are on DNO calling the PM all sorts of names. You are the ones who deserved to be called those derogatory names that you qualify for. You have depicted it in your comments. It disgusts good and caring Dominicans.
What is more, you are showing yourselves to be, that it appears Dominica has more unloving and unkind people who knock everyone and everything good. Your eyes and mind do not see the good but always evil.
You are also projecting to the entire world the type of people who exist in Dominica. Are all of you not Christians? Yet you do not practice love to everyone with no exception. Go and learn the meaning of love and practice it.
Thank God there are some nice people in Dominica who do not stoop as low as you to consistently criticize. They know the difference between good people and bad ones which you do not know.
Learn also the meaning of elevate. Elevate your country and everyone else in it. I have previously stated, be Christian-like in also your words/comments.
God is watching you from above and taking notes for your judgment, a mini one while you are alive. Then the greater one when you die. You will also pay for your idle and unkind words which you spew on DNO at those in authority. You better care.
get a breath mint when u coming and let go all ur hot gyas there…chhaaaa
Church and state are SEEEEPPPAAARRATEEEEE…shayte man….
go to the vatican city with your melange bouyon political sorcery
tired of you, sound like an EDUCATED FOOOL!
The same damn ships that carry black JACK@%%%s like you and me across the atlantic, were flying the cross on their flags and sails…how many people died and were killed, and the bible is the tool that they use to JUSTIFY!!!!!! their deeds….man…when you see people fighting for what is right and for PROPER representation just take your bible and go church yer, before somebody take that flippin bible and slap some GOD GIVEN sense into you….
If you carefully analyze this, you will realise that there are several likes, sometimes in the 90’s, yet very few comments, so it is foolish to say that the Opposition supporters make stupid comments. Most of us just tick. We are not paid, as a matter of fact, I hardly read DNO, but when I do, I express my likes and dislikes, only to find that I support the majority view. So it is puerile to suggest that people are paid to make comments on this forum. If the readers are random Dominicans and most of them support the Opposition, then it is a trend and not a plan! Wake up!
No wayyyyy its is a n insult to the Dominican people. I suuport the PM but this is the wrong decision . The Prime minister needs to re think the choice….
Has the Prime Minister and the rest of the cabinet ever visited the official website of the President of Dominica? I doubt very much, as if they had, they would not dare commit such a cruel act. Please visit http://presidentoffice.gov.dm/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3:the-personality-of-the-president&catid=15&Itemid=2 and tell me how any rational human being could believe that Charles Savarin is suitable for that post. Let me know the date and time – I am ready to march for my country.
LMAO…..woyyy that was the plan all along man???
boy that one make my night…
Was thinking the same thing when I read the headline.
Skeritt either crazy or desperate. Even I know the president should be impartial duh
All you can remember how this man was giving people blows and throeing MAPEWEE and criticisms to non Labourites on the Animal Show? The place where he almost died? So he is PRESIDENT NOW?
Calling for BOYCOTT of a well known supermarket on island, and this man is PRESIDENT NOW?
A bigger crowd than what will be at Londonderry on Sunday need to show their disapproval of this mockery of the office of president, and ask that he be immediately be DISCARDED!
How will this man afford to be impartial? How is he going to unite the country?OMG!
THIS LABOUR POWDER PARTY is really into free fall!
Totally agree!!! This government has shown nothing but incompetence when it comes to governing the country. The last slogan was ‘Taking Dominica to the next level’. Well people this is the next level, the gutter… Unfortunately!!! I’m totally DISAPPOINTED… On Sunday we NEED to show this government that we are taking our country back!!!
D’icans come out and stand up for your Constitution Charles Savarin should never be president and I agree it calls for a larger than ever crowd to come out to sound their disapproveal of this man, he would never ever be balanced. I’m sorry Jennifer allowed herself to be set up by PM so I dont feel sorry for her she knew what was expected according to the constitution.
great choice mr pm thats what i love to see.
You must be an idiot
Charles Saverin pa las magais Largent tax payers. All those years Charles saverin has been living on tax payers what is his legacy- is it the skiing trips in Brussels; a failed stint at NDC; a 47 day strike. Somebody please tell me why this guy deserve to be president of Dominica.
The only reason I can think off is that Lennox Linton who doesn’t have a degree can possibly become Prime Minister so why not let Charles saverin who does not a degree become president.
Charles Savarin graduated from High School.
Not so much for Lennox Linton. The boy could not get promoted from 3rd to 4th form …. three times failed!
That says much for the quality of high school we had back then. So many people with Master’s degrees cannot construct a sentence and ‘the boy’, as you refer to him is so intelligent and articulate!!
dominicans be careful skeritt want to pass some law to put you all in captivity please dominicans be careful. Look out vote mister out
I just think the PM should resign and become the President. Simple as that.!
You must be losing your mind the same way that the PM is losing his iron grip on his MPs! This government should be out of power an those that need to be punished accordingly should be punished accordingly.
President of a country calling for the BOYCOTT of a legitimate business?
IS DOMINICA A COUNTRY AT ALL?
Jesus help us please.
Charlo? no no no no. Can we go back to Alix Boyd Knight. Bring her back please. but not Charlo.
hahahhahahahaha I love that!!
Let them nominate Charles Savarin, pleeeeeeeaaase go ahead, make our day, we want to DISCARD HIM, just like the Alex Boyd lady….This government under this leadership PM are all jokers, all you cannot even look for a decent credible, reliable, good reputation person to be President…>? Who next to nominate, Skerrit…ohhhh yessss…fellas let us nominate Skerrit. Aye Dominique
looks like some people want to fight…lol
People chill and relax, the President is you and I…with all the hoopla about Eluid Williams , has your life improved or gotten worst???
Don’t make the President make your day….let the Lord make your day…you all too political..sound like some idiotic republican ready to fight Obama
Wait a minute nah…Joke that nah!!! People this is really getting to be a big comedy show in the presidency circus..! Well done Skerrit…!
I am calling for a massive demonstration on the grounds that this man Charles Saverin is a selfish dude and is known for making reckless statements – like calling for the boycott of Breezee Mart. What a total disrespect and insensitivity to Dominicans just when Breezee Mart is closing down and laying off people. One could argue on the account of 18-3 that Charles Saverin’s call for the Boycotting of Breezee Mart has resulted in the collapse of the Breezee Mart supermarket.
And people who voted these type of barbaric government back into power and are still supporting are more WICKED than the government themselves. Our country is on the brink of destruction and yet people are still supporting them. That’s why I admire Grenadians, Tilman was doing shit an his ass was voted out 100% as in 15 seats!!!! Dominicans need to WAKE THE HE’LL UP!!!
OHhhh…i suspect skerrit about to retire….skerrit trying to find a way to lose the election and call it quit.
I couldn’t agree more. In my humble opinion Roosevelt Skerrit has no allegiance to the DLP and I will further say that this administration has no interest in winning the next general election. A government has never been so undecided, reckless or irresponsible. You mean Charles Savarin who has been properly disposed of when it comes to the runnings of politics in this country will be thrust upon a people who has discarded him at every opportunity through the ballot. This is a travesty and this government has single handedly brought the office of president to disrepute creating a presidential nominee crisis in this country.I dare say that there are many more surprises to come for there are more interesting days ahead.
You mean the same man who called upon Dominicans to BOYCOTT the patronizing of a legitimate supermarket on island?
NO WONDER I WILL NEVER SUPPORT THIS GOVERNMENT!
I JUST CAN’T!!!!!!!!!
The nominees and current President are all getting what they deserve. Mr. Williams should have declined to accept the Presidency, given the method that was used to install him…now he is discarded. Mrs. Lafond should have removed herself from contending, knowing that she has dual citizenship. Has integrity has taken a vacation in Dominica? It is all very embarrassing and shameful!
Well I guess the PM is trying to prove that he is indeed above the constitution. I am more than disappointed in Mr. Williams. I expected better of him given his level of knowledge of our constitution. He has been and could have still been a good president if he had insisted on becoming president, even if is temporarily, in the correct manner.
OH LARD…. LOOK JOKES!!!
Is this government mad? Charles Savarin for president. From Alix to Savarin is from frying pan heat into volcano fire. Savarin was on Kairi slamming the opposition until he nearly collapsed and now he is to be President? Aye Dominique.
Does the Constitution say anythiong about the age of a president and doesnt Savarin have health problem he should not be allowed to sit in that office.
Isn’t Savarin himself suffering from ill health? Well the deck of cards lead by Skerrit is really falling apart.
But DNO not easy! I wrote my comment, breaking the news about Charles Saverin. They update their article with that info, and deleted my comment.
I’m disappointed
That’s how DNO operates they ain’t ready yet
This is an abomination. Charles Saverin has been one of the most polarizing figure in our history. Can Charles Savarin unite people. Let us all be honest with ourselves.
Charles Saverin has sat with the Labor Party as a surrendering any bit of dignity a man can have. True Laborites are playing kumaya with Charles Saverin as a matter of convenience.
Charles Saverin is on record calling Portsmouth people ” BLACK CARIBS” – the most disrespectful and racist comment. At the time of the comments he was saying that the Kalinago people are stupid and that Portsmouth people are the Black Version of stupidity. A comment I will never forget.
After Hurricane David Charles Saverin was in charge of resource distribution and I will never forget when a regiment from Portsmouth came up to Roseau via the Geest Tug Boat and the ” Lighters and Charles saverin insisted that we the people of Portsmouth should not get ration – Young people if you think I lie ask the older folks around Portsmouth. Ian Douglas through his dad may be able to attest to that. Need I say that Charles Saverin Roots were still alive in Portsmouth when he did that.
This is a character who showed total disregard for a nation by handing down a 47 day strike and crippled the economy of Dominica.
I will not touch on integrity issues and I will let the momentum reveal the Charles Saverin who is wearing this fake smile and a Red shirt.
After my hard work of rebuilding the Labor Party with Mike , Rosie and Pierro – difficult moment sleeping on the hard ground all over the country, running out of gas and now it is very disturbing to look at a band of hijackers playing Laborites. What a travesty.
Ghas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is true!
Regardless to the qualifications of a President, man or woman, if the person cannot unite the people of Dominica, we have a serious problem. After all what Savarin has said about the UWP, Mr. Edison James and more recently Mr. Lennox Linton, if a Dominican believes that Linton as Prime Minister and Savarin as President can work together for the betterment of Dominica, it is easier to see Alix becoming a nun.
just like the walls of Jericho the labor party crumbling. Elections will be at the final hour in 2015.
just like the walls of Jericho the labor party crumbling. Elections will be at the final houron 2015.
PM, can u not mend fences!! My personal opinion, our President SHOULD be aretired JUDGE period. what is wrong with Retired Judge Brian Allyene? just put the man and he can do u no harm,..
by the way the thief who keeps stealing my internet name PEDRO using here online and elsewhere is NOT The Peter Karam better known as Pedro. the thief will get what he looking for doh worry. let Admin keep up this theft of people’s names online as false persons.
PK, I am not representing another but myself. The name Pedro is not a copyright
Padner, find another handle to use on DNO because we all know that Peter Karam goes by the handle Pedro. And that was long before you appeared here.
So let’s not have to call in Mark Marie to settle this, just do the honourable thing and find another handle
Peter u are being ridiculous. Brian alleyne is openly bashing the government and insulting the prime minister and now u want him.
JJJJJJJJJAAAAAAAAACK Sir. Brian (HONORABLE) has never “BASHED” the government…. the truth is a FLIPPIN OFFENCE which seem to have offended you….but the truth is CERTAINLY not a crime….
listen…I give DNO a goooooooood long rest…i just read and i leave it at that…but I see I need to come back and start putting the DOT on some of allu “I’s” and Cross some of allu T’s……
Being smart by playing STUPID??? huh??
I nominate myself.
welcome to the next level. i nominate yellow, if she withdraw Zang there
I couldn’t agree more… It’s such a pity that their supporters and non-voters were too ignorant and stupid to have NOT foreseen what the next level was… Could have saved us all a lot of disparate and aggravation…
Bondieu Skerro kar fer baggai. Savarin lang chacha e vlay metay assou nou? Tanto tanto!
Charles Savarin? Allu mad man! Is now we demonstrating and until labor is OUT of office. Turmoil in the land.. Skerro MUST GO along with Charlo, Levi, the Rotweiler and the gang. “Change MUST Come” to my land. The madness MUST STOP.
Assertive, NOT Agressive!
Papa met
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,nooooooooooooooo,not charlo….charlo is one of d main person dat have dominica in that condition rite now….nooooooooooooooooooo plzzzzzzzzz
boy what coshone that jésus christ
Are you cursed? Satan loves you. You mentioned the Lord’s name in vain? Are you aware that it is a grievous/mortal sin to mention his name in vain as you did in such a manner?
It is the II – Second Commandment of God.
Commands: reverence in speaking about God and holy things, the keeping of oaths and vows.
Forbids: blasphemy, the irreverent use of God’s name, speaking disrespectfully of holy things, false oaths, and the breaking of vows.
Pray to God for forgiveness. Hopefully you have a humble and contrite heart. Only then will you be forgiven.
shush.
Oh for God’s sake madam, get of your high horse and come down to the real world!
Someone please pinch me i think am having a real bad dream and need to wake up! Rubbish if you think demonstration was needed for Alix Byod Knight now we need a revolution.
Isn’t Charles Savarin suffering from ill health?
Forget the health of Mr. Severin, it is the democractic health of Dominica that is ill and dying of abuse. For how long can we continue to allow the DLP to insult and disrespect us?
Remember, Mr. Skerrit has advised you that you deserve the government/ governance you allow. We cannot allow Skerrit and the DLP to further destroy our country. Make the change happen. Fear no more, the UWP is ready to govern.
No Skerrit is ill….
speaker withdraw,jenifer withdraw,Dpp withdraw but allu will run the country brokes man SMDH.
CORRECTION. Speaker DISCARDED like a bag of garbage. Jennifer not qualified and due to the effective representation of the UWP, she did the respectable thing and withdrew. DPP don’t want to be part of red herring Levi’s/Skerrit mess. The country is already broke and ready to turn the governance of the country to the UWP.
But look charles savarin resign from the government and parliament today! I smell our next president!
please nominate peter wickam and and the theother bajan man for President
I think this President nomination tells us that we in Dominica are headed by a dictator, Skeritt does not discuss with the others, he just shubbing things down their throat and th ey cant complain or disagree. according to Tronada dey fraid.
Yes, they fraid bad. But the people of Dominica should fear no more. Start demonstrating your support for change at Londonderry on Sunday.
Change is a must and not an option.
Sunday is too far. That urgent matter can’t wait.
U want news…I give u breaking news loook bowdelle but she do right
Sounds like another very familiar bed time rhyme like: Jack and Jill went up a hill to fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill come tumbling after…
It seems like everything Skerrit and his DLP team plan is tumbling one after the other.
Mr. Williams for president – though unconstitutionally elected is now out of favor with those that elected him.
Ms. ABK nominated by Skerrit and the DLP- That tumbled down.
Ms. Jennifer Wallace Lafond was then nominated instead of ABK – That too came tumbling down
Mr. Kurt De Freitas was nominated by Skerrit and the DLP team for DPP and again it came tumbling down. All these happened in less than one month.
But Dominicans think of this: If everything the man gets involved in is tumbling down do we have to wait until Dominica goes tumbling down with him to listen to the voice of nature? I don’t even want to talk about the Liat story and his $8 million dollar investment that also came tumbling down.
Boy I fraid you know because the man has become the original tumbling down PM.
You are so right. But the UWP is ready to govern. Fear no more. Change is a must. Change will come. That is a must. Don’t worry. Everything will be alright with the UWP. Join the UWP at Londonerry on Sunday.
I would fear and so would many other Dominicans.
labour for sure
What is the nature of the Justice and truth that hit his contributors stands for? It must be the Dr. Aaron and DLP type.
Okay Lbour power. Go on. Keep convincing yourself. Be sure about your demise.
We have a lot of puppets. All we need to do is to find one with the right strings.
Since the country in a state of madness and flux then is either Parry Bellot or Charles Savarin for President garcon well not even a president we can get right these days now.
This Government has become the discarding government – yow check the trend Alix Boyd Knight discarded – hear her is because of mischeivous statements and people doh even know me. DPP discarded or withdrawn mark you there is a difference between the word he hdraw and he has been withdrawn in other words he has been discarded 0h and hear the AG is because of mischeivous bloggs ; then Minister Austrie this morning on Matt – Dr. Thomas found him wanting and he says Fontaine is mischeivous etc – I am now wondering whether this is a mischeivous government seeing, sayin and doing mischeivous things hence the reason that they now beginning to see that everything happening around them are now mischeivous
Just understood that Charles Saverin is the next nominee. Well we really finibat.
Word on the ground is that Charles Saverin resigned his job today. And that he will be the one nominated for the presidency.
Frankly im scared.
SunDominica.com is reporting that Charles Savarin is Skerrit’s choice for President. Isn’t that moving from Alix’s frying pan into the fire. Many Dominicans who listen to the animal show have been hearing the barrage of mapuis that is being pelted at the opposition, in particular Mr. Lennox Linton by Charlo. Tell me, how is their going to be unity between the UWP and President Charlo. Skerrit found difficulties with the appointments of Babs Dyer and Dave Bruney because of their political affiliations, therefore, how will he explain the nomination of Charlo. The people of Dominica must vehemently appose the nomination of Charlo.
This Skerrit administration is tremendously incompetent. They are making fun of the constitution hoping we will give in. My people continue the fight, they will soon be gone! I addition can you believe the supporters are even worse. This woman knew she had a US passport, so why accept the nomination? I suppose she was hoping that they would find some way to allow her to become president. Why these supporters are so corrupt like their leaders is so disgusting. She should be the first person as a former PS to say no PM I would be happy to serve but I am not qualified. I hope we really find someone who has backbone and not one that would just say yes to the PM.
Is it true that LABOUR POWDER is on its back in a coffin?
Is it true that LABOUR POWDER cannot attract new candidates of substance?
Is it true that Possie is a hotbed of interest now?
Is it true that a particular constituency with ‘Roseau” before it, will be LABOUR POWDWR biggest upset(defeat) in the next general election?
Is it true that the ground swell towards “WORKERS” IS INCREASING EXPONENTIALLY BY THE HOUR?
Is IT TRUE THAT ABOUT 95% OF VOTERS IN A CERTAIN village in the east will give unflinching support to a candidate going up against LABOUR POWDER, AND IS it true that this candidate will win the LABOUR POWDER candidate whoever he/she is handsomely?
WELL! WELL! WELL! I know it is true that LABOUR POWDER WILL BE DISCARDED PAPA!
Here is where UWP can seize the initiative and nominate a PEOPLE’s CHOICE for president – let’s see them run with the ball
we don’t have to depend always on the government side to nominate so we can consult –
THE PEOPLE CAN NOMINATE TOO so go ahead “REPRESENT” or shut up
Why is the UWP not putting names for nomination, it is their right and duty to do that…they must step up!!! LET THE PEOPLE KNOW WHO THEY HAVE AS ALTERNATIVES…
Lets nominate Charles Savarin so we can DISCARD HIM LIKE THE LADY.
Charlo DISCARDED Labour Party in kool wosh brigade in 1979……..so why not..
Well mi debar
Well Dominica its been years we have been asking to eliminate that useless position of President and now all you cannot even get a suitable ‘puppet’ to fill the post.
What all you betting Skerro going to attempt be the first PM/President of Dominica?
18 elected officials, 3 Opposition and 1 President for a country of 305 sq miles and a population of about 50, 000 with a workforce of about 20,000, all you doh find that is too much strain for Mama Dominica?
so Mr. Astaphan a CV was necessary?
DNO what about the coming DPP was he discarded. Just asking DNO. I prefer get my imports FOB – Friet On Board and any old and danaged Friet should not be accepted by the port. ALL danaed friet must be pregented from coming to Dominica. NO more Black Sigatoka please.
awwwwww Jennifer was my principal while in high school, it would be nice if she was president. Very nice lady.
And this saga will continue because…….
Anyone with an ounce of pride or self-respect is not going to accept when they are now THIRD choice for the job!
They should have just let sleeping dogs lie for another term.
L A B O U R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You forgot to put POWDER!
Mr Charles Savarin would be the best candidate for that post.
All you UWP can’t win no election in Dominica ! The pm is the people choice ! Wait and see soon ! Soon !
I feel sorry for you. That’s all I have to say.
The PM and his team need to do the proper vetting before putting people for these positions they are beginning to look
Like jokers.
Too late, they looking like jokers already
Seriously, we can no longer carry on like this. A vote of “no confidence” in Skerrit is appropriate now. Let’s see who are the diehards and who are the realists.
“Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it”………This so called Labour Party is contemplating making Charles Savarin the President…….the same Charles Savarin who fought Labour Party for how many years in the 70s. Ask Flossie Joseph, Austel Amselm and the Karams….ask Peter Karam.
Yes, the same Charles Savarin who was bent on destroying the country in order to unseat the Labour Party and led the civil servants into a 47-day strike. (Ah him, same one)
Dorothy Leevy for President.
Please STOP playing around in my country. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
So everything is political????? Can you all not put politics and stick to the discussion at hand. Maybe I need to remind you the readers it is about nomination of a President and that the last nominee “Mrs Jennifer Wallace Lafond” is no longer a nominee. So infact what we should be doing is maybe suggesting possible nominees. I nominate myself. So who is your nominee. Let us get your opinion people … not discord about the PM or Opposition. This is our country. Let us speak life to it not discord and disarray, turmoil, strife. Let us love each other and let us be knowledgeable and do our part. Come on let us have the suggested nominees.
God Bless Dominica and all its people.
So nomination for president is not a political topic?
i would like to nominate the following.BLESSINGS,LENNOX LINTON,MERVIN JNOBAPTISTE, ANGELO ALLEYNE,or EDDISON JAMES
All Your nominees are in favour of Mr. Williams
I thought we wanted neutral people look at people you select lol
WHAT ABOUT COCOM, SOGO OR MAMIZE.
listen to yourself! smh
What about sir brian Alleyne, this is the perfect man for the job
why block the comment cause of low rating
kim! you make my day. lol
This is a perfect case of friendly fire !!! Wow they are begining to self destruct.
That’s what you get when you discard of a president without reason even when he is minded to continue to serve.
Mr. ALWIN BULLY would be a great choice though.
Oh, yes. But I do not think he will accept nomination.
You have to wonder, what sort of vetting processes were used when these guys are selling or nationality.
They tell us is tight vetting and interviews before or passports are sold but if they cannot vet people in their own back yard, how are they vetting potential criminal.
This government is not fit for purpose.
That’s so ture
‘true’
bla bla bla charles savarin is our president like it or not
You said so about Alix.
Before Labour comes tumbling down like a deck of cards,whenever the next election is called, the members of the wicked and evil team have to exchange blows in public. When you sow carrots you cannot reap potatoes!!!!!.
This has been Dominica’s worst government from its discovery.
The day and date to DISCARD you all is quickly approaching.
@% – This Dominica Labour Party has also been the most backward thinking government to set foot in this country…..
And you are not backward?
the goverment as turned appointing a president to a joke so i propose yellow as our first women president and when she moves into the white house i will save about 2 dollars a week that i give her now so i for one will be better off,hip hip horay,,,,,yellow all the way
In the events which have occurred consideration may be given to former Minister for Trade and Production the Hon. N.A.N.Ducreay.He served as Minister for 10 years and parlamentarian for 14 years.
Is this your way to crack a joke? Man, be more serious than that.
a current DLP politician is he
from the SUBLIME to the outright RIDICULOUS
Why are we debating over this nonsense? What happen to Mr. Desmond Blanchard the former Commissioner of Police? I nominate him as he is an Honest individual. VOTE FOR DESMOND BLANCHARD FOR PRESIDENT……..
I second, third, fourth and fifth that motion, in addition to Mr. Blanchard I wish to nominate, Lambert Lewis, Ozzie Lewis, Gloria Augustus, Willie Fevrier, Gerald Cools-Latigue, Athlene Douglas-Murdock and of course my father Alfred Jerome Rene Bruno, he will make sure that there is always a smile on the people’s face, and the palace will always have a fete.
i liked in error, I meant, DISLIKE
Personally, I would appoint Mr. Felix Gregoire. He has worked under all administrations. What the heck! Get this man in the presidential house. A cool guy, nice fella, speaks to everyone. My nominiee – Felix Gregoire for President.
You cannot be serious, are you forgeting the man was implicated in the Bin boreball.
This man would be worse than the lady the people of Dominica DISCARDED!
I do agree with your point. Very amicable gentleman and very objective. And apparently unbiased in his dealings.
I find the comments on this very mild. This is a situation which should evoke the utmost disgust but people are simply saying, well dats bad. This is not just bad people this is a disgrace and a part of a wicked plan by skerritt. I am calling on the opposition to rally the troops to gather outside the parliament and be ready to close down the country. There is something afoot to fool the people and install someone of questionable character as the head of state. So people be ready we need to stop this beast once and for all from making a mockery of our constitution.
@Papa Dom. In the Name of Jesus, we shall have no strike, no rally of troops, no country close down for there is no reason for such gimmicks of the “Evil One”. We pull down all negative influence, Principalities, evil forces and demolish this in this land never to take root. We destroy the roots of strife, war, confusion in the land and we replace by the Peace of the Lord which surpasses all understanding. We set Papa Dom free and all the others who are bounded by the Evil forces and we say to them be at peace in Jesus Name. We set all our young people free to serve the one and true God. So all they will do and say will be in conformity with the Lord.
Papa Dom give your nominee or if you want to be a nominee .. give your name. No time for this violent and negative talk. Making mountain out of molehill.
God bless Dominica and forgive us all our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from all evil.
Words of the anti-Christ . Remember satan offered Jesus the whole world if he would bow down and worship him? That is exactly what I see in you, a deciple of satan trying hard to get people to follow an evil spirit.
Skerro is tired why not ask the necessary
Questions before u nominate someone
Labour is going down too much corruption in
My little Dominica and she should have know that
I have said it before and I will say it again: Labour will be the death of themselves. This is death by a thousand cuts.
How difficult is it for them to list the requirements for these positions and have the people indicate (with supporting evidence) whether they meet those requirements or not? OK, one can excise one mistake, but one is expected to learn from that mistake and not repeat it. How many times are they going to keep making these blunders?
Who exactly is running this ship?
Those are not mistakes my friend, those are deliberate attempts to trample on the constitution of Dominica. A dictator in the making I hear somebody say? Yes certainly! But we the people must never allow that, we need to put a stop at any cost.
What is wrong with Mr Eluid Williams? Mr Williams has had many years of experience in the civil service and has occupied top position in various ministries. He is intelligent, well informed and knowledgeable. He is very respectful to all.
Objectivity is a virtue for him. He was always very fair and objective in challenging situations.
Why is he being discarded?
Why has the table turned over on him by the current regime?He has been treated disgracefully!!!
Dominicans need answers. Nothing has been said to the Dominican people. Please we need some answers.
Prior to making assumptions, why not be smart and ask sensible questions?
sigh…..(hand over my face)…..
MONGOLLLLLLL how many why’s u see in the person comment??? and how many question marks…
jah boy…u make me sick
You’re asking what is wrong??? He wen in the wrong way, the back door instead of the front door. He could have remained a president if he had entered in the right manner.
fourchette in the cabinet
Boy look roro for such a small country every min is a withdrew from. Lord something must be wrong sum thing wang maybe the govt need to assert things before they nominate people for positions pray for d a
You are not praying well with a loving and humble heart. Look to yourself why you think what is occurring is not pleasing to you. Do not blame others for your failure to assist your country and bringing everyone and everything down.
Wayyyy papa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All you think skerro build palace just so??In it he want to go……..look bowdel wi
I am hearing the name of a gentleman, Gregoire, is Skerrit’s third choice.
When u ready for maypwi..whether u have or not…just let ur name b put up for a big position in Dominica and you will know on what kind of bed u born..Dominicans tight boi. I agree. Who or wat causing all dat ner? Ppl want to enjoy life and serve with dignity and dey being tarnished wickedly. Ppl must b scared of big position in Dominica whether u qualify or not eh…SAD SAD SAD
This government really can’t seem to get anything right. Not even a president? Come on.
God is at Work!!! Why treat Mr. Williams they way you guys did…..Lets see who is the next female nominee….Well look Story!!!!!
!
“Change Must Come”
Assertive, NOT Agressive!
LIES AGAIN…. I am not about to believe that, THIS PERFECT government did not know she owned an american passport….rubbish, there is more to this story!!
Let me move out of Dominica Mommy and I, this island is cracking up folks..
a jungle mindset has invaded folks who should be controlling affairs on island…(WOW)
Maybe you should if another country wants you. Dominica may thrive better with less critics as you.
Just shows how weak and relax the institutions in Dominica are…
If Dominica was know to be a above the board and standard orientated island they would have pride and class in their governance…
But sadly under this Labour Regime, things from all angles only have a downward arrow to the Gutter.
You know something is seriously wrong with this administration when in a very short space of time you hear Kurt De Freitas will no longer be Dominica’s Director of Public Prosecution (DPP)and then Jennifer Wallace Lafond is no longer a nominee for President of Dominica. Come on, a village council would do a better job at checking the background of these candidates who were nominated for these high offices. Shouldn’t there be a process whereby a thorough check/vetting on the potential candidates are done before they are announced to the public? It is time for Dominicans to demand better from its elected officials. This government is too arrogant. It’s a downright shame!
Hon.Darroux said the nomination of a presidential candidate is not a one man decision. So them fellas mean to tell me that all them ministers sat in cabinet for how many days in order to select a nominee and the main issue of whether the candidate has dual citizen ship did not even surface. well look it the government showing Dominicans the next level the ‘level of incompetence.’
If I were Eluid..I would step down long pant ago for this utter disrespect…after my name had been brought to the gutters for the Labour party…after my name reach in calypso as an illegal president and in court…I duke it out with those guys..now they want to dispose me for speaking unbiasedly and now throwing all kind of disqualified jokers in the air…and I still sit down in office…doing what…i would have bailed out on these fools…
haha, so long i throw in the towel on Dominica..
Labour party trickery and deception has brought a darkness over Dominica…
Not sure yet if the masses can turn it around.
More intense pressure surround has to be applied in all forms to……kick this regime down stream!
Come on you bunch of back stabbers what is wrong with MR WILLIAM now pm the ball is in your court play now
She’s american! Only now they realise that man?
Sums up the Point why Dominica is the Poorest in the Eastern Caribbean…
Poverty breathes or enhances corruption and thus chaos…the Today’s Dominica under a Labour Party Regime, just listen to the Minister on Q95 this am when he was asked a simple question..
Again sums up why Dominica is the Poorest in the Eastern Caribbean
There seems to be no vetting process by this administration, when it comes to the nomination of an individual to a position supported by the supreme law of the land.
No wonder “NO law no constitution can stop them from doing what they want.” Question, Is this what the law abiding Dominicans really voted for? My God! Where are the Christians, the educated people who are part and parcel of this land? Why are they silent about this atrocious disregard to our constitution?
With all the lies, contradictions and propaganda that are disseminated on the radio by the administration’s operatives, don’t they know by now that the truths will always trump the lies?
Only in our beloved Dominica this can happen. It is high time to vote these people out of office, and get them packing. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
All those Labour Party supporters who were requesting a CV from Mr. Lennox Linton, Opposition Leader of the UWP, should now ask the Prime Minister for his CV. In my opinion it should read, the appointment of a President, failed. The appointment of a DPP, failed. The appointment of a Magistrate failed. The land transfer deal, failed. The bin boreball scandal, failed. A present Minister in the Labour Party Government once said,” if you are chosen to do a job, you know you cannot do the job, why do you want to keep the job.” I am saying if you are chosen to lead the people of a country for instance Dominica, you know you don’t have the necessary skills, credibility, ability of a leader, why don’t you allow people like Mr. Lennox Linton, Mr. Claudius Sanford or Mr. Thompson Fontaine to lead the country.
typo: political leader not opposition leader.
You all domes in cian make me sick
Doc Love wait for Election. This is what will give those you propose the mandate. In the meantime and between time, PM Roosevelt Skerrit has been given the mandate. LL, CS or even TF have to wait for their day if they will have one.
Stop being angry every day about one person. Relax and chill… Accept who is there until election time come. Be happy as you seem to be missing this whilst you hate on. Haterz (those carrying hatred) only hurt themselves avec gros ceour. This is also not good for health reasons.
Just reminding us!
Elections are due soon. 2015 soon come. You can vote for them, that is your democratic right.
look story. allu killing me
I nominate Mr. Eluid Williams for PRESIDENT of the Commonwealth of Dominica: so help me God.
Enough of this nonsense; he is the best suited candidate – and – GOD BLESS DOMINICA
Given all what has transpired would you accept the nomination if you were in Mr. Eluid Williams?
Oh no! Who wants to be part and parcel of such incompetent team? Let’s be for real now people!
as a PATRIOT? YES – and let bygones be bygones; ITS ABOUT THE PEOPLE BOSS
i would not
This is it! Incompetence and arrogance at its highest order, can we move to the next level with this bunch of JOKERS?
TIME UP! PACK UP!
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I cannot take any more shame?
Can a government be that incompetent?
Please let me remind You that Mr. Skeritt never said if the “Next Level” was up or down.
Right now it looks like He was referring to the Next level Down
Everything is upside down, back to front, everything is inside out mama ….. Soul Puss…
I rest my case and she knew she didn’t qualify having worked at such a high level in the public service and still allowed her name to be in some roro. Bondieu for once government get it right, follow the constitution and all that will be avoided. Governments come and go the Constitution stands toneh
Not Soul Puss who sang this line….it’s Vigilante….
The woman was out off state when she was norminated, so what u expect?
I nominate Mr. ELIUD WILLIAMS for President of the Commonwealth of Dominica; GOD BLESS DOMINICA
Wayyyyyy lol
***CONTINUE WITH THE CURRENT PRESIDENT***
Yes “positiv”…… woosh indeed. That’s really too hot.
We should just continue with our current head of state.
We need to to STOP this unnecessary MADNESS!!
-Thanks
They Doh want Mr Williams….He stood up to them and they way they were doing certain things…
Well, let’s wait for the next joke. Some where, we missed the first one. Maybe, we will get the next one.
Dear Cabinet,
I wish to nominate Mr.Conrad Mcintyre. He has acted in the position many times with distinction. Please ask him if he is interested.
Bring back the knight! or shake some names in a bag and who ever name comes up will bring the president. this president thing seems to b a joke
I glad for you. Change the law? If they so like Dominica the choice will be easy and nothing is wrong with the constitution. They have to pledge allegiance to their adopted homelands to be citizens and we must allow them to run a mock in Dominica? You can’t be right in your head! That lady is well respected and an excellent choice but she should know that this would blow up in her face. The choice is clear Dominica or America, she withdrew he US citizenship is more important. There are many Dominicans who have distinguished themselves and can be president.
This stupid law needs to be changed!!! There are a number of well qualified Dominicans that would like to assist their country but is unable to do so because they hold a foreign passport.
I say lets change this law!!
For that alone you want to change the law? everything has to go the DLP way so lets change the law
And where will it end? So every time skerritt breaks the laws of Dominica we will change the law to accommodate him. Soon we will have a country without law, the ideal atmosphere for dictatorship to flourish .
What Law did he break? Where did you get that from? Are you not vindictive to make such a statement about your PM?
Change the law to say what?
You are President of a Country and Still a Citizen of another ?
Think before You type my Friend.You want us to be the laughing stock of the Planet?
I smell a rat…. Charles Savarin they going and nominate…. I am no prophet, but I ready to demonstrate.
Well if Charles Savarin gets nominated it will be ‘Payback’ time!
Time for Him to reap what He sow!
I told u
Sorry that all the checks and balances were not in place. She would have been an excellent president.
Mr. PM, or to whom it may concern, just do the right thing and nominate Mr. Williams to continue. What’s so wrong with that? Is it because he will not bow down to the whims and fancies of some people?
Everybody suddenly get diarrhoes in their mouth by just running, running, running. Why don’t we just wait and hear what the REAL story is before jumping and castigating?
Diarrhea. How smart are you? You criticize and you cannot spell? Learn to spell.
Joker and his cabinet,falling apart,am having a grand laugh now.
Skerro let us just go back to Mr. Williams the Opposition likes Him lol
why blame Lennox when we damm well know the constitution….my goodness
I knew the lady had a US Passport the same day she was nominated, by just asking a few questions. And you mean to tell me the Government never thought to ask this important question especially given the recent troubles with dual citisenship? I am disappointed in those who are in charge of this process.
SO…wait..this is Lennox’s fault? eh ben! Nou fini battre!
It would be wise for the government and the interested parties to dot all their “I”s and cross all their “T”s before accepting the nomination, or even going public on offers of holding positions such as the presidency. It’s a simple case of due deligence. While many may see this as a UWP vs Labour situation, the truth is the CONSTITUTION was written to prevent these kinds of embarassment and chaos. What is wrong with simply following the rule of law and not jumping the gun? It saddens me even more that Dominicans in the USA in particular who know for a fact before you eyeball and American they’re flashing Constitutional clauses to defend their positions, yet these are the very people who propogate nonesense in Dominica. Maybe CIVICS should be taught in secondary schools as a manadatory course. Too many people are unfamiliar with the Constitution and the laws that guide social order on the island. Ministers of government mumbling the national pledge in 2013, it’s embarassing. We have people calling the airwaves on all sides beating their chests like fattened geese on issues way beyond their comprehension, and those who know better allow them to wallow in ignorance because it suits their political agenda.
We can do better Dominican! Our National anthem calls us to come forward as sons and daughters, but it also requires of us to be ready to do the right, to be firm and to be fair. How can this be achieved when we’re coming in with muddy feet, cloudy eyes and smokescreen illusions? Civil society is governed by the rule of law, not by the man who holds the heaviest artillery! then we bash the youth….
We have respect for every other Constitution except ours,ask many of us about it we know absolutely nothing but I have seen my fellow Dominicans with a copy of the USA Constitution practically attached to their person when I reveal to them I possess a Dominican copy, they act flabbergasted.
Giving credit where it is due,when the U.W.P was in office they asked that folks picked up a copy of Dominica’s constitution.That’s when I personally start studying this document. Many people believes D/cans are dunces ,but this document although hurriedly crafted together covers EVERY aspect of what we are dealing with now.So when I hear other people quote sections of their Constitution I look for it in DA’s own and surely there it is.Get a copy of T and T document and you’ll see similarities, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar nominated former Judge Anthony Carmona as President did you hear or see any comess as what is happening here?The man is about Trinidad and Tobago ,nobody had a problem with him because of his impartiality. Can that be said here? We need to put away the rum and get some more decor.God bless Dominica and those that truly love and stand up for her.
My woman!!!!! Who vex lost! You speak on my behal. You have a way with words too eh. I’m gonna make you my wife and everyday I’m convinced you are the one! Discuss the issues and I will speak on matters of the heart.
Dominica is in crisis
G DOMINICA IS NOT IN NO CRISIS AND NEVER WAS. DOH CALL FOR CRISS IN DOMINICA, YOUR WORDS MIGHT COME BACK AND HUNT YOU.
Your imagination and limited mind.
Wayyyyyy look it!!!!! Is one after the other now with this government sooo people you not seeing this government doeno what the hell they are doing.stupes this is getting embarrassing man stupessssss making us look foolish to the watching world out there
so u mean to tell me the pm didn’t know that the lady had a US passport? Don’t the PM know the constitution of Dominica? The requirements to be the President? I mean come on, what the hell is going on in this country? I think the PM need to stand down because it appears that he has no idea what he is doing.
Who say he doh know? but no law no consitution not stoping him
This is very embarrassing. I am thinking that the Ministry of Legal Affairs should be the mechanism to guide the Government in legal matters. Were they consulted on the matters as it relates the legal implications ( as written and direct by the Constitution) for a President and Director of public Prosecution?
So why wasn’t the same done for our Pm???? This just goes to show the power which we Dominicans place in his hands.
you not making no sense cause ron green has it too and contested the election wat is your point?
So because Ron Green did it, does that make it right? What sort of example are we setting for the kids, then? If you see someone doing something wrong or illegal and they get a way with it, then you can do it too?
Never! It will never be okay!
this is how theses guys run OUR country,dont they do their homework before they start throwing names at us,we are the laughing stock of the caribbean
Thank God it is not only your country.
In fact, it does not belong to you. You merely happen to be born there.
Wow… Too many embarrassing occurrences…
This govt can’t do anything right!
Dominica say thank you Lennox Linton!! Just know that it will be too late when we realise that the venom of Lennox ( based on his hatred of SKerrit) has done more harm than good.
Lennox should get Credit for this ! forcing them to adhere to the Constitution!That is what Good Opposition in a Democracy does!
Is it Lennox’s fault that she didnt meet the necessary requirements??? come on!!!! small-minded u are!
But! But! BUT! She would be a great person, but she just disqualified. What lennox have to do with that…..
I Tend to Disagree on that comment we pal hope you see why the oposition was “minded” to support they wanted to vet this and you see what it has brought forward the reality that our Constitution cannot be taken for a Ride thanks to Lennox “did they say he was a Novice”
What did Nr.Linton did he never said they didnt want Mrs.Lafond they wanted to sit with her according to the Constitution which is all above board, but the PM who said no Law/Constitution will not stop him from doing whatever he want, well the same have come to stop him because our people are standing up
THANK YOU LENNOX. You are a true patriot and statesman! Keep on respecting our constitution.
I endorse that. They cannot fathom it and foresee the future. They will find out sooner or later and experience it.
This is incompetent government administration at its best. One blunder after the other. Regardless of politics, its clear that the people who should be doing the appropriate vetting don’t have a clue on what would pass muster
Wooooooosh too hot to handle!!!
