I run things in Dominica – PM Skerrit

PM Skerrit raises a fist at the launch of Chekira Lockhart-Hypolite

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has sent a clear message to Dominica Public Service Union (DPSU) General Secretary, Thomas Letang and Dominicans by extension, that he runs things in this country.

“I have embarked on a mission to meet with every single public officer in Dominica and I met with the junior clerks, ladies and gentlemen and I hear Thomas Letang telling me, stop meeting them…my brother, I run things in Dominica…” Skerrit declared to a rousing response from his followers at the launch of the DLP’s candidate for Roseau South on Sunday.

The DLP leader continued, “I met the junior clerks and their main issue is their non-appointment and I will say to them tonight, I have given instructions to the Chief Personnel Officer to move with the appointment of 152 junior clerks in Dominica, ladies and gentlemen and to fill all vacant positions in the public service with immediate effect. So, every vacant post in the public service shall be filled.”

Skerrit summoned junior clerks to a meeting on April 11, 2019, the same day that the DPSU held a rally with its members to discuss salary negotiations and other grievances that are affecting them.  He announced after that meeting that the government would appoint 53 junior clerks into the public service.

Letang responded to that move by accusing the prime minister of using the meeting with the junior clerks to make political mileage. He pointed out that over the years, the union has been calling on the government to appoint these workers, cognizant of the negative implications of their non-appointment in terms of their inability get study leave, annual increment or to take a bank loan.

“But nobody has been taking us seriously,” the union official noted. “You knew the vacant positions were there. All you had to do, was make the recommendations to the Public Service Commission for their appointment.”

The DPSU has since embarked on a “go slow” effective Friday 31st and has given the government until Tuesday June 11, 2019 to call the union to the negotiating table to address their concerns, or face ”enhanced industrial action.”

    Those points openly and really suits that Failed immature incompetent childish Skerrit: Here goes: why and what Skerrit Lacks:
    1. an inept PM running D/ca’s economy alright; make no bones about it!
    2. an inept PM running D/ca’s economy alright; make no bones about it!
    3.There is just too much evidence on display that PM Skerrit is too inept to get D/ca’s industrial policy to work. Why?, Because :-
    4. He lacks a degree of social cohesion in the population to allow the government to harness socio-economic development.
    5.He, Skerrit lacks clear vision about what can work domestically, regionally and in the real world and what can’t,. Skerrit’s limited in his thoughts
    6. As well Skerrit lacks strong organisational skills on the part of the implementers.
    Any more weird pointers of failed incompetent Skerrit my people?

    Telemaque and your counterparts here, DNO did not print my response to you all’s contentions against me, but this time I am saying thank you for the constant attention from all of you

    I had to laugh because all I am reading is craziness and senselessness

    Telemaque at the beginning, I noticed that you did not know the difference between the Book, Chapter, and Verse in the Bible; up until this day you cannot quote a verse as it is in the Bible.

    So where do you get off, saying that I copied from your idea–listen man, you have nothing in your head about the Bible to share with me, do you even know who wrote that story about Nebuchadnezzar?

    And to the one talking about me going to Church on Sundays–blah, blah, how crazy! How do you know that I go to Church on Sundays? Hehehehe!

    So go ahead, follow my comments, maybe you all are doing so because all you learning from me–I am delighted to teach; because I am a teacher for our God.

      Yes; I remember a certain person try to impress me by telling when she was eleven years old, she had already learn everything, hence she simply sat in class by herself  doing nothing, waiting on everyone  else to finish.

      And by the time she was twelve years old she began teaching school eh!

      Boy, I doh know about you dat woman deer eh!

      Admin: anything Elizabeth wish to write about me on your site, no matter how incendiary it is, unless she is into profanities feel free to allow it.

      There is nothing nasty about she can write about that I have not suffered at her hands before.The worst she can say about me is that I am a liar and a thief!

      Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

      I could care less because I call a certain fellow she defends everyday a thief, and a liar too!

    @Fedup Public Office, you said: “thanks to Thomas Letang. Mr. Letang had some golden opportunity to put Skerrit on his knees when the iron was hot but he failed to shut down the bleddy country. So Skerrit is now in control.”

    PM Skerrit has been in control from the day he was elected to be the Prime Minister of Dominica. And this happened by the “voice” of the people whose mind was motivated by the Will of the Most High God to make that choice

    When men like PM Skerrit are under God’s control–there is no other man of the flesh, who is higher than him when this appointment happens; that is what he acknowledged to you, the people; because you all fail to realize that there is a God of Great Authority and Holiness above you all foolish pride and conceited mentality.

    Thomas Letang has no authority over PM Skerrit, unless God said it to be so; and until then–may God forbid this–he cannot command anything to come through in Dominica, by the people.

    Skerrit says:- “I run things in Dominica……” – PM Skerrit
    Well, well, well. Let us list the “Things he runs in our ailing Dominica”.
    1. The Red (Bobol -Abusive) Red Clinic
    2. The selling of Passports that we need to be accounted for, if not it is thievery and abusive to states funds and the “peoples” hard earn tax payer being abused.
    3. Has demonstrated to be Highly immature and childish
    4. A failed government with 19 worthless ministers sucking states financial resources.
    5. To “Run Things” of that of the State will be seen as an abuse and deliberate attempt to reduce our states resources to a very ow level.
    6. We need accountability and a change of government Now! Skerrit must Go.
    7. He run things to the style and operation of a mafia, drug dealer. This is the language they use when they wish to buy people, reduce them to begging, “I am ” this big Supremo, this big political gangster.

    If we were to research, and review every single dictator who ever lived on this planet, we will find they all posses one thing in common; that commonality is found all over Roosevelt Skerrit in the way he portrays himself in this picture.
    Dating back Nazi Germany, we saw Hitler raised arm, and his clinch fist, his bulling eyes, and face while ranting, proclaiming Nazism in the process killing six (6,000,000) Million Jews.
    We saw Stalin, Lenin  of Russia, and the former Soviet Union holding up clinch fists also; holding Russians, and people of the former Soviet block in poverty  and bondage for seventy years.
    We saw Stalin removed his shoe from his foot, and banged it on a table in the United Nations while he ranted and raved he will bury the United States of America.
    We saw Fidel Castro of Cuba with raised fist while he dominated Cubans, murdering none supporters, we saw Hugo Chavez did the same followed by Maduro.

    Its Roosevelt time now!

      Lin Clown, you have remained this clown and this blind loyalty because you type alot of crap. After 19 years Dominica is still in deep poverty with no production to earn foreign income. We have this little boyish clown Skerrit in government and he appears to be some kind of Hero who has produced nothing new in Dominica to gain employment for our struggling people. It`s a big silly fanfare going nowhere. Failed Skerrit has ruined our economy, we have nothing substantial in growth to raise sufficient income to feed our people and create jobs. As far as Dominica is concerned you silly blind loyalists have pledged allegiance to this failed incompetent Skerrit. Our agriculture income is gone, there are no markets except for our passports that`s for sales and we are still in poverty. It is time you blind loyalists of failed Skerrit and his corrupt government go to Hell, go to hell, not our damn business to respect you. You Skerrit you are a failure, recall Bin Bobol? Shame on you. Go away.

    Pm Skeritt, if you are really interested and love the Public Workers, your mission should have been not only to meet them, because Mr. Letang threatened industrial actions, but to immediately inform the Chief Personal Officer to appoint all public workers and give them a 5% increase of salaries.

      It doesn’t matter who wins the up coming election the fact is the Minister of Finance job should be separated from the Prime Ministers job and the people must demand it .

      • June 5, 2019

        Demand what? Because you say it, it must be so. Dominica was most retarded when the Prime Minister was not the finance minister. Patrick allowed Vic Rivier to be finance minister that did not work, Edison gave the finance portfolio to Julius Timothy and when they left office the financial situation was critical.

      Do you know what the state of Dominica was between 1995 and 2000? Well Dominica was at a stage where it could not pay it’s bills, local purchase orders were not been accepted as government had no money to pay. Social security contribution deducted from government workers but was not paid to the social security. Dominica had to borrow from other Caribbean countries to pay civil servants. The millions of $$$ left by the DFP to build the Layou river hotel vanished and no hotel was built. All this and more under a UWP government. And how is Skerrit throwing the country down? Dominica is in a stronger economic situation than it has ever been.

He wanted clean sweep to give him that power so the next option was to fire 13 and hand pick those who kiss his assets. Dominica is already a dictatorship why he says he runs things. Some are so dumb they dont realize the failure of the 13 is a failure of the one who runs things. They are the scape goats. The newly selected are just more animals to fatten then send to slaughter. Again i blame civil unions. Dominica should be shut down long. He so disrespectful when nurses complain he show us he can bring Chinese and Cubans and we go in our hole cry. Meanwhile the abuse and disregard of dominicans continue. Bringing of cubans alone should be reason …. country down. We created a problem i am afraid we are too crippled by selfishness to change.

    Man is lonely by birth,
    Man is only a pilgrim on earth
    Born to be king, time is but a temporary thing.
    Only on loan while on earth.

    Like the wind in the tree,
    Man has been rather reckless and free,
    Thrown far and wide, he longs to settle down beside,
    The stream flow through eternity.

    Like the grass on the lawn,
    He will pass by the way and be gone,
    A lesson to learn, We walk but once, there’s no return.
    Time is always moving on.

    Man is longing for One,
    For a song and a place in the sun,
    A home up above, Where everyday is lived in love.
    For rest when the journey is done.

      Nor did Mussolini see his end coming, whom Skerrit reminds me off with his grandiose sense of entitlement and showmanship, out of touch with reality. But even here our leader is not of a comparable class. He is simply an embarrassment. Mussolini thought himself safe with the backing of his ally Hitler but eight months later he was found ignomiously dangling from a piano wire, compliments of his own patriots. Of course, I do not wish a similar exit for our leader but merely point out the realities that every dictator is faced with, sooner or later

      Because it’s an outrageous statement to make. No decent minded leader of a democratic country makes this ‘ over the top’ statement. Power has drunken Skerrit. The man is an arrogant …… If you want to know a man’s true character, give him power. Only the availability of good paying jobs would lift people out of their dire, poverty stricken situation. Skerrit and his soldiers shy away from this topic. They are fully cognizant of the fact that the near dead economy is their Achilles heel. From his abysmal performance, I would not even hire Skerrit to run a pig farm. A man who has no training or education in financial matters is the Minister of Finance. No wonder he’s hemorrhaging the country’s financial resources.

    In most jurisdictions where there is a union and a collective agreement, the agreement is between the Employer (The government in this case) and the union. Any negotiation about issues covered in the collective agreement takes place between the Employer and the union. Failure of either party to the agreement to abide by this basic rule, allows the other party to seek redress through the established channels outlined in the grievance process. In this case, I suspect that the PM saw the opportunity to try and attract some votes and jumped at it. The PM made his move, the next step is up to the union.

    @Chu Moon Fan “tell him to read the book of Daniel…nebuchadnezzar in all his glory and pride was punished by the Most High for similar quote.

    Nebuchadnezzar was a king of the “Gentiles” who did not know God Almighty and His Holiness, he did not know anything about worship God; he was an idol worshipper, who lead his Nation of Babylon to do the same.

    Nebuchadnezzar had a mind of fleshly pride; he believed he had absolute power over the people of Israel, God’s chosen people at the time. God needed to show him that it wasn’t so

    PM Skerrit is a Christians, a God-fearing man whom the people have appointed to take the lead for the works of social and economic growth in Dominica–that is by God’s Will or command.

    If he is not the one “who runs things”, then who is? God needs a physical medium to do His works, for He is Spirit

    It is you all who should stop denying God’s work by his leadership, lest you suffer the consequences just like Nebuchadnezzar.

      And I was writing in reference to the pending down fall of Roosevelt, the same as Nebuchadnezzar saw his dilemma, because of his wickedness.

      Remember he was made to live like a beast in the field, and eat grass like an animal?

      You say your are a preacher, so I don’t have to elaborate;  nevertheless, Roosevelt Nebuchadnezzar days will be effected the day he calls the election, you talking about pride!

      Shame on you boy, you are looking for something from Roosevelt; you will not get whatever he may or may not have promised you!

      Unless, you have amnesia, you might remember in a E-mail I told you; Roosevelt is a user; he uses people like you to accomplish his goals!

      I fail to understand; as they say a learned Judge; or shall I say a former learned judge I imagine who might have some academics has allowed himself to become a puppet, and mouth piece of one who is less educate than him!

      You were fired by the the former Prime Minister of Trinidad & Tobago after serving as a judge, I don’s know if you were fired from that position, but I know you ruin the life of the uncle of my children causing him to spend more than a life sentence the Royal Jail.

    In deed these are the words expected from only a full blown dictator!
    Such are the sentiments of a fool; I have always suggested Roosevelt is a one man government, with a few chosen tokens on a string.
    Anytime someone in a position be that person a manager of a business, or a supervisor who takes credit for every and all things; that person can be classified as a notorious fool!
    The the appropriate word that comic book clown should use is: we are running things” in Dominica.

    Roosevelt is not running fart!

    The people who runs the country, are the permanent secretaries of all the different government ministries!

     He can count himself minister of finance to the day of his demise; the permanent Secretary in the ministry of finance is the king; when he say’s there is no money to do such and such, Roosevelt have to sit in a corner like a little boy!

    Believe me not: when parliament  is dissolved who runs the country?

    Permanent secretaries!

    Last night I listened to skerrit and his utterances was lacking vigor, there was no mention as to how they’ll be attacking the broken industries or economy especial in Roseau south, which once hosted kubuli factory along with Bellot also the fishing industry which serves the entire area all the way to Scott’s head and to the east coast, seems like they’ve been reduced to ferrying Haitians. What we see is the PM has been rewarding waywardness by giving the street youth of the Roseau south money in exchange that they vote for his party but what about the working man the ones who are making meaningful contributions to our society, is this their reward a slap in the face by the PM? My thought is that the government should be building positive productive communities hence the nation!

    Trump, “I alone can do it.” Skerrit, “I run things.” Is there much difference between these two academically challenged men? Only one kind of person knows everything, a fool. Governments that perform well are usually consensus building, consultative, takes a bottom up approach to governance not a top down, it’s inclusive not exclusionary. So all the candidates of the DLP are rendered useless since it’s Skerrit alone runs things. Why vote for these ornamental candidates? They are just figureheads for they have no power in decision making. See how idiotic Skerrit sounds? The man is a dimwit.

    Savarin is the highest paid government official with no following in Dominica
    Is now resident at the 27 million dollar state house …
    His claim to fame was the destruction .of the Labour party as General secretary…of the CSA
    Today letang is in the place of Savarin making simple demands

    Not 100 % Which Savarin used against the former labour leaders to promote the political agenda of the Freedom Party …..
    So Skerrit is now on the program to destroy Letang whilsti having succeded in making his freedom mentor who lived on bakes and chicken outside freedom house to become the most powerful man in Dominica .

He is telling you all plain, I can do what i want with Dominica and Dominicans, it is mine mine and all mine and the DLP supporters don’t even listen to what is being said they all started shouting YEAHHHH. What’s going on in Dominica now is scary and people better recognize what is happening and being said around them.

All this talk is letang fault. The country should have been shut down years ago and every time PM does not respond to demands. He can never fire everyone. Our people have become increasingly selfish to thier own demise. Everyone got double bouble including ministers while few fight yet they afraid to speak.

    In any democratic country, the people have the last say. Only in dictatorial countries a leader would declare that “I run things.” The Skerrit-led DLP regime is a Me, Myself and I government. Only an undemocratic, autocratic, predatory, morally tainted megalomaniac talks like that. People, if by some stroke of a miracle this man happens to remain the PM, can you imagine the political turmoil and wanton victimization in the country? Humility is the mark of a statesman. Skerrit sounds exactly like one of those typical gangbangers. The country is being led to ruins by an ill-bred, bestial, brutish despot. He is uniquely unfit to be leader of anything, not a country for certain.

I remember in Primary School when the teacher threatened to beat me for some wrongdoing, I would point to another classmate and try to convince the teacher that another student committed a ‘bigger wrong’ than I did and he was not punished.

I’ll take a break from this the ‘infinite’ list. A close and thorough study of Dominica financial woes and underdevelopment would scare any rational person. Nineteen years of barrenness is enough.

      “I’m just not sure why these UWPites think they can win the next election when they clearly do not have the support.”
      We Dominicans have had our eyes open for over 18 years watching and documenting the fake and waste of time Skerrit and his DLP has killed our economy and turned our people tto beggars.. Skerrit is not poitically educated and also has no knowledge of socio-economic development especially for a struggling, poor island like Dominica. Skerrit has stained us and our island and has been in weird fanfare political clown who should have never been in government. Skerrit should have been a carnival Band leader, exiting his immature in dance in the carnival band. We need serious dedicated professional people to run Dominica. Skerrit must Go, out, Get lost. We welcome decent, incoming highly professional Hon Lennox Linton and his trusted UWP Team rebuild our Dominica and have our educated, trusted, civil servants and people work together to rebuild our Dominica. Skerrit must…

    Thomas Letang, looks like you got Skerritt right where you want him, which is to appoint the civil servants to fill the available positions permanently. A very wise and tactical move. Let’s see if Skerritt fulfills the promise because he’s known to lie over and over. However, this time if he doesn’t deliver then the civil servants, even the Labourites, will be mad at him and vote him out. Checkmate!!

    Oh yess… an inept PM running D/ca’s economy alright; make no bones about it!

    There is just too much evidence on display that PM Skerrit is too inept to get D/ca’s industrial policy to work.

    He lacks a degree of social cohesion in the population to allow the government to harness all the economic horses to pull in the same direction.

    He lacks clear vision about what can work domestically, regionally and in the real world and what can’t, as well as strong organisational skills on the part of the implementers.

    If that takes, as customary in D/ca, pushing square pegs into round holes, the supporters of Skerrit and this Labour Party government will maintain it can be done, but always to D/ca’s peril as being currently witnessed.

No one else is capable, not even his Cabinet of Ministers. Only a fool declares himself omniscient. God alone runs all things not you Skerrit, you are no deity. The fumes that emanate from this man’s ‘fumarole’ is so nauseating.

        Skerrit is the worse thing ever happened to our failing Dominica that he and his failed Labour government has created. From Rags eh, ok, where the hell then did or made these riches? Was during the 19 years he served as Prime (Odd) Minister? While our people after 19 years have suffered and continue to suffer to are focussed on this one person Skerrit clown and moved from rags to riches while our people under his watch has moved to beggars from Riches to rags under tis so called rich Skerrit. This is what one will refer to a very failed Skerrit and failed corrupt labour government.
        Skerrit is the worse thing that ever happened to Dominica. He has ruined our agriculture, created this fake thievery Red Clinic using states funds to give to people who are poor and jobless and he still knows not how to create jobs for our people. What he does is create this begging Red Clinic and gives out states funds o people he has left in poverty. An abuse of states funds & Skerrit must be disciplined.

In fact, you are wrong mr PM. You work for me. Myself and every dominican who lives, works, pays taxes, and contributes to the growth of our poor country. In the end, all i can say is, Yes Mr. PM, it is you, who is running this country to the ground. we are in a severe economical state. Many dont want to admit it, but we are not growing economically. we are not producing. all we do is import. Nothing is really being exported. Hucksteirng cannot save the country. We need to start producing high valued commodities. We need to focus on manufacturing. God forbid that Clear Harbor closes. Is now you will see nonsense in the country. Meanwhile we act like everything is fine and it can stay how it is. Laborites just waiting for the next freeness, whether is in the form of a jam or a envelope of money or a ride.

      have a conversation with laborites and you will understand. I was in town and i listened to many of the attendees of the Chekira launching. All i could do was shake my head. the things those people said. the way they act. I said to myself, no wonder we are in such a state. It is these kinds of people who are ensuring that we are kept behind. The level of ignorance coming from the mouths of grown people. Their purposes for leaving their little hamlets behind God’s back to come to roseau. I said no wonder we cannot progress, because the majority of Dominicans seem to be ignoramuses who support absolute nonsense. these people care not about economics and society and social issues once a drum is beating and rum is being poured. No wonder. Its all about freeness and good time. No wonder. and they wear their ignorance proudly under their red shirts. they have little boys on trucks singing majee – “Dont vote who dont have money”. But it is our money from the treasury that the DLP is using.

        June 3, 2019

        Ummm … so just because they have a different political opinion and leaning that makes them “ignoramuses”? This idea that supporters of the DLP are all greedy or beggars is highly offensive to the hard working people who are Labourites. I do not agree with everything that DLP does but looking at the two options, it is better than the UWP.

        • Mr. Ben Dover
          June 3, 2019

          I can respect a difference in opinion. You like red i like Green. No problem. But when we begin to discuss the real issues going on, the talks turn. then the ignorance and maypwi starts. At that point i usually shut up because it turns into a circus and no serious dialogue can continue. The bible speaks about casting pearls to swine. makes no sense.

        • Mr. Ben Dover
          June 3, 2019

          Also i never said that all supports of the DLP are beggars. Many of them are not as they usually get their fair share of the pie that is divided. Many of you have you high ranking jobs that you got through political pull string like Capitolin . I never said you all are greedy beggars. I just said the mentality of the majority of laborites is not one that can clearly openly discuss the issues. If that were the case, our PM would have debated the leader of the UWP a long time ago. Instead of having people like Tony Astaphan, who isnt even a resident here, nor is he an elected official, making excuses for the PM from his home overseas.

          First and foremost, all i want to ask you is where can i get a good meal for under $20-25.00 after 8pm in roseau. And im not talking about fried fish or chicken?? nowhere. apart from your kitchen at home.

          Really? However, you are entitled to your own opinion even if it defies common sense. A government in power for nineteen (19) long consecutive years and so many people have to beg for their living. No international airport, no modern port facilities, bad roads, grossly insufficient housing, skyrocketing unemployment, lowest minimum wage in the sub region, murder rate on an all time high, more and more vagrants and mentally ill people roaming the streets aimlessly, health service in a crisis, pensioners barely surviving on pittance, these are the facts of life in Dominica today. If God were to come for His people today, Peter will be at Heaven’s gate with God by Peter’s side. I’m sure that the Almighty will tell Peter let all Dominicans pass through for they have been through hell already.

    Skerrit, you only run things in Dominica because at the last election the people gave you a mandate to run things in Dominica. Right now we don’t want to discuss if that procedure was fair and according to law or not. However, what I would say to you that you would do very well to get of your high horse and tone it down a bit. The clock is ticking and you are living on borrowed time. If you think for one minute that you could survive an election defeat and they by force… Think again!
