“In our struggle this year to preserve Dominica as an independent democratic republic, no voice has been as articulate, unrelenting and uncompromising as that of journalist, Mr. Lennox Linton.”
These words from the December 7th issue of the Chronicle, set the stage for the newspaper’s justification of its selection of Linton, host of the “Between You and Me” talk show on Q95 FM, as its 2012 “Man of the Year.”
The Chronicle identifies some of the key areas of Linton’s advocacy as his “meticulous” chronicling of “the failings and manipulation of the justice system” and challenging and forcing the Integrity Commission “to live up to its statutory mandate to ensure integrity in public office.”
The newspaper also credits Linton with exposing “highly questionable government procurement practices even when those charged with oversight responsibilities have maintained their silence”.
The Chronicle reminds its readers that a few years ago, Linton forced the return of over half a million dollars which the paper says was illegally expropriated from Dominica’s treasury.
It attributes government’s decision to enact a procurement bill which proponents claim will help prevent “similar acts of corruption in public sector procurement”, to that investigation by Linton of the “Garbage Bin Bobol”.
Another of Linton’s accomplishments cited by the paper, is his his education and sensitization of the public about “the shocking failure to investigate and prosecute those responsible for the December 25, 2010 fire-bombing of the home of former Chief Magistrate, ex-serviceman and octo-generian, Mr. Glenworth O.N. Emanuel.”
The Chronicle credits a petition to the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court spearheaded by Linton, for a decision by the court to fix a date for hearing this matter, “within days of receiving the petition signed by over one hundred citizens”.
Linton has also consistently criticized Dominica’s economic performance in the areas of foreign direct investment, export earnings and GDP growth as being well behind those of our neighbors in the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU), a state of affairs he insists is unacceptable, especially given the fact that we have the largest cabinet of ministers in the grouping.
According to the Chronicle, “The integrity of his advocacy on Dominica’s economic challenges has been fully vindicated in a recent report from Business Monitor International in association with the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank which confirms that Dominica holds the cellar position in tourism based ECCU economic performance.”
The paper points out that Linton has tarried “as the conscience of the nation” and not been deterred from the path of righteousness, despite being vilified by his detractors, ‘effectively’ denied employment by the authorities or by anyone associated with them, receiving veiled threats, and ostracized because of his vocal and principled opposition to government wrong doing.
“He has offered hope to many who, for myriad reasons, are reluctant to express their concerns about the path which the authorities have embarked upon,” the weekly publication posited.
The Chronicle sums up its citation of its 2012 Man of the Year this way:
“And so, for his pro bono Herculean efforts to preserve our democracy; to make all our law enforcement officers live up to the high principles of their office; to bring to justice those who have committed heinous crimes against the State and its people, and for his efforts to preserve and uphold the provisions of Dominica’s constitution, The Chronicle selects journalist, Lennox Linton as its Man of the Year 2012.”
Congratulations Mr. Linton, I would hate to see what Dominica would be without people like you.

…………………………………………
P.S: To those waiting to bash me, keep a roll of tissue paper close for when y’all done talking crap..
Congratulations Mr. Linton and not forgetting your family. You have been nothing but professional and a cut above the rest. You desreve this and much more. You have taken alot of verbal abuse from Dominicans but yet you hold still to what you believe in. It is a thankless job and noone can do it better than you. I wish you and your family many blessing for the new year.
Proper reporting you could not have said it any better. Kudos Lennox for being a man not intimidated by anything or anyone.
Well, if it wasn’t Lennox it would be Pappy because
they both talk a lot.
Lennox Linton did not “force the IPO Commission”(as The Chronicle says) to inguire into the allegation of breach of the Code of Conduct by Skerrit for using his Office for private gain.The Ipo Commission rejected two of Linton’s allegations against Skerrit and thought it necessary to investigate the third allegation by holding an inquiry under the IPO Act. The Commission gave full reasons for its decison which is contained in its Third Annual report to the House of Assembly.Both lennox Linton’s and Skerrit’s supporters and lawyers have attacked and condemned the IPO Commission for this.Nobody seem to want the Commission to do its job in accordance with its understanding of the law.They have attacked the Chairman Julian Johnson and selected Commissioners including Babs Dyer,Sir Brian Alleyne and David Bruney in that same Chronicle,and also on Kairi, Q95, and in the DASS and Citizens Forum.They want the IPO to be their footstool.Every thing is partisan and upside down.”Plee tar plee twiss”.
Lennox Linton deserves great credit for his work in exposing the procurement scandals of 2009 and should have been given that accolade in that year.
Dont be too petty give the man his due it dont matter if they decide to act on the third issue they did but ask yourself who is preventing the IPO from doing their job it is right in your face do you have what it takes to speak out against what your boy Toney and Skeritt are doing now by the looks of things the only persons who will be allowed to be on the IPO will be supporters of theres so I would suggest to try to get on board.
Really????
. Well next year a Haitian, Chinese or one of dem Spanish people will get it.
Well not now, In the next 5 to 10 years not man of the year if this matter is not observed for its seriousness, a leading role in Government
Watch this Space
Well Done Lennox for keeping us informed. You presentations have been of a very high standard and raised to the level way above that of those labour party members in the house. They are all stuck at the next level or stuck somewhere in a toilet. HOw disgusting.
Lennox, you have educated us, you have openened our eyes and ears and your stern presentations have been consistent and true. Well done, we wait for more truth of matters of state, the others of the animal kingdom just cannot match…………they are still locked within the Supremo caballevel.well done Lennox well done
Heartiest congratulations to Mr. Lennox Linton on his marvelous award. His hard work, honesty and efforts are appreciated. For, it takes a certain amount of courage to do what he is doing. Lexicographers tell us that courage is that quality of mind which enables men to encounter danger and difficulties with firmness and that cowardice is the want of courage to face danger. By his perseverance, Mr. Linton can certainly teach our people a great lesson in courage and cowardice, particularly those politicians and PIPS who sold out for their mess of potage and then try to pretend that they are eating take out.
May Gog bless you Mr. Linton and give you strength, knowledge, enough resources and community support to continue. Your award epitomizes your selfless approach and extraordinary devotion to the Nature Isle. And, as the little children say, “one day, one day, kankadee…
always very substantive, thorough and insightful, a public intellectual of strength and persistence. Great Choice Chronicle.
The man deserve the title “CHronicle Man of the Year 2012″… what all you vex man… is Lenoox Linton that get the title… ask the Post to name their man of the year nah so the can be square… oops i hear they stop publishing… I hear the SUN say is Lennox too that is their man of the year and even the GIS mad man agree… so its Lennox Linton from Marigot making waves as man of the Year 2012
congrats to u and your wife and children to your parent for a job well done .u deserve to be the man of the year .
Kudos! Lenox well deserve.Do not fear what man can do unto you, in God you have put your trust.
Once again congratulations and best wishes for the New Year, to you and family.
For 2013 the people of Dominica would like PM Skeritt to make the “title deed” with reference to the villas public.
Well Done my bou. Congratulatiosn!
Really? Wow! This with a megaphone whose voice is negative & destructive and usually based on unfounded assumptions and presumed facts is Chronicle’s Man of the Year?
???
Wow! I pray for my country.
@ Wow (The lazy Sycophant)…You better pray first for yourself and then the country because its leaders are crooked and corrupt.They are pillaging and plundering this sick and poor country to the bone. THANKS GOD FOR LENNOS, because God alone knows where these leaders would stop.
CONGRATULATIONS LENNOX. TO THE CHRONICLE WELL DONE!
HURRAY FOR LENNOX HURRAY
I HAS OPENED THE EYES OF MANY AND
HE HAS DONE FOR US WHAT THE CHURCHES HAVE REFUSED TO DO
If this man coud be man of t year, next year we may well expect a child molestor, a terrorist, hitler as man of he year
Guess you have intentions of going for that title
You know something GanghamStyle? I agree with you!
Based on the criteria that they used for choosing Lennox Linton, the Chronicle has seriously hurt its credibility. Not saying that using specific criteria Lennnox is not in fact deserving of such an award but The Chronicle really went overboard and was talking about someonlese it seems.
They should have stuck to two criteria. 1. his unwavering diligence during the Labour years and 2. he consistently generates national dialogue which is paramount to a country’s survival.
To me that’s where it starts and ends. Peeping Tom was right in pointing out that some of the reasons that the chornicle cited really belonged to others like Jerry Brisbane. Now there’s a man who deserves man of the year! Has he been afforded such recognition?
Anyway GS, indeed! The Chronicle should be more neutral and far more careful if their year end award is to maintain any degree of reverence at all!
BUT, nice bump for the opposition I guess amidst Skerrit’s frustrating ability to defeat the system.
Really Chronicle ? Really ?
Yes really
The Chronicle Newspaper is the most consistent printed paper in Dominica and all those who criticize are the first to buy it because they know it carries truth in it.
On the queestion of Lennox Linton; the man has worked hard to “open up Dominicans eyes” to the increasing high levells of corruption and has brought up a lot of issues that would otherwise not be exposed…
Because some of you do not support the man and the Chronicle you will not identify with the man being bestowed man of the year 2012 by the chronicle newspaper but the man deserves the title and thanks to lennox Dominica is not a one party dictatorship state…
I prayed for Tony on saturday night,because I really thought the man would have had a heart attack as the Chronicle announced that MR.LENNOX LINTON was the man of the year.I understood from a friend that Tony’s major problem was because when he was selected the man of the year his wife Porcia was not mentioned,whereas the Chronicle mentioned Mr.Linton’s beautiful wife. In a few days the Integrity Commission will meet to discuss accusations against Skerrit that he either owned or partly owned the Villas.I understood emails implicating Skerrit as the owner of the Villas will be presented.We must not forget that those same emails were referred by Skerrit and Tony as being cut and paste.I hope the commission will request that the originals be produced at the hearing.
YOu people are really obsessed with Tony. Forget about Tony. Focus on Skerrit!
I hope if this email are authentic, the owners of these emails will be able to say how they obtained these so called emails.
I hope you didn’t forget that part
That’s what they do . Concentrate on Lennox, and forget about the country. Congratulations to you Lennox. Job Well Cone.
if they can name this man man of the year America should have name bin laden man of the year for 911 because what Linton is doing presently is trying to bring down a country by word of mouth and god knows what next he might be planing so there for he is no different from osama bin laden
boo!
am going to prat for my self and my family and the my friends THEN AM GOING TO TAKE THE TIME OUT TO SAY ARE BIG BIG PRAY FOR YOU I HOPE THAT ONE DAY YOU WELL GET OF THE SLEEP THAT YOUR IN AND SEE WHATS GOING ON IN DOMINICA
i never heard lennox bring down dominica or should i say, you must believe skerrit is dominica…
and what does a jamacian have to do with dominica internal affairs…
lennox cant be sued because he is truthful… dominicas are getting on like the aficans who kill his fellow brother for politicians who will later make us poor because of their deceitful ways.
And when Charles Savarin as an acting Minister. As a representative of the Government called on Dominica to boycott Brisbane. To basically destroy a business and send all its employees on the unemployment line what what would you call that?
When your government did absolutely nothing to save the 66 jobs at Aerial Tram what would you call that?
When the poor and elderly and mentally ill have no place to go to for protection and care but we have $27 million state palace what would you call that?
and the list goes on but who has the time?
But you are accusing of Lennox of being a Bin Laden? Really? allu is real dingbats oui.
Ever heard of konoomoonooo yardie. I am sure you would prefer the name kooyon.
a co worker of yours says that you are too illiterate…i thank you
Congrats! Only the truth will set our country free. You stand for truth and justice for all. The haters will not see unless their backs are grinded on the wall. Then they will feel the pain; only time will tell.
I got a small task for mr Linton it is to do with the WARNER LAND SALES and the court case now ongoing between his journalist friend and ….. I hope he can get the papers for this case. Then I would support his nominatio0n for the Chronicles award. Cant be selective and be considered noble. NO WAY.
what does that have to do with the people that were given the mandate to govern or country and they just plunder, cheat, lie, steal… and maybe kill
if you know about his journalist friend and you have the proof and the facts why don’t you comeout from behind the curtains and speak out. All you Domnichens like people to do things for all you. who knows maybe if you take up that case of lennox journalist friend and the land sales at warner maybe just maybe you will get to be the chronicle’s man of the year in 2013. stop hiding in the shadows my friend come out and be seen speak out and be heard or shut up. some of you hatelennox with all the guts you all have but at the same time you all want him to speak on issues for you all.
Put him in as PM on an Independent ticket. Maybe then some progress will be made.
Let’s not get carried away. Investigative reporting is one thing and good for him he has won an award based on that skill but because he was dead silent during the UWP years he is no way a potential candidate to bring Dominica forward. He will only bring about more of the same just under a different banner.
Well deserved cuz.
Geda
hearts off to you sir, keep on doing the good job, keep democracy alive
“hearts off”? you want to kill us already? We’ll take our “hats off” and hope you’ll accept that instead!
I need you to expose the private sector as well. The manner in which they take advantage of your so call Dominica on their make ups. They make all the profits then turn around and blame the government. That is the area you really need to investigate if you really care for Dominica as you say. I am waiting.
Yes look into that area also and that’s why I believe that you shouldn’t run for election because we need someone like you to bring out the ills of the GOVT regardless who is in power so I ask you to think about that dont go into GOVT if the UWP win just to join cover ups that’s not who you are so dont give up you position ” Between You And Me ” we cant do without that program.
well deserved. congrats. we will give you more sometime in the future. the highest the country has to offer, i think you should get. keep up the good work. thanks for the great service to country.
Great job Lennox..Congratulations.I have always had a deep level of respect for you sir. I have never dealt with you personnally but have admired your determination and perseverance..You just dont grow weary..as the words of the good book says “Let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not, as we have therefore opportunity…Let us do good unto all men..I bless you and your family sir..My advice to you sir..please stay out of politics..Stay on YOUR side and speak the truth and speak it always..No matter who or what color it offends..
Try to imagine a Dominica with no Lennox Linton!!! Congratulations Bro!!
(sarcastic tone
) Yeah Lennox!!!
strupesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. Man of the Year My ….; A man who will do all he can to become the Prime Minister of Dominica. But pa la nuh. Not in DA.
If Skerrit continues on his current path, I can see Lennox being PM.
Lenox Linton, continue the good work. History will absolve you. And I think that it has already started.
Bad choice won’t buy another one this guy is partisan is all his work and is very polarizing, SHAME.
On that note, I think they should name Fox News as Network of the Year in the US for being “fair and balanced.”
Dorrival, I’m sure there are many Americans, who would subscribe to that view. That is the beauty of democracy. People are entitled to express themselves and have a choice. The trouble in Dominica is that we have very little tolerance for someone else’s opinions and take umbrage at the slightest deviation from views that do not strictly agree with our own. Very ironic for a country that prides itself on a religious heritage that teaches one to love others like one’s self, dont you think so? “Merry Christmas” (…in the sincere hope that messages does not offend anyone!)
My initial reaction is to laugh at the truth of this because Lennox certainly would not have won that award during the UWP years when he was as silent as church mouse!
But you now something? He is the only one out there diligently researching and speaking out now so within the environment of insanity that seems to be Dominica’s MO, independents are forced to say thank goodness he is around.
haha thats a good one.
oh congrats Mr. Linton on Man of the Year!If is was not for you many things would be swept under the carpet like it never happened!Congratulation!God’s blessings!
you need to be congratulated for your level of stupidity
He speaks the truth. I love him for that.
CONGRATS MR LINTON.
The Truth at DCP, when Tony Astaphan was his attorney????
This message is to “The vassals and feudatories representing therein Stead the British Crown, Celtic Rite and the Roman Curia all artificial beings, invisible, intangible, and existing only in contemplation of law. Being the mere creatures of law,,,
Your representation have been deplorable as a voice of inhabitants therein realm Dominca, your actions have demonstrated that you are part of ádam: the Ones who show blood (in the face), i.e. flush or turn rosy: – be (dyed, made) red (ruddy) check your biblical concordance you will comprehend,,,
Dominica is NOT “an independent democratic republic” never have been and will never be as it’s being identifies as a Commonwealth Nation, wherefore Commonwealth merely denotes:COMMONWEALTH, government. A commonwealth is properly a free state, or republic, having a popular or representative government. The term has been, applied to the government of Great Britain. It is not applicable to absolute governments. The states composing the United States are, properly, so many commonwealths. 2. It is a settled principle, that no sovereign power is amenable to answer suits, either in its own courts or in those of a foreign country, unless by its own consent. 4 Yeates, 494
Dominica being its own Free state would not be dependent on the British Crown for its judicial affairs, decision and its rule of Law,,,
From time to time vassals have disregarded comments here and deleted aspects of points brought across to the masses which accordance there with Free Speech is not the habits of Ones attempting to bring light to action(s) affecting Public Good,,,
Just as you all are, Lenix Linton, is as much guilty of the actions leading up to the plight facing the inhabitants thereon Dominca as you ALL have taken the oath of Allegiance to the Orders controlling the commercial aspects of this realm and for that you will be adjudicated accordingly>>>
Stop Pretending to be Some-Thing,,,
you-all are “naught”, in the natural order of things!!!
Poor man. Go and smoke another joint and perhasps it may clear your obviously muddled mind.
don’t worry the truth will eventually be revealed,,,
“You can fool some people some times but you cant fool all the people all the time”
I am nt naive to so ignore the fact that Ennox has hi political motives however Lennox certainly deserve such recognition not only be ause he as single handedly exposed te filthy and immensely corrupt attributes of the Dominica Labor party but that te quality of his research and presentation cannot be denied. In fact the quality of presentation by hs detractors on Kairi ( none of them) can compare to that which Lennox serves.
So far Lennox has been the one exposing the lies coming from SKERRIT and Tony and it has been working very well indeed. I am so impressed with the way in which Lennox through his consistency is able t prove Cotradictions , be it from Tony, Bubbles, CRAZY, SKERRIT ,the priest attorney,the passports salesman senior attorney, the evil priest and pastors, Isidore et al.
Lennox’s tenacity is admirable. His willingness to keep going after the truth is unprecedented , in Dominica. So far all that he has done to reveal the massive corruption with the Tony Astaphan Labor Party have been credible; We know who own the villas, we know about the French passport maneuvers, we know without a doubt about te bobol with fertilizer, we knw about the money laundering to return the loot ack to the treasury, we know about the Layou River Hotel fiasco, the bubbles lies, the Felix Gregoire silence, the Denny Confession, Tony’s lies by any and all means. The lst goes on.
If Tony can get the recognition then certainly anybody else can – even Denny Shillingford would become a worthy candidate
Is this short hand? Or is your overall grammar, writing and diction poor? A word to the wise: Proofread
@ Reader It’s not short or long hand.It’s about the truthfulness, honesty and integrity that the man of character, called Lennox Linton displays.
You are not concerned about the fat finger errors ; you are simply upset at the truth which I wrote about and because you don’t have the ability to counteract what I said you have resorted to kindergarten commentary.
He still can’t find a job…a wonder why…lime DOMLEC marpin …dysfunctional dude
Well if you are going to accuse Lennox of being dysfunctional what would be the accusation for Skerrit and his cabal? Oh wait! dysfunctional does have a different conotation to criminal!
Further thats what makes Dominica 3rd world. In fact not 3rd world more like 6th world! That people with Lennox’s skills for investigative reporting cannot operate successfully under the wrong government unlike say the USA where you have a Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly making hundreds of millions of dollars under Obama or you have a Bill Mahr having his own multi-million dollar deal with HBO under Bush.
6th world versus 1st world.
The Chronlcle may well be within its undisclosed criteria to name Mr. Linton as Man of the year but, the reasons that it has submitted for doing so are not only vague and abjectly weak but also confusing. The Chronicle could have done a much better job of its citation.
I actually agree that Mr. Linton is deserving of such an honour, not because of some noble pro-democracy stance, which is ludicrous, or of his «achievements» in criticising the government; but because he has been steadfast in his advocacy for what he considers to be deserving issues.
However this is where the Chronicle falls short: It confuses Mr. Linton’s self-serving efforts with noble deeds in the interest of preserving «our democracy!» Let us examine briefly a few of the most preposterous claims made n the article.
1.DNO: “meticulous” chronicling of “the failings and manipulation of the justice system” ….Well, Mr. Linton’s sense of justice does not extend to his own definition of justice. In other words, justice is only served when it serves his interest; otherwise, he will resort, like a tempestuous little boy to tantrums dismissive of every institution that he claims to want to protect. Did you hear Mr. Linton cry down a certain lawyer and former top UWPwee leader when that lawyer was found to be involved in questionable conduct? I don’t hear Mr. Linton crying out for the police officer and his family whose house was firebombed while they slept or watched TV. I do not hear Mr. Linton crying out for justice for the victims of many unsolved murders in our island. Justice cannot be selective. It is a farce to link Mr. Linton with any serious attempt at improving our justice system. He speaks out only when it serves his interest.
2.DNO: «It attributes government’s decision to enact a procurement bill which proponents claim will help prevent “similar acts of corruption in public sector procurement”, to that investigation by Linton of the “Garbage Bin Bobol”….No. This is nothing more thana weak effort at inflating Mr. Linton’s résumé. Credit for this bill is more aptly placed at the feet of others, e.g Mr. Brisbane, Mr. Leblanc of ACE Engineering, and Government .
3.DNO: «Another of Linton’s accomplishments … his education and sensitization of the public…» If our schools educated our children as Mr. Linton is claimed to educate, Mr. Linton, himself, would be protesting against the schools as an arena where our children are brainwashed. He has spent the better part of the past years struggling in a «fishing expedition» to arrive at conclusions that make sense, to no avail. Over and over again, he proves to be miserable at arriving at conclusions. How then can he «educate» when his logic is as wobbly as Humpty Dumpty on a tightrope?
4.DNO: « The Chronicle credits a petition to the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court spearheaded by Linton”. Oh Please! Any riff raff can use the same mechanisms used to access the Court. No big deal here.
5.DNO: «The paper points out that Linton has tarried “as the conscience of the nation” … » Lol! Come now. I don’t that even Mr. Linton believes this. If he has been unable for more than 10 years to reap the rewards of his efforts, how then do you conclude that he has this much impact on the «nation?!» LOL!!
6.DNO:« “And so, for his pro bono Herculean efforts to preserve our democracy.»….Well, this is another huge joke. Democracy? Unless the Chronicle’s definition of democracy is mob rule. This man has bent into all sorts of convoluted positions to brainwash the public and to persuade it to reject the results of a legal process that he will admit is sanctioned by the same document, the Constitution that he claims to champion. Frankly, Mr. Linton has proven to be more a threat to «our democracy» than a facilitator.
I would name Mr. Linton Man of the Year though. I would do so because he has succeeded in keeping Dominicans thinking about the state of our nation. Presently, no one does it like he does. Through his constant shameless, unmitigated and unprecedented bombardment of our ears with suppositions, gossip, rumours, phantasmagoria, and facts, he inevitably forces us to ask questions about the direction in which we are heading. Some of us question whether freedom of speech means freedom to say anything, while some champion his brand of journalism as a model for all nations. I think even his enemies and detractors pay attention to what he says. Most Dominicans clearly do not agree with him (as is evidenced in recent elections). However, I think it is correct to give him credit for keeping certain public issues on the front burner, doing what the official opposition has refused to do. (BTW, the alleged firebombing of a house at Goodwill is not a public issue.) Credit is also due to him and others for helping return monies to the Treasury, I think this is Mr. Linton’s greatest achievement, his apogee. He has not proven «bobol» in either the fertiliser or garbage can scandals, but he surely has proven that we were overcharged. Thanks!
So, by all means, the gentleman is deserving of such an honour, I think; only, certainly not for the reasons stated by the Chronicle. Then again, what can we expect from the Chronicle?
Tom, please don’t let your political persuasion cloud your normally lucid sense of judgement. Lennox is not a saint, nor does he pretend to be but he certainly provides a very healthy counterbalance, which is essential if we are to preserve our democracy and for that he is to be commended. Just imagine we would only have GIS to go by for instance.
Malatete you agree with Peeping Tom man. Peeping laying out the facts as usual. Yes i!!!
you old fool …. be quiet
Your problem dear person is that you are peeping and not looking and therefore miss alot. i would suggest that you take time out to have a proper look instead of peeping.
1)because you didn’t hear doesn’t mean that he had nothing to say about the former UWP political leader.
2)As much as you may want to give credit to others, the very nature and wording of the act suggest that the reason for this act is solely due to the bins transaction.
3)you certainly have no sense of logic if you cannot see the logicin what r. Linton says.
4)yes that is a big deal because no riff raff has found it fit to do what he did.
5)you too do not believe what you have said here.
6)What can say? you are so brained washed that you cannot see past the utterrubbish being dished out by a certain SC.
I belive you forgot to discredit this one, “The Chronicle reminds its readers that a few years ago, Linton forced the return of over half a million dollars which the paper says was illegally expropriated from Dominica’s treasury.”
Go ahead Peeping Tom have a go at this one and tell us the truth?
That was just a bunch of “jibberish”! You seem to be jealous of Mr. Linton. Do something positive for your Country – rather than spewing garbage and discouraging those who make an effort. Lennox never claimed to be perfect – but he sure has more credibility than the entire corrupt Skerrit Govt!!!
@Peeping Tom,
What you trying tony?you want to agree but your heart cannot take that?
Did you talk to Collins about leaving your goal alone. Why you have beef with Linton when is Collin that doing you harm.
After all the lies I say for you Collin you horning me, after all that I ave done for you Collin you horning me.
I lie about the Bin bobol and fertilizer to save your face yet you horning me
A lengthy piece of garbage. You have got to live with it.Linton is the Chronicle’s man of the year,for his bringing to light all the nefarious activities and malfaesance in public office of those imposters who are posing as leaders here in this poor and failed country. WELL DESERVED LINTON!
Peeping Tom this is where Lennox separate’s himself from your operation team – Tony was given the same recognition last year and Lennox Linton did not go all out to criticize the chronicle or to launch an attack on Tony so as to devalue Tony’s award. Lennox has proven time and time again that he has more class and excellence than those on your side of the fence. Hairy Chien Mais dir danye blanc.
The honest man cannot deny that Lennox is worthy of the recognition.
By the way Lennox did chastise Earl Williams – several times.
STUPES!!!!!!!!
Oh How this is heartening to me… YOU ARE A REAL LOVER OF COUNTRY. RICHLY DESERVED.
By listening to your programmes, you have caused a 360 degree change in my political life. You truely deserve it. GOOD CHOICE. I LOVE THIS MAN!
At the end of this corrupt reign of this corrupt regime, it must be said that one man on island who never gave up speaking out about the corrupt acts of this government was you Lennox.
CONGRATS! And to the Chronicle ‘EXCELLENT cHOICE’!
A 360 degree turn means that you are right where you started!
@ Reader. No it means that you are a new person,you have wiped out everything. Stop confusing yourself.This is not Maths your idiot. It’s politics.
Excellent choice!. This man has been the biggest and sharpest thorn in the flesh of the 18 pieces of plastic referred to as the corrupt cabal, posing as a government.The sharpest thorn in the flesh of a corrupt regime that has brought the country to its knees as one of the poorest in the Caribbean. Instead of doing what they have been elected to do, time after time after time, they find themselves concentrating on this one man, and the matters of state are neglected.
Lennox is the flagship of patriotrism on island, an excellent individual, with an umblemishd record re honesty, integrity and character. Thanks to your entire family Lennox for giving Dominica such an honourable gentleman, who despite the vitriol, vituperations and invectives hurled at him, he continues to comes out stronger and stronger.
Without you most of us can imagine the level of corruption, the malfeasance that would prevail on island. It makes most of us double,treble or even quadruple our love for you, and the tremendous amount of pro bono work that you have done, and continue to do on behalf of all of us.
HOORAY! HOORAH! HOOREY!
So many Dominican has done so well all over the world this year, whats wrong with BARRON. You made this man look like a fool.
What 4
Journalist, Mr. Lennox Linton.”Truly deserving of this great award.
«Journalist?»
Ridiculous why is this ridiculous. Congratulations Mr Linton.I recommend that the next Govt. employs you as the Ombudsman a position which the constitution of D/ca mandates. Although as a govt. minister you would also work for justice and for the Good of Dominica’s people. I was told that everyone does have a price since i do not have a price so too i know you do not have one. God Bless You.
DREAM ON JOAN, DREAM ON
If you want to give up your program that would be another position you would do very well in because the Constitution should me the good of the nations.
No surprise there.
Pretty flowers bro, that’s good you got them while you are still here Well deserving, but please don’t allow the sweet scent to put you to sleep keep on doing the hard work, one day we will reap that crop of you labour
WE LOVE YOU BRO.
Congrats Mr. Linton. Very well dwserved I must say. Thanks for you selfless service and sacrifice you are making for the country. Your reward will soon come from above..
Assertive, NOT Agressive!
The Chronicle should be ashamed of itself!!!!
if he is man of the year, we must be aliens man?

well that is one paper that won’t be getting my money
Good , Great choice ! ! !
CONGRATS: There could be nobody else to recieve this than you bro wish I could put my name but when I do return to DA will give you a BID HUG anytime well deserve CHRONICLE. Fighting to see that there is transperancy,
I have always felt that success is not about money or fame but of victory. The names that endure are not those of big money men and women but of those who were victorious. The success and endurance of Jesus the Christ is victory over death. The essential successful person is one who has victory over fear. Fear is the key to the front door of success or the slinky even stinky backdoor of failure. Lennox Linton has been raised up for this victory for while the rest of us cower and tremble close to the backdoor exit in the darkest shadow of “see nothing-say nothing he stands on mountains and strides out boldly going where the rest of us are too scared to go. Congratulations Lennox. For you it is appointed to ride the stormy seas.
ebeh papa.
Congratulations are in order to Lennox. Your efforts at healing Dominica has strengthened many a weak and feeble mind, the voiceless and destitute among us. Thanks and God bless you.
Thank you Lennox well earned .
Keep talking truth to power.well deserved
I’m in agreement with the New Chronicle news paper for choosing Mr Lennox Linton for their Man of the Year . I believe that this honor to him is deserving for the following reasons : he has been relentless in his pursuit to uncover lies , tricks , illegalities and scandals in public governance – for not giving up on the fight for truth and transparency in public office and government – for sacrificing his life , time , talent and intellect for the sake of humanity and justice . I don’t know Lennox Linton personally however I have listened to his talk show from time to time and I’m convinced that he is truly a brilliant journalist . Many have questioned his qualifications to define him as such but those who have questioned , we trained by him and received their experiences from him . Lennox is extremely clever and eloquent and no one can take that from him . Job well done Mr Linton and I’m truly happy for you and your family- congratulations !
thats why i did not buy a copy this week this is insane and the chronicle has gone insane.what democracy what a laugh
@ Anonymous WHITE DUST IN YOUR BRAIN,has also driven you insane.
Your $1.50 wont make a difference.
Its similar to Edison James receiving award from the UWP…
Who reads the Chronicle anyway?
Idiots like you wont. In fact you won’t read anything,other than to behave and act like a fool.
you do not read that is why you are not informed!
future minister of foreign affairs
Lennox is Brilliant Mind Period…
Dominicans must be careful when they speak for What They wish for the Bro, i know they mean well..
But based on our System of Governance,Placing a Young Vibrant Man like Lennox for President is Not Brilliant thinking…
A President in our Present System is someone who Will just sit and read Magazines…Very much Powerless..Based on our system.
This dude needs to be a Ambassador,at UN etc Lobbying Issues dealing with Top Level Diplomats.
So the idea of President for the brethern is later In his life span…
Lennox will go far always he is opened minded, Reads allot.He Fears no one…
Nonsense
dont be like that anonymous he is in deed an intelligent individual, and i think he is the one that will carry your country over.
well deserved …..keep up the good work continue to help in bringing our country to what it was. one of democracy and good governance
Thumbs up!Well deserved for a work well done.Not many has done a good and righteous work for Waitukubuli.Not the so called Roman church,not the so called evangelists and pastors,neither the rastas.None of those so called organisation which pretends to come in the name GOD.Lennox Linton my brethren,long live your efforts!
Congratulations to you on your selection as the Chronicle’s Man of Year 2012. Well-deserved !! Keep the faith! Praises to Shirley and the twins for their sacrifice are also due!!
You sounding a bit like learned Coounsel last night, totally frustrated and struggling to find enough isulting invectives. It can only mean they are seriously worried about that man! One may not always agree with Lennox, and that is healthy too but at least his integrety is unsullied.
Well deserving

I think that he could now ask why why aren’t you speaking proper english.
We are always ready to judge while we are imperfect.
Ridiculous.
Too bad for you
Ridiculous what? They outlined and justified how they arrived at this decision… can you question any one of them? This title was earned. Well deserving I must say
@Riduculous.He is a man of integrity. A real lover of country. A patriot. You must learn to live with that.
