Deputy Leader of the Dominica Labour Party and chairman of the Roseau South Constituency Association Ambrose George has stated that associates and surrogates of the opposition United Workers Party (UWP), both locally and internationally, “must be condemned for what it is worth.”
In a statement, George described the motives and actions of the opposition over the past weeks as a “roguish” and “calculated” and must “feel the power of Labour.”
“This is nothing more than a roguish, calculated effort on the part of the United Workers Party to derail the ongoing economic development programs that the Labour Party government is currently undertaking,” he said.
Dominica’s Citizenship By Investment Program (CBI) has been the topic of much discussion since a report on CBS 60 Minutes, which shone the spotlight on Caribbean passports for sale. The debate continued unabated after Dominican ex-diplomat Alireza Zibahalat Monfared, an Iranian national, was arrested was arrested and extradited to Iran on allegations that he was involved in that middle eastern country’s biggest-ever corruption scandal.
The UWP is being blamed by many for all the discussion and debate because the party’s Political Leader, Lennox Linton, was interviewed by CBS.
George is the latest Dominica Labour Party (DLP) bigwig to take aim at the UWP in the matter, saying the party is acting under what is referred to “as desperate politics.”
“This politically dishonest attempt at side tracking government from the important work it is involved in must not be allowed to go unchallenged. This calculated and mischievous campaign at tarnishing the good name of our Prime Minister as is currently being played out in the International media, cannot be allowed to see the light of day and so must be punished for what it is worth,” he affirmed.
According to him, it is in the view of the government that perpetrators of this “collaborated untruth” on the Dominica psyche “must be exposed,” and urges the Prime Minster to get involved.
“We urge the Hon. Prime Minister to do everything within his power to bring these perpetrators to justice,” he said.
He added that such peeople must “feel the power of Labour” to understand what is needed to protect a person’s good name and character.
He stated that the government should continue using the Citizenship By Investment program (CBI) as it is in “the interest of Dominicans.”
“It is obvious that the success of the program has caused a tremendous amount of instability for the leadership and supporters of the United Worker Party. Their only hope at getting into government is to embark on measures that will negatively impact the government,” he said.
He also said that any attempt to undermine “such an important contributor” to socio-economic development has to be “met head-on and condemned.”
“The promotions of the CBI Program must continue in a manner that will mitigate the negative impact this latest smear campaign can have. We therefore lend our total support to government effort at promoting this very import revenue earning stream,” George stated.
He urges all parliamentarians on the government side, ministers of cabinet, party officials, and all peace loving Dominicans to “lend their voice to this condemnation.”
“As a law abiding society, we urge all Dominicans to understand their role in ensuring the smooth and orderly management of our country. Any attempt to forget the laws of the land and to relieve the duly elected government of the country, has to be rebuked for what it is worth, by all law abiding citizens,” George remarked.
George contested the Roseau South Constituency in the last general election but was defeated by Joshua Francis of the UWP.

Hello and good afternoon my people. Well Mr George you are an educated man and this is a well written article but you are making a fundamental mistake by speaking out on behalf of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister should hold a news conference and answer all questions about the CBI Program otherwise you and others will keep speaking on his behalf. Mr George just tell us that you are stepping forward now because you want to be the Prime Minister in a few months because if you don’t appeal to the PM supporters you won’t stand a chance.
So my friend, Mr. George, you are only concerned with the soiling of the name of the PM; what about the good name of Dominica? I invite you to read what the PM of Antigua and Barbuda, Gaston Brown, had to say THIS MORNING re their CBI. None of you has any integrity: you only speak when the PM calls for you to so do. Gregor Nassief wrote about the farmers protest in Salisbury and he admitted that Skerrit had made the request. Mrs. Paul Ian Douglas, Justina Charles among others, ALL spoke ONLY after Skerrit’s request. But this does not surprise me since you were also involved in shady transactions when your friend and associate was taken some years ago in Miami. You were spared and now you have the audacity to talk???
HOTEP!
Boy you are good.I give you 100%!!!
Another Labour liar, but why should I be surprised, after all they are of their father the Devil and the lust of their father they will do. He was a Murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the Father of it.
John 8:44
Ambos you are no strange to the INTL Crime unit…..stay quiet before you get yourself back in trouble.
armbruise do not forget tha you and your padner giraud went looking for a phantom bank when he was arrested in puerto rico you almost became a guest of the federal authorities in the usa . so close you mouth ,don’t speak shhhhh.
Ambrose George a big man like you … you making sense?
Ambrose,go and hide your face.
you escape so you opening your mouth.
You remember. AMBROSE PWEH KOOWE
he thinks and u think he escape. Nobody escapes the wrath of God
Ambrose George, Ambose George….have you no shame??
RESURRECTION: BIBLICAL CHARACTERS WHO ROSE FROM THE DEAD.
Easter is the Christian holiday that celebrates the Resurrection, the day that Jesus was raised from the dead. Many people have heard the story about how Jesus died and rose again. However, many people do not know that the Bible tells about several other people who were raised from the dead. A list of them follows:ZAREPHATH’S SON, EUTYCHUS, DORCAS/TABITHA, LARAZUS NOT THE ONE FROM MASSACRE RESIDING IN NY, JARIRUS NAIM’S SON ,SHUNAMITE’S SON and now ABROSE GEORGE A POLITICAL CHARACTER rather than biblical.
Ambrose George we are in the beginning of febuary you are rather early.
R UHOPING SKERRIT RESIGNS SO AS DEPUTY u CAN BOUNCE BACK IN?
Dominica is a crazy place…. filled with liars and cheats…
Trump is looking at you guys
TIME WILL TELL
I see that the little man inside his head has begun talking to him again.
Ha!Ha!Ha!
I hope he knows that only elected parliamentarians can become Prime Minister of Dominica.
This is the only song that Labour Party can sing ,that UWP is against the CBI program and as such it’s against the development of the country.They know it’s a lie and their supporters know it is untrue.Time and time again the leadership and members of the UWP have stated and restated their support for the CBI program and the country’s development as a whole.It is the leadership of the Labour party who are against the country’s development and the CBI.They continue to give citizenship to criminals and crooks,which has blighted the program and the country.They continue to keep the public in ignorance about which new citizens are made diplomats and we now find out that most of them have run-ins with the law.Labour part is killing the goose which lays the golden egg.By Ambrose and high ranking officials of the Labour party remaining silent in the face of criminal activity as it relates to our heritage,they are against the country and once they benefit some way or other don’t care…
Very well put together.However you should have referred to the DLP government as an EVI and ROGUE regime!!
Ambrose, once detained with an accomplice in Florida, who was jailed and you only escape because of your diplomatic passport. Twice dismissed from government cabinet and then trounced by Joshua in Roseau south.Haven’t you had enough? I can only shake my head bro. and ask why you should give up any shred of credibility you had left. You all are a bunch of lemmings being led to the abyss for the glory and ego of one man? Well, I can not feel sorry for you Ambrose, you had it coming.
Didn’t the PM give him a “Job” paying $80,000 per year. Does anyone one know what he is producing for that big fat paycheck. Additionally, the man drawing a big fat pension cheque.
Dominique fini bat… such a character to come talk on anyone behalf.
you forgot cartoon
Is that the case of the ”Drowning man grabbing at straws”; come on DLP is that the best you could find to defend the indefensible. So when you guys spoke of bringing out dirty linen in public this is a clear case and Ambrose George is that case. Why does this Government want to get rid of ”pit toilets”? some of these DLP operatives and supporters do belong there.
Dr Skerrit said: “When you see Lennox Linton, what do you call him? Traitor! When you see Thomson Fontaine, what do you call him? Traitor! When you see Monelle Williams, what do you call her? Traitor!!”
Do you see how embarrassingly ridiculous that you, Mr. George are threatening “feel the power of Labour” while calling all peace-loving Dominicans to “lend their voice”.
The current Labour Party upper echelons like yourself are a bunch of …… Remember Dr. Skerrit and President Savarin were members of the Freedom Party before they hijacked the Labour Party. Ask what you can do for your country. Talk about International criminals being issued Dominica Diplomacy; the Freedom of Information Act, Whistleblower Act, Data Privacy/Protection Legislation or get out of the way so those who really care about Dominica can.
Please Mr. George I thought you were no longer in politics because you have failed miserably at it.–go rest yourself man – you know better…… I am glad that the people of Roseau south kicked you out….
Mr. George stop your nonsense because you well know that UWP leader, collleagues and all supports are not the problem it is bigger that DLP or UWP now, it’s the CBI program and that’s where the discussion should be instead of the personal attacks from you and PM and others. It’s time to stop and listen people want answers so put your energy to convince PM to stop brushing the topic a side it’s serious.
Mr.George do you believe in the Freedom of the press .
Freedom of speech
Freedom of assemble
Well these are our right and we will stand up for it no matter what. Dominica belong to all of us not just to some.
SSSHHHAAAMMMEEE, Where were you all the time, you should not be talking at all after you fired. PLEASE do the Honourable thing just keep your mouth shot you cant give no directives.
All You give Ambrose a break now.
He is only following orders. I am sure the orders went out for all DLP big wigs & constituency groups to make a supporting statement for CBI.
Expect many more such statements to come out soon.
Labourites should see clearly how the UWP supporters are dancing on Mr. George. I know DNO this is thier mouth piece. But you read these comments. Disagree with them because you know better and yet still remain quiet whilst workers supporters just unleash their utruths as they wish. Sometimes one person writitng several times giving the impression that it is so many people. Labourites it is time to be counted. stand in full solidairty with your party.
you to shameless what labourites have to be counted for…..illiterate
a person can like or dislike a comment only once…. so judge from the amount of dislikes your comment gets to see if is one person or many who finds your comment a foolish one
everyone who supports the movement lets show this fool that we dont stand for nonsense and the DLP must GO!!!!! dislike this comment to show him or her we are many.
Shut up, boy. This is not about UWP and Labour. It is about Ambrose who was implicated in a fertilizer scandal, and whose email correspondence put him in touch with some Spanish high risk no-goods. And by the way, the Labourites you are calling on to stand and be counted, it is those same Labourites who bowled Ambrose a bouncer and kicked him out of office in the last elections. You really want them to stand and be counted again?
Why didn’t you choose the landfill to dump your garbage?
Foolish!!! It’s not about the Labour Party, it’s about Dominic’s future. Jean, you sound so stupid and ignorant.
He just woke up! Where were u for the past few weeks?! Slow like a palloot
Now palloots are slimy creatures. You are not suggesting…………?
Ambrose needs to keep his head down and mouth shut and recall the circumstances of dismissal when he was at the ministry of works
Satan trying to correct sin !
smh !
Dominica is not a country !
Them man trying their best to bring down DA….but we better than that, the PM and the government working.
Labour forever
Williams , I love Dominica , do you?
Think about that for a minute.
khadaffi and sadam huseing thought they would be forever too
where dem??
correction: Hussein
Williams tell us why the PM is not coming out and address the nation about all the news we are hearing.Tell him to come out and tell us the truth if he has nothing to hide. He is sending all his stoogies and they do his bidding but he stays in the shadows. WHY??
Boy Ambrose have guts! Fired twice by two Prime Ministers, for alleged corrupt practices, then dumped by the Roseau South Constituency, he suddenly resurrects and wants to give a speech on morals and ethical behaviour. Yes I! Doesn’t Margaret need you at her bedside anymore? Do you still dish out communion at your church on Sundays? Boss, westaytwachill eh! Chen cow quiet!
Here you go again. Ambrose was NEVER a communion minister at his church in Newtown. what you are saying makes no sense to those who know. HE WAS NEVER A COMMUNION MINISTER. AND IF YOU WANT TO GO AFTER THE MAN’S MORALS WHY DON’T YOU START WITH YOUR PARTY. YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO FAR.
if he was never one y was he giving out losty in church service so often? all that have people running from Fatima. I like how it empty now-a-days. too many wicked people in there. . just look at his face
and it is fact scambrose used to share losty
Well he was a “”Lustre” minister.
it is true U only have to look to the former PRIST LENNOX LAWRENCE FROM UR………
Josh Shaw et al. Whatever your opinion of Ambrose,(great dislike) is does not change the truth. he never gave “losty, lusty lustre” at Fatima. That is a fact that neither you or your “Likes” can change – or make true. You may continue with your ignorance if you so wish. Sir!
But that’s what his good at what you think a RAT is good at ?
so run Ambrose run…
Ambruise Pwen Couwee!! DLP Usain Bolt!
Ambrose you should not even talk, you for got Ambrose
More jokes for Dominicans “must be condemned for what it’s worth”..hahahaha..it ain’t worth much at all coming from Ambrose George, heck it may be completely “worthless” even.
But, Dominicans shouldn’t be surprised, till now they never got to the bottom of who sent counterfeit $$$ to Cuba and had poor people children embarrassed and remanded as students in a foreign country..nobody paid for this injustice..
.They only care about themselves..The UWP has nothing to do with these passports sold to Criminals..how comes nobody in DLP asking a legitimate question about that..OMG!!..Get Real in Dominica ppl..Ambrose if you Love Country Ask Skerrit that!! Stop this foolishness..Allu under a spell or what!!!??
So Ambrose is deputy leader of DLP?No wonder we are in Such trouble…
Ambruise Pwen Couwee..Can you tell me about Monfared?
Wow! I Don’t believe Ambrose George. A spent specimen with no credibility and no shame. You mean labour party cannot find anyone better ? Shame on labour party man!
Ambrowse George it is because of people like you and your action that have the country in such a mess. All you fellas believe that the international community will continue to allow all you to use their country’s to continue your …… activities. the CBI programme is under pressure ….. and i am sure that these risk was not created by the opposition. I dear all you to set foot in the united states if all you have the balls.
my brother that’s all you people from that gov side can do in Dominica ?Tell the people how well Antigua and the rest small is. lands a doing with jobs and putting there people to work, on to Dominica but time will tell
I heard Tony Astaphan questioning the character of Kenneth Rijock and and accused uwp of having a man of such character advocating for them and he not seeing Ambrose? Tony “He knew, he knew, he knew,” right Tony?
Again my Dominican people you all need to understand that’s how you get the best out of any team just like this DLP they all the same so they stand as one, my friend a bad head gives out a BAD BODY
I thought this man had left politics alone since Skeritt dumped him for the younger Josiah. I know all Dominicans have a democratic right to express themselves fairly, nut Ambrose, who had carried tons of political garbage when he was a Minister. The man should behave himself. Be ready DNO, for the massive amount of adverse comments that will be sent to you about this man. Dominicans might forgive, but they never forget, at least not Ambrose.
ope your eyes . Were you the one hiding Monfared
Look who is talking about misappropriation of money!! Am I death and blind now? Dominica finish!
Is it that some people just come out talking for talking sake? Ambrose I don\’t care how much Skerro gave you to talk , Shut up!
Sad state of affairs in my Dominica.
deaf. not death
Hahahah, well if you dead you are both deaf and blind, not so?
Ambrose is deputy leader of DLP and he was voted out? So when Trump calls Skerrit for a very long vacation, Am…brose will be PM? How laughable! Ambrose I still looking for the bank address you gave. Are the out of business now?
“Possie Direct”. I am sure you are no fool. Please reread what you just read. Consult your constitution and say a “mea aculpa”. Not even your high school drop out leader will repeat such nonsense.
