Member of Parliament for Roseau Central, Joseph Isaac, who recently shocked the nation by resigning from the Opposition United Workers Party will be part of a new look cabinet of ministers.
On Tuesday evening Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit announced a cabinet reshuffle which will include Isaac, although he said that Isaac at this point has not joined the ruling Dominica Labour Party.
Skerrit said Isaac has been named Minister of the Environment, Climate Resilience, Disaster Management and Urban Renewal.
The ministry is a new one which the Prime Minister stated was necessary to create in order to craft and coordinate Dominica’s focus on climate resilience in the wake of Hurricane Maria.
Skerrit said he met with Isaac last week Thursday and “discussed with him and his delegation from the constituency of Roseau Central their plans and vision going forward.”
“In my statement last Wednesday, I made known my intention to foster a meaningful working relationship with Hon. Isaac, as he had expressed a desire to adopt a more open and objective attitude and approach to the issue of governance in the country and the policies and programs of the government,” he stated. “Consequent upon our meeting last Thursday, and after consultation with senior members of the government and governing Dominica Labour Party, I subsequently contacted Mr. Isaac and extended to him an invitation to serve in the government of Dominica in the capacity as a minister of government. Hon. Isaac, after consulting with his key advisors, accepted that invitation and will therefore feature in the new look Cabinet of Ministers that I am about to announce.”
He stated that at this point Isaac has not joined the Dominica Labour Party, “but he has satisfied me of his focus in wanting to help the people of Roseau Central, and to put his skills and services at the disposal of the government in the building of the new Dominica.”
“He shall, therefore, as of Thursday, 12th April, serve as a Minister of Government in the service of the people of Dominica. I take this opportunity to publicly congratulate Mr. Isaac and to wish him every success in his new posting,” Skerrit said.
On Wednesday April 4, Isaac announced that he was quitting the United Workers Party to become an independent member of parliament. He said this was based on the desire to move away from ‘tribal politics.’
Meanwhile, Skerrit announced what he described as the “new look Cabinet of Ministers.”
The list is as follows:
-Roosevelt Skerrit: Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Investments, Housing and Lands
-Reginald Austrie: Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Agriculture Food and Fisheries
-Levi A. Peter: Attorney General
-Dr. John Collin McIntyre: Minister for Public Works, Water Resource Management and Ports
-Joseph Isaac: Minister for the Environment, Climate Resilience, Disaster Management and Urban Renewal
-Dr. Kenneth Darroux: Minister for Health and Social Services
-Senator Miriam Blanchard: Minister for Planning and Economic Development
-Senator Robert Tonge: Minister for Tourism and Culture
-Catherine Lady Daniel: Minister for Ecclesiastical Affairs, Family and Gender Affairs
-Justina Charles: Minister for Youth, Sports, and Constituency Empowerment
-Rayburn Blackmoore: Minister for Justice, Immigration and National Security
-Senator Francine Baron: Minister for Foreign and CARICOM Affairs
-Ian Douglas: Minister for Trade, Energy and Employment
-Petter Saint-Jean: Minister for Education and Human Resource Development
-Roselyn Paul: Minister for Commerce, Enterprise and Small Business Development
-Kelver Darroux: Minister for Information, Science, Telecommunications and Technology
-Casius Darroux:
Minister for Kalinago Affairs
-Johnson Drigo: Minister in the Ministry of Housing and Lands
-Ivor Stephenson: Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Health and Social Services
Just another example of how ignorant are our people!
While Isaac was a member of the UWP, he was no good; he and the rest of the UWP could never form the government; as such he was among the outcast, of a society; reject as a member of the UWP, which could not accomplish anything for Dominica, only Roosevelt and the his cabal could.
Nevertheless, in less than a week he declared himself an independent member of the House, he automatically finds himself in the Roosevelt cabal, as the first minister of nothing; his portfolio covers nothing!
And indeed the same idiots who claim that the UWP would never form the government because of people like Isaac who was a member of the UWP, welcome him into the Labor Party, where he is minister of nothing: He is now good for the party, and country, but while he was in the UWP his presence was to obstruct.
I have never encountered any nation of people with such stupid mentality!
What is going to happen is that even when Isaac can’t take Skerrit’s frustration, he will have no choice but to turn into a Zombie like the others…too shame to talk!!..
I understand both sides of the argument. If it was a labour minister that joined uwp, labour supporters would be angry and uwp supporters would be happy and welcoming, just like how labour supporters are happy and uwp supporters are upset
Joseph Isaac lost his integrity by joining forces with the Labor Cabal. As a business owner, he will enjoy favorable duty-free concessions on imported goods, his new vehicle and a second or third homes like the rest of the cronies. In the end, he helps maintains the status-co of just a few cronies enjoying the spoils, while the masses suffer in perpetuity with high unemployment, zero vision and an island nation cast in the stone age with no foreseeable way of moving into enlightenment. As my former teacher at D.G.S I always thought that he had integrity. Now I know he was just a “Rat” in sheep’s clothing.
Dominica, and Dominicans by extension, are the most backward island in the whole of the Caribbean; they are worse off than Haiti.
Sot, they sot.
To allow a PM to continue to have complete disregard to its citizens is SOT.
That guy Linton, and his loonys good for nothing so-called party, this man can’t do a thing for his self and he’s trying to prime minister Skerrit what he should do and how to do it, Linton is nothing more than a screw up head just conning his way as a idiot leader!!! Joseph lsaac, you have done a good move walking away from those blue bellys idiots.
The man choice….my concern is the Ministry he is tasked with. Why that ministry? A new member… all I can wish you is luck my boy…….PM you are the greatest…….
I do not want to kick a person when he or she is down but I have to ask where is viewsexpressed ? I must admit that this was a brilliant move on the part of Isaac to put Dominica first. Some people will bash him but that is expected; they were blindsided by his move. As far as Skerrit is concerned that is great political asset for his future agenda. Kudos to both of them.
Very wise move Mr Isaac. It shows political maturity.
“-Joseph Isaac: Minister for the Environment, Climate Resilience, Disaster Management and Urban Renewal ”
So, in reality Isaac has become the first minister of nothing in a government anywhere on the planet; in the first place he proves that not even him as a human could be resilient to the master puppet slave master Roosevelt Skerrit, since he castrated himself and fell at Roosevelt feet.
What about the climate that clown can manage, there is nothing to manage, we will see his skills by the time another category five (5) hurricane hits Dominica. If there was any doubt in the mind of Dominicans, perhaps their eyes will be come opened
I am much more optimistic that Roosevelt and his corrupted colleagues are on their way out: Call the election this month of before the end of the year, and let’s you success?
Minister of the environment Climate Resilience Disaster Management And Urban Renewal? How many cities are there in Dominica? If we say Roseau, that means he will only…
Are you listening to yourself? You must have admitted how foolish you sound. You just don’t make any sense.
Kid on block you are an idiot with a very low IQ: You are mentality retarded, you are so delusional that you are seeing quadrupole, in you walk you are unable to discern the correct road to walk.
Very soon you will topple over the edge. I am listening to myself. If you read my comments here on DNO you might have read where I said Isaac has destroyed his political career in the process of him stabbing the UWP in the back.
What do you read on DNO this day?
I hope you can read only to discover the people; the UWP supporters who voted for him are not rallying around him they are walking away from him! Was I correct when I analyze, and came to the conclusion he has destroyed himself!
I do have a school leaving certificate, I went higher than that! In my time they the GCE was already in existence, even in America the gave the equivalent GED, beyond that we got a college degree!
Cont:
So, here is the finish: If this new minister of nothing is also minister of urban whatever; we need to define the term ” Urban” or urbanism in order to figure out what are his duties; and what they entail. So, since urbanism characteristics simply implies the way of life of people living in a city.
His full time job might be to study the physical needs of the residence of Roseau, and other urban societies. The fact is when we say urban, we are talking about cities within a country, If Roseau can be counted as city, that must be the only one we have; unless we classify every village in Dominica a city.
As far as I am concern, this guy political career has ended; he brought his political career to an end, because I doubt that anybody in their right mind in the constituency who voted for him is going to vote for him a second time after his betrayal of the people who are pro UWP.
Desperate UWP supporters totally lost and talking garbage. People like you continue to believe exaggerated bs propaganda about corruption even if you are not shown a thread of credible evidence by those who feed you your propaganda meals. In the US there is a Department of the Environment called the EPA headed by a Secretary. So how can you say that Isaac is the first minister of nothing anywhere on the planet?
People of Dominica and especially the city of Roseau the Lord said ” Vengeance is mine” So exercise your legal rights under the Election Act at the voting booth, for we all want the Island to move forward, right now we a stagnant with no where to and how long will we expect to get there.
So, in reality Isaac has become the first minister of nothing in a government anywhere on the planet; in the first place he proves that not even him as a human could be resilient to the master puppet slave master Roosevelt Skerrit, since he castrated himself and fell at Roosevelt feet.
Lol FET U killing me softly! To castrate one’s self ,this call’s for guts.But doing so can only be explained as being totally NUTS.
Gregory Issacs Medard’s new Clown on the block was insulted umptin times by his new best friends.
Does one who joins his critics & shamefully so to have GUT Balls,cojones ur pic ,makes one a shameless idiot of low pedigree manifesting childhood poverty of mind Cox Edward and Johnson Issacs,would keep their dignity and to hell with the $. The aforementioned 3 brothers had pride. Joseph did not get that paternal gene. Guess his DNA ismaternally dominant .let me consult on that one LMAO
i have to conclude ,Laughter the best medicine you know a thing or two about Gregory Issacs.
if so tell us about Medards pedigree etc seeing he never spoke in his stint as so called P.M about his parents.I recall a Dr.( a real Phd) telling us his faher promised him a bicycle if he passed his common entrance. he did not mention his mom. Skerrit never mention how he ended at DGS lol.
But he got to The southern USA maybe with help from another doc( real at that) who co-incidentally is the 1/2 brother of the first doc. Those who know D/ can general knowledge would ace that one. Medard loves money & use to love God until thepassport returns made him a little god himself So let’s say he got his genes from money & god. What I know about Medard .I want U to educate us on the rest we may not know about medard’s pedegree or lack thee of.
Hola Mr Isaac, now I am happy very happy you have move away from that blue belly criminals party, now you can look forward to better things maybe one day, Mr Isaac you my friend will be prime minister of Labour Party and Dominica, blue bellys are losers conmen stupid waste of time without foundation, in plain English language useless and rubbish so-called Workers party, this guys having a laugh!!!!! Oh yes forgot with your education you will be a treasure to Dominica and the Labour Party thank you x.
He stabbed the UWP in the back; what make you believe he is for real, and not simply for the money!
How long do you think when someone else dangles some fools goal in his face again he will not stab Roosevelt personally in his back?
Man bite Dog, Dominica is a failed State, we are the poorest nation on earth, nevertheless, on an island with approximately thirty (30,000) thousand people, we have the largest governmental cabinet in the entire Caribbean, the only thing left to happen is the physically collapses of the country.
We have no economy; the sale of our passports, and our diplomatic passports cannot last forever, and the donations which we receive for the rebuilding of the country, is not spent on what it is supposed to do. If you are in Dominica, I challenge you to disclose to how many projects you know are completed due to donated used to restore anything!
Tell me how many people you know house was rebuilt with donated money!
All you Isaac needs plenty prayers… don’t wish him bad…can you imagine being in his shoes today? He is the most DANGEROUS man in Dominica. And if I know Skerrit he knows that too. Isaac your position is pure hell because NOBODY TRUST you…Who can blame them? How long have you been an operative for Skerrit? And are you REALLY out of the UWP or are you camouflaging to undermine the DLP? Isaac you see the situation? Who are you bro? What do you want bro? And even if you answer truthfully Christ has to come back for me to believe you and even then I won’t………………you will NEVER be taken seriously professionally, people will work with you because they have to…all the time watching their backs…and then you will make THE decision because your silver would be of no value…..we still pray for you because my brother you NEED Prayers!
According to Dicey, “self preservation comes first, everything else after”. Hmph!
“As an independent member of Parliament, I will be free to vote for and against policies of the government consistent with my philosophical belief and the impact of such policies on the people I serve,” the former UWP MP noted.
Just 7 days ago…. what a fraud.
Bi election in Roseau!!!! All Roseau voters, red, blue, green, purple, white, black must ask for it..!
Issac demonstrated he has no conrete philosophical belief ,if he happens to have it blows in the direction of the money not even the wind.
My comments were not funny ? DNO and company I’ll send you salt. He doesn’t need you to think ? for him. He deserves respect. Please take your ? medicine so you don’t get a ❤️ attack.
Thanks ? DNO your bias news will be detrimental ☝️ one day. Why is there just one sided conversation crushing and crucifying a man for historical decision. Bias and shameful news.
What did judas do after he realized the magnitude of his betrayal ? If you forgot let me remind you.
He hung himself.
I have another memory too. There is a breadfruit tree in upper river st in a couweh where Issacs lived hahahahahh the branches are long huge and secure. hahahaahah Memory did Judas use a chair or a tree?
Issac has displayed that behaviour b4. teacher ruport Sorhindo mentored him and what did he do to him in the end? Brought him from rags to perfume what did he do to him in return?
SHAMEFUL by brother
Doing what’s best for you is shameful???? Lol you don’t know what shameful is.
I feel so sorry for My Dominica.
My people, we cannot prosper with Skerrit as P.M . He has no vision for development of the island.
Skerritt must go!
feel sorry for yourself and you children.
Seems very deceptive within 8 days of leaving the UWP you are made a government minister? I smell a rat!!!
Politicians need to be honest, but were we not given an insight when the partner was lamenting about the sacrifice he had made to enter the political arena? Is it cashing in time, after all Mr Isaac the bills must be paid, or according to the old adage, he who pays the Fiddler commands the Tune.
I am ashamed of your apparent principles or lack thereof, it is embarrassing.
Harris thats MO skerrit crooked ( doesn’t his facial expression say it all? That all I see in his smile) So Skerit must have spoken to him about opportunism and it’s huge rewards. Skerrit got in under the clock of darkness with help from Sr.Counsel Nkomo sr. counsel AS -Star- Fan some get passport high yielding returns upon redeeming. Issac got a ministry and I guess about 100 passports to push bonus. Corruption s sweet my boy shouted Issacs.
The leadership of the UWP has failed this young man. How can anyone blame him for his decision? We need to first look within before casting stones.
be honest, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Isaac is in debt and saw an opportunity to make money and so he took it. Sad people prefer to use the “Lennox” narrative to patronize greed.
Did the supporters of the UWP voted for Joseph Isaac because of what he stands for the country or did they vote for him just to get rid of Skerrit in office?
Reason for my question is that the UWP supporters are bashing this man so much even threats are made on his life because they claim he associate with the DLP.
But didn’t the man(Joseph) made it clear that his objective could not have been met staying in the UWP? He stands for development for his constituency and Dominica on a whole and he didn’t see that coming from the UWP other than to criticize and destroy whatever the government did to develop the country. The guy has moved to a better place where he feels he can better serve his people, so what is ALL that waylay waylay by Matt and the other UWP supporters? One now can clearly come to the conclusion that the voters position was to get rid of Skerrit and not for good of country. Joseph is still there to serve his people. Did you UWPites voted for vengeance or for…
Constituents of Roseau Central votes for Joseph Issac to be honest and transplant, and not self-serving. These are the greatest traits of any politician. Sadly he has failed to test on all counts thus the reason why he has moved across to a Part that’s lost it’s values, operating conversely. That’s why I’m leaving!!!
Just wondering if Issac is in need of a Secretary>?
Why not? Isn’t he a minister of government?
Hope you single because you will become his sexy-tree…lol
what about a spokesperson a portavoz bc he sure butchers the language . Don’t they all have something in common except say Ayatolla who like a former Comish( recent acting president-Look@ our crosses!!!) who speaks with a British -American accent LMAO.
Most cases of folk who speak with an accent far removed from their native tongues not having lived in the related accent( Country) no more than 6 wks like the Comish whose longest stint outside Da was the very six wks police training in the late 60’s. Getting back to the point of issac having a portavoz/spokesperson is that it’s a sort of a club cabal of yo pasa parler.Look@ Skerro he needs speech therapy let alone pronounciation etc but he playing man.
Anyway, Gregory Isaacs, Cox & Edward nephew, Mousso Pie & brothers must be turning in their graves.
Pas toutes D/cien aveg I was reading on a flight while travelling thru Europe that it happens after dentalwork is done. I noticed also that those locals you mention have fussy teeth That’s no co-incidence. with foreign accents. Local do ur twice yearky dental check ups. More so if you just travel in the region or worse if you never travelled and you begin to sound like a yakee in Bagatelle
Astrie sound like a raging bull when he talks I would not make him DPM. .To me making Isacc a minister less than a week after leaving UWP is to soon. It seems that everything was already planned.
Sure was a fete acompli long b4 Gregory Issacs dished out his new release (in reggae)” Survival ” It was not to fast it was arranged after Maria when Gregory Issacs bakery fell apart with Ross departure etc.
Wasn’t it the same maypuisants Austrie & Medard who b4 election made gregory Issacs a papyshow saying he could not manage a bakery and will not be able to mangae a ministry if by a miracle the UWP would win the election. now hours after doing the Crossing he gets to manage a ministry. Skerrit you want us to believe a cock & bull story like that? Skerro stop being a Fool and entertaining your base . Man you better than Trump & trump is a zehzeh.
Is Austrie a sexus too? maybe but he sick now hahahhahah sexus in a lexus wow! peepip is the man bobo and all.No problem
Its obvious that skerrit sees talents in the UWP. I bet he would love to have fountain and bazil and the other from castle Bruce. It tells me that he has no confidence in any of the labor ministers. Dominicans should take a page from skerrits book and elect UWP to run the country. Tbe PM obviously seems to know that.
However, in this world you can never trust a man who will so easily sell his soul for a few pieces of silver. If a man cannot stand on principles he is lost and does not deserve to lead anyone. It is so true birds of a feather flock together and Issac lacks any class. One must never compromise thier values and principles even if it means death.
What the hell is Minister of ecclesiastical and what is the state going to advise christian denominations on. Politics and religion is like exposing oxygen to a flame. Fire get hotter. This is a waste of time and if history is any good teacher a dangerous and suspicious path.
Brilliant observation. Like poaching players from an opposing team to make your own win.
Isaac even looking like a laborite Go get your spot boy
By narturing Cox,& edward his uncles were similar Johnson alias mousso Pie his dad.So if he looks like one can genetics be applied there lol LMAO real loud so How come Ayatolla ,Skerrit etc are corner stones in Labour today? Plus all those perm Secs etc. Wasn’t it the Neo DLP former YoungDFP president Grammer school headboy funraizer specialist.Organizer of matches against his advisor (Today) lambert own of the factory which emitted fumes around DGS & the Gardens back iin the late 80’s early 80’s.Opportunists meet opportunists.Now Gregory Issacs joins the cabal.
No joke ting eno, you can just look at Dominicans and say is a laborite, or a Uwp supporter
It would seem by the speed of events, Skerritt had already bought out Isaac and the resignation was just the receipt for the transaction. As it is said, everyone has a price.
Interestingly, this announcement came hours after this by Breaking News on DNO: “The Government of the People’s Republic of China has donated 19 military vehicles…” I particularly want you to pay attention to the amount of MILITARY VEHICLES “19”. So 19 military vehicles the same day Skerrit’s cabinet was to increase to NINETEEN Ministers? Coincidental? I sure don’t think so. To me, everything was done by design to put fear in the heart of everyone that dare think of asking for their votes that Skerrit and Judas stole. All this at a time when the US is investigating President Trump for wrong doing to the point that even his Lawyer’s offices and house are being raided, his cabinet members are being charged, others are resigning and house speaker is forced to retire. Interestingly in Dominica is the opposite as the national security minister is increasing their army, to protect Skerrit and, Judas Iscarriot is now on board with them to help get those that once protected him from…
two Gate keepers left Skerrit after yrs of doing his dirty work and singing for their super Mrs & Mrs A so Gregory Issac Johnny come lately replaces one of them. . There is a kind of History of opportunists falling out with the leaders of their party then calling them all kind of name.sGregory Issac .
I can recall Lorraine bannis crossing from the UWP, Julien prevost left them was not in Paraliment when he did, Tim Tim now gregory Issacs. There seems to be a one way trend of late but characteristic of all these crossings was a DLP turn UWP turn NeoDLP all of the aforementioned.
! step fwd 3 backwards you go jokers!
Julius timothy?
Papamet, where Dominica getting money to pay all those ministers? Lord help us in this country… and then we asking regional and international organizations to waiver our membership fees.
i jus sell my Green passport and i not telling anybody how much i got for it
So we have two Ministers for ”Housing and Lands”
Where Dominica getting the wages for all them Ministers ?
I would really like to hear again what all them so and sos were saying about the hard working Port workers fighting for the wage rise they so justly deserve .
well well well
and some don’t want me to say ”wrong is wrong” even if they don’t actually know
what my political affiliations are .
What was it again , Maria , the condition of de hospital? an so an, and so an, why de Port workers couldn’t fight for what they want .
weh weh weh .
Within a few days, Joseph Isaac has gone from an opposition UWP parliamentarian to an Independent to a Minister of the Skerrit led government. This is quite a remarkable feat for a morally depraved person. Let’s move away from Joseph Isaac momentarily and make a serious assessment of the state of affairs in Dominica. Another hurricane season is imminent and proper public shelters are practically non-existent. Lack of housing and sturdy roofing are major problems. A significant percentage of the population still doesn’t have electricity. Unemployment is at unprecedented levels with no foreseeable chances of improving in the short term. Meanwhile, the government is overly bloated and living it up. Dominica has far too many Ministers for such a small country. It is little wonder the country is unable to pay for its membership in regional and international organizations. When one man has unbridled power, he becomes pathologically obsessed with himself and good governance goes out the…
Ibo you are contradicting yourself. There is a lot to be done as you rightly said so we need more ministers to concentrate on getting things done in a short space of time. Though a little more expensive but it is necessary. When looking at situations, one has to be objective and weigh the pros and con. Need to stop being partisan and look at things objectively. Forget the PM whom you seem not to love at all cost and let us look at the magnitude of the damage that was done by Hurricane Maria and then you would see the amount of work that has to be done. Where do you fit in this? what are your expertise, skills so you could be a partner in this building. Talking cannot do anything. It is wasted talent. Whilst speaking, nothing is being done just mouthing, sowing seeds of hatred and strife. Complaining whilst time is quickly passing by.
lbo, don’t forget i have a great job going for you, one of my septic tank is not working properly and i think you are just the man for the job, let me know soon as possible on DNO.
Man Molest Stray Dogs. Are you disparaging plumbers? Wish I had such a skill. With so many damaged houses and buildings, I would be making copious amounts of money. The weight of an adult human brain is three (3) pounds, hours is the size of a pea. It’s no wonder you think like an imbecile, your vocabulary is babyish, your spelling is appalling and your writing is mostly indecipherable. By the way, you need to practise good oral hygiene.
I have crossed the line too. Linton needs to be fired from his position. Isaac you did great.Moral values dont pay your bills..
Food 4 thought from the BIBLE:
John 6:70-71 -Then Jesus replied, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!” 71(He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who, though one of the Twelve, was later to betray him.)
John 13:27 -As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. So Jesus told him, “What you are about to do, do quickly.”
Matthew 27:3-5-When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. 4″I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.” “What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.” 5So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.
Acts 1:17-18 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his…
Great Isaac… it is not about you and hatred of one man. It is about development and when election is done, it is development for the people of Dominica. I applaud you on your decision. Get away from that hatred, strife, demonstration and complaining without giving solutions. Roseau Central will be better with you now in that position. PM I also applaud you – a man true to your words, no hatred, no strife just love of your people and country. You do not even hold grudge against them.. You helped the Leader of the Opposition when he was in problem in Antigua; All the other haters take note …. you cannot continue so misleading and saying things without any proof or facts. Time to move on of rebuilding Dominica. There is no place for negativity but peace, love and then we will be joyful when we work together regardless who we vote at General Election. One Love and peace.
If this guy thought he could convince anyone that he left the U W P because he was dissatisfied with the party’s policies he is more stupid than he looks .I said on d n o that he was following the path taken by that woman at the U N and mr a c s because the bread always look and taste better on the buttered side. He should be ashamed to walk the streets of Roseau because he has proven himself to be a crook who cant be trusted. On another note the population of DomINICA is about seventy thousand which includes all those living outside of the island why does Skerrit need all these ministers? while he goes around the world with a cup in his hand
So Skerrit is not satisfied with the sale of the church so he wants to completely own the church of God? Because of his hypocrisy and the hypocrisy of the church, he created a minister of ECCLESIASTES? This newly formed ministry is no doubt Skerrit’s way of mocking the church because he knows to well what the church went through when JUDAS ISCARIOT betrayed Jesus Christ, during Easter. So in essence, Skerrit formed the Ministry of Ecclesiastical in memory of, and to accommodate Judas Iscarriot. But Skerrit, the author of the great book of Ecclesiastes is “The Preacher” whom voice you have silenced in Dominica and, the key word in the great book of Ecclesiastes is “VAIN”, which means futility and the key message of Ecclesiastes is, “REMEMBER God, because nothing lasts forever. So enjoy your mischief and deception while you have breath Mr. Skerrit
Question :
All funding / money coming into the Dominica, which area is it going to?
Comment:
Skerrit and Issac portfolio is just singing monay, monay, monayyyy, monayyyy!
If allu thought Isaac crossing the floor had nothing to do with HIS PERSONAL BENEFIT, and all to do with nation building well zor sot …… ALLU SEEING MISTER PORTFOLIO…. ALLU UNDERSTANDING THE MILLIONS THAT WILL BE PASSING IN MISTER HANDS?!!!
Skerrit paid a hefty prize for Issac to cross….. issac has the biggest portfolio after Skerrit…. wondering how them other monsters feeling, lol lol
Oops I mean Ministers lol lol
Do you think that when one becomes a Minister that the monies come directly to them? I can see that many of you need to be educated about how things are done. Monies do not go to anyone in person. Monies are paid into the Treasury and goes into an account. Not how you the persons think it is done. And most monies are paid by cheque not l’argent Seche. You all need to get educated about a lot of the things that you speak about that you do not know anything about.
YOU don’t know what you talking about!
A minister could build a house for his concubine on the public purse. Siphoning money out of the Treasury is joke for those Ministers to do.
The sad thing is when the UWP accuse people of corruption they are actually judging based on their corrupt standards and low expectations. Whenever they are challenged to produce the evidence of corruption in court they fail and then they accuse the court of been corrupt.
Firstly there is allot of conflict of interest with this Government. It behooves me that the PM is the minister of finance. But for this Man Isaac to resign from UWP and all of a sudden a minister i smell a rat. Isn’t in that the ministers are part of the ruling party. So if Issac isn’t part of the DLP why is he a minister. This country is a mess.
My friend the fight in the Labour Party is going to start very soon…Isaac thanks for moving but you did not have to so by deceiving your voters.
Skerrit will be chewing you up then spitting you out or you will bring him down!!!!!
Let the Dogs begin to FIGHT…hope there is no blood.
awa wi
So Creed and Isaac will be doing the same thing. He still sitting independent, or trying to convince that he is still independent.
Well, do what’s best for you. No need to represent the people who voted for you as part of the UWP. I guess next time you’ll run in red, still independent. I think you deserve to be a minister but I’m surprised you don’t think the cabinet is too large, in a post that another independent agency has responsibility for. There’s alot of money and resources for waste in Dominica.
God bless Dominica.
Dominica is not a real Country… It’s a show on the Animal Planet…Can’t wait for next Episode, the peasants suffer hopelessly and those who can skip ship in the power struggle will do anything for a breather from the pressure…
So you sold your soul for a few pieces of silver and a cabinet position? You all politicians are really “all of self”. I hope you get all that you were looking and hoping for and that you will be truly satisfied.
Men love darkness rather than light, Because their deeds are EvIl
Enbien look it , Workers for sale, money talking
hahahahahaah nice one. I heard LL is considering crossing but he is thinking of the St.Vincent election in 1979 when Micthel was the missing candidiate to give the gov’t in either direction. he went fishing after both sides asked him to join them it was a tie 6-6 he was an independent.he told both leaders he would contact them when he returned the rest is history. LL is locked in bc it’s not an election it’s just moveent.
Moving the deck chairs around could not save the Titanic, and reshuffling failed ministers to failing ministries will have the same effect. This is a government suffering from a lack of vision for the country and a weak human resource pool. More theatre and distraction from a government built on “ole talk” and noise.
HOTEP!
Very disappointed in the manner in which Isaac handled this. He’s not fooling anyone by claiming to be independent. We all know that he crossed the floor. That being said he is within his rights to change party. But he should not be allowed to go as the Parliamentary Representative for the constituency. The law should be changed to mandate a by election. It is not fair or right that people voted for you as a member of one party and you betray them and declare yourself a member of another party or independent (same difference). That was not the wish of the people. Shame on you Mr. Isaac. Shame on you.
Yes I Isaac sang for his supper and he got his broth
Back and neck
That’s what he grew up on now he is in a position to eat steaks, dress up ( will get fatter on his midget body and lok like the electoral guy whose pant can’t button lol then will get a fewcheap girls who know he might get a few reasonable looking ones. He might ask Skerrit to transfer his partner from the college as his spokesman……………….p. I was about to say ask the cop and the pharmacist lol but they are dead lol
Am hear joking but I know the creature he’s gonna get happy and crank out.
abeh look it in our little country
I am not surprised, however I feel for Robbie Tonge. It will be interesting to see what Roosevelt Skeritt does with him, when the next general election is called. As a result of all the interest shown by Skeritt, in Isaac, is he still going to remain as the care taker of the DLP for the Roseau Constituency.
Bogo Roy don’t feel sorry for Tonge he is already used to being” ti-fere” to skerrit so not making him candiddate for RC next election. Bogo Roy you know when a french man refer to aguy as his Ti-Fere what that means?lol
Good luck and best wishes.
Skerrit God you said already gave you 15 out of 21 and that’s not enough for you man? When you steal the votes of those that said CLEARLY that they don’t want you, is that not stealing even if Joseph Isaac took your bribe? Man this is gross evil and what you and Joseph Isaac did just reminds me of what King David did when he used his power to take Uriah’s wife. It was as a result of that the prophet of God told David that because of what he did evil would visit his house and country. My God in heaven my heart cries out to you because certainly, Skerrit and the people of Dominica have not realized that it is because of the evils of Skerrit’ endorsed by men of the cloth, is the reason why Dominica is going nowhere but instead, every year, since Skerrit became prime Minister we see nothing but trouble and destruction, year after year. You blind hypocrites could call it climate change if you want I know is because we have changed from a Good fearing nation to a people sold to do EVIL.
Haa haa, dictatorship at its best. If you can dismantle the opposition, then you’ll reign in power for ever. Isaac is a sell out who was only looking for his personal interest.
gregory Issac isa ghetto man tired of being poor Issac say I am a professional ( no Thanks to Rupert etc. I not going back River Street and am not eating no more backs and necks x3/day and smell goat …. whilst I sleep in the couweh where iwas born & raised. Later for that. I not dealing flour, water, yeast and lard.
Typical expression of growing up dire poor. no surprise here.
Once again wrong has prevailed in my country and this time in broad daylight and very sadly, many, including some of our Christian leaders are happy and no doubt rejoicing even if 1 Cor. 13:6 say “Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices when righteousness prevails. Folks, this is STEALING what you know is not yours and that is WRONG just as taking another man’s wife is wrong. Trust me those that adulterous preachers will support the evils of Skerrit’ because the same passage that says thou shalt not steal is the same one that says thou shalt not take another man’s wife period! The sad thing is these so called Christians are saying they (politicians) removed God from the schools in the US, while they are the ones helping Skerrit kick God out of the land because when you are up holding evil you are denying the presence of God. This is not about usp and DLP it’s about wrong and right. Every country needs a strong opposition to have peace. To undermine the opposition is…
Talking god and christianity. Once Skerrit even if cannot hablar he never ended a meeting a statement without the Slogan” God is go all the time & all the time god is good” I have observed he no longer use it.
Now people like Gregory Issac sing in reggae “Skierrittt is good to me everytime.”
Why use your religious beliefs to write such nonsense. What’s wrong with your rational thinking, very sad indeed.
There was no money to pay increased salaries to Port workers but you could fine monies to increase ministrial positions. Have mercy to this land called Dominica. Shame on you politicians!
what an…! real beggars! him a suck out Punjab fi a few pieces of silver
So much for being independent, these guys can’t be honest with themselves much less the people
Well sah. Truth always reveal the things which are hidden. So Lennox Linton had nothing to do with it. This brother cracked under pressure. Greed seems to be on display here. Isaac had a price, skerrit had the money. Joseph speak the truth next time
So much for sitting as an independent member of parliament. He found a bogus reason to quit UWP, but everyone with half a brain saw that coming from a mile away.
Judas sold his sold for a few pieces of silver, I am not surprised.
Lol lol …… was that the deal hahhaha
So Skerrit find it is not good enough to steal election so he now stealing uwp candidate and votes? The Breaking news should have been “Skerrit has legalized stealing” because that’s what he has done. My advice to UWP is that they call a meeting today and every one of them should resign so Skerrit could do what he wants and that maybe will change things
Mr. Isaac deserves the nation’s collective scorn. He gave a fictitious reason for leaving the UWP which was unconvincing to most intelligent people. I said in a previous post that Skerrit dangled some trinkets before him and he fell for it. He has no integrity left for he has now joined a government whose economic policies have decimated the country, whose soulless serial lying has become legendary, and whose politics has created the biggest gulf among Dominicans. Mr. Isaac has grossly betrayed the trust of his constituents by putting self before the interest and welfare of his economically deprived supporters. He is seriously deluded if he think that he can regain the trust of the people for he has selfishly and greedily disconnected himself from them. Mr. Isaac’s action has confirmed my conviction that most politicians are self-absorbed, they don’t care about the best interest of the people. He has jumped off the cliff of reason into an abyss of ugliness. Pay day is coming.
Another one who is happy to betray his country for financial gain. Is there any more proof needed that Dominica is a failed state?
Joseph “Judas” Isaac, it didn’t take long for your lie to be made clear to everyone.You are power and position hungry, believing that you are entitled to a ministry.I’m waiting to see you implement your new vision for politics within the power structure of the Labour Party and to see you change Skerrit and his crooked, corrupt political schemes.Since you were so eager to leave the UWP because of differences of opinion I’ll keep tabs of how long you remain in the Labour party.
Shooting from the misty woods of PA as per Dr. Shillingford again but feel better I agree with your comment. St,John DA is done it’s grew bananas as an export crop Thx to people to peoplelike you the industry has died since you went into banking according to U. If Skerrit cals you home from the misty bushes to head the dept of Agri with $25K/mo living expenses for u & ur akee & saltfish eating partner wouldn’t u rush to come? In addition to free housing,car a few passports as sign on bonus U st.john would say screw Eddo ,LL et al am in Skerrit.
Power and position hungry which politician is not power and position hungry? Are you saying that only politicians you support should thirst for power and position? I am not aware of Linton having a particular skill set that he could use to move Dominica forward yet he continues to hold on to the leadership of the party, isn’t that because he is hungry for power and high office?
If you can’t see that Skerrit isn’t even taking Dominica seriously anymore, then I have some climate resilient bridges to sell to you. Joseph will go down in history as political scum and will lose RC.
Looks like Sonny wants to get some gravy before the gravy bowl starts hotting up. It will be last in, first out once the good times are over so lets just watch this space. I wonder what is the price of trustworthiness nowadays? Can it be traded for opportunism? Would you buy a used car from a character like this?
Let me make this clear. I am not a UWP supporter, I am just a concern citizen. Is that how the process works? The Prime Minister can just create a new ministerial position without any parliamentary hearings or other procedural action? Just want to know. I would be highly upset if I was an elected member of the government and would have liked to have that position. Politics in Dominica looks like that of the Trump White House.
JUDAS !!!!!!!!!!! . Never imagin that guy would do that power my people power Dominincans wake up . SKERRIT MUST GO .
That is disgraceful.
Joseph Isaac has no integrity.
Shame on you.
How many pieces of silver were you bought for.
I hope the people of Roseau teach you a lesson.
You cannot be trusted
Lol hahahaha….you would do the same…all of you all here blasting issac just jealous…you wish you could have a piece of the gold (IF HE REALLY WAS PAID)
There is always price for betrayal…Judas got 30 pieces of Silver; Isaac got a ministry;
You know what that means right? that is skerrit saying, if you want ANYTHING, leave and join his ministry.
That is a rel big cabinet, we even have ministries for church, so if you pastor not preaching properly, go to the minister.
How do you spell mercenar ? And the answer is: Joseph Isaac !!!!! That hustle really worked for him- at least in the short run.
Hello Barbara; what did I suggest to you?
I told you that guy actions of pulling out of the UWP was no misunderstanding, it is calculated; it was a plot between Roosevelt and that guy to stab Lennox, and the UWP in the back!
The carrot Roosevelt dangled in his face he could not resists: he has sold his soul and dignity for a few dollars more, it is not about country for people like him it is the dollar bill; all the ignorant poor people of the country who vote labor, all they get is a red piece of cloth, and promises.
Watch now by next election, he is going to have millions of dollars in food and money giving to people in his former UWP constituency They would be ignorant and foolish to give him their votes!
With people like that in position in Dominica, the country will never move one step forward; I told you he believe the UWP will loose, hence he changed side.
Time will tell!
This is a lesson for all Dominicans. This guy has been emasculated, and because of obvious debt now has to make deals with the devil. Ironically he is now part of the very administration under which his businesses couldn’t thrive. I pity this man. I really do. According to Reggie Austrie, this is the first man to *colay* a bakery so how does he feel about his competencies as a minister? smh. A politician is really the lowest form of life on earth.
Thx 2 AHs like the UWP & Neo DLP.Mr& Mrs A are leaving why would Issac go in.? I cannot rap my head around this one. Doesn’t Issac read watch TV Would U join Trump’s team even if he offers a floor in Trumps tower a ministry land free casino visits? I would stay far fro that but here is Issac jumping in. Fools rush in where angels fear to thread. If he runs next election keeping his seat is slim to none.
Pat Aaron etc should write a road match this coming carnival. Who knows I am tempted to get into the song writing for next year.
A deal with the devil?????? I guess Lenox must be God??
The reshuffling was fine except for one. Church and state should always be separate.
The bible speaks of 16 strongmen. I have seen all 16 manifested on this island. People, God is our only way out!
The blood of Jesus Christ! For those who do not know, sacrifices are offered in the spiritual world. Something or someone must die! When Adam sinned, God showed the first sacrifice and covered them with the skin of the animals. Cane and Abel offered theirs and it continued throughout the bible. But there are specifics to a sacrifice and cane did not follow the rules hence the reason for his being rejected!
The High priests offered sacrifices once a year for everyone with animals but it became a ritual and was not meaningful so God said that He was fed up with these rituals and sacrifices.
He sent His son Jesus to die as a sacrifice so that there would be no more sacrifices and that the blood of His only son would be accepted just once for all humanity! How powerful.
All we have to…
continuation:
Is believe in His son as the sacrifice offered for our sins, read His word, follow His statutes and commands and He will do the rest. Many people spend money and do good deeds but it is of none effect if we disregard Jesus. Here’s an example. If salvation depended on good deeds we would go to the father saying i am here because of what i did making the work of Jesus Christ void! you get it? God does everything for a reason. When we live in sin, we are lost until we repent and receive Jesus. When this happens, our sins are blotted out! We start a new page in God’s world and He remembers our sin no more!
Those who accept Christ enduring to the end are judged by their works, meaning however they live the rest of eternity with God depends on how they lived here on earth. The others will be judged by the father wherever he doesn’t want them to be, but because His word stands He will do as He says. How would God be if He didn’t honor His word?
People please read the…
Boy look some set of croaked m….f
I hope all of all you will have a huahal truck behind all you box with all the money all you will selling all you soul for.
Wow! What a Judas. I really thought Mr had the country by heart. He take me. Smh.
He had his family and providing for them in mind…that’s takes priority over a country….i would
Well congratulations are in order I guess. You cannot now claim that you are independent. The only thing is I don’t believe you will be respected nor trusted by people on either side of the aisle or for that matter by anyone you gotta come in contact with during the exercise of your new role. Climate resilience needs all stakeholders on board, I just don’t see you capable of bringing folks together.
But like I said congratulations are in order. This next elections going to be pretty interesting…
how a man can so easily sell out his people for money
So he left for a seat in the cabinet… This is truly a dictatorship.
Translation…….He joined Skerritts group.
I don’t believe anyone with more than 5 brain cells believed that gibberish about he wanting to be independent and striving for nationalistic endeavors. His mouth was used to deliver the message at the press conference, but that message was clearly scripted by the Senior you-know-who. Garcon, is long you think you smarter that everybody else. But history has taught us that it rarely ends well for the treacherous and the arrogant. The pit of snakes that you have chosen to lie with will give you your comeuppance in due time.
Please!
Who didn’t see this coming a mile away?
Lol lol lol I must laugh. Lennox fault, but I’ll still vote for uwp
Treachery pays.
Is someone jealous???? Hehehehe
BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! strategy
Sold to the highest bidder. Sorry.
Joe boy u not easy… I living Roseau Central.. I not voting u ehh my boy…
Allu wrong wi if allu doe looking for allu pocket… so di scene set up.. self preservation.

I agree we dread, every man foe his self, iz a vybez
Part of the same over sized cabinet you gave blows? Boy greed is really something else we. You will get good bush and pakay enjoy the money.
God. Time for u to come down on earth with your fire. Water (maris) did not work. We are still heartless
Only now Labour fall.. Dominicans need a new Cabinet…. But in the meantime the only cabinet shuffle we will accept is when Skerrit remove his hands from the “cookie Jar”
Yes!!!! Smart move
skerrit is adding more ministers in a disaster ravaged country with less the 50k people and then he is begging the international countries for monies to satisfy his ego.
what a place i am leaving in
independent minister?
