Controversy brewing in appointment of Assistant Deputy Police Chief

Leader of the Opposition, Lennox Linton, has accused Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit of being a ‘proud violator’ of the Constitution of Dominica, saying that he was not properly consulted in the appointment of a Deputy Chief of Police as mandated by the highest law of the land.

The present Deputy, Hobbs Jno Baptiste went on vacation leave on September 5, 2016, and Linton said he was only informed of the matter by a letter from Skerrit on the same day.

Linton said on privately-owned Q95 on Thursday morning this is contrary to the Consitution of Dominica which mandates that the President appoints a Chief of Police or a Deputy Chief of Police based on advice from the Prime Minister after he has consulted with the Leader of the Opposition and the Public Service Commission.

Section 92 (1) of the Constitution reads, “The power to appoint a person to hold or act in the office of Chief of Police or Deputy Chief of Police and subject to the provision of Section 93 of this Constitution, the power to remove the Chief of Police or Deputy of Police from office shall vest in the President acting in accordance with the advice of the Prime Minister given after consultation with the Leader of the Opposition and the Police Service Commission.”

section

According to Linton, he received a letter from Skerrit from on September 5, the same day Jno Baptiste went on leave to inform him of the matter (the letter is below).

A section of the letter reads, “In accordance with Section 92 (1), of the Commonwealth of Dominica Consitution, I wish to inform you that I shall advise the President to appoint Mr. Davidson Valerie to act in the position of Deputy Chief of Police.”

Linton pointed out such a letter does not amount to consultation.

“Clearly, this is not consultation and I want to make it clear that consultation is not what Skerrit thinks it means or wants it to mean in his own politically driven war against the Constitution, the supreme law of the Commonwealth of Dominica,” he said. “We are not saying to Mr. Skerrit that consultation means that he must act on the advice given but the as the person who has a duty to consult, he is under a legal obligation to seek advice or an opinion on his viewpoint or proposal before he decides to advise the president. That is what the Consitution provides.”

Linton pointed out that regional courts have been taking note of what proper consultation is all about. He pointed to a case in St. Kitts, Shawn K Richards VS Consitution Boundaries Commission, where the idea of “proper consultation” was addressed.

Linton stated it reads, “Consultation must be undertaken at a time when proposals are still at formative stage, it must include sufficient reasons for particular proposals to allow those to be consulted to give intelligent consideration and an intelligent response. Adequate time must be given for this purpose and the product of consultation must be conscientiously taken into account when the ultimate decision is taken.”

He argued that as Prime Minister, Skerrit is “duty bound to let the leader of the opposition know in clear terms who he plans to advise the president to appoint and why, with enough relevant information on the potential appointee to allow the Leader of the Opposition to fulfill his constitutional responsibility with intelligent response that must be subject of conscientious consideration before the Prime Minister gives any advice to the President.”

“That is the process. That is what the Constitution mandates,” Linton noted.

He said Skerrit “continues to insist no law, no Constitution can prevent him from doing as he pleases.”

“He seems to be a proud serial violator of the Consitution and he refuses to relent,” he said.

    But isn’t the same PM who recently called for us to put our differences aside to help develop this our beautiful island. Isn’t the same PM that called on us to respect law and order and most importantly the constitution and to be examples to the youth? Isn’t the same PM that told us we must learn to treat others the way we would like to be treated.? Garcon you think that is the same man??? I said it before that this PM is the most diabolical man that has ever passed through the history of the Caribbean. The man is sick and needs help yow !!

    Both these guys need to smoke some marijuana and tell us what the propose to do on marijuana legalization, and term limits for a PM. Our streets are relatively quiet, a deputy chief is kept too busy dealing with the burden of prosecuting people for some marijuana. However, the protocol for selecting police higher-ups should be followed at all cost to be transparent.

    Lennox Linton Sir: There are so many times that you have refused or declined to partake in the things of Government; do you realize that you are Opposition Leader at those times?

    You are consistently criticizing all that PM Skerrit and his Government tries to initiate–that is a very childish mentality right here!

    You refused to participate in the official appointing of the President; you called to boycott the Annual Youth Rally for that same reason–what happened then?

    You walked out off the first Parliamentary gathering with you as the Opposition Leader, except for one, the rest of your team followed you–is that a good example as a Leader?

    You were invited to the Welcome Event of the Baroness Scotland; but you told us the you gleefully, tore up the invitation–where is the class in that kind of reaction, no where at all.

    I know for a fact that you do not always speak the truth –maybe not at all.

    • September 9, 2016

      You did not attend the Ground Breaking Ceremony of the Princess Margaret Hospital–how could you, as the Leader of the Opposition not be a partaker of such an Event?

      You left the last Parliament meeting to attend to your so-called 1000 people demonstration–did you not understand that this meeting included the Reading of the Budget for the fiscal Year?

      But now here you go once again, crying fou and growlingl– accusing Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit of being a ‘proud violator’ of the Constitution of Dominica, saying that you were not properly consulted in the appointment of a Deputy Chief of Police\”

      Just remember Sir, that you are just the Leader of the Opposition; your work of that role has failed miserably; you need to make a U-Turn and to walk onto the path of production and success–otherwise you are reaping what you have sowed; no one responsible for this outcome, but you and you alone.

    This prime minister needs to know what consultation is, there is a difference between consultation and informing someone, i this this is disrespect to the whole process, this guy just do as he please and no one say nothing, i am so disappointed in this president, well then again he installed his president, so what do you expect, the police force is now a political wing, everybody can see what is happening, it will never be able to function like a police force, it hurts me to see Dominicans swallow their pride and allow these nonsense to take place, red or blue, have some pride and dignity man.

    September 8, 2016

    As always, it is noticeable it depends whose side you are on. In a small place as Dominica, the PM should have the sole right to appoint. He should not have to consult the opposition leader. This is what makes Lennox too big for his shoes. Lennox is always on the warpath and defensive. He is unable to communicate appropriately with the PM. It is also noticed that he hates the PM. Lennox is the wrong man to be opposition leader; worst yet for PM..
    I do think that this Constitution should be scrapped. Whoever approved to this Constitution as is are nuts. It is inciting problems and from the opposition and supporters. Not good at all.

  16. There seems to be a pattern here! I noticed in my case I always get eleven (11) thumbs down no matter what I write, now I notice the pattern continues, most people commenting in favor of Lennox are scoring the same 11 thumbs down.

    Could it be that those are puppets of Skerrit paid by him to give thumbs down to people who does not support his corrupted mess?

    The problem with that is; there are more people against him on DNO, than the eleven traitors he planted here to give thumbs down, one of them I know is Elizabeth Xavier, who is doing that for free, another one is one of me cousin in Skerrit office oui, doing nothing; I know she name but I doh saying her name eh!

    If alyou thik I doh know, is a mistake alyou make eh! The other nine parasites are living off the blood of Skerrit while they clean his feces! I also believe Facts Machine is one of them too oui!

      • That is why whenever we get a chance to talk to anyone in Dominica, we need to advise them the only way we can get rid of Skerrit is to vote against him on election day, because even if they receive a hand out from Skerrit that is not enough to enhance there existence, and living standards.

        That will only happen when the country is developed to a point where everyone who wish to work can find a job!

    The Constitution of Dominica says “AFTER CONSULTATION” with the Opposition leader; Skerrit’s constitution says AFTER appointment “INFORM” the leader of the opposition – Gross Disobedience and deception!

    Comparison of playing with words:

    1. God told Adam the day he eats of the fruit, “Thou shalt SURELY die” Gen. 2:17. Satan played with words told Eve “Ye shall NOT surely die”. Gen 3:4. Ask those preachers about the consequence.

    2. God told Saul to smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they had, and spare nothing; But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them 1 Sam. 1 Sam 15:4-7. Again I will allow those preachers to preach on the consequence.

    All in interpretation. The clause does not say that the PM has to consult before advising the President. But that the appointment is given on the advise of the PM, and also the appointment must be made after consultation with the Opposition Leader. So, is the PM to consult with the opposition leader or the President is responsible for that consultation prior to appointment of the individual?

The holder of the office of prime minister should only make a recommendation to the president after he/she has “CONSULTED” with the leader of the opposition.

    Many Labor Party supporters get very angry with Angello Alleyne when he refers to Skeritt as the one man Government. This recent episode of Skeritt’s dictatorial behavior is justification of Mr. Alleyne’s belief. We have observed that dictatorial stile of Skeritt before. In a few days, Tony, Aaron, Simeon Macintime Douglas even Ducreay will try to justify SKeritt’s action and life moves on. One thing for sure, Skeritt have been very consistent in terms of dumping the constitution in the garbage bin. He has not been only singing the no law no constitution calypso for many years but he has also been performing it on the Dominica stage. I feel for you, Mr. Linton, and Dominica. Skeritt once said, Dominica is too free and isn’t a real country. All I can advise you is to pray, maybe some day change will come. I hope God has not given up on this beautiful country.

    Anon , stop playing unnecessary devils adcvoate and read the entire section reference of the law and its proceedures. For your information, what this Inept Pm should do, as is obligated by the Constituiton, is to call the Leader of the Opposition to his office and start off the discussion with, “I am considering the appointment of Chief of Police or Deputy etc, and in accordance with the Constituion I am soliciting your consultation and advice before I submit to the Office of the President for approval.

    You see, Skerrit uses a doctured approach to everything as a big joke, maybe as he is. It is very diffciult for Skerrit to rise up to the intellectual and honesty of Hon Linton.

  29. Skerrit’s either lack comprehension of the English language, or he is simply deliberate in insulting the intelligence of Lennox Linton, and the nation in general. The term consultation, or consult implies one who consults with another, giving advise on a matter, be it professional advise or service.

    It should be a deliberation between two or more people, who must agree on a particular matter, in other words there must be a meeting of the mind! If you write someone a letter stating you are going to do something, or have decided to do something, after the fact, that is not consultation; that is I’ve done it, and there is nothing you can do about it.

    “I shall advise the president to appoint Davidson Valerie to act in the position of Chief of police.” He did not ask Lennox what do you think of my suggestion, to give Lennox a chance to even respond with a letter, that is disrespectful and blatant disregard to the nations’ constitution!

      Well said Mr. Linton. the spirit of consultation did not play out in this scenario. Truly so!! But tell me I pray Sir, perhaps some surrogate may wish to advise or clear the air. When the police administration was decapitated in 1996/1997 to make way for political appointees to assume control of the police service, what was the procedure used. When was the Opposition so advised? I am not sure Sir, that the “spirit” of consultation you have so ably spelt out was utilized. In that act of changing the guards as it were at police headquarters, the Chief and Deputy and the third in line were summarily asked to take vacation leave with immediate effect. Two other officers rose through the ranks overnight to assume leadership of the police. What is right and proper? Since you have not disassociated yourself with that brand of leadership of the UWP back them, perhaps you are not in any position to criticize the same 20 years later. Let us agree Sir, that a wrong is a wrong, irrespective

It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of a Skerrit administration than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their leader. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Skerrit, who is a mere symptom of what ails Dominica. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The commomwealth can survive a Roosvelt SKerrit, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their leader.

    Ouote by a past world leader amended to fit our situation.

    i think it’s time that citizens in the US write to the US State dept about the affairs in Dominica and the concern of selling Dominica’s Passports like fish all over the globe..

    Citizens overseas needs to turn up the dam heat on the Skero Dictatorial movements..
    stop that stuff folks…we need to get Big Bro and the others to stop that CBI program once it’s dead the rest will work itself out…as when the CBI Fails the regime will fall…..

    that’s the aim please stop the CBI Program by all means possible!!

    • “i think it’s time that citizens in the US write to the US State dept about the affairs in Dominica and the concern of selling Dominica’s Passports like fish all over the globe..”

      The State department of the United States, and England also, are already aware of what Skerrit and his clones in Dominica are doing. Nevertheless, they are powerless to do anything about Skerrit’s malfeasant. You must understand Dominica is a Sovereign nation, and no foreign power can dictate to him what to do in the country.

      Whatever is Skerrit fate, will have to come from the people of Dominica. The only thing the United States, might do is as Canada has done. One day two Jet load of Chines arrived in Toronto filled with people holding Dominica’s passport, not one of them spoke English, the did not know the geographic location of Dominica, hence they were denied entry into Canada, they were returned from whence they came. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

    Much ado about nothing, politics of misinformation. The operative word here is shall, it indicates a future activity. According to the letter from the Prime Minister he is simply informing the Leader of the opposition of the person he is going to recomend to fill the popsition of deputy cheif. The Leader of the opposition must now respond stating his position on the choice. If the Leader of the oppossition fails to respond he would be neglecting his duties under sec 92 of the constitution.

When the Prime minister invited the present Leader of Opposition for consultation re the election of a new President for Dominica. What happened? Protestation and more protestation.

      What if the PM has not informed the person he is recommending for the job as yet? And the letter to the Leader of the Opposition is on the radio and internet? is anything confidential?

      Do you see anything wrong there? Maybe the gentlemen has not even told his family until he was sure (in case he was told) that the position was his or he is being considered for the job.

      This opposition has to be more diplomatic and professional in the way they handle government information given to them. Did he call the PM and speak with him before he went on the radio and online? Did he respond to the PM’s letter before going to the Press? Something does not make sense to me, except it is meant for some ulterior motive, yet to be revealed.

For your information, what this Inept Pm should do, as is obligated by the Constituiton, is to call the Leader of the Opposition to his office and start off the discussion with, “I am considfering the appountment of Chief of Police or Deputy etc, and in accordance with the Constituion I am soliciting your consultation and advice before I submit to the Office of the President for approval.

      You see, Skerrit uses a docutored approach to everything as a big joke, maybe as he is. It is very diffciult for Skerrit to rise up to the intellectual and honesty of Hon Linton.

You people look for every conceivable excuse to justify or make right everything this guy does no matter how wrong. You are so very correct, the operative word is “shall” meaning MUST. This letter is no different to what was issued before when consultation was required, so what makes you think that the outcome will be any different to before. Furthermore the individual being suggested by skerritt has a questionable history as a police officer, which is the case with all appointment made by skerritt. Is this the kind of Dominica that we want? A Dominica where hard work, dedication, integrity and ability is frond on but rouges and vagabons are elevated to high office. How do you propose that the leader of the opposition should respond to this letter? If skerritt wanted to consult he would have invited Linton to have a discussion and there reveal who his candidate is and why.

    Because this has always been a source of contention with this Opposition I decided to investigate forms of consultation after reading the DNO article, just to see where is the problem. My view:

    If you formally inform someone of a situation or your intention to do something you have consulted that individual?

    The constitution does not say the PM has to sit down with the Leader of the Opposition and discuss said appointments.

    The constitution does not state the government needs the advice or input from the Leader of the Opposition. The constitution does not say a debate is necessary.

    If I sent a letter to my lawyer about a legal affair, I have consulted my lawyer.

    If I sent my child school a letter informing the Principal my child will not be coming to school today because he or she has the flu; I have consulted the school

    You can also use consultation with someone you trust. The PM letter is released on the internet? National Security quickly comes to mind.

    • Anonymous
      September 8, 2016

      To talk the truth, sometimes I wonder about Dominicans and the general direction the country is going.

      Although the constitution did not state the two parties should have a meeting, it made it clear consultation must be done. According to the dictionary, consultation means “to seek advice or information from someone.”

      It is clear Skerrit never sought advice or information about the appointment, he simply made it clear he was informing Linton that he has made up his mind and advising the President to appoint Hobbs, simple as that.

      Informing someone of something is not consulting. So I can wake up one day and take my son out of his present school and transfer him to another school without telling my wife. And the next day I informed her about it, and then for you this is consulting?

      I weep for this country.

      2 : a discussion about something that is being decided
      3 : the act of looking for information in a book, on a map, etc.

They cannot take the heat when Linton is opposed and criticized but they can give the PM and supporters all the heat and expect them to accept it. They project it very well that they hate the PM and his supporters. Note their comments/response. They leave much to be desired. Those who support the PM never project hatred. This goes to show the type of people who support Linton are like. What they sow they will reap and soon enough.
      You are correct. Linton does not care two hoots about them. He is only playing a game of pretense and using them.
      Why did he go to Q95 instead of communicating with the PM? He also shows his hatred for the PM and consistently stirs up trouble, causing his supporters to incite same. Such a man has projected that he is not worthy of being PM of Dominica.

      • Facts, hate come in all different shape and form, here you are talking about people hate Skerrit. How can you say that when your comments regarding the UWP, and Lennox specifically are so hateful, and prejudicial.

        Play politics, if you wish, don’t be hypocritical about it. Your hope is that all of us should say; oh, what a great guy is Roosevelt Skerrit! It cannot be like that: Some people will support him, others will not especially those of us who sees Skerrit incompetence, and his lack of vision, which renders him incapable of doing what is necessary, and important to bring prosperity, and wealth into the country.

        It is not about hate Facts, it about the truth; you perhaps have not dealt with Skerrit one on one many of us have, and found him not to be trustworthy; he never keep his words, that makes him a notorious liar, and that is one of my problems with him. He lied to me and so I had to stop supporting him. Secondly he tried to destroy my cousin Lennox, by talking him…

      • Continue:

        I had to stop supporting him. Secondly he tried to destroy my cousin Lennox, by talking him to court, suing him for more than a million dollars for a political statement he made, regarding politicians in Dominica preying (taking advantage) on young women when they go to seek economic assistance from the politicians, which turned out to be true!

        Some of them got arrested, and the cases seem to have become dormant.

        And mind you Lennox did not point his finger directly at Skerrit, nor mention any of the people including Skerrit, and that Marigot woman married to the late prime minister Charles sued him too. I wonder who she took advantage (preyed) on man or woman!

    Well said Mr. Linton. the spirit of consultation did not play out in this scenario. Truly so!! But tell me I pray Sir, perhaps some surrogate may wish to advise or clear the air. When the police administration was decapitated in 1996/1997 to make way for political appointees to assume control of the police service, what was the procedure used. When was the Opposition so advised? I am not sure Sir, that the “spirit” of consultation you have so ably spelt out was utilized. In that act of changing the guards as it were at police headquarters, the Chief and Deputy and the third in line were summarily asked to take vacation leave with immediate effect. Two other officers rose through the ranks overnight to assume leadership of the police. What is right and proper? Since you have not disassociated yourself with that brand of leadership of the UWP back them, perhaps you are not in any position to criticize the same 20 years later. Let us agree Sir, that a wrong is a wrong, irrespective.

      I support the observations. This unexplained “accrument” of vacation leave is rampant throughout the Public Service costing the State hundreds of Thousands of scarce dollars. The new acting CPO should go on a calculated exercise to identify those Public Service miscreants and demand that they talke their leave forthwith or put in place a well managed system that will over a period of one year clear the service of such unexplained or rather abuse. Nine months of vacation leave? When the gentleman comes back, he has no more interest in policing. No one person should feel or made to feel so indispensable as to cause the state such avoidable expenditure. The CPO must scrutinize the applications to find out why when somebody has 100 days they are only applying for ten days and five days. if they are so indispensable for one or two months at a time, then how can they afford to be away from the job for nine months? Somebody please explain. The minister of Finance should take note too!

      #D. Oh, you are the guy with the Ph.D in Assiology? I agree with you boy, practice what they teach you at school.

    • Poor slave, you are so dumb you have absolutely no concept of what the conversation is about!

      If you are not an idiot, analyze article 92, or is it 93 of Dominica’s constitution and explain it in your own words, maybe by then you will discover how stupid you are, your initial “D” stands for dunce and dumb!

    If anyone still had any illusions as to the dictatorial tendencies of Roosevelt Skerrit and his disregard of the law, here is the proof.,
    One does not have to to like mr. Linton but both the constitution and common decency demand that as a leader . mr. Skerrit sets and example for proper behaviour and respects the office office of the leader of the opposition, for the sake of democracy. I’m sad to say that the P.M. is seriously lacking in this regard..

    Wow another violation again, well the constitution on holiday! But seriously where is the BAR Association and other institutions in all this? The BAR had a big show at Fort Young the other day but conveniently they have gone back in hibernation till next year I suppose. This country is really and truely not a real country, its just a playground for Skerrit and co.

    History will record the darkest period of bad ruling of a leader in power the disregard for law and order. and how the authorities on island promoted this evil upon themselves..

    so when one calls for a natural disaster or God to intervene it has Great merit..

    as Dominica and Dominicans are upholding something their forefathers would never permit. the so called churches promote the attitude of greed and hate in the island..
    i think dominica needs a cleansing period…that’s what is needed when evil roams and dominates a island…nothing will flourish or bear fruit and the signs are their to see..

    What’s wrong with this guy Skerrit. This is what happens when you have an accidental PM as in an accident – bad things happen- and it is very diffusely or it takes long to recover.

      #Tom Brown; you should be an ass-tronaut. But I think I see where you coming from. If your wife comes home one day and told you she just sold the house, that would be fine with you, right? Or even better, she gave one of your kids up for adoption. I guess you would be a nuisance to even ask her a question, right?

    Dominica’s Governance is a ratta type land field and it’s factual…
    but sadly the citizens of dominica embrace and accept dominica’s ratta governance..

    it just shows what sort of caliber of citizens reside in dominica..it’s a big shame…
    and it’s going to continue as the so call high profile and policy makers on island are selfish they care less about their island’s growth and success.
    dominica is a disgrace to the Westminster system of governance…
    dominica has become so dam low, they have no creative angles, and resorting highly to selling Dominica Passports and proudly boasting of it…

    only in a fools paradise like dominica…
