Senator Danny Lugay has apologized for statements made at a United Workers Party public meeting in Soufriere last week saying they were “unbecoming” of him.
At the meeting, which was held on July 3, Lugay said that that there are some people who “deserve to die” for keeping Dominica back.
“If I wasn’t a believer, I would take out some people in Dominica, you know,” he stated. “My heart is different and that is why I wouldn’t do it, but it have some people that deserve to die in Dominica. Honestly, when you see the sort of things that they do to keep back Dominica.”
Lugay has been under fire from the government with prime minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, describing the statements as “extraordinary”.
Skerrit said he believes the police should question Lugay “on what are his plans because those statements are very serious statements.”
But on Tuesday morning Lugay said at the meeting he had made “certain statements targeted at questionable behaviors which I considered to be harmful to the public interest” and they were “unbecoming of me and inconsistent with my personal beliefs, conviction and the policy of UWP Team Dominica.”
He apologized without reservation for the statements.
“I sincerely regret the statements and without reservation apologize to the people of the Soufriere Constituency in particular, and the people of Dominica in general,” the UWP senator said.
He further stated that he is deeply sorry for the inconvenience the statements may have caused his family, his constituents of Roseau North, colleagues in the UWP and the Parliament of Dominica.
“I ask for the forgiveness of all. I pledge my continued commitment to serve the people of Roseau North and the people of Dominica,” Lugay said.
Mr Lugay , if by accident you were asked to give a speech on the latest violent act in st joe would you be able to speak it? this tells me that your words didn’t fall on deaf ears boy! if things doesn’t go your way and you’re not a believer do your thing boy!
@listener It’s a matter of ‘No Lavw Not even the Constitution Can Stop People nowadays from doing what they want’.
Do you know said these words?
We only use this forum to attempt to give biased view when it is convenient for us. How often have we heard persons in the current administration blurting outrageous and outlandish remarks? We are being hypocrites. I am not condoning what Mr. Lugay’s remark, however I will commend him for being man enough to apologise. He said what others have said in curtained words. Wrong is wrong, regardless of the source.
Well Lugay spill the secret of their intention it was’nt a coincident its the fact. This is no joke its a serious matter. He apologized because it put a stain on them. I ‘m not surprised there is more to be said.
This latest faux pas from Lugay just goes to show that all of us are human and are capable of error and poor judgement. All of us.
When we look back over the last ten years and recall the various foibles, faulty allegations, and malicious aspersions that have been spoken in public by politicians or aspiring politicians, none of the politicians is in a position to judge the other. None of them.
Vote wisely at the next general elections.
all of all u just talking well why don’t u all tell they pm to apologize
Dominicans should be relentless in calling for a proper apology and then resignation. In the US no congressman nor senator would survive this vile utterances. It is time for him to make his exit, he demonstrates that he can’ t change. But what a quagmire this will create, will the leader place himself up in Mr. Luguay constituency if he resigns?
The leader of the Labour party is the number one user of terms unbecoming of a politician.
Danny boy as a believer read the book of proverbs it will help guide your speech
Next in line should be Mr. Austrie and the PM….put aside all political differences for a second and man up!
People are saying well done Mr. Lugay for his late apologise, and that came only after the prime minister brought it out to the Dominican public. Am still waiting on the UWP team to say something, guess Linton cannot find the right words to say. If some of us call ourselves Christians, words like that should never come from our mouths. Still not going to judge the man, his fruits will sell him out………………….
Mr. Linton was on Q95 with Matt to give his side of the story. He even offered an apology on behalf the UWP Team Dominica. Remember the words, No law, no Constitution”and the words , “go to hell,” we have not yet received an apology. Better late then never.
@Amazing Linton is one of Dominicas most articulate MAN, so if you DOTISH go find a doctor. Whenever he speaks he used the right words.
I would also like to commend DANNY for being a man, and being able to apologise to the people. I hope Skerrit learns a lesson from those who are willing to serve us like Danny. You must go search for Skerrit and tell him why Danny is seen in such a good light by acknowledging that he is wrong and apologising.
Didn’t Skerrit send you to Hell THREE TIMES? He also told a slave like you that “Man to Man he can Marsh Up UWPites”. You are such a clown you must have been clapping and screaming like a comic. SHAME ON YOU! YOUR SOO TEE WERT!
Your wait is as loooong as 12 years waiting on Skerrit and other DLP people to talk about report to us on the bin bobol , corruption and other questionable deeds…….., SEXUAL FAVOURS,,,,MACAU passport sales matters…Dubai etc…etc…the corruption list is Loooong, you will agree
Leader Lennox Linton spoke in detail on this matter, where have you been.
This story is now closed….TEAM DOMINICA is NOW focussed on the future to get rid of this corrupt government.
CHANGE IS A MUST……TEAM DOMINICA
I never knew that a man of God would think first and utter such veil thought,,,so help me GOD
@G.B A man og God is not God. Go read your bible, and don’t be a laughing stock. You have done worse than that, but the good thing is that the man of God will see his wrong and will go to his father and ask for forgiveness. The apology is one such step.
Now go tell Skerrit how many times have he apologised to the Dominican people for all the insults he has hurled at them.
WELL DONE MY PARL REP!
You seem to know so much , what about blashemy!!!!
Who do want Jesus or Barabas?
Who do you want Skerrit or?
and I guess you were jumping and shouting amen!!
I don’t think these politicians take their role seriously, whether its a labour party candidate or uwp. These guys should be thought codes of ethics, public speaking as well as how to write speech. i can’t comprehend how a man could make such stupid remakes. Yes you have appologize, yes that was very brave of you but guess what, there people out there who might end up taking your words very seriously. my advice to you and every other politician, be careful when you speak, there are many young people who look to you guys. Who don’t want a generation of assassins.
Has any one envision a scenario where Linton, Lugay and fountain is meeting a delegation from the IMF & world Bank where it agencies are saying that a restructuring program is a must for Dominica and the trio is not happy or in agreement, oh how frightening that environment would be, with the sentiments already expressed by these men I would be very fearful for the IMF & World Bank team.
where Linton, Lugay and fountain is meeting a delegation…..
the trio is not happy or in agreement.
Kingman before you start talking at least learn to write and speak properly- you Labourite !!!!!
@Kingman Rest assured if these BRILLIANT MINDS are meeting the IMF, Dominic will be VERY VERY VERY well represented, because they are not like the clowns in the Labour Party. In fact anong these three men is Dr Fontaine ? Dr Fontaine is one of the Caribbeans most brilliant economist. Are you Paro or what?. Linton is one of Dominica most brilliant orator, and forward looking individual.. GO SWEEP THE WHITE POWDER FROM YOUR BRAIN MAN!
You think these men are Skerrit man. Can Skerrit negotiate? Can Skerrit debate? Can Skerrit represent us with distinction abroad?
GO TO NIGHT SCHOOL!
Is the man who calls himself leader of Dominica going to hold another press conference on Danny’s apology? How does he feel now that Danny has apologized?
Wow can’t wait for election.
He, we feels GOODS…..
it takes a man ….an honourable man to apologise and being out of place/
Go talk to Skerrit and ask him to apologise, if he man enough. I bet you, yo will hear a repeat of:
“GO TO HELL…GO TO HELL…NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS”……..
CLEAN YOUR HOUSE FIRST PLEASE
As it is written, ‘The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked’……. Jeremiah 17:9. Why is it that some people feel that they hold the monopoly rights to insult, abuse (verbal, physical, mental, emotional etc.), ridicule, induce pain and suffering to others (In a nutshell render pure evil onto others) and they feel good about their behaviours and they honor themselves for doing so, they have even convinced themselves that their victims must lie down and play dead, these people do not feel that there are any consequences for their actions and decisions taken. Yet if and when the truth is spoken about them base on their actions and behaviours; by their victims or anyone else, or they are given a taste of their own medicine then they become upset, angry, agitated, defensive, portray themselves as victims, demand sympathy from others and even becomes violent. While we all must pray for the grace of God daily to be able to deal with what we are faced with on a daily basis; we should always ask God to help us that we do render evil deeds with good.
God himself said that he had regretted that he made man. Genesis 6:6. God was grieved at heart when he made that statement. MAN IN HIS SIGHT WAS SO EVIL AND WICKED.
The devil wants to correct sin… a reminder that is not a position that the devil will ever be able to hold. Man may deceive himself and others thinking that he is God and he is untouchable/immortal but that position is also only for and will only be held by Jehovah God Almighty. We have seen the demised of those who thought so……. Sadam Hussain, Osama Binladin, Gaddathie to name a few.
The DLP and it’s supporters needs to examine itself and turn away from the unrighteousness it continues to dispense on the people of Dominica because evil cannot prevail over good. It may last for awhile but will soon be repaid according to it deeds ……The wicked will be cut off by the sword…, thus said the Lord. Ezekiel 21:3.
here is a season for everything and the unrighteousness will not be there forever. God will soon destroy this system of things.
NOT because one does not believe in GOD or may not acknowledge his word as true, it will not change the fact that God exit and that his words are true. He will do what he says he will do and he will fulfill his promises because he is a God who cannot lie. Numbers 23:19.
I pray for my Country and it’s people that evil will not reign in the land, I pray that the Lord God almighty will be acknowledge and will be allowed to reign above all in the land. Material and physical possessions will soon perish and disappear. I pray that the spiritual eyes of the people will be open to see the love, beauty and glory of God. John 3:16 ‘For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting Life.’
I wish Skerrit would realize what Danny has done with all the humility that has characterised his being. HE TOO (Skerrit) owes it to thousands of Dominicans.
I REALLY LIKE THAT DANNY!
@London GOOD PIECE. I accidenbtally ticked ‘Thumbs Down”.
Wow, religion can do strange things to the mind, it sad to read some of the absurdities repeated and believed by you. Why are you using your religious belief as the focul point to give credence to support your Political beliefs regarding the state of The Country. You have made statements regarding God and his regret about making man. It is very sad to believe such thing as a Human being and worst of attributing this to God. The ultimate form of ignorance is not knowing something, it is the refusal to find out about the things you do not know,as to your prayers very nonsensical.
It is amazing. After reading the statements made by readers of DNO, I ask myself how can so many people be so blind, so miss-lead.
Mr Lugay made a statement and others took it to heat, mainly PM Skerro. Every blind follower jumped on PM train and started to bash Lugay and UWP for the statement, demanding an apology….but wait..who demanded an apology from PM or/and any member of his party for all the statements they have been making over and over. The PM has insulted Dominican’s over and over, and what has the public demand? NOTHING. Seems when PM speaks who is not in favor will feel the long end of the stick.
Dominicans are just damn two face. I feel sorry for all these blind PM followers, for when he is gone they will be lost. Why haven’t apologies been demanded for all these vulgar and violence statements made by the DLP et al?
Soufriere Constituency
Please take note. This man has admitted and apologized fir his error; this is a remarkable thing for a politician to do. How many times has our Prime Minister and his band of merry men apologized for their many misdemeanours?
The Labour Party treats us with contempt. This is one of the many reasons why they need to be voted out at the next election.
DNO I spoke at the first of this message but you did not accept it–but I have something to say as well–I hope that you will allow the audience to hear my voice this time
The apology of Danny Lugay is not sincere–he is not sorry or sincerely regrets what he said–but he simply tried to clear his conscience and to brush off the dirt which he spilled on his own integrity. “For as a man thinks in heart so is he”
His idea of being a “believer” the reason why he would not (kill)–take out some people from his environment–caused me to question what kind of “believer” is he; for a person who believes in God is guided by His Holy Spirit. And Holy Spirit is the Person from conscience who teaches him to rebuke wicked, evil, or sinful thoughts which enters the ground of that person\s mind–so that those seeds will not be formed and produced–especially not in words. For Life and death comes by the spoken word.
However, not only did Danny Lugay entertained those thoughts of his mind–he also executed them by his spoken words–according to one blogger here, “spoken words do not return once they are executed”–that is the reason the Word of God warns us to be careful with that tongue of ours.
And those words of our mouth are more powerful than any physical weapon, and any action of goodness–for words will kill a person spiritually, and “a broken spirit dries the bones”; goodness can be done without Love .
The thought of and spoken words of killing is just as bad as doing the action–but thanks to God, He will guide and protect His chosen people; those who call for evil and wickedness will know the rewards of their call–an apology that is spoken with the lips and not from the heart is just as fruitless and empty as no apology at all.
But Danny Lugay’s apology is simply–his word of mouth; it did not come from his heart.
Liz how can you see his heart, u have a machine to see peoples heart now??what is it ultrasound or a MRI ..oh is an ECG or something. U need to keep your mouth closed. Your ranting on DNO is annoying and betrays your feeble mind. Your party loyalty is blinding you. Stop judging that YOU may not be judged.
Parry, I would encourage the Prime Minister to take a leaf from the book of Mr. Lugay. Not many Dominicans including the Prime Minister is prepared to accept responsibility for there wrong doings. For instance, if the Prime Minister had acknowledged he has made a foefar when he made the statement concerning, “no law no constitution,” that statement would not be following him like a bad scent.
DNO Please allow me space in your forum to express my view on my birth place DA.
Although I hold strong feelings in regards to persons office on island even the much considered and held in high regard by many(Dame EChar les) I do believe the problem has its roots in our triple standards. and to a large degree.Some folk fall for pedigree others for lack of it.
When people of humble birth get into office they manifest from whence they came. ej.Our first P.M review 1975-79. Then the DFP elitist party,then those who lacked everything expected in that office.
When a P.M with some studiation addresses his nation on his first Independence anniversary in office and claims to be on stage and inchargeand claim people don’t like what he looks like and where he comes from,manifests an inferiority complex whih his education should have defined him different. When a Minister suggests a smoked herring breakfast for invitees(regional at that) what does one think of ? Pedigree for sure. Think it was Mr.Boyd who said in June of 1995:” the horses are out of the stable”
Many took offense Then came those we have now after the death of Rosie and Pierro. and just screwed up everthing even calling themselves DLP when the neos took control.
The current P.M is a joke remember he did not apologise for the Land Transfer when Matt in the M at morning wrote $5K salary million $ assests? Danny was emotional and went off at a tangent Danny had the COJONES to apolgise today. Skerrit is yet to. and DA population finds all faults in Danny and the boy from VC lack the cojones ( written in lowercase little balls.
This is maturity.
I LOVE THIS MAN.
Well Done Danny!!!!!
I wonder how many members of the corrupt, INSULTIVE, lazy wicked and DUNCE Labour Party can do so considering the number of times they have insulted Dominicans!! SHAME ON THEM!
Sorry. This is not an “insult.” This is a vile attempt to foment and encourage violence against the subject of Luga’s angst, Alick Lawrence, Senior Counsel.
All the commentators on here want to forget that this man was particular in naming the one person whom he detests for obstructing his wish. He did not limit his comments to calling the man obstructionist, or any other pejorative befitting someone blocking your way. No, that would not be enough.
So incensed is Mr. Luga with those like Alick who would stand in his way that he would like to see them be killed. He said as much. Alick is amomg the “some” Danny would liquidate. Only, he is a believer.
Is Dominca so bereft of integrity that we are bound t to put up with and cultivate persons devoid of integrity?
@Ba Yo Bwa Oh you hater go on the Animnal Show with your garbage. This is where your filth and rubbish can get traction. You will find many of your ilks there. DANNY HAS SHOWN LEADERSHIP. Can you say that for the man to whom you are a slave, lapdog and beggar?
He recognized and acknowledged where he went wrong. Please accept it.
I am amazed or should I that some people exalt wrongdoing. So he apologized. What is that? One of the things that come not back is “The Spoken Word.”
If it were the other way around, the Party you do not support, I visualize what some of you would have stated. There would be no end to your criticisms and other uncomplimentary words. But it is someone whom you support, you are even complimenting and exalting him for apologizing. Well, well, some of you are something else. Some unfair people.
All he should have been told officially is, “Thank you” from those whom he offended, if they felt like it.
From now on I hope they will all button their lips if they think of a derogatory word and refrain from them. Speak your mind, address the issue and do not deviate from what you planned to say.
So he apologized. What is that? One of the things that come not back is “The Spoken Word.”
The Facts, we all have spoken words. Have you spoken words? And are you saying that once words are spoken that you can’t be forgiven?
mr lawrance had his fear share of hunting workers doung like alkaida no body said anything, is it only for one side?
Offcourse , that’s the purpose of an apology, is to withdraw the damage done , many others whom you support
need to do the same , that’s a fact.
Danny, you say that you said it at a previous public meeting and you are saying it again in Soufriere.
Danny, once is a mistake but twice is a habit.
Who you think you fooling with your so call apology?
First of all you didn’t apologize for what you said; you apologized for something else. What are the questionable behaviors you apologized for? Can you please explain?
Danny, be careful; what goes around comes around.
@FAST AND WICKED Why are you fool and nincompoop bursting your blood vessel because Danny has apologized?. You must be an accomplished buffoon to be so angry at something that is so gentlemnanly.
WELL DONE DANNY! I LOVE THAT!
I am wondering why most of my comments on DNO are never published. My comment was the first on DNO in reference to this statement made by the Senator. Now there are 67 excluding my own. And please don’t ask me to re-write it because you all know why it was not published. Thanks a lot..
The staff is politically compromised in addition to( I will not say.) they may not print if if I said the will not lol
join the club.
Well, well. I would not want a Man like that be my representative. Threatening people
Lives? Shame on you. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speakest
This incident occured since last Thursday and if The Next Level did not highlight the information last Saturday, UWP would continue with those sort of inflammatory remarks…. This has been the signature of the Workers party…… Old talk…. Hear Lennox call de elections nuh,,, call it nuh…. Lennox you are not ready for elections and everyone knows that…
Workers is preparing for elections and using barbeque to raise funds in a constituency. You ready for elections?????? stuppesssssssssssssss………………………..
I tell you the longer Skerrit holds back is the more you all blunder with those bull talk….. marjee talk…. lennox be real you are just not ready for the big league… you think you are smart cat but you far from ready…
follow Lugay and apologise to Dominicans for the numerous blunders you have made since attaining leadership role…….
@Smart Cats????????
You are sounding so VEX that the gentleman apologized. Do you have a smoked head? Are you paro? HE HAS DONE THE RIGHT THING. This is what you expect of men who are willing to serve. Now it is up to you to ask your master Skerrit to do the same. Can you? You must also tell him to call the election.
Well Done Lugay! I APPLAUD THE GENTLEMAN, and i am sure this is tightening his grip on the seat that he is contesting.
HOW LONG?
NOT LONG!
yall are soo hungry for power, can’t you all wait for 5 years? he called it before his time last election now all you want the man to do it again? thats crazy….you people politically sick
Why do you people stoop so low to insult people when they don’t agree with your point of view. That is the problem UWPites are facing? Does that make you more of a man!
There are incidents similar to this that occurred on labour platform and highlighted on q95 up till now no one on the government side was humble enough to appologises so what’s u point? The man admitted his arose in judgement and appologises to the nation….ask skerrit and co to learn from mr lugay
Lapse in judgement correction
why was the apology read only on Q???
Now thats a man. I now call for the PM to apologise for asking me and Every other dominican to go to hell. It works both ways
Come on Austrie – your turn!
Bravo Danny. I applaud you… Best of luck to you my friend
I like that danny i like that
. Mr. Lugay I applaud you for your apology and I believe you are a sincere man of God. However the kind of politics that is being run in Dominica is no place for “the man of God” . There is too much hatred, covetousness, lies and selfishness. You will be a greater witness for the Lord outside this politics.
That’s exactly what he is being now, “a witness for the Lord”. We can be a true witness of Him in whatever capacity we are. Mr. Lugay, thanks for being an example and standing out among the other politicians in Dominica. Christ is the perfect example of humbleness and as a Christian that’s what you are portraying. I really admire you for that. God Bless.
@ time will tell , Did I hear man of God ? oh plz
In the international world when great men make mistakes they don’t only apologize, they step down. Even when someone else makes the mistake the CEO or chairman etc. is expected to step down. So I am calling on Danny Lugay to step down. You said it twice, you meant it. It is only because it has become an embarrassment you are apologizing. Be an even bigger man and please step down. Only by stepping down you will have shown that you are sincere and taking responsibility for your action. The public is waiting!!!!
I agree with you. So should the skerritt guy step down for the 2 mistakes his lawyer made with the land taxes? Just asking for your honest answer.
Shut the hell up! Allu ask austrie to step down?
was there threats of killing someone ………. can a saying of someone real love COW MEAT be taken or treaded as someone wanting to take people out, KILLING OF A HUMAN BEING ? Are we that politically SICK in Dominica. What was said by Austrie that can equated with asking to KILL Dominican ? Are we living under a ROCK ? ………… most of you blogging would even think of saying that crap. That can only be said and done by people who are SICK, POLITICALLY BANKRUPT AND LOW IDEAS.
I just put on my radio and I hearing an upcoming parl rep say that… and he just apologizing I agree with you too he should resign… from where I live in the diaspora I know of cases where a parl rep was involved in money laundering he resigned, one in massive corruption, he had other houses and pink villas , … land transfer scandal he resigned , a few resigned after the police authorities launched an investigation into alleged “rapist” ministers
Dominican let your judgment be true can you remember Charles Savarin statement that close a major supermarket took food from many people? such action is worst far worst that what we are condemning mr lugay for.
@ No law, you see why people like you get sued are you sure that s the reason why the place close? or was it ill managed?
@real possie I always laugh when a character and accessory of evil like you want to play lawyer.
By the way i congratulaate the gentleman, patriot, statesman and humble man DANNY LUGAY for apologising. I wish a leader as INSULTIVE as Skerrit would do the same to the Dominican people including real possie the SOT!
Well Charles Saverin have power papa! I guess when he speaks the Dominican population listen. If that’s the case UWP doesn’t stand a chance in the upcoming elections. All Saverin has to do is advise DA people not to vote for UWP and they will listen.
Your value system is definitely unconventional. Have you ever considered that what Mr. Brisbane did is even worse than the call to boycott his Supermarket.
If as some of you state, according to your mentality, a sin is a sin, it is not worst.
It is a great sin to make such statements about people should die. We should never wish this, not on our greatest enemy. God will decide who will die soon and who will live longer. Too many people play they are God, make such statements and take the Law into their hands. Someone or some people might follow-up on what he stated. He should pay for this.
Now Mr. Lugay, you made the statement twice so the second time would remove all doubts of it being a mistake. I do not recall such a strong statement even from the most radical of activists in Dominica, (i stand to be corrected). It should be logical to conclude that you do not posses the necessary wisdom or discipline to be a decision maker at the level of Cabinet. In the best interest of Dominica, my suggestion to you is to “leave de studio I doe want you inside dere”.
On a Labour Party platform mr Lawrence call on labour items to hunt down the opposition just as Obama hunts down alkada with drones… Simple interpretation he wants to wipe out the opposition…
@ free ,There’s a big difference between drones and political drones, stop looking for justifications for team terrorist, this is an act of terror ,this team needs to go to the middle east they are just unfit for Da politics.
The Skerrits Labour Party and Tony Astaphan repeatedly say these things and some of which are equally as bad yet your all “Labourites” (aka the colour blind, narrow minded, low critical thinking, brain washed, lowly educated in society hence we have a lot and the country remains backward as a result, in comparison to the region and the world) DO NOT SEEM TO NOTICE!!!! Blinded to that fact.
I am now awaiting the leader’s apology for his ‘rape’ comments…. or I guess he is lacking of the “courage, maturity, humility and sincerity” that Norris Prevost wrote about. But I guess we all knew that about the ‘pompous, arrogant wannabe PM’ already.
He will not apologize. He will go to his grave before he apologizes and you know where such souls end up in eternity.
There is something I find with some people. They make derogatory/insulting statements and when informed, they never apologize. I find this with many people who regard themselves as practicing religious people. They are proud as a peacock and will never admit their fault much more to apologize and genuinely say, “I am sorry.” Wicked hearts I would state.
We are aware Our Lord said, “Unless we become as little children, humbling ourselves, we will never enter the Kingdom. of Heaven:”
Do they not know that as they call themselves believers? Holy Scripture tells us: “Humble ourselves before God (before man) and He will exalt us in due time.”
The Lord needs to cleanse those who will not do that. If they are not cleansed, consider where their souls will end up.
Need I state as I have previously, St. Paul said, “Nothing defiled will enter Heaven?”
People must root out all evil thoughts, words, statements and actions from their hearts if they ever hope to please God and to appease him. Threatening anyone under any circumstances is totally wrong.
Some say Dominica needs a change of Government. I do not see that. What Dominica is in dire need of, it is a change of evil and proud hearts.
Those who judge and condemn the PM will themselves be judged two-fold and will condemn themselves. They are heaping burning coals on their heads. Therefore, from now on, everyone cease your charade of derogatory statements against the PM and his Party. You are no better. Let God be the judge; not you.
Come Lord Jesus. Come and purify your world.
The Facts, you keep on changing your fake name the same way snakes changes their skins, regardless how much you change from Justice and Truth etc, just like snakes will always be snakes you will always be that person who thinks that you know the minds, heart and soul of others, you will still be the same person judging others
I never hear skerrit nor his ministers apologize for what they are saying. You like quoting the scripture to people, practice what you preach, for you have demons too. did you apologize to the young lady now residing in Florida
Be careful what you wishes for others, for the same God whom you are preaching about, quoting from his words, is no mock, you should also ask God to purify your heart as well, for all the judging and condemnation you keep wishing for other
Did austrie apologize to Monelle? Politics is always about who we support and not what is right. I applaud Lugay
I am waiting on skerrit to appologises for telling Dominicans to go to hell…am also waiting on skerrit to step down for the land transfer scandal in which he had to pay the state som 51thousand dollars due because of the brilliance of Linton. I’m waiting on skerrit to step down for the bin and fertilizer bobol uncovered and made public again by Linton….when u labour items can start being objective and not selective then u concerns will be taken seriously
@ Free I suspect you are leaving in a bin because all the rubbish the judge throw in the bin years ago that’s what coming from your mouth, don’t you forget last elections we walked on all those gabbage and gave you 18/3.
skerrit should apologize for wanting to TAKE OUT PEOPLE ? TO KILL DOMINICAN ? are we for real ? wow political PAROS
man just resign before you get fired like Ronny (Danny)
Congratulations to Mr. Lugay for publicly accepting that he made a mistake, and offering an apology. He, however, should also have offered his resignation as a senator and to withdraw as a candidate.
Politics!SMDH
Dear Mr. Bazil/Linton,
Isidore was fired for “trust and respect” issues. Why did you not ask him to apologise?. Violence is not as serious as trust and respect?
Double standards Mr. Linton/Mr. Bazil?
I am watching…….
WELL SAID ………… Double standards Mr. Linton/Mr. Bazil?
I applaud Mr. Lugay for apologizing, however, there needs to be more ramifications. Anyone seeking to represent people must be very careful when addressing a gathering. The Senator should be terminated immediately! A clear message should be sent out, that this behavior is unacceptable. It is good to forgive, however, we must proceed with caution in order to avoid future damage. Mr. Lugay must pay the price, he has inflicted his own injury and so he must suffer the consequences. He should be dismissed asap.
Following your line of reasoning, there are, therefore, many persons who before the day Mr. Lugay made that statement should have been terminated from their positions because of their behaviors and words. Mind you, I am not excusing his behavior, at least he was humble enough to ask for forgiveness but gosh, stop being so myopic!
Domincans are sick applauding Lugay for this words to kill and take people out. Yes he apologized for saying it twice I think he meant it. The only thing I can say God is watching.
Mr lugay I don’t know you, but I’m very happy you stand for yor action and coments which was made, I know it’s out of fustration with our consitution, we have no one to turn to ask for help no law for anything , that’s what our country come to, but the good lord will hear our cry oneday , change is a must.
I do believe that some people are imagining things and also exaggerating. Have you considered their approach? It is how they approach the PM. They probably do not do so respectfully.
When they feel changes are needed, their approach must be respectful. When they make suggestions, they must await his response and know that not all suggestions and demands are feasible and can be approved.
You cannot force a Prime Minister, a leader of a country to match to your tune. This is what they have to take into consideration and learn.
Consider children being disobedient, rude, disrespectful and demanding of their parents. Those who have children should fully know what I am trying to relay here.

The comments I have read against the PM, calling him and his government corrupt, etc., is shocking and they are getting away with it. With that type of attitude and approach, do not blame the PM if you find him indifferent. I am certain he is not being that.
They must comprehend that he is the PM and must be respected. You must wait for his response. You cannot boss him and force him to do your will.
Some of you need to learn godly virtues of discipline, respect and humility. Did you not learn this at home and in school? Furthermore, Holy Scripture teaches us about it. God is taking note of your general actions.
Thumbs up to you Danny for apologizing to the Dominican public.You are very courageous and we are very proud of you that you came out and accepted that what you said was not acceptable.Skerrit want police to intervene but he doesnt remember what he said.He threatened the dominican people red like blue tout moun!THIS COUNTRY IS TOO FREE MADAM SPEaKER THREE TIMES HE SAID THAT!Wat are your plans skerrit?We need answers.Tell them i say go to Hell doe ask me where i get my money from.NO LAW NO CONSTITUTION NO GOVErNMENT CAN STOP ME!Dominicans these comments are serious.wat is his plan?Do you know what is the constitution dominicans?THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND NOTHING IS HIGHER THAN THAT!And if skerrit can say those harsh things and not be sanctioned for it or apologize like danny well that man have power in our country!Next level of communism!Research communism dominicans .watch the news of those countries that communist.It is not nice.NO!Stop him somebody!
Thumbs up my dear fellow. you cant be serious
What the PM meant is, you lack discipline. I have deduced this by the comments of those who do not support DLP. Therefore, do not twist and turn what the PM stated to suit your mentality and exalt Lugay.
Lugay must confess to God for what he said and ask his forgiveness. There is a price, a penalty for making such statements which are words of hatred. They are not words of discord and frustration.
Do you think God will exonerate him? By no means for as a believer he should have known better. God knows if his apology is sincere. He has to answer to God for that.
With that, it is clear that you lack basic understanding. Where is the threat in those instances you cite? Do you understand what constitutes a threat? Or the ingredients of a threat? Before you come on here and spew trivia, do some reading (and consult a dictionary frequently) and improve your literacy skills.
You to need to do your own research on communism, not everything reported in news is the truth. Wake up and stop being so stupid.
Dear Mr. Lugay,
I would prefer your resignation than an apology.
Thank You.
On many occasions we hear Dominicans and especially patriots say they will kill, they fight, they will protect their countries regardless to what it takes. All Mr. lugay is saying, had it not been for his religious belief, he would destroy all those people who want to destroy his country. I support you Mr. Daniel Lugay.
give me a nice package n i will take care of skerrit. if is so he hve to come out well so be it. one way or de other change is a must
Dno allowed that comment to go through. Dominicans really to free. If you ever made comment like that in the us about the president the secret service would be at your door before you even know it.
So who are the people he was referring to? It all depends what his talk was about. It does not appear you comprehend what he stated. His words are posted on this Website.
That’s the differrece between the boys of the Lanour party and the men of the UWP. They apologies when called up to do so.
way to spin a story. keep your thump up your a**
You are joking. Did Linton apologize?
I think that it’s admirable of Me Lugay to apologise and I think that it’s right and proper that we accept his apology. My concern is that UWP need to screen their candidates and review their current Elected Members to ensure that they don’t behave like Linton and shoot from the hip in desperation and in panic. They should be ready to go on the international stage!!! I fear!!!
Well said!!
congratulations mr lugay for demonstrating that u are bigger than the situation .u did the right thing sir .this serves as an example for the others.mr pm we have to agree to disagree.dominicans lets not be bias even if we support a political party that’s ur right. when something is wrong lets call it by its name.i was standing in pointe Michel wen mr darroux cursed matt wasn’t that disrespectful wat did u say. u a self no law no constitution .where labour get its money is non of their damn business lets be real mr astaphans ople all kinda name wasn’t that disrespectful wat did u say`.its there cases that u needed the call on the police to do a proper investigation did u? an investigation into Mervin behavior and wat really happened did u? that press conference was so unnecessary and waste of money. pm there are more pressing issues to be discussed pm .pm u need to start the investigation when it comes to our behavior inside ur labour party camp .I guess is the opposition that’s y that was a big deal.mr lugay try to control ur tongue it is said wats comes out of our mouth is because we thinking about it be mindful wat all u say the power of the tongue it can really or make or break u be careful with that politics we playing in dominica what ever we do say or write let it be for the development and dominica best interest at heart the world is looking and hearing seeing about us lets all be careful
Once is a mistake-Twice is a habit; Your apology has no merit.
First of all you made no apology for what you actually said. You apologized for for something else. What are the questionable behaviors you talking about? Please explain.
Danny come better than that. We are not so foolish as you UWPites think.
Satan cannot correct sin……until u grow the baaalllllllssss to ask ur labour ministers to appologise and resign for thei many transgressions u do earn the right to ask the same of the uwp candidates… U clean a house from the iside out and not the other way around
Though this could be a fatal blow in your political career vying for a seat in RN-constituency knowing the way our people think , yet you’re good man showing testicular fortitude . Wish you and your party well at upcoming elections .
This is Dominica politics at it’s best but what is more troubling is some people come on this website and condone statements like this. He did not call names and we are all Dominicans so he could be referring to anyone of us or our family. I don’t care if you are DLP or UWP this words should never come out of your mouth. Half of these politicians are boys in men bodies so i expect more childish comments like this one.
Mr. Lugay i wonder if you would have apologized if the backlash was not so swift and harsh? But thanks for the apology, you are forgiven but your statement shows up exactly who and what you are and what you stand for..LABOR POWER
Huh. Danny strikes with an apology. U know Danny just got public with his assertive nature to break past all the talk of who’s the best. Bringing his heart to the Dominican people and showing his humble heart corrected with wise action. A breath of fresh air at the top of the water. Cure again.. giving u more again yeh.
Are you making an excuse for him? You are as bad as he is.
Skerrit make him apologize u think skerrit playin with dem fellas.
But PM Skerrit not man enough to apologize when he says something wrong.
God bless everyone in Dominica
Thumps up to u mr danny .Big respect to u ,Now let those little boys take it to the bank..those sinless ministers do the same////
I wonder if it was Ronnie Isidore, what would the public/supporters say?
This is what true leadership means. It means to acknowledge when you are wrong or right. I admire what yo have done sir. It takes a real politician to admit his mistakes. Your apology is well taken and we hope that your critics can do the same when they are wrong. We pray that you will continue to be an exemplary figure and that you will be successful at the poles when the time comes around.
What mistake he admitted to? He only apologized for he knew the repercussion of his words. Beginning with the PM, the majority of Dominicans gave him Hell for his careless words.
By the way, you recall what Our Lord Jesus Christ said about idle/careless words? He said: “On the Day of Judgment, by your words you will be acquitted and by your words you will be condemned.”
God makes no excuses for no one. Lugay must also repent for his careless words which could cause the demise of some people. People listen to him and who knows what the wicked ones are planning? He should have weighed his words carefully before speaking and think before he spoke.
That was the right thing to do Danny; and remember when you plan to address the public, leave your emotions at home.
Tell him to stick to the issue he planned to address.
FACTS are you for real, you also need to stick to the many issues surrounding you and your family in Pickering,Ontario you fool, you have time on your hand are you in the gym, stop being a jackass, Canada is a big country, and keep in mind that news spread around the globe like hot bread, if you are a Godly person as you keep proclaiming to be, what’s wrong with forgiving someone, love thy neighbor as thyself the Lord said
Thank you Danny that’s how big honest men behave. Now tell the PM to do the same…….Team Dominica all the way
Thanks Danny. You have man-up and done the right thing. We are a God fearing people and notwithstanding how reprehensible the statements you made are, we completely accept your apology and have forgiven you totally, even as Christ has forgiven us. You have demonstrated that politicians are indeed human and have set a new standard that we hope other politicians and their operatives will emulate. Blessings !!
You do not know if Christ forgave you or anyone. You must also make repentance and restitution for sins committed. Are you aware of that?
Congrats Mr. Lugay. It takes a real man to make a public and unconditional apology like you did. Your humbling response to this ‘crises’ showed that you have the mettle and fortitude to be an exemplary parliamentary rep. God bless you Sir!
On the other hand, despite the consistent barrage of tasteless utterances and actions from Prime Minister Skeritt and his band of irresponsible cohorts and yes-men ministers, there is yet to be any form of apology from the the government side of the fence. Now that, is ARROGANCE!!
“neither do I condemn you,go and sin no more” … to err is human ;to forgive divine.You are are forgiven Danny
Everyone of us at some point has experienced , or will go through those moments , where you’d wish and wonder why you , when you know better and what’s expected of you. Hence ,I take this moment to personally welcome Mr Lugay’s apology, demonstrating here the wisdom of the Almighty , in acknowledgement of his short coming . It is evident , he is someone who is passionate to do well and to see good for his people and for his country . May this be stepping stones to greater achievements politically , spiritually and socially, as he continues to serve .
We are not forgiven by our exertion. Hope God welcomed his apology and forgave him. We will never know. God knows and reads hearts. He cannot be deceived.
it takes a real man to apologize…well said sir…im still voting labour though
but wat is it about my comment ppl don’t like lol….not everyone that can b a teamDominica/UWP or Labour supporter unno
Some things are beyond words.
To err is Human Brother Danny. You showed that you are a big man by asking for forgiveness. For this you get my vote of confidence. Best of luck Danny.
He must not harbor hatred or project it. Otherwise he will not be forgiven. This pertains to all those who do.
you first wi cause u answering everybody like u have a real hatred for uwp dere wi bro. it always easy to see others faults not recognizing our own #wordtothewise
Danny you are a real man not a zaman, it only takes humility and courage to stand against the spoken words which came out as a result of gross frustration, I, therefore, commend you. Let us move on, that too shall pass.
I have not heard those few words before the comma in some years.
Nevertheless, you must not make excuses for wrongdoing. We cannot read his heart; only God can read it and knows if he is sincere. If he apologizes, it must be accepted.
Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect.”
He is true to his words and promises. He will not rescind his teachings, make excuses and exonerate anyone under any circumstance from not practicing what He taught us and also through the prophets and the disciples Keep in mind The Ten Commandments of God, “Thou Shalt Not Kill.” This means not to insinuate or make innuendos about it. There is a possibility it could be carried out be it by an unknown person. Guard your heart and mind and also your fingers on the computer keyboard.
Let this apology be an example to ALL politicians who, unwittingly or not, make statements not in keeping with the expectations of the people of Dominica.
Accordingly, the people of Dominica are expecting several other apologies from DLP politicians. They know, and we know, who they are…
And the Workers head honcho too on the “rapist ministers” statement.
That one is in the hands of the court; the rapists will be revealed, or they will be cleared, and we’ll hopefully know whether the statement was true or false.
The saying: “Let sleeping dogs lie.” What I mean by that and make no mistake, “What is past is past.” Whatever you perceive, it is gone. It is water down the drain which has already flowed into the river and to the sea. Where is it? You will never know. Therefore, do not raise a storm in a teapot and with your imaginings..
We accept your apology. That”s a man. We are proud of you Mr Lugay. Thanks for showing them that you are a man. However we just find that the Prime Minister is to double standard and Hypocrite for calling a press conference and for even making untrue statements saying no one in his party has ever behaved or said such things. Mr PM do you have memoire poul. or you deliberately forget that in lagoon at you alls victory meeting after winning the court case when the lawyer on your team etc said to go find them in all holes Marigot, Salisbury and droowne them get rid of them etc you forget and you yet to comment about it. why Mr PM please call a press conference and tell us.
I am glad that mr lugay apologized but the PM and other members in his party has made sooooo many statements that were despicable to the ppl of D/A and never own up to it by saying that they are sorry so that tells you that our PM is a boy and hasn’t grown up as yet .Men take responsibility but boys are like chicken .Danny you did the right thing You were raised well. I give you all the respect for doing what is right.
Those who are raised well must show it by their life and their actions in words and deeds. They do not, as a rule deviate from such discipline and moral teachings.
I think he is influenced by the attitude of Lennox Linton which is to be expected. Birds of a feather flock together.
Show me your friends and I will show you who you are. What comes out of the mouths of people project who and what they are. Also through their fingers on the computer keyboard.
It rubs off on others who associate with them. No getting away from that. In order to change, they must disassociate themselves with such people.
Dear The Facts
You are so pompous and sanctimonious.
I am sure that you are not whiter than white.
This man has grown ten feet in my estimation. He was man enough to admit and apologize for his mistake. When has the P M or any of his Yes Men shown such gumption?
Mr Lugay, you are what Dominica needs. Bravo!
Let this apology be an example to ALL politicians who, unwittingly or not, make statements not in keeping with the expectations of the people of Dominica.
Accordingly, the people of Dominica are expecting several other apologies from DLP politicians. They know, and we know, who they are…
But wait a minute, didn’t he also say that he said the same thing in an earlier meeting in Fond Cole? Why didn’t he also apologize for that? It is clear that this apology isn’t sincere and the man meant every word he said. The police need to keep serious survellance on these blue guys, starting with the leader
The first time it must have been overlooked. The second time is not regarded as a mistake.
It became a habit which, if not checked, could culminate into something worst as it is getting closer to election.
Did DNO post his words the first time? I cannot recall reading it. Unless I missed it.
haven’t you ever heard your pm
Senator Lugay apologizes for
His Miss-statement .
“Whist many Dominican politicians have from time to time “crossed the line” in what they have said, rarely have they shown the political maturity and the humility, to apologize unconditionally. Senator Danny Lugay, in his unconditional apology for as statement made by him, which he deemed inappropriate, has raised the standard expected of Dominican politicians, and must be commended. It takes courage, maturity, humility and sincerity, for one to make an apology privately; much more so, for a public apology. My respect and admiration goes out to Senator Lugay, for the courage, maturity, humility, and sincerity, which he has demonstrated.”
Hon. Norris Prevost
Member of Parliament
God bless u & Change Be With U.
Mr. Prevost you did not see any reason why Mr. Lennox Linton had to apologize for “rapist Ministers” statement, but you are quick to jump onthis one. No amount of public relations will absolve what was said twice.. It had to given the number of times and the intensity that goes with UWP plans to “get rid” of the government. So no amount of pontification about what a “good man Danny is for apologizing” will absolve him of his sins. He must do the honorable thing. His mindset, attitude and mental disposition to dealing with people who does not share his ideas is not required in Dominica. He represented his views and that of the UWP very well. I suppose his indirect call to “non-believers” to act has already been heard.
They trying to get the stupid ones to do their dirty work.
Birds of the feather flock together. Prevost so Lugay apologize for making the statement twice its seems that with you all nothing is wrong with the statement because he apologize. This is a messy situation. God please forgive them cause for they not know the damages that have been done.
What was the statement made? I didn’t hear it in his apology. So he apologized for what?
Why did you not type, Member of Parliament, UWP? Did your secretary/assistant type this for you?
Exalting the one who made a derogatory statement? Did you say you are sorry to hear that coming from Lugay? How apologetic is he?
repeated urself bro! You were and never will be eloquent not eeven when allowed to write and review poor you no wonder you are stepping down and giving it to an even more incompetent moreso pie. Degrees or not you guys just aint got it.
@ Mr Prevost, come on you know better than that, you and I know that this is a non genuine apology , Danny said it in a previous meeting ,he neither none of you realised it was wrong , he said again and it was still ok ,and I believe he would continue to say it, does it have to reach so far for some one to realise he did some thing wrong? Danny just opened up to ppl and let us know who he really is I think he was genuine by saying what’s on his mind, Team terrorist is what you all are.
Now thats a REAL man. Thank you Hon. Lugay for being the adult in the House Of Assembly.
Now I await apologies from Skerro, Reggie, Charlo, and others on the red team for all their insulting, threatening transgressions. BreezieMart is no more and people are out of jobs because of Charlo yet no apologies…I await earnestly! But be reminded that Change is on the way.
“I AM FOR CHANGE; ARE U?”
Assertive, NOT Agressive!
i do not support your party,but you prove yourself to be a humble man and keep it up..continue to set your goals and your plans for dominica and the future..lets stay forcus on issues..
The harm has been done. It cannot be undone with apologies and exaltations.
well done child of God. well done!
The others would never apologize because they are not Christ-like
you sound like a fool. Take out God in your comess! old hypocrite christian
He is lying, he can see the votes sliping out of his hands. I pray that God himself forgives him.
Boss I don’t see why you apologize you said what you have in your mind and heart, you did not only say it once you said it twice. Yesterday I never asked for you to apologize because I know that’s how you felt mark my words it will happen again.
This statement did not happen by accident, you know. That is the sentiment of the UWP people. That is what desperation does!!!
You are not too smart. Which is exactly how you felt, encouraging him in evil doing.
If he did not apologize you would have to accompany him as a crutch when he went before the police authorities and help him to pay a fine.
And now…this is the action of a real man.Hoping that everyone now think carefully of their words,the message ,possible impact and if/when you fail,be a real man to own up ,retract,state regret,apologize,ask forgiveness…and move on. A lesson for the season.
A real man as opposed to what? a fake man? I always wonder why people say “a real man.
Anyway, thumbs up to your statement. he did the honourable thing by apologizing. That is something to admire.
It takes a man to apologize. Unlike the people of the labour party when they make statements of this sort, the Prime Minister in particular does not do any damage control. He just sits back and do nothing. I just cant take the double standards.
free up de man after all, tings hard all around, he jus had to get it off his chest
This shows exactly what is in his chest.
more man than skerrit
