Danny Lugay questions appointment of Edward Registe to coordinate Week of Agriculture

Registe

Newly appointed Opposition Senator Danny Lugay is questioning the appointment of a political member of the Dominica Labour Party to coordinate a major agricultural event in Dominica.

General Secretary of the Dominica Labor Party Edward Registe was appointed the Coordinator of the 10th Caribbean Week of Agriculture in Dominica which concluded recently.

“Last week there was the Caribbean week of Agriculture and you could tell that farmers, by their very tone, had a lot of anger. The first slap in the face was having a known political operative of the DLP in the name of Edward Registe to coordinate the event,” he said.

He said trained technicians and several other capable persons in the sector were sidelined.

“The Director of Agriculture was sidelined, the Division of Agriculture was side lined and the trained technician was sidelined. Now wonder at the end of the Caribbean Week of Agriculture there were no meaningful objectives achieved,” he said.

    WE ALL WORKED AS A TEAM UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF ED AND WE DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB OFF IT.

    AM NOT SURE WHAT PLANET DANNY BOY WAS ON BUT IT’S TIME TO GET BACK TO EARTH.

    ALL MY FARMERS IN MY AREA WERE VERY MUCH IMPRESSED WITH THE FARMERS FORUM AND OTHER ACTIVITIES. DANNY BOY COULD YOU DISCLOSE THE SOURCE OF YOUR INFORMATION? IF YOU DON’T HAVE ANY THING TO SAY JUST KEEP QUIET.

    well Dany is really on the upswing. So far he has doena much beter job than the person who nominated him to be Senator. let truth be told. Danny must realize that he is not on Lindo Park being himself and behaving like the baddest man as he is want to do when growing up. He must talk sense and stop behaving as though he only arrived in Dominica this week. He has been around for a longtime and know the plitics. What was Mike Wallace’s qualification to be Dominica’s ambassador to the US when he was appointed? What qualifications did Angelo Allen have when he was appointed News Editor at DBS Radio over the other superlatively more qualified staff at DBS Radio? The list can go on and on Danny. When you point fingers at people be careful you have more coming back in your direction.

    Mr. Lugay please get your story straight, find out about people background before you make your comment.

    Mr. Registe is a well qualified Agriculturist, He worked in the Agriculture sector for 12 years, Mr. Registe, trained alot of people in the Agriculture Sector.

    Mr. Registe hold a degree in Agriculture and Management.

    He was the best person for the job, So next time you all want to put a comment outside find out first.

    The Agricultural week was well exhibited, he did a very good job and the famers were indeed happy. I had the opportunity to attend some of the fuctions and they were well received by all who attend.

    Congratulations Mr. Registe.

      Yes Danny, show them you beat all those others in controversy. Make your mark, what you heading for – leader? Well is not so nuh? The controversy will be against you, so you better pull your brakes, doh try to impress nobody with your foolishness!

    • October 28, 2011

      If he was a well trained agriculturist, why was he reading nes at DBS for so many years? Just asking. If he is a well trained agriculturist what made him her news reporter? So by the same token he was not qualified to be a journalist then?

      • October 28, 2011

        That should have been reading news at DBS

    You worked with DBMC for many years and couldn’t save yourself, far less for the inductry instead you were waiting to come in Parliament and take your oath so that you could receive a salary. Danny stop making a fool of yourself. But Ed, a very versatile man who worked as an Agricultural Extension Officer for about twenty years and who can has great organizational skills can’t head the Week of Agriculture”? Get a life Danny!

    A man heading the number on industry?That’s why the agriculture is going through this curse.The farmers and those who were involved in exibiting their produce were very disappointed with the event.Ed Registe and his abominable government did not even allow the foreign delegates to visit the boothes,they were taken straight to Fort Young Hotel in a coctail.y,the farmers benefitted nothing.

    Ed Registe is an energetic, hard-working, dedicated individual with considerable organizational skills. His appointment to coordinate the Caribbean Week of Agriculture was certainly based on merit and the week was a tremendous success!

    The real question is who the hell is Danny Lugay to question anyone’s skills and abilities – since he has none!

      You are simply a fool.This is the level of crass ignorance that is pervading through your smoked head.I fully well agree with Mr Lugay.This man should be doing his dirty politics somewhere and give way for serious people to address the agriculture issue on the island.

        @????? YOu mongrel!! you have no right to call people a fool… i’ll just simply call you a brainwashed idiot!! What dirty politics?? Who said bringing someone who works for a political organization has anything to do with their credibility? SHUT YOUR FACE, SHUT YOUR TRAP, SHUT YOUR DAMN BEAK! You too impossible to post such a comment! JEALOUSY THAT DOING YOU THAT, I bet is probably because you are one few people who would be expected to be on the frontline ahead of the organization of such an event. WELL THEY DIDNT CHOOSE YOU! SIT DOWN AND SCOTCH TAPE YOUR MOUTH! all you too kopawezon in this Place!!! Ed REGISTE is by far a hard working individual who seeks to do positive things forward. He is very energetic and he shows that he has the motive to bring things to fruition! YOU TOO TEBEH!

    Well this is telling and glaring evidence that these gang has agriculture in a casket waiting to be buried.A lazy labour party operative, who does not believe in truth was appointed coordinator. A BLATENT INSULT TO THE TECHNOCRATS IN THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE ON ISLAND,and another piece of incompetence by lazy men at the helm of a failed state called Dominica.
