Dominican courts are independent; country enjoys many freedoms – Prime Minister Skerrit

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has said that Dominican courts are free and independent and urges anyone whose rights have been infringed to seek redress there.

Skerrit made that comment at the  10th inauguration ceremony of the Roseau City Council at the Arawak House of Culture last night.

“Any citizen can go to the court and put forward a case against anybody who has infringed or trampled on his fundamental rights and the courts in Dominica are totally independent of the executive, the courts perform their functions and these are the things that we have to stand for as Dominicans,” he said.

“We must never give people the impression that the courts are not independent and they are not acting out of their own independence cause this thing is alive and well in Dominica. Where the courts decide on the merits of a case and determine what it has to do next,” he stated.

He added, “Even the prime minister who was brought to court through a petition. Lets go to the court; if you have additional evidence to prove your case then take it to the court, let the court decide and move the process forward. We cannot try to go around the system and try to achieve an end besides going through the legal process …”

The prime minister is convinced that Dominica enjoys the most freedoms in the western hemisphere.

“I am not aware of any country in the western hemisphere that is more free than Dominica, that people can go on a radio program and say what they want about anybody in this country with impunity. That people can demonstrate without seeking the proper permission to demonstrate and nobody gets arrested. Not even in America you can do that, you will get arrested if you go in Washington DC without having the permission to demonstrate,” he said.

“People are free to congregate and to gather and to associate in Dominica. There’s freedom of religion as a matter of fact over the last eleven years we’ve seen more churches coming up in Dominica because people are free to worship in Dominica,” he further stated.

    We don’t need a politician to give us the impression that somehow we are privileged and in paerticular it is offensive to hear this coming from someone who is on public record sating that “Dominicans are too free!” and tell the citizens to “go to hell!”. We are free by right and not because of someone’s projected generosity. Our constitution says so!

The man is doing what should have been done in this country for yrs……….Stop already and let the man do his work that we elected him to do.

    @KARKABEF I agree with you 1 000 000 000%..Dominicans should Skerrit (a French man,an illegal Prime Minister) be addressing any function on island? This monster that some of you all people (including some overseas Dominicans)have created has done enough harm to this country and we all must show him in no uncertain terms that he has done enough.He has lined his pockets,he has killed agriculture,he has villas,he attempted to evade paying land taxes,he has told us to go to hell,he has foreigh crooks as his friends,he does not bother about creating employment for the youths,he colluded with Savaren to call for the boycotting of a legal business on island,he disregards the constitution,he is terrorising the population with his special Toton Macout,he has told us that we are to free,he lies,he cheats,he is arrogant,,,,,,,,,…….THIS IS THE WORST PM DOMINICA HAS EVEN SEEN AND MAYBE WILL EVER SEE……HE NEEDS TO GO….I WILL BE IN THE PEOPLES GATHERING ON FRIDAY….

    I honestly lack confidence in our PM. When he speaks, it lands on deaf ear to me cause of that French citizenship issue…He blatantly lied and said that he had his French citizen since he was small not on his own will….And reliable source revealed that he obtained French citizenship some 8 years ago. Such a clear lie cause me not to believe anything the PM says. Now he is trying to smoothen things up yet again for his ill actions of bring 20 Armed law officers at the court to protect his attorney. Nonsense. the PM thinks the law is his. He is not above the law. The law governs the country and leaders are governed by these laws ( The Constitution). hence he should not and cant be above the law. LET THE LAW PREVAIL.

    HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT THE COURTS ARE FREE HERE WHEN YOU SEND MORE THAN 20 POLICE OFFICERS TO PREVENT THE PROSECUTOR FROM ARRESTING YOUR FRIEND??

    IT IS CLEAR THAT YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE COMPLICITIES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM. THE PART ABOUT ANYONE HAVING THE RIGHT TO FILE A CASE AGAINST ANOTHER PERSON IS TRUE, BUT WHERE IT GOES FROM THERE IS CLEARLY IN THE HANDS OF POLITICIANS.

    AND THE THING IS! THE POLICE MEN WHO HAVE INTEGRITY HAVE VERY LITTLE SUPPORT IN THERE TO TO ACT AS IN A MANNER TO JUSTIFY THEIR PAY.

    I JUST WANT TO TELL SKERRITT THAT HE IS NOT TO BE CREDITED FOR A SYSTEM OF FREEDOM THAT HAS BEEN PART OF OUT CONSTITUTION SINCE 1978. EVEN IF YOU ARE DISREGARDING THE ELECTORIAL LAWS AND DOMINICANS ARE TOO WEAK TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, FREEDOM IS OUR WAY OF LIFE.

    BY THE WAY?? HOW COME DBS RADIO DOES NOT ANNOUNCE ANYTHING ABOUT ALL THE ALLEGATION SUROUNDING SKERRITT?? ARE THEY PROTECTING HIM IN CERTAIN THINGS. ???

    I THINK THEY SHOULD REPORT ALL THE EVENTS THAT ARE MAKING NEWS AND CLAIMED THAT THEY ARE ALLEGATIONS UNTIL PROVEN TO BE THE CASE. DBS NEEDS TO REGAIN ITS CREDIBILITY AS THE NATION’S STATION AND NOT THAT OF DLP.

    SO MANY THINGS GOING ON AND WE ARE NOT HEARING ANY OF THEM ON DBS 13:15 TOTAL NEWS CAST.

    Mr. Skerrit (not PM –he has forfeited that title in my opinion) your days are numbered—if our courts are not compromised and most seem to believe that they are….then you will need the courts to be lenient on you. Please listen to your real friends- not the ones you have because you attained high office- and resign immediately. You have disgraced yourself and our country. Your arrogance has gotten the better of you Roosevelt. Please don’t put our country in that mess— Also please tell your young policemen- Not to fire on Dominican citizens because your days are numbered and there will be no one to protect them. Do it because you love DA and you want the best for our country—-now you are free to go—to Caracus, Beijing or Morocco—Please exit now becuse you have been cornered—you are nothing but a Liar.

    DOMINICANS HAVE THE FREEDOM TO SAY WHATEVER THEY WANT BUT IT DOEST APPEAR THAT SKERRIT HAS THAT SAME FREEDOM I SAY THAT BECAUSE SINCE SATURDAY NEWSONLINE AND RADIO STATIONS HAVE BEEN COMMENTING ON THE DOCUMENTS CONCERNING HIS NATIONAL FRENCH CITIZENSHIP, HE SAID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT IT AT THE RTC CEREMONY YESTERDAY.WHY DIDNT HE DEFEND HIMSELF,WE MUST COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE DOCUMENTS PRODUCED BY LENNOX LINTON IS REAL.

    People …. What has PM Skerrit done to you all….. He is your Prime Minister! You don’t have to always support him … But my dear people respect the position. I have seen comments that do not agree with him and the comments are not degrading. My My Father help our people who are hating and hating and walking on a bomb. When you carry hate it is only yourself you hurting. The man just have to say something and you all just catapulting nastiness and badmouthing at the man. Alas Alas would you like that for yourself or your family? Father give this man and his family courage and strength. Maybe Lord this is your way of gettiing them strong. My heart bleeds for the familyand the PM. I always say that the next PM could be in any house anywhere – in the Ghetto, in the rich man house, yes anywhere. Question to those who ridicule and spread rumours etc without any facts. Would you have liked this for your son, daughter, family member or yourself? Do you know what this is doing? Deterring young genuine persons from coming forward to serve their country.

    Being unpatriotic is high treason. Stop this nonesense. Time to grow up. STop this nonesense in our dear land. The land of our Heavenly Father.

      People like you are the dream of tyrants, without people like you, they could not exist, they srtive on the ignaorance of people like you.. If there is somebody detering young people and giving them bad examples it is Skeritt, nobody with any values or priniples would serve under Skeritt… You people have created a monster in Dominica.. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Sometimes I think because of the ignorance you people should be forgiven, but the arrogance that comes with the ignorance is unbelievable.

        The people of dominica spoke, all you lose the election, go and sleep under a stone. even if skerrit resign we will still have a Labour government. Unwanted peoples party.
        All u steal from insurance from government from everywhere and run from Dominica, so all you know what all you think, but Skerrit is there to stay for he is ordained as David was ordained.
        We the people of Dominica forgive him, we are french descendants too so we not vex he is french also. At least he not American that hate black people.

        The guard I comend you. Stop criticicisng and put yourself up for election. Too much talk and all negative at that. You are all obsessed with PM Skerrit. I was only saying that one needs to respect positions and if you call me ignorant then so it be.

        If I am asking people to criticise objectively and I am ignorant so be it.

        If i am asking persons to observe the golden rule – Treat others as you would like to be treated and I am ignorant so be it.

        If I say that the next PM could be your son/daughter and you would not like him/her to be subjected to that kind of treatment from persons like yourself who call people all sorts of names, then so be it.

        If I say that we are not always perfect , only the Creator is and we are all liable to make mistakes and you call me ignorant so be it.

        If I follow the Lord’s instructions to pray fo rmy leaders both in and out of power and you call me ignorant so be it.

        If I say that we are sending out a wrong message to our young and patriot persons who would be willing to serve their “beautiful” country” and you say I am ignorant so be it.

        A question for you .. Is it only PM Skerritt according to you who is deterring young persons? Do you encourage or discourage in your comments? I have read articles of persons who do not support the PM but they do so with respect and point out why they do not agree and give alternatives yes give alternatives.

        Mr guard do something positive for Dominica in your community or wherever you are. There are a lot of things that one can do here. Do not leave everything for the Government of the day to do. Since you are a guard , you must have seen something positive that can be done to help probably our Elderly, youths or some thing to enhance the well being of someone.

        If you still think I am still ignorant, then look for another synonym to describe me and call me all sorts of name you want to and I can take over from the PM right now. Do you know why … The same man who died for our sins was criticised so much and mistreated by the same persons he died for. Even now we are still being ungrateful to our Creator. Yes we are. So now I rest my case
        call me what you want , I won;t never retaliate and join the bandwagon of being disrespectful and not respecting authority.

        The pit we dig for our brother , most times we fall in.

        Blessings to you.

          I was responding to the person who spoke about who steal here, there and everywhere, my response had nothing to do with you.. I have and will continue to do whatever I can for my country PRO BONO!! Which means at no cost.. How do you know about what I have or have do, ot do or have not done for my country, one does not have to be in an elected ioffice to serve their country..

          I am not obsessed with Skeritt, I am disgusted with him.. I am outraged about where he is taking my country.. I think it is some sort of ignorance though to think or to suggest that dissent is unpatriotic or negative,, Should people have respected Hiltler because he was the leader of Germany? I don’t have have to respect anybody who I know clearly does not deserve my respect. Respect is eraned it cannot be demanded, and I don’t care office the person holds illegitimately!!

          These people were elcted to run the country, why should they get a badge for everything they do? They are performing their duty. Do you get a bad everday you perform your work at whatever place you work? I don’t think so.. Yes ignorance is rampant in Dominica, I make no apologies for saying it. But my response was not directed at you. It was directed at the person who suggested that the guard stole money all over Dominica and run to America and they cannot see the KING of thieves leading their country!! Yes they disgust me!

    Off course we are too free in Dominica, that’s why Skeritt can tell us “It’s none of your damm business, go to hell!”; that’s why Skeritt can tell us “No constitution and no law is above him”; that’s why Skeritt can send his SSU to public proceedings with no questions asked; that’s why so many immoral and illegal things are taking place in this country.

    this illgeal PM has brought a massive shame on Dominica…

    sadly the Dominica Labour Party and All Churches in Dominica are upholding this illegal Behaviour

    Once this current Labour Party stay in office is curse spell will always be over the island nothing will be successful…will continue to have divisions deeply..because evil doings are too bold in your face here…..best practice is that the citizens take control of their constitution as they agencies are all corrupted so before this islands sinks….citizens should be bold enough to take control

    Mr PM are you just loosing it now or you are just joking? You mean sir that you had the gutts to open your mouth and talk about the freedom we have in Dominica and even compare our freedom and court to that of the USA? I can understand why sir because ONLY in DOMINICA you would still be the sitting PM. That’s what you needed to say because in any other country you would have been in jail for life and all your assets would return to the state. Only you enjoying such FREEDOM sir, because you can do what you want and the court will do you nothing. So I can understand why you can boast of freedom of speech and religion. DPP should be so ashamed of you and your statement because if anythig, you have exposed them.

    Dominica is free… no matter how many of you all disagree and hate Skerritt his words are true … take matters to court!

    At the end of the day… no matter how much all you hate the man… you all need to stop being blinded by that hatred…

    Only in Dominica that there is such a thing as 100% freedom of expression, only in Dominica people are 100% “free to congregate and to gather and to associate”

    Dominicans complain so much YET they have so many things sweeter than a lot of other places.

    People with all have rights …however, all these rights which we have…need to be justified within a free and democratic country…

    So enjoy that freedom of expression where you guys have no fear to say whatever, can do whatever…. because at the end of the day… people in Dominica get away with too many things… and the mentally that everyone owes you something only functions in Dominica.

    In the real world… you fight and scrunt for yourself….because nothing is REALLY FREE!!!!!!!!!!

    So if you don’t like Skerritt or whatver he is doing… SUE THE GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!!! this is being done on a regular basis all over the world.

    I work in the legal field and my job consist of everyday struggles against the government – yes people, we SUE THE GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!

    If you do not like what they are doing…as long as you can prove it and show that it is against the best interest of the greater public – sue them…that is where HUMAN RIGHTS come in … we are all entitled to equality under the law, and the govt is not above being sued…

    What a man! Wont be long before the UN, the US State Department and all relevant global institutions know about the blatant violations you’ve committed against the Dominica Constitution. Sir, you are not worthy in any capacity to consider yourself anything but an unscrupulous snollygoster. You are a disgrace to your constituency, and they should be ashamed for having elected you as their representative. Needless to say that it speaks volumes of who they are, for their belief in you as a son of the soil. We the civic-minded citizens of our beloved land, no longer consider you as our leader. Your name has now been etched on the pillars as one of the most corrupt leaders in modern day Caribbean politics. Yes, you may have accomplished a great deal for the country. But in the process, your behavior, the constant lies, the arrogance and the thievery that you’ve institutionalized in your administration will be the lagacy of your illegal terms in office. And for all those who continue to support you and your partners in crime will have to answer for the decisions they make. May the good Lord Bless our people and our beautiful island.

    You should be happy sir that some of us are still practicing democracy in our country. Sometimes I would swear and say that, you are the president of Iran or Venezuela. SIR we are just exercising our democratic rights. We are not too free. We are law abiding. It is our constitutional rights we are demonstrating.

    However, if we are wrong, take us to court. It is also part of the constitution.

    I DARE YOU! lol!

    p.s. (you are only ‘not free’ when u break the laws of the land) now tell me who resembles that remark?
    YOU SIR! We have patience sir, we should be telling you, that, ‘you Sir, you are too free and you are streaching it now!’

      Bring out facts yout man. You say you are a yout in one of your previous comments. Are your continuing in this vilification and rumour spreading or are you as a yout going to change the politics? I don’t listen to talk shows and people by the wayside talking and talking. These forums are meant to spew hegatives and negatives and build hatred especially on the minds of our young persons. Do not fall in that trap. Read, read, read MSN, BBC and all the other articles – positive on DNO as well. When persons say things they should produce facts, documents etc. There are a lot of other articles on DNO as well – Alive Word etc and also listen to the World news and look at the news on the TV and internet and you will see that in our lovely Dominica, we take a lot for granted. Yes the PM is right when he says that we have a free speech here. The kind of negatives that persons spew at each other without proof and just saying negative, if they were in another country , they would be sued and others would take example. Just calling persons – thieves, liars etc is uncalled for in our land. good report don’t spread like the nasty and negative ones.

      Yout man respect the positions of those who are in authority whether they be blue, red , green, yellow , white. You never know when you yout man will be thrusted in some position. Would you not want others to respect you? Who knows you could be the next parl rep, manager, Opposition Leader, PM – you name it. We are all equal in the eyes of our Father. Some have greater gifts than others which he has given to us to help the masses.

      Love my pardner yout man.

    Anything which comes from your mouth is a blatent lie..Your lies have disgraced you as a leader and as i will continue to say,i am hoping that our young people don not revere you as their role mode.Dominica is quickly becoming a dictatorship.Corruption is rampant,the judicial system is a sham,ministers of government are only concerned about their pockets,the police are being used as a tool to propogate fear and to terrorize the people and the list goes on and on.
    YOu need to tell us mr PM when did you obtain your French citizenship..YOur diversancy tactic will not work..You nave smeared the office of the pm, and you need to do the honourable thing and resign.

    Well Well Well The PM cannot saying anything unless his enemies continue to lambase him. You all are behaving like how the UWP behaving, opposing everything the government does or say even if they will benefit Dominica. You all seemed to forget that God sits above and sees everything. If he wanted UWP in office they would have won. Instead there voting base have diminished and the infighting they have in with themselves. Its clear they have hit the self-destruct button. Please support your PM when he does well and yes rip him when he does the opposite. But dont bark on everything he does. UWP should do a entire house clean and then they could be first a effective opposition readying themselves for Government again, whether thats in the next milienum so shall it be. Oh get prepared for Labour to sweep the board next election, and yes that means in Marigot too…..

    You’re so right mr. pm, this country is too free…. that’s why u its so free to do what u want with the public purse, that’s why its so free so can denounce your french passport and no one should say a damn, that’s why its so free to say “no law, no constitution………”, that’s why its so free to have a million dollars villas on this poor people back and that’s why its so free to say “ITS NOT YOUR DAMN BUSINESS, GO TO HELL”.
