Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has accused two United Workers Party (UWP) members of seeking assistance from Government to pay lawyers for a legal matter.
Skerrit told a public meeting in Morne Rachette last night that UWP elected members for the Salisbury and Marigot constituencies Hector John and Edison James came to the “Red Clinic” last month “asking for assistance to pay their lawyers”.
“When they tell you that they cannot find Skerrit, they knew where the Red Clinic was last month, when they came to ask Skerrit to take money from the Treasury to give them to pay lawyers to contest the Speaker’s decision in the House of Assembly,” he said.
Skerrit said the two members were requesting $70,000 to pay a Trinidadian lawyer to “come right to Dominica to file some foolish case”.
“Why didn’t John come to tell me that the public convenience in Salisbury was bad and need fixing?” he asked.
However James has described the statement as “lies”.
“Roosevelt Skerrit is deliberately misrepresenting and lying about the matter. He talks about a public convenience and what he said here is fit for that public convenience. He is simply disgustingly misleading and lying to the people,” James, a former prime minister rebutted.
He said anyone who speaks to Prime Minister Skerrit, “whether it’s about their organization or personal matters” must be cautious.
@jahlive, redemption soon come: Your words are so true and timely. My prayer is that Dominicans will see the light by the next election and seek out those leaders with a backbone, equitable distribution of the country resources, respecting the people.
I honestly believe that with this new law the Prime Minister wealth should be investigated according to the salary he receives. The Prime Minister and his Cabinet should never accept montary gifts while in power. Investigate them
Thinking that the UWP is a force to reckon with is a delusion.
Ponder on managing the country’s finances for a sec, point out the differences between DLP and UWP. “Bobol, bobol, bobol and more bobol” all the same.
In the midst of all the tout pa toutism which was particularly pronounced under the UWP both parties managed to achieve some sound development projects but succeeded in one way or the other to drain the life and blood of the country confounding it to a state of confusion, wrecklessness and poverty.
Like members of the UWP did Skerritt has also lost track, pursuing his selfish, egotistic ambitions. This is a sad state of affairs for our beloved Dominica, and rather than fight for this party or the next, we need to Demand integrity from ALL the politicians. Otherwise, the very same independence we are fussing over, we may as well erase it from our minds and go back to being a colony so that we would have no choice but to operate according to the rules of slave master in order to do things properly and the right way.
“For those who joyously march in rank and file, have already earned my contempt, for they were given a large brain by accident, when a spinal chord would have sufficed”.
a lot of us are saying that the PM is lying and james and John are speaking the truth. while i will not judge, i just want to remind us of the bugging incident when it was proven the the bugging was a hoax created by Mr. James and co.
And if that were the case, why does Skeerit feel the need to share that with Dominicans, if not to smear the issue, more drama.
Skerrit exhibits no form of professionalism, and I am at times so ashamed that this is the man in power. He is impulsive and that is to his detriment, see all his cracks and flaws show through when he is implusve… time will tell. Dirty games…name calling…
Do you think I am swayed or impressed with this revealation, not at all!!!!!
I want to hear about what this government is doing for me, for my children, for my husband to get work, for my grandmother, that’s what i want to hear about… not this crap.
Instead of buying Dominicans trust and admiration through hard work, and good deeds, you are relying on tainting the opposition. Why, you say they don’t count, so why all the effort to smear them. Prove yourself , and ignore the UWP.
But that’s not possible, cause the truth is: TEH UWP does matter, and they are a formidable force to reckon with. You know the truth don’t you? And you are scared, so you have to resort to this….Smear campaigns, failed bids to embarrass them. I am still so uncertain as to WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS???????
Sometimes we need to set aside the politricking, and really come together on the table and do what is best for DOMINICA and ITS PEOPLE.
This is so anal, so childish, kind of what I would expect from my teenage kids. Not from a grown man leading a country and head of major organizations.
But i guess we do not know better…..Mr. James, don’t stoop to that “next level” please, you are already above and beyond such reproach.
based on this display of unnecessary attention seeking underhanded outcry, I don’t think our narrow minded Crime Minister can ever come together with any opposition or member who opposes him, in debate, or can he ever see eye to eye on any issue. if its not his idea, its no good, and that is the down fall of the country. If we all put Dominica first, then things would be different and we would then be able to put our political differences aside and agree on what’s best.
But that will never happen in Domincia, or the Craibbean for that matter, our politicians, red, blue, green, organge, purple, they are all too narrow minded, selfish, shortsighted, greedy boys.
Now back to the issue, This comment or issue, is not news worthy, and you Mr. PM really should focus on things like paying tuition for the college students of Good Hope who just got kicked out of school as the tuition you promised was not paid, you should be focused on creating jobs, changing the attitudes of your public servants who practically suck at customer service, you should be finding ways to get more educated and skilled Dominicans back home, getting more retirees to come to dominica, you should be finding long term solutions to protecting our invaluable resources, you should be talking about what you are doing to stomp on crime, you shoudl be coming clean with your assets, you shoudl be answering teh question swe have been asking, fix the health care, and never mind that they came to ask you for money ( if the ever did)
This is SO CHILDISH….. SPOIL BRAT SYNDROME.
Have respect Skerrit, You should start with the man in the mirror. You take it to the next level first.
Acquired RESPECT is not the same as GIVEN respect, and you have a long way to go before you can earn my respect and you have long loss the admiration I once had for you Skerrit. You have forgotten who you were and what you stood for, time to go back in time.
True wee, he looks old and drunk.
Oh, oh, how did the PM got so old quickly like that non ? He got sick or what?
its clear mr pm twisted things like he always does…my question is …if he twists that stuff so easily…wat makes it difficult for him to twist the truths about his ties with venesuela and china!?
ahhhhh! i cant sit n watch such stupidity!!!! its more than just goin to ‘the person you taking to court to ask that person for money to take THEM to court!!!!!’ its not an everyday ‘you have a problem with me how u can ask me for money for u to take me to court nuuuhh’!/ its a matter of the law n james n john formed the opposition. this means that just as they are entitled to pay once part of the parliament, they are also entitled to a certain percentage of money to settle their legal problems n other fundings that involves matters of the government. THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO ‘ASK FOR MONEY’ if u wish to say it that way….geezzz
The Right Honourable Skerritt is still Prime Minister of Dominica whether you guys like it or not, The Bible say to pray for your leaders and you guys still curse them, you guys are using a form of WITCH CRAFT that you know not about, Life and Death are in the power of thwe tongue. We have to move on stop the silly talk.
UWP and dlp HAVE dOMINICANS SOO DIVIDED AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT THESE ARE THE SAME GUYS HAVING DINNER AND COCKTAIL TOGETHER, WE ARE TOO FOOLISH TO BE ARGUING OVER POLITICS. DOMINICANS PLEASE GIVE IT A REST…. CHA MAN FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO.
It is not a shame that the prime minister stoop extremely low. He knows what his followers expect of him and he delivers. If his followers wanted more than (row-row) and propoganda he would not have said what he did. There was a survey made rating the characters of the leaders of various countries and Dominica Prime Minister rated very high and by reading the comments made I came to realize that a high percentage of Dominica cannot understand the english language therefore reflects the leveland quality of education in Dominica. Maybe he wants to keep it this way.
@Hmmmm:I SEE YOU JUST PLUCK OUT A PAGE FROM THE AMERICAN’S BOOK. DOMINICANS YOU ARE LOOSING YOUR IDENTIITY. STOP THAT DOUBLE
TONGUE. YOU CLAIM TO BE SO PROUD TO BE DOMINICANS YET ON THE OTHER HAND YOU ARE AMERICANIZING IN THOUGHTS, WORDS AND DEEDS. AMERICA IS THE LAST COUNTRY ON EARTH YOU WANT TO PATTERN YOUR LIFE AFTER.
prissy i hope i do not see u in usa delivering your baby
on my tax money? immigration look for her.
If we are not smart enough to analyze something, then we should say nothing. I cannot believe you people are perpetuating the nonsense going on in this country bty taking sides.
already our youth are in a tailspin, drug trade seems to be spiraling out of control, and you all choose to even dignify this silly pitty pat about they came or they didn’t …..this is just too unbelieve.
But then the blind shall lead the blind
It’s just a plain disgrace that the majority of the voting population of a country could give the mandate to govern to an inveterate and pathological liar.Money was given to Antigua and Anguilla, he said Bin Bobol money was recovered,a million other assets and property does not belong to him,at the same time, the mayhem in society continues its decline at an increasing rate.
He seem to be the only person in lovely Dominica who went to school and can analyse and extrapolate facts from fiction.Every other person is a … fool.He can’t stoop lower than that.THAT’S WHAT POWER CAN DOTO SOME PEOPLE.!!!!
@ Ric Ross: “How can you go to the government to request from them money to fight the very same government? …what is so effing hard to understand?” Ric, we understand. Here’s why, if you can figure this out. Why would you write to the Speaker of the House of Assembly, whom you do not recognize as being legitimate, to excuse you for being absent from a parliament you do not recognize as being legitimate, when you are out protesting against the very same parliament, Speaker and the government which elected the Speaker? Sounds complex. Isn’t it? No, it’s politics. It’s more than meets the eye, my brother. Refrain from the effing ’cause at the end of the day you will be stressed out and the politicians will be ok.
@Black Nobility: Are you tone deaf? How can you go to government to request from them money to fight the very same government in court…..what is so effing hard to understand. Why are you people so grounded in “chupidness”???
@Jus Saying: Do you know that Antigua and Anguilla folks that denied receiving monies from poor DA fell on the sword…wise up comrade, wise up
@Jus Saying: In case you didn’t Sout Man posting, her you go,,,Read , please read comrade…don’t let emotion come in your way, be very objective.
SOUT MAN POSTING:
Yesterday, some people commented that Dominica’s ambassador to the OAS sings for his supper. Any government appointment, project or assistance is described as a bribe or “red clinic”. The term “red clinic” has been generalized in such a demeaning and derogatory way by the opposition and their supporters, that no one feels comfortable associating with it. It’s like food stamps in the USA.
Even if “red clinic” is closed, I believe that the PM was using the generalized concept of seeking govt. assistance.The PM does not make public announcements whenever people come to the “RC” but that alleged case is special and unusual. These are the same people criticizing every legitimate govt. assistance as “red clinic” (RC).
Why do you have to be a “fool” or “idiot” or “gullible” to believe that Mr.John and Mr. James seek government assistance for their legal defense. They probably did. The PM used the term “red clinic” figuratively, but everyone is commenting like it’s used literally. Mr. John and Mr. James would have a legitimate reason to ask the govt. for funding. Their case involves a matter directly related to their offices as public servants. The Attorney General is paid from the public treasury and she represents all govt. officials. The opposition represents a large percentage of the population and they need to have legal support for legitimate matters related to their offices as public officials.
So it’s not difficult for me to understand why they probably approached the PM along these lines. They just didn’t anticipate the PM scoring cheap political points on the matter. So be careful when you stick your neck on the block for any politician. Both sides are politicking, but I have not seen any denial. The term “red clinic” only infuriates the UWP because they have made it derogatory like food stamp, welfare,trailer park, socialist, nigger. They even try to take the “N” word out of our vocabulary. It should not be used to insult others but we should always use it to describe that era of our history whether the perpetrators are embarrassed or not.
Hey little boy! Credibility has limits you know!How much more of your … & that of the main opposition are D/cans going to accept? Dominicans need to wake up. This .. is getting extremely serious to just pay lip service to all these atrocities being perpepuated by.. heads.
@RICK ROSS: R u certain that his statement is factual, were u there when these two individuals sought assistance…..please read and then think….honestly knowing the situation, knowing that this man once tried to say that Earl Williams told him so and so and then took it back and said Earl told him please say nothing….with such a track record you honestly think that Hector & James would go to him for help….Well jus saying they would be fools to go to Skirrit for help knowing he is not the kind to be discreet…..I support the labor party but this statment is a bit sketchy….and some statement he has made in the past is sketchy & we simply out of pure devotion not believe but rather accept & defend him….like helping out anguilla and antigua, which he has never came bk to us & try to explain, its like he was too high to do this, instead send his Reps to do damage control…..I voted for him because he is young & worth another shot but his vague statements, lets not be total fools by them….we all know they are sometimes 99% untrue……Jus Sayin
Skerrit is just a little boy..plain ans simple
I am very pleased at some of the comments i see my fellow people expressing. Its really a shame too see that an educated young man like dishonorable skerrit will make such a cheap statement too my people of coulibistrie salusbury and morne rachette you thing u can just buy our vote last min at least they showed you what they stand for and represent we cant be bought nor borrowed he really thought he could win them by painting a toilet hrgggggggg come on where were u when you won the elections you never even passed our way even you lost there ur interested could have at least been there if u had people before ur heart. i love my country to death but i dislike they way it is govern i dislike they amount of money my hard working people have to receive weekly and monthly. i hate the fact that after we all work so hard to learn at school so much money our parents sacrifice to see us wid an education to work and help them that we cannot even find a decent job.. we have to fly away and work hard to build another mans land and invest our sweat in there country when we should be in our own land. but guess what we have too eat the prime mister bread is butter on the poor tax payers money
SKERO If these men came to you for assistance, they came to you as citizens and you acting as the gov’t should assist them as such. NOT as a LABOUR BUT as the Government. You are really showing your immaturity. This is why i have no faith in the government and its leadership. NO confidentiality what so ever. call me lets discuss the future of Dominica 615-5346
@RICK ROSS:
the only people who shakes when Skerritt speaks are those in government, his puppets.
…And i am sure you know that very well.
After all, why should people be suprised at what the PM has said. Remember the elections when he said that DA was doing so well that we were now giving money to Antigua……..or was it some other Caribbean Island? I mean we all know that the man is noted for being a liar and is not today. Too bad some of the labourites are too blind that they can’t see that. What makes you all think that politics is going to change the man. Just look for that sly smile and dimples when he is lying. I guess those fake smiles is what brings lazy Dominicans to their knees.
The best response to this kind of gutter politics by the PM has already been given by Mr James.He is definitely the most pompous PM the caribbean has seen,and he feeds on the ignorance of the people.He keeps his supporters poor so therefore they will always crawl and grovel to him to buy bread.Therefore they are always enmeshed in his net..James should also tell him go and take care of a country he took in tact,but has fallen under his care into a state of moral,economical,social and even institutional crisis.More drugs,higher unemployment,agricultural decay,educational clumsiness.In the meantime he and his ministers are living like monarchs of all they survey.
Dominicsnd need to be alert and to be wise like the Salisbury and Marigot people.These people work hard,think independently,and cannot be easilu bought. I JOIN HANDS WITH MR JAMES IN TELLING YOU THAT THIS RUBBISH TYPE OF POLITICS BELONGS TO THE LATRINE HOLE NOT TO DOMINICANS AND DOMINICA..
I KNOW….JUS FOR A VOTE HE HAS TO SAY THAT???….DESPARATE PPLE REALLY DO DESPARATE THINGS….GOSHHHHH….
@RICK ROSS: Wasn’t it the same UWP who said all the most demeaning thing and outrageous thing about the public assistance programme. This programme is not meant to help politicians.
So Skerrit is right in calling out these guys about their hypocrisy.
He is called all kind of names on a daily basis and the moment he speaks, UWP shakes in their pants.
The proof is right here: He said anyone who speaks to Prime Minister Skerrit, “whether it’s about their organization or personal matters” must be cautious.
These are Edison James’ quote…why would he go seek financial assistance from the Government to fight the Government…and to pay a Trinidad Lawyer…What personal matter does Edison James need to talk to Skerrit about…why would Edison James discuss UWP Organization stuff with Skerrit?
Why is the UWP so dumb in understanding basic stuff.
@Sout Man: Sout Man:
I support your comments wholeheartedly. I am surprised that DNO published it.
Eh l’ ass, is that what the PM of Dominica has come to?
What next?
.. go around telling people is door is always open, feel free to come to me anything because am here to serve the people. The day you make the mistake and go to him, he figure sucker, I get you. That is what he uses to keep his ministers in check. He knows their every little need and weakness and he is like a volture waiting to spring into action. He is cunning as a foxs.
Run Dominicans run .. coming. Everything..said on that utube tape cusontinues to be true. You cannot trust… You think if .. had any backbone he would still be working with… Don’t look for him to contrest the election next year. After they fix their self them man running.
a what kind of thing is this is this a prime minister or a crime minister?
.. is a pathalogical liar and only time will tell.
When the leader of a country develops a reputation of being an enemy to the truth, that one cannot discern lies and truth, the country is in trouble.
.. is selling the country to the highest and lowest bidders.
The haitians are taking over agriculture and becoming owners of land, go to the Physical Planning Division and ask how many Haitians are applyiing for the construction of their homes.
The Chinese have taken over the commercial sector and they are now into construction.
The Venezuelans control the drug trade and cabinet.
White people are buying out our riverside land.
Meanwhile our youth are languishing with drugs, every day a new vagrant appears on the streets of Roseau.
So …has no choice but to lie and continue to play pied-piper, the fools will follow and self destruct.
Respect my friend is earned..not bought…This man has lost all the respect I had for him..this is just too low for a man of his caliber.
… paid for his tongue and has been branded a liar internationally and regionally . Locally he’s a joke and boy wid a toy … is just hanging behind him , look the fight for leadership is on . Ron perished , carib PM useless , Norris MIA , and Edo POW . More phsyc on them . Congrats to the two losers and more walk outs expected from them JA’s .
I think any objective non-partisan person will find the disclosure by the PM to be demeaning and beneath the office for which he holds.
I just feel this was childish and petty for a leader of an country. I mean let someone else from your from your staff or one of your deputies engage in this kind of tit for tat pettiness, but you as PM should hold and regard yourself to a higher standard and dignity.
MAN GO AND PARK UR SELF EH
why these people who cant pay there passage to come to dominica stay out of da and comment on every thing .if you ask them where da is loccated they cannot tell you .if the pm had say tax payers money would it be acceptable .the two men in question met with the pm and i sure it was not to talk about the state of the country in any aspect so saying the pm lie is astrng statement.and politicians has a tendency to bent the truth.on a campaign trail what you expect to hear ,how good mr james was as pm or you expect mr james to say how good a job the pm is doing.
@Cannot Stop Laughing: cannot stop laughing you are a dumb @@@ to beleave everyt thing skerrit say
that man is a child and he fork in lie he is a see see y now he coming with that coco bull story
HE LIE !!!!!!
Dominicans need to be ashamed of you PM.This is the lowest level this nonsense can reach.While it’s happening the country is collapsing. Go address the country on rapid decadence of all standards which constitutes a healthy country.It’s not all Dominicans that like this rubbish..You may well find yourself to one of these clinics one day.WHAT A SHAME!!!!!
Skerritt, you yourself said that the Red Clinic is for “all” of us Dominicans. I wonder which nationality Edison James and Hector John belong to? So appaerently your administrations seems to be bent on victimization if you refuse them the help that they come for. It’s good that you came out with this talk so that Dominicans can truly see how you think and what you are up to. Good luck to you!

You know what, that`s what we get. We are now reaping what we sowed and the result is this PM. Instead of taking the high road and letting the people know his government`s intentions for their community, he tries to dirty the names of two good men. And you know it`s an insecurity issue that he has. The PM knows that he can`t compete with the likes of Mr. Edison James on any level, so he has to stoop to what the domey nicans know, and that is meypwi. Why do you know that in the general elections last december he didn`t want that debate with the other party leaders, the man can`t debate anything in a respectful manner, he was afraid of us finding out that his level of intelligence was only in his smile. I feel sorry to see that this is THE NEXT LEVEL that they are taking us. Thinks we are fools, I am so disgusted at this right now.
Okay this shit is just childish on both sides…
alas papa bondaiii that is a prime minister no no no dominican need to open their eyess skerrit sah mahtiie eh!
@RICK ROSS: do you remember how many times you lie and theif? give Edison a break tac-tac .oh gad oh. you just on de man like a damn jingie jingie CHILLAX .
Why oh why are we going down this road?
This BOY has become a habitual LIAR!!! the Red clinic was for all Dominicans it was john and James tax money, they had a right to it , BOY grow up and start acting like a man , its just a blasted shame for a BOY who travel and engage professional people could be so CLASSLESS damn!!BOY come out of your bowman clothes and mind set GROW-UP,right now you are pushing it too far .
YOU ARE SUCH AN IDIOT IT’S NOT FUNNY.
well, well, well Skerrit takes the cake for been a pompus …. He is so arrogant that he feels whatever he says Dominica will just gubble it up. This man is on such a power trip that he feels he can do and say anything. He lies like there is not tomorrow. If skerrit say to you run, please walk. Dont ever trust what is coming from his mouth unless you can record him for evidence.
He places his minister in situtation where they have to agree with him for their super. The are a bunch of scared men afraid to push back because he will pull the rug from under their feet. He rules by instilling fear in his ministers…
He is getting so pompus that he will screw himself over. The situation in Dominica is presenting the perfect opportunity so all can see the real skerrit.
God is good all the time and is working this opportunity to open the eyes of all Dominicans.
@sweet as candy:
your comment is not relavant to any of the discussion that was here…..
BESIDES THE RED CLINIC HAS BEEN CLOSED SINCE AFTER ELECTION SO TE PM WA ALREADY LYING…..
Now that is where the PM will bring himself down. Truth is you can take the man out of the country but you cannot take the country out of the man. I don’t care how much Pm dresses up, no matter what he puts in his bank account, no matter what he is exposed to , he is going to remain a little country bookie acting the part. Pm must rise to the next level. This is nonsense now. Who cares about who came to Red Clinic? Tell me about how you plan on stimulating the economy, and fixing the backlog of trained teachers who cannot get jobs! tell me about the road project. PM you need to come better than that, you really acting childish. Take a page out of Obama’s Book. Now there is a CLASS ACT! hen again is Chavez school you are in. No kind of class, but Chavez is still an intelligent man. PM Please take time to read books on the profession, and up your skills.
Word of caution: Roseau Bourgeois are getting tired of you. Check yourself. You just may find yourself back in Veille Case the same little country bookie you left.Behanzin looks like he is waiting in the wings. Bourgeois for Bourgeois they would rally with him he is STILL A DOUGLAS
never me again. never me again ,this is not what i voted for , i bow my head in shame as i realise the truth ,that the pm just dont care about the dominica ,but has his own agenda
@Disgusted for ignorance and stupidity: How can someone respect a person who reduces himself to this level?
@sweet as candy: How can someone respect a person who reduces himself like this….
@sweet as candy: You must be an idiot to believe this gabbage..I think God needs to annoint you with a brain, or provide some money for you to get an education! Gosh…
well our PM not easy.
@Ron: OMG, I have never commented on this forum, but I am disgusted by this.I am not involved in politics, as I don’t even live in D/a, but I can’t believe there are people who actually believe this ridiculous claim made by the PM. If you are a Laborite, you should be quiet, and embrassed at this claim .This is an insult to D/cans, Skerrit thinks D/cans are so stupid, he doesn’t even need to make an effort to come up with a believable lie.Why would people believe this nonsense? Is Skerrit even smarter than a 1st grader?
give to ceasar what is due to ceasar and unto GOD what is due to him.HAVE
respect for the leader of our country whether u r against him or not.
@sweet as candy: @Concerned Dominican Abroad: oh please dont critic GOD’s anionted
@vacant: hahaha i enjoy laughing dem boyz
dominicans open ur eyes we are living in a small world that man is a foolish man
good is watching all of us! just remember if u live in glass house do not throw stones
lol eh beh, dat PM not easy…
@come on: When will the Dominican politicians do what they are elected to do instead of manipulating the people. There is so much work to be done in Dominica, is not to say those people don’t have work to do you know. No wonder the country so backward and tebeh cause the leadership is no different and i am talking about all of them not just one person or party.
A set of children in the sandbox.
It’s time you all grow the heck up.
@RICK ROSS: I was not saying they should go there for that purpose. I am simply saying that they can go there too because it is for all Dominicans. Don’t twist my words please.
@BD: That is why i refuse to believe that they went there in the first place. it just doesn’t add up. That makes no sense that they would go there and tell the PM what the money they are asking for is to pay a lawyer to represent them against him.
Who goes to their competitor to gain funds to beat them?
Think people that makes no sense..It’s not even a good lie
Psalm 57:4
I am in the midst of lions; I lie among ravenous beasts— men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
Psalm 64:8
He will turn their own tongues against them and bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
Sitting in relaxing and looking i know God keeps to his words, because somebody lying and he knows who
Just give Skerritt a little more time please, he will fall in his own trap soon from now, just wait and all you will see….Time my broda
i’m glad that Skerrit talk about dem because some of us believe is only de poor poeple dat going to the Red Clinic when de well to do going there even more than you and i.
Mr. James and Mr. john and the UWP in general have been critical of the Red Clinic Activities. They call them handouts. They claimed that the government is creating a nation of beggars. Why therefore should they request funding for what ever purpose? you are critizing something that you secretely want to benefit from. They should raise their own funds. Ask your support or learn to beg .
I support the Primeminister in exposing their hypocrisy!
Why would the UWP meet with Skerritt and not be transparent about it? Whatever the discussion was about, only the three know excatly what went down. After all, Edison did not deny having met with Skerritt.
And who say that part of the deal was not Skerritt smiling with his dimples saying,
“No problem man, all you know Alix already she like to play hard, I will give all you de money, but I will say at the meeting all you come Red Clinic eh.., ha ha ha he he he?”, with Edison and John responding, “Weh papa, hmmm. Boy you really making it hard for us eh, weh, kya kya kya, ay ay, boy you dat Skerritt not easy you know.. hahahahehehe”.
Bel Beff, Sot zon Domniche sot.
@Ridiculous: So you really believe Edison James. Remember he was convicted for fabricating lies about Mamo.
@Ridiculous:
I am with you here…Dominicans worshiped the ground that the PM walked on when he became prime minister. He fooled them all with his charms and his supposed good looks. … That is his MO.
Dominicans we have to beware of the man that was put in power to lead our beautiful country. To use the words of “spider” – we are going down slowly.
@Ridiculous: How could you take the PM to court and solicit the government help in paying your legal fees….are you just as dumb as Edie and Hector
@Ridiculous: i agree with you 100%. But dont criticise help for the help publicly and then go there quietly thinking people will not know. lmao
@ Dominican Taxes: Our country is paying a hell of a lot more for having.. in government. I am afraid of what my son will go though with all these bills we are accumulating and all this misappropriation of tax payers money.
That .. is a sick man. Why doesn’t he just get us proof from the French that he is not a citizen and half of this madness will go away. Don’t worry time will tell. God is watching!
@dominican texas: you know what they think that when we elected them we did so that they can become celebrities and be elevated to God status. They better think again cause there is work to be done. Those days of treating them like celebrities are over. it’s time our representatives become more approachable. When i saw Skerrit doing so I was impressed but then I saw all the lies and decipt and I lost all respect for the man.
@Anonymous: Anonymous the “Red Clinic” is for people that need help. Like if you or one of your family member has to go overseas to do a surgery and you cannot afford it you go to the clinic or you need assistance in sending your child to school you go to the clinic but don’t tell me you need money to take me to court and i have to pay for it get real.
Dominicans, please read the emperor’s new clothes
You know what scares and shames me? Some of the commentators believe the prime minister. We are treading on dangerous grounds. I really need a new passport.
@Sharon:
@RICK ROSS:..has nothing to come to the people of salisbury with, he know they will not accept his bribery, which is his only strength, to prey on the wicknesses of people by keeping them in a constant state on begging so that his minister can turn around and call them lazy, but salibury people smart and independentt and tonight they will give ..what that coming for him again. This time Harder. Not for Borrow, not for Rent and Definately not for Sale. And by the way he forget he said that the red clinic is closed till the next 4years.
@Pat: Pat it would not be the first time Edison ask for money to pay his bills remember he did it a first time when Miss Charles took him to court and people like you donated money to help him pay it so what happen he cannot ask Skerrit for money?
i believe eddison james was at the red clinic. i cote from dominica news online “He said anyone who speaks to Prime Minister Skerrit, “whether it’s about their organization or personal matters” must be cautious.” that says he had some talk with pm. record him next time pm
If someone goes to the Prime Minister (no matter who it is and what they ask for) that should be kept confidential.
This is making me think that the Prime Minister cannot be trusted with peoples personal matters.
It outrages me to think that if I go to the red clinic that what i say in there is not confidential.
Besides how could those ministers be so foolish to go to the red clinic knowing that such a thing could happen. You know what take what allu get.
@political correctness: it goes both ways hope Edison is not lying as well
@IS: I think there is some truth to the statement. Just see the person they have for their lawyer. That speaks volume. They broke and can’t pay the others and so their services are not available – Dyer and the like.
@dominican texas: and they cleanup should first be done from within, who is creating all that problem, First you solve the problem, the pm knows what the problem is, it has been for almost 10years. what is the point of being a a class when your voice cannot be heard, the teacher has her bias preferences and you just waiting your time, Time is money don’t your know that.
@The Patriot: I***a***N told us, he talking good to you and as you turn your back he on your case, I don’t think they went to his red clinic, what they did is try and get him to realise that what the speaker was doing is wrong and that it should be at thier expense if they go ahead with it. What he need to do is get rid of this ..woman who has cripled the parliamentary system.
I said in a previous comment that the tax payers will pay for the uwp boycot and no one was paying attention, simply because the elected officials refused to attend parliament, the goverment should send them a bill for the expense, because in my view if any other party member refuse to attend the business of the people, the constitution should be amended to punish that individual in a punitive way because of the cost to tax payers. People decides to sit out and then ask for money to pay for the expenses.
Disgusted you’re really disgusting – hater!!!
That’s just it King Ghetto – but I’m sure the cameras were rolling. Telling poor people not to go to the Red Clinic – but they going. They think we foolish to live all for them?
Long live the “little boy” with the WARM HEART.
God is needed there where sin dwells grace much more abound. God is needed.
If what the PM is saying is not true. I think the accused should come out and deny it. If there is truth to it the question will be who really can be trusted? This is really unfortunate however but life must go on. Get over it and come together to do something positive for the country.
My question is: Are they so stupid to come to you my PM to ask for money to pay a lawyer to take you to court? Politics in this country disgusts me!!! All I am interested in right now is the budget!!! Please don’t distract me!!!
It looks like lying is no big deal for.. now, well again he thinks Dominicans have no brains, he can fool them as he likes………
Hmmm…. well ..you desperate…. My God….. thats the level you stooping to?
PM YOU NEED PLENTY HELP……YOU NEED TO GROW UP……YOU SOUND LIKE WHEN LITTLE KAWAT BY DE ROAD GIVING MAYPWI….
THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE FOR A LEADER????
you ..cannot be trusted u r a vindictive, untrustworthy leader who loves revenge but always remember the good book which u love to refer to says”vengeance is mine says the Lord”. Be careful u are not indispensable.
Please Mr. PM do you job and stop being a boy it shocks me that is what dominicans voted a “boy”, u will stoop very low to achieve absolute power. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME. Look out there to see how much or young persons and single parents and the unemployed with subjects are suffering. Stop this childish game and go take care of the pile of files on ur desk.
Disgusted i could not agree with u more….these grown men acting like kidds playing dolly house and we all know that they are all the same……trying to devide and rule by fooling the people. This is not what we want to hear the pm talking about. Talk about addressing the real issues in the country like unemployment so people like me can come home to work and give other people their country.
u know mr prime minister one should be very careful about seeking assistance from u personally or the so called “red clinic”. You are a very vindictive, untrustworthy, callous, pompus person, please look at the bigger picture in Dominica think outside the box and walk on the ground of those who are in despair, and do what u were elected to do. U already have total power what else do u want remember the Lord is the One who sets up and breaks down governments. Peace
@king ghetto: THe thing is they have not denied going there to my utter surprise
..you never cease to amaze me. Your imagination is one for the books. Come on, we can see straight through this one. If you want to win these two seats do address the issues that matter most to the people of the constituencies in question. You like beff and roro. Your favourite past time. Have some decency man. You have a country to run stop coming up with all those crap. And if these two men came to your RED CLINIC and you turn around and talk about it, then it’s really true what… said about you. You like to talk behind people back. Your are just being your old self again.
Grow up. Be a leader. I am really tired of this type of politics. Really I am.
4 real……how low will.. really go? he give us alot of lies already; but he really expect us to believe that?
Well well well. I must say. Now you think all of us Retarded.
Make sure you take their pic next time they come to beg.
Lizard and Zandoli of Marigot and Bawi, did you or did you not got to the Red Clinic for assistance?
People you all need to fear Edison James and Hector John is juggling right along.
I like the response from Mr James. I think that the country has a million other pertinent issues to talk about than that nonsense.Unemployment and drug abuse for example..Good reply Mr James.
mama!
eh ben me twaka!
So Eddie expect Dominicans to believe him in his desperation? How can you critized the DLP government, take them to court and expect them to pay your laywer fbill. This is just another indictaion that Eddie has lost his mind and poor Spaggs is just following him like a fool. What a shame!
My gosh, how low will the PM go.
This is totally uncalled for.
Mr.Skerritt, that is a new low. I refuse to refer to you as honourable in that forum.
