The Parliamentary Representative for St Joseph Constituency, Kelver Darroux, has warned his community about political division.
Darroux said despite the fact that he received the least number of votes in the Layou community, the needs of the people are being attended to.
“Too many times we allow politics to divide us and separate us. Here in Layou I receive the least amounts of votes and I did not turn my back on the people there. I made a deliberate decision to ensure that I invested in the education of the students from that community,” he said.
Darroux said he wants to ensure that the fabric of the community receives a proper education, which according to him is the backbone of turning one’s life around.
“This is the action of an MP who is concerned about the community and wants to see the young people improve their lives. This is a practical example. Many people will come to you and say things to you, but when it comes to getting things done they cannot be seen,” he lamented.
Three students from the St Joseph constituency received assistance from the Titiwi Education scholarship program this year.
Nichol Paul, Asher Augustus and Chris Bully received a cash donation from Darroux on Thursday.
The monies are expected to go towards the purchase of books and uniform for the entire academic year.
Oh Dear! Is this young MP changing from labour to something else? His is the very party that promotes division and all kinds of silly politics in Dominica. These folks who call themselves politicians in Dominica are just riding on the ignorance of the people, hence being able to stand up anywhere and brainwash Dominicans. Dominica is like going no where because of the division and all kinds of foolishness that is being displayed in every sphere of the society… Just listen to those so called politicians when its election time… its like a showdown of ragging men and women who would do anything to win a sit… Hardly do they deal with issues but its all about division and comess and mapweeeee! when elcetion is over they go back to church and so forth…. Its amazing how they begin with prayer den end up on the other side of the fence if you know what i mean! Silly season is drawing nigh no wonder so much old talk… Politicians must lead by example both in conduct and leadership. They must be shining examples to the young, knowing that they are being watched.. To much bad conduct in and out of the house of assembly… Politicians must learn to speak the truthhhhhhhhhhhh…..
Mr Darroux, Sultan is part of your constituency. When do you intend to make a deliberate decision to include Sultan in your agenda?
To the commentators
Talk is cheap!
The truth is gene femme StJoe tot LAZY sans ambition, take a good look at St Joe and you will see what I mean. They always by road in beff show minding ppl business and you blame PR. No,no,no get work to do. If I was from St Joe I would use my hands to work like paté coco, tablets, castor oïl,cakes,coconut oïl, coconut cheeze and a lot more. Our problem in Dominica is WE LIKE TO WAIT ON GOVERMENT FOR WORK AND FREENEICE, THATS WHY WE WILL STAY BEHIND IN THIS COUNTRY UP ON YR FEET GO AND WORK FOR YR LIVING. BYE
They remove Ronie page already??
There’s something about Mr. Darroux that just causes me not to take him too seriously.
All labour party is good at doing is buying people The people should let them know that they are not for sale I thought mr darroux was out of states All of assuden eh beh way papa
Mr Kelvar You are certainly in the wrong camp and whoever got you there, my grandmother would say that is “abuse”. Your government has been accused as corrupt and engaged in corrupt practices, do you have a voice to tell us in St. Joseph and Mero about this. Is this not accountability in high office…..shaking hands is NOT helping the situation……My Advice: Get out of this camp and fast too….” it is corrupt.
I guess you have the proof that this Government is corrupt then produce that proof and lets get them out of office ok. Until then, you wasting the space on DNO.
wow
It’s ultimately up to the people of St. Joe Constituency but Mr. should never be given the opportunity to run again…….pure embarrassment.
Kelver, You asked for some softwares to setup the St. Joseph computer center, but you never said THANK YOU! You parked in front of my house and never said good morning,good afternoon or good evening, you drive your SUV at all times hiding behind your tinted windows…too ashamed to looking your peers in the eyes.. but guest what…I shall allow no man to belittle my soul by making me hate him.”
~Booker T. Washington
kelva always there running his mouth bout education. when was the last time a young person from senjoe benefited from a gov scholarship? SIince in time of Vince and neva again. Now here you go handing out money to layou as if thats gonna buy them ppl vote…
election is there so they using all tactics tell kelver come again stupess he haven’t done nothing to develop his community, infact st.joe is the poorest community in d.a .. Dominicans will see thought this greed driven,corrupt government
Boy Kelver! Elections really coming! You divide the community more than anybody. You don’t speak to people. We don’t see you. So don’t come with that. Layou people know and St. Joe people know. Is best skerrit just take you out there. Your were a poor representative for us.
I feel for you Kelver!! Now that Skerro tell you guys that he paid to run in these specific constituencies to go work for your money, you now, all of a sudden want to come and talk about division? When you yourself is not even doing anything over the years to unite us as a people.??!!
Ms. Mornell is a much better person and more qualified to run in St.Joe, so give it up while it is early and tell Skerro you are sorry but can’t win this seat for him.
Im switching for sure next election.
kelvar best advise to you get out of politics,st.joe dont want you anymore,whats so big about giving 3 kid checques,what about the others,no child should be left behind.
how shameful. Politics is all we breathe? St. Joseph not the poorest. The people thought they would be getting things free so they admit being poor but truth of the matter they are not the poorest, ust lacking motivation!!!!
last election people were saying that they voting for Skerrit and not for the condidates, lets see what they will be saying this time. RONNIE ESIDORE for Prime Minister.
lennox linton for prime minister
Mr. Darroux, dont be surprise that the PM change the Candidate for St. Joseph.
Monel is a house hold name now, sorry Sir, not this time.
Only when election near politicians especially the self serving ones know the plight of the people, checks and money should be given all through the five years if you see it fit to give and advice of unity should be given all through also…Kelver that’s just too much politricks
This is the man Kelver Darroux who has witness Gadakhan polluting the community of Layou never did or say anything, this is the Parl Rep who under his stewardship Saint joseph has become the poorest in Dominica, base on that track record and the election season getting closer off course he needs to surface from hiding, but with that track record the only thing he can do is to once again insult the constituents of Layou with a cheque.
Are you saying that Darroux waved his evil wand and WHAM! St Joe became poor? You guys can really type nonsense on DNO. St Jo’s issues began years ago long long before Darroux came into politics and it will take some time for things to turn around as it did not happen in a day or a political term. Darroux inherited the issue but it did not start with him so please spare us intelligent Dominicans your bull-crap.ok!
Are you one of those Dominicans who failed to take advantage of the education opportunities in the USA? Must be, why else would you write such filth, baseless filth??
It would appear that Kelver is running scared of Ms Mornell, the United Workers Party candidate for the St. Joseph Constituency. For four years he has been very quiet,all of a sudden he realises he should take the people of the St. Joseph Constituency seriously.
you for real????i doh fink you from sen joe, mornell can beat kelver or anybody that going up for labour in sen joe? come again who ever you are
kelver darroux is not a peoples candidate. he only greets his supporters.if u don’t support him he wont even say hi neither for good afternoon. now he want to say layou people doe vote him and he giving them now? minister pe-peep!
This dude got to be joking! Funny! All of a sudden he handing checks,and talking of divisive politics…elections around so he going vote hunting…change is a must not an option!!
Did you read he said, “He received the least number of votes in that community but he did not turn his back on them?”
This should tell you that he was with them all along even though the majority of them did not vote for him. You must read, comprehend what you read and utilize your common sense.
“what”
His words and actions sure sound and look like one that has already been defeated. Mr. Darroux, I know politics is a community divider but Kelver will agree with me that no one has divided the country as much as his administration has. If you go around the country you would realize that we no longer have Village / Town Councils that are voted in by villagers but rather most are manipulated by the DLP. In fact in some constituencies you will find that parlreps including the PM no longer meet with villagers but rather a selected group of DLP supporters. Another thing is, you all always talk about education as if education only began with Skerrit. FYI all three parties have invested heavily in education and what you all are doing is just a continuation of what you met. Miss Charles invested heavily in education, so to was UWP and now DLP. In fact both Mr. Skerrit and Vince are on record saying that education increased under UWP. So don’t think education is your trademark. The fact of the matter is, the DLP has failed the country miserably and offering handouts and come and blow a trumpet like you are doing now and as Mr. Skerrit did in the Carib Territory last week when he insulted the people about their 87 houses he put roof on and toilet is just not enough for a future. People need hope and an opportunity to stop being dependent on you all and that we know the DLP cannot change. In other words, don’t give me bread but rather give an opportunity to work so I could buy my own bread and enjoy the bread that I like instead of pein wassie that is given to me.
Common sense dictates, it depends whom you support. From what I have read on this Website with obviously more in the future, I do not think it is the (all) politicians who divide but their supporters especially the non-supporters of DLP. Read the comments and note the thumbs down for those who support DLP. They are too visible. People must learn to be fair.
Whoever you are you sound too eloquent to present such a one sided argument so it is clear that you are anti-DLP. that’s ok you have the right to be where you want to be politically. You seem to forget the situation that UWP got us into in four and a half years of crazy management???? Where were you then, I guess you were hibernating. This party has made mistakes for sure and I hope they learn from them. However, our economy depends on foreign aid and the financial situation in the global market. We cannot survive without outside assistance and this DLP Government has been rowing our National Boat in a sea of Global Tsunamis and making good strides avoiding disaster. What Darroux is doing is what all politicians do earn political mileage that’s not new. If you have the evidence to prove, not allege, prove that there is a Minster of Government involved in corruption then you should know what to do with that information. It is sad that The Parl Rep assisting some students earns him such remarks as if he was doing something bad. I am Dominica are you?
I forgot to ask you, which political party has ever paid that much attention to the Carib people before this administration? now be careful when you answer you need to provide statistics ok. Now go figure!!
Really? Sad story them fallers are pretenders, will and come again. Man theirs so much I can say but let lying dogs LIE.
How comes that the most indigent constituents are all Labor constituencies? Just askin.
Is that a reproach for giving the cash donation to the students? I not a politician and I give cash donations all the time.
Give give Give.That is all allu doing handing down.I am so ashame of we Dominican how we allow politicians to take us for ride.We gave them the mantle,,they asked us to sacrifice so much when they came in office and we so willing did.But what did they do when things looked as if it was getting better?They went buying all kind of expensive ride,building motels,travellingincreasing their salary,fixing road only when fete coming,giving all thei IEL and BESAWEL things for free while we the tax payers their struggling to earn a descent living.
Is this really fair to us Dominicans? I listen to them rant and rave about free thing but I wish I could work and buy my child school stuff.Which mother doesnt want to go by Jays?But we cant because we have no $$$$$.So we have to wait in Long line for books and wait for them to tell us is $250 we can get.
Dominicans Wake up it is time to Wake up!
Kelver boy hush and hide your face. Elections really in the air. Skerrit embarass you and divided you right on your turf, even threaten you about your seat and you stayed mute. Really what have you done? Skerrit is the one under your watch who labeled your community severely indigent. Skerrit goes above you and right through you to give cheques to the council and other groups.
well ask dem why they didnt vote for u……….politics is always divisive.
first of all u put urself up as de one with no fault nor blemish and u portray ur opponent as a greedy etc……….every time u do that u dividing de people based on their consciences
de money dat u put in de community……….DID THAT MONEY COME FROM U PERSONALLY OR DID IT COME FROM DE TREASURY?????????
Ask him the question again that fooled
Since when helping people who are in need of is dividing them? Only the negative and ignorant would make such a statement and those who do not see the good in others. Learn to give compliments to those who assist and who deserve it.
Kelver Darroux heard Ms.Williams on Sunday talk show between you n me, Now his running scared..” Don’t worry Kelver Ms Williams will show you how to give good customer service”… Oh n by the way Kelver, she’s a Dominican not American..
these politicians are something else eh boy… kelvar u have guts papa. if u meeting the needs of the layou people now i doe want to see if u were not nor. liars lies lies lies
Cash donation from politicians in government? These are the things that must be stopped and must be considerd in the campaign financing regulations.
Stuppesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!
My friend that is what you are paid to do. It is supposed to be done, without you, out of fear trying to ‘blow your own trumpet’.
If by any stretch of your imagination, you are meeting their needs, you are not granting them a favour. THAT’S WHAT YOU SWORE ON A BIBLE TO DO AND UPHOLD (among other things)..
That is a panic reaction, but Dominicans are becoming impatient of corruption ,laziness, GREEDINESS, and ineptness.
LAYOU SHOULD kick you out, St Joseph should kick you out, Mero and the rest of the hamlets should do the same…
Your party has impoverished Dominica. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU!
Be careful of what you say and do not throw stones. What you are insinuating is that there are no Dominicans who are corrupt, lazy, greedy and inept? Some who may never have worked in their lifetime but are now dependent on the government and others who also refuse to work for their livelihood but continue to blame the government for their woes. You are not a fair person.
All you brought them is misery and poverty.
Those who lived a leisurely, non caring life, who refused to work, who do not like to work, are the ones who brought misery and poverty on themselves.
Think twice prior to making such statements for you will get it thrown right back into your face and be rebutted for your unkind, unfair and uncomplimentary words.
But Mr.Darroux if you really worth your salt as they would say!!
how come under your labour party’s rein and a survey conducted by your labour regime which indicated that St.Joe is the “Poorest Community” in Dominica.
Now tell me..how do you sleep at nights..
Means you not at all in tune with governance and development issues as a youngster bro!
South beach fl St.Joe is not the poorest community in Dominica I beliver its Dubuc in the parish of saint Patrick between Grand bay and stowe.
francis chicago you are out of touch with dominica… st joe is the poorest now. when dey send a ticket for you to come and vote go visit st joe ghetto.
Really? I was not aware of that. Have not heard of the statistics. You must have conducted a survey pertaining to the poorest village in Dominica. How else would you know that?
A community does NOT become poor within four years. It is hard work from each family that helps make life better in any country. Sitting on the block, using and abusing illegal drugs, getting disoriented from positive things do not make a community rich.
On the contrary it makes them poor but they are too quick to blame the government and not themselves, their negligence.
lol. Politicians boy…
Forkit I will.
Kelvar u will not cost me the election
It is just me? I can’t see the relationship between the headline and the story. Help me somebody
