PM brushes aside Ronald Charles

Ronald Charles

Prime minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, has brushed aside newly announced United Workers Party (UWP) nominee for the Roseau Valley, Ronald Charles.

Speaking on Kairi’s Next Level program the prime minister appeared incredulous that Charles might be taking on sitting MP, Dr. Colin McIntyre.

“And this guy in the Valley there, what’s his name? Charles,” he said. “Charles all you sending in the Valley? Is not the same Charles that used to work at Island Car Rentals, who is a lawyer now?”

According to Skerrit the UWP is not serious. “Let me tell you something, I feel like calling elections tonight, you know, because I really want to deal with these fellahs…,” he remarked. “I mean these fellahs cannot be serious.”

The prime minister asked again, “You sending Charles in the Valley? Charles, you really running?”

Charles, from Trafalgar, was nominated to represent the party in the Roseau Valley over the weekend.

The Roseau Valley constituency consists of the communities of Cockrane, Laudat, Morne Prosper, Trafalgar and Wotten Waven.

The nomination has to be endorsed by the party’s executive before becoming official.

Charles is one of many candidates that have agreed to participate in the next general election on the UWP ticket.

On an earlier edition of the Next Level Program, the prime minister had dismissed the UWP candidates as loiterers, time wasters, lacking ambition and unemployed.

    I wasn’t going to comment on this topic but I heard a youth say today that they’re so ashamed of the leader of this country that getting mixed up with the Dominican Republic isn’t so bad anymore. In fact, they would rather have their passport say Dominican Republic.
    Then I thought to myself, wow, an enlightening moment. How can a young mind grasp so quickly the wrongs in the past few times that the PM has made public speeches, those especially in the media, but someone mature and supposedly intelligent people seem to have blinders on. The animals who usually have blinders on usually get whipped to do their master’s biddings. Well, go ahead and take your lashes then. At least I still see a little hope in our youth.

    If I was Mr. Charles, I would have concentrate on well establishing myself and firm first before going into politics. Lets say like 10 years down the road, but I’m not Mr. Charles.

    Just my 2 cents.

    come on PM, what message a u sending to the young people, don’t further urself for the future but remain where u are so u can always come to the RED clinic to beg. Ronald Charles DO NOT GO DOWN THAT ROAD with Skeritt the man is made over power.

    The Prime Minister is behaving arrogantly by talking down and disrespecting opposition candidates. It’s a sign of weakness and desperation and he really should know better.

    Skerrit has again shown he is prepared to look down on poor people who are able to made better for themselves.

    I expect that from Tony who thinks only people of his class and color is only entitled in Dominica.

    Today our PM who was poor, now feels other poor people are not entitled to get out of poverty.

    So Ronald was working at a car rental place, then he went abroad to study law. I am confused. In Dominica that is a good move to see someone rise from one station to the next.
    Mr. PM you “Rubbish” Ronald’s accomplishments.
    Why must you stoop so low?
    I guess after you build your “Villas” everyone else is trash to you.

    Skeritt can rubbish or brush aside Mr. Ronald Charles as much as he wants, but he cannot do what Mr. Charles has done, even though million of dollars were offered to him and his supporters to produce a picture or certificate of his University Degrees at graduation. During an interview with Sat on the 10th. December, Mr. Charles was proud to display the following Certificates.
    Legal Education Certificate.
    Bachelor of Law.
    Bachelor of Arts, second class honors.
    Certificate of Participation, internal property law clinic.
    Certificate of appreciation from the Council of Legal Education.
    Innovation, Promotion, Technology Transfer and Successful Technology Licensing S.T.L.
    Skeritt must stop hiding behind a radio microphone and prove to Dominicans, he is as educated or a better leader then those people who want to kick him out of office.

    So what sense is the prime minister making in these statements? Are his statements going to make a difference?…and what kind of prime minister goes on a radio station and makes these kinds of statements about other people? Is this really the kind of person you Dominicans want to represent you all?….someone who is always trying to diss the opposition or make unnecessary statements. What does this man’s former job have to do with anything? Smh

    I have no idea why Mr Skerrit is trying to denegrade Ronald Charles and I cannot understand what is wrong working in a car dealer’s shop. But I want to tell Mr. Skerrit that no body except the vieille case people knew him before he contested elections and he is Prime Minister today.
    I want to tell Mr Skerrit that the people of the valley are very proud of Mr Ronald Charles, who has been a very powerful community man; served his community and moved up the ranks in society and is now a lawyer.
    I want to as Mr. Skerrit, examine himself and his past and stop pointing fingers at people.

    Mr. Ronald Charles is a young man just like him and committed to his community.

    Mr. Skerrit behaves as if he is upstanding and better than everyone else. Mr Skerrit seem to have forgotten his past because we Dominicans have elevated him.

    I say to you Mr. Skerrit,that time will tell.

    Shame on you PM Skerrit for degrading another son off the soil, a fellow Dominican.Whats wrong with striving for success,progress and wanting to represent your country at a higher level to help better the living situation of your people?PM Skerrit you just echoed Mandela and the sacrifices/contributions he made to unify his country and by extension the world. HOw dare you as PM denegrate another brother?.it is obvious you are a ;RAZOR BLADE:

      Why you trying to mislead people. I heard the statement lennox said although there are those who are on the program that are in need of the help but there are many who are left out and some of them of them on the program don’t need the help they are either greedy or selfish taking from the people who actually need the help.
      Nowhere did he say needy people are greedy. It’s the ones pretending to be needy that are greedy,
      Fast and furious go on your own coast to coast talk to the people see for yourself don’t take lennox word then come back and tell us about your journey, until then shut up!

    “Let me tell you something, I feel like calling elections tonight, you know, because I really want to deal with these fellahs…,” he remarked. “I mean these fellahs cannot be serious.” People, this is a very serious statement. Please don’t take it lightly. This PM has something to do with some Dominicans just because they are not supporting him or his puppets. That is the reason why he wants one more chance. Take time and study the sentence again.That one more chance can mean taking away our freedom of speech, controlling the judiciary system as is happening already, passing laws that will make him president executive for life,controlling the police force and civil service,controlling or closing down some radio stations and newspapers,etc. You heard what he said that he feels like calling the elections tonight so he can deal with those fellas. We have a dictator in the making who will show his real colours if he is given another chance. He will deal with those fellas. What have they done than to just present themselves as candidates to improve the country and Dominicans? Our country is supposed to be a democratic one.This man does not want opposition. Watch the way he treats the opposition in parliament. He looks down upon them as rubbish. This man is so haughty and all he does is to tell lies and more lies and spew out anger for people who don’t support him. What I see coming is imprisonment for the people who don’t comply with his laws when he pass them if he is given the chance again to be PM. Please do not make this mistake to vote in the DLP again to form the government.Those who can leave Dominican will run while the others will bawl with their hands on their heads. Take all that they give you but remember this is to buy you to vote for them but remember the hardships that you had over the last fourteen years and vote them out. All he wants is for the poor to remain poor than to be independent and work to better themselves. It is clear for all to see what is happening.

    It is literally embarrassing to hear Skeritt speak in a public forum. Here he is criticizing these intelligent guys and he can barely maintain an intellectual conversation. His sentence structure lacks a complete comprehensive statement of substance.

    I do not usually comment on these political articles but I think this is TOO MUCH!!! The prime minister has gone too far this time!! I mean, what does he mean by this statement? “Charles from the valley” “who worked in car rental”??? What is he really saying here? What was he before he became the Minister of Education, then the Prime Minister of Dominica? Even now in his cabinet, he has rum drinkers, etc. Why is a Prime Minister of a country trying to bring down its citizens??? And what does he mean by “teaching these fellas a lesson”? Is this a joke to him? Well, I suppose given the fact that some Dominicans have him on a pedestal, he has a right to behave that way. I am having serious second and third thoughts about voting for this man again. I mean, this could have been my brother, cousin, husband, friend etc that he is attempting to degrade… I cannot support such blatant disrespect. And if I were the PM I would sit and ask myself a question….at least Ronald Charles took his grinds and GRADUATED from Law School – did YOU GRADUATE MR. PM.?

    We Dominicans need to TEACH YOU a lesson – you are not God, STOP acting like you are in charge!!!! Only God has the power to allow things to happen when and how He wants them to happen….

    Now seriously I’m a Dominican living abroad and I don’t really take part in the politricking that goes on however the PMs’ remarks are highly disrespectful and a true representation of what a mockery politics have become in my country.

    They say power currupts and absolute power currupts absolutely. The PM is drunk with power and has no regard for opposing politicians or the constituents that support them.

    These pompous attitudes of the ruling political leaders would be reason enough for me to vote for the other party.

    Its really silly season. How come a PM could be saying all these strange things to the point of making his own party look bad. This Labour Party is certainly not the party Rossie and his mate formed. Imagine when the world is mourning the loss of such a great leader in the person of Nelson Madiba TaTa mandela, here comes the PM bashing and bring everyone to the gutters in an utterly arrogant way. Never would you hear, a truth freedom fighter talk in the manner the PM is doing. Such a way of speaking is not a way of freedom but a way of oppression and not reconciliation and animosity towards those who think otherwise…
    The PM need to ask himself, how much has he applied the lessons of Mandela to his life and his fellow party menbers? How much is he willing to work and collaborate for the cause of justice and peace and love! Its should be a time of self reflection, and ask how well are the principles of mandela are being applied to life….. There is work to be done together and here is the PM just preaching and making it a way of life to Divide the country: Labour folks against the rest of the world. This is not the call of a good leader…..
    Yes you are trying to promote war on poverty and war of a lesser way of life but you guys stick to the agenda of fearlessly attacking and belittling people… It seems that You Mister PM doesn’t tolerate descent from Your own People!
    Dominica is a free state of democracy and will power not a dictatorial regime! Dominicans should never be fooled by all the cosmetic actions that folks like you perform: big smiles, hand shakes, hugs, gifts but dont you all dare challenge me! Dominica is a free state, and Dominicans are free. Dominicans are not in venuezaula or your other friendly governments who doesn’t tolerate challenge!
    Remember those who are coming forward to serve are folks who want change, want newness, want freedom
    and democracy ring: Let Freedom Ring in the East, West, South and North of Dominica.
    “It does not matter how strait the gate,how charged with punishment the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul!” Nelson Mandela whilst in jail!
    Its a sad day when, somebody in such high office can be saying such things, yet not one protest, rally, and a call to accountability from the people! if Dominicans don’t act, even the stones will cry one day! Cheap political tactics, this is called gutter politics! Mapweee and movay langeee!Mr PM, you ask where the young man from: He is from Dominica and has all his rights to chose his party!
    There should be a course entitled: Maturity 101 for every politician!

    Great job PM Skerrit! Keep talking! Keeping rubbishing everyone until you realize that you are the rubbish to be discarded.

    While you talk, just be convinced that the Valley is running all the way to parliament of the Commonwealth of Dominica with Ronald and the UWP.

    The truth is even Dr. Mac will soon distance himself from you and doubt knowing you exist if you continue to utter such garbage about the young and dynamic candidates of the UWP.

    One cannot buy nor rent charisma. Skerrit never had charisma and I would just Shake my head when I hear people refer to skerrit as charismatic. I went to school wit skerrit and not on his best day would anyone follow skerrit.
    Mike Douglas had charisma, Rossie Douglas had charisma, Eugenia Charles did not have charisma Eddison James has charisma. Roosevelt skerrit nor Lennox Linton have charisma.This is not to suggest that charisma is a absolute requirement. What is disgusting is that Skerrit went around pretending to have charisma when he never had charisma.
    If a guy like Mike or Rossie wanted to discredit an opponent with grass root criticism there would be wit and humor but not pure denigration and foolish pride and arrogance as displayed by Skerrit.

    And so the PM continues to spew more rumshop politics, gutter politics, landfill politics, and mammie’s saltfish landfill politics.
    What message is sending to the school leavesr.. do not accept any job unless it is from goverment jobs. That they must not be self-employed. That they must not take any interrim jobs, then go to further their studies. That they must have no ambition.
    Why is the PM scorning the base degrees by which he did ascend?

    I remember the dimples, the christian man, Young charmer with dimples, looking at pictures of the PM from 2003 and now is just amazing. Still young but so old, the bags under eyes, the dimples which people so love is almost gone as the smiles fade away. The power and wealth have brought the PM deeper in the hole he digs up. Concentrate on the people, youth and the development of this land that you govern. People are getting poorer and the rich getting richer. What about the people that cannot and will not teach college, or even be employed at a car rental company, maybe even in a bakery? This so disgraceful. So if i was to represent my constituency and worked as a farmer all my life you would come on a radio talk show and say i don’t have money so better i go to red clinic, get money to buy fertilizer? Honestly i think that the PM would do the same to anybody who challenges him, that’s why his cabinet members are scared of him and go by everything he lets out . Exercise the right as a past teacher and bring back the debates and less name calling rum-shop talk. Mr PM i wish you well, but remember even if now you try to do good your wages to pay back will never be fulfilled, not even your children’s children will be able to. The lies and deception you have made to the people of this land will forever hunt you, way after you get out of office. God is good all the time and all the time God is good. One day!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean you are th ePrime minister you should not be talking about people that way. I would like to know how the PM would feel if people start saying things he did in the past or is still doing. I’ve said before and will say it again. I am ok with the PM and think he did some good for Dominica but what he is doing now is really childish and uncalled for. I really do think he will let some of his supporters turn against him . It’s not only the poor people who supports him, he must realise that. There are people you are ok and do not have to depend on the Government who are his die hard supporters.

If you were working for Astaphans as a cashier and you worked your butt off to become Astaphans top financial consultant would YOU like someone to insult your hard work like that? You would think it is OK to have someone diminish your accomplishments? This is TRULY SICKENING! How different are the men and women of the UWP that the PM insults, from the rest of the unemployed in Dominica? How different are the hundreds of graduates who cannot find jobs, even after they go away to study? Are they all wastetimers too? Are they all loiterers? The PM started from being a POOR TEACHER, now he is a MULTIMILLIONAIRE! And you folks just sit by and not question why us it that the PM is a millionaire but yet Princess Margret hospital cannot operate on the average person with serious injuries. Why is it that the programs at the college is still NOT up to par for current world trends. Why the average Dominican CANNOT open an establishment but people from China can?!?!

    If the Majority of Dominicans were anywhere close to be thinkers or a heads up society this Juvenile Leader would pay dearly at the polls for his Reckless statements..

    This is nothing new from Roosevelt skerrit it’s his typical behavior. This is a young man who is very thin skinned and intolerant of views that are opposed to his. He is like a 2 year old (the terrible 2’s) who throws tantrums when things are not the way he likes and wants. skerrit is of the view that he can do no wrong (a sort of demigod) and that all he does should receive support from everyone. He gets worked up and especially so, when people of sound intellect takes issue with his governance or simply offers themselves to contest against his failed administration of the country’s affairs. His hypocritical supporters in his defense have claimed that he has been attacked and that he is just fighting back but I ask them, when did Bevin Ettienne, Joshua Francis, Monnelle Williams and Ronald Charles attack him? Like I said this is typical of skerrit and is just a continuation of his attacks on people with views different to his. Let us recall some of his outburst in the past against Judith Pestaina (when he said “she can’t buy a quart of paint to paint her hotel”) Sam Raphael (when he told the nation that Sam was owing the state money) and Brian Alleyne (when he claimed the distinguished judge came to him on his return to Dominica looking for favors). Even his ministers followed suit with the likes of reggie austrie telling Alleyne “go lock yourself in a toilet…..” His supporters can be likened to those who would see a friend doing wrong and not tell them out of fear of breaking that friendship or for some it would be losing certain favors and privileges or being scorned. A true friend or supporter would see their dear friend at the edge of the cliff and would warn them to step back. An enemy is one who would pay a blind eye to the clear and present danger or would say nothing out of fear and would even dear to try and catch them if they would fall.

For a man who supposed to have a degree in English – This man has absolutely no command of the English language; English is almost like a second language to him. The only other person I know to be worse than him is Justina Charles who sits as a member of his disingenuous and incompetent cabinet. Nowhere else in the civilized world could Skerrit be Prime Minister. If you take Skerrit without his ill-gotten title of Prime Minister and you put him in the centre of Roseau and tell him to go find a job, the only job Skerrit is likely to get is as a bag boy at Whitchurch, Save- A- Lot, Astaphans or A.

    After reading from this site over the last few months I am not sure that our education system has failed our we have attended school to only pass exams. I really think we have far to go in constructive independent thinking. Most of the reasoning is weak and of the “mepwi” type. Our “for and against” mentality is killing our intellect and is a poor reflection of whom we should be and what we are capable of. Yes it is shameful since the performance of our students at international institutions says that we are capable of more.

    I have always said Skerrit has to inflict self destruction to himself and the Labour Party . So the more he utters his gutter criticism about those fantastic UWP Candidates the closer will be his defeat at the polls whenever he calls it.The sooner the better for Dominica sake. Last time Skerrit referred to the UWP Candidates as UNEMPLOYED and LOITERERS now he is criticizing Ronald for being once employed at a Car Rental.What is wrong with this Mr Skerrit? For your information Sir, at that time Ronald had a Bachelors Degree in Social Studies from the U.K.SO you see MR Skerrit we have a well qualified young man who is now an attorney to give us effective representation in the Roseau Valley.He is our RISING STAR. No more BIB BOBOL, no more FERTILIZER BOBOL and GALVANIZE CORRUPTION .WE are ashamed of this kind of representation from Collin Mc Intyre your candidate. Based on your tantrums about Ronald Charles it is clear to a kinder garden child that you are as scared as hell. Save your sanity Sir, Call elections now and i can assure you that the voters of Morne Prosper, Copt Hall, Wotten Waven, Shawford, Fond Canie, Trafalgar, Byack, Laudat and Cockrane will send Collin MC Intyre packing and the people of Dominica Will send you and the rest of your corrupt bunch of Ministers to a quiet place where you all belong to reminisce on your destruction of our people and our beautiful country. We all love RONALD CHARLES for the ROSEAU VALLEY. MORE POWER MORE VICTORY.

    I made a comment yesterday when the prime minister decided to honor Mr. Mandela by having a day of mourning and flying the flags at half staff, my comment was that this guy had learned nothing from Mandela and that his statement was laced with hypocrecies. How can you lambase a young man for starting off working in a car rental business and pulling himself up by his boot strap, how can you lambase him based on where he started.
    The Roseau people mentality has finally hit Skeritt (guess he is transplanted Roseauian). Gone are the days when being from the country meant you were stupid, or because your father was a farmer meant that you would not amount to much, these days it just dont matter where you are from, what matters is where you are going and the road you chose to get there.

    Mr. Skerrit while we are at it let me try to educate you if anyone else can. Soem have stopped at attempting to do so because it appears that you are far beyond that. But nonethee less I wil try. One qucik example is that Nelson Mandela (RIP) hunble beginings started as a small cow herder in his rural village to be come one of the giants of the 21 st century.I am not sure how you started but your wrods and actions are beyond politics and firing up your base supporters. It is ahre stupidity and ignorance. If that is what the Dominican people want then they can have it. One thing for sure, you are not my PM but there’s.

    Isn’t it great that he was able to move on from a car rental company to an attorney? Aren’t we supposed to be motivating our our professionals especially men for their career growth?

    Such statement should not come from a PM – “Is not the same Charles that used to work at Island Car Rentals, who is a lawyer now?”

    Being an attorney is much better than having a BA in Psychology if you want to compare educational attainment. Or is it because the PM has become a millionaire he is looking down on others.

    I am a Skerrit supporter just in case the haters want to bash my comment but I would not tolerate ignorant statements especially as it pertains to the growth of our people and their calling to serve in public office.

    My poll indicates that Skerrit is in trouble.
    Labour can only salvage Vielle Case, Portsmouth, Grand Bay, Cottage, others like Paix Bouch, Petite Savanne, Mahaut are shaking and they are in real trouble in Roseau Valley, Castle Bruce, La Plaine, Grand Fond and all the other seats they now hold.
    The youth are moving towards the UWP in numbers.
    Skerrit is in a state of confusion, he knows that he has garbage candidates who he would like to change but there are no credible candidates. He is scared that the opposition is more READY than him, when he looks at the UWP state of readiness compared to Labour in December 1999 is mind boggling.
    Skerrit has no help, he is running a one-man army, none of his generals have credibility so he is left with Reginald Austrie and the Animal Show team.
    Look out, Skerrit will soon loose it and he is going to curse every body. Just wait for it.

    young people take note. Is the prime minister telling you that certain jobs are not worthy? Is that why he is not looking to create jobs for you? Is he telling you that you should not work in jobs considered “not worthy” by him? Ask him which job he is creating for you to start off with if you are hoping to be a leader in the future. Is he telling you that you should not work at all but just go begging and try illegal means? Come on prime minister you are defeating what young people are taught – that it all work, since it is legal is worthy. Some people started as messengers but took pride in what they did and became great in life. Some collected bottles and sold it but they learned responsibility, the value of work, independence, respect, trustworthiness, honesty, cooperation – all characteristics of a leader. It is not how you started; it is where you end and how you help others succeed

This man has no gravitas and respect for others at all! Dominicans need to consider this simple fact; a leader who expresses such disrespect amd contempt for someone who does not agree with him, will hold you too in contempt should you disagree with anything he says. Is that who you want to lead you? And if you are willing to accept that, then what does that say about you? Furthermore, how would you feel if the show was on the other foot, that you were treated in such a manner by the opposition – would that be OK with you? Would you accept that? If your answer is yes, then you too have no respect for others and yourself. If your answer is no, and you still agree with the PM doing it, then you are a hypocrite and just as bad as he is. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

However, I do care about my country and my people, and someone with the arrogance, and pompous nature of Skerrit, I will NEVER support! Anyway, Mr. PM, the Bible says that pride comes before a FALL- be guided Mr. PM. It may not be next election, but the Good Book don’t like – you are going to fall and fall hard! You have made power turn you foolish. Last night I looked at a video of you talking to Lennox as a new politician and you were soo decent and humble (…yes sir, no sir etc). I teach my children to respect everyone, and I might be using some of you disrespectful sayings to show them what disrespectful is, and hence what I don’t want them to do or become. Shame on you!

    As a neutral person who listens to people on the ground in all the constituencies:
    IF ELECTIONS ARE CALLED TOMORROW THE RESULT WOULD BE:
    UNITED WORKERS PARTY 11 Seats
    LABOUR PARTY 10 Seats
    United Workers Party is on a Very Serious Momentum, and I don’t see them stopping now. It would be madness to stopTHAT MOMENTUM ANYWAY!
    They have Skerrit in neutral gear,cannot start. But he must start soon, or else the tide will turn so seriously that by February 2014 it could all read:
    UNITED WORKERS PARTY 14 Seats
    LABOUR PARTY 7 Seats
    While I would like to complement the entire UWP team, but special mention must be made of the leader, who is prepared to take the fight to Skerrit and in Skerrits face too.HE IS BOLD AND BRAVE. YOU ARE TOUGHT LINTON.
    LET’S HOPE THAT THE CAMPAIGN IS INCIDENT AND ACCIDENT FREE!
    Follow the footsteps of Joshua Francis:
    LEAVE THE MAPEWIS OUT!

      I am not in a position to dispute your prediction. So far the people I meet who are anti Skerrit are mainly those who were so in 2009 with only a few more, but then some who opposed him in 2009 are now on his side. You did not indicate whether you conducted a scientific poll, neither did you name the nine constituencies that DLP would loose.I think you should clarify this.

      • Anonymous
        December 10, 2013

        Skerrit himself had a poll done that indicated that he was is going to loose 7 to 9 of the seats he has presently and the the UWP would not loose any of what they have. The pollster wrote a piece in the newspaper recently trying to clarify the poll. The clarification was that UWP would need an 11% swing on average to win the election. Some areas were only a 1-2% swing. You got it now?

    Hey PM! Compose yourself, young man. You are veering off course. Remain focussed on the task. Leave The Valley politics to Dr Mac; he knows some things you don’t. You see Sir, Ronald comes from a powerful family in The Valley, especially at Trafalgar and Morne Prosper. “Charles” is a well recognised surname in The Valley and you want to be sure that when you attack Ronald, you don’t simultaneously piss off your supporters in The valley. Ronald’s mother is a “Rolle”, another powerful surname in Trafalgar, Laudat and Wotten Waven. They are the land owners, at one time almost owning the Trafalgar Waterfalls. Ronald is an avid sportsman and sports administrator in The Valley. He is a founding member of the popular “Look Us” band. What you may also not know is that while he managed Island Car Rentals, he already had a first degree. Law is a second degree for him. So while you play down a “simple” job at a rental, Ronald humbly did his stint there. Today, we hear you begging the private sector to take on some graduates as part of your work internship programme. Some young person may well get opportunities at the same car rental where Ronald worked. Will you later turn around and refer to these interns as “Cucumber? The same Cucumber who used to work at Island Car Rentals?” Shame on you, Sir! Now I now that you have no interest in the youth of this country. You don’t give a damn about us. Your internship programme is all about you, and how you can win election.
    During the 2000 elections, Ronald was wearing RED! Ah, I sure you didn’t know dat! He was supporting you all the way! Didn’t you know then that he was “Charles! The same Charles who working at Island Car Rentals?”
    Mr PM, you have exposed yourself now! The nation knows that you care less about graduates and jobs. You want to win and if it takes telling lies, making stories and going to the obiah man, you will gladly do so. Shame on You! Magwe Sa!

For the sake of Dominicans at home and abroad, be careful when you make those dirty gutter like statements.

    Wether or not you feel the UWP candidates are not worthy you can go about saying it in a more professional way. You are the PM of the country talking on the media program like any man by the road.

    Your disregard for order and professionalism is becoming more apparent. You stooped down to the level of those lower than you. I voted for you because I believed you were the best man for the job and you never paid any mind to the gutter politicians trying to slander your name.

    Lennox is a media personality so he could go on radio and run his mouth talking nonsense. But what is your excuse? Shame!!!!

    We have two media ……running for office now. Poor Dominica.

    If that’s the lingo of a man that supposed to be a leader it’s just sad and disgraceful. The guy has no sense of reason and just sounds downright uneducated. This government needs to go. .. not soon but now.

    But Skerrit. You have forgot who you were 15 yrs ago. And Dominicans will remind you. Are u insinuating that you will manipulation election date to result in a win? If you are confident in your party, why that mannet of reaction?

    Your act like a scared man. What do u fear? Stop actung weak mr PM.

    And if i was to choose btw a teacher and an attorney, the attorney which would i choose?

      Does it matter when he said that..it’s an uneducated..very foolish and egocentric statement that should not be coming from a PM’s mouth…Skerrit should know that even the poor man’s job contribute in a significant way to the running of society…and he should not look down on what a man does in the manner he does.

      Negbawi, it seems you are the one who is wrong. Ronald Charles’ possible candidacy was only announced yesterday and it is still not yet official.

    Some people have expressed concerned about Linton as being Prime Minister material; but Skerrit comments recently has demonstrated that he operate a much lower level. Skerrit comments make Linton looks far more Prime Ministerial that him.

    Prime Minister please try to insert a LITTLE professionalism in your approach to political campaigning. You set no attractive precedent to follow. The UWP is presenting Dominicans who are willing o serve. Your cunning remarks and attacks are not attractive.

    ok PM… You really not getting it eh. Brother even if you feel you are more than another human being or that your candidates are the best of the best of the best doesn’t mean you have to try to bring down another!!

    To respond to someone who is exercising his constitutional right as ‘ not Charles that use to work by valley’ is to show that you feel intimidated by him.

    No one who is confident has to resort to attempting to belittling others! No one Mr Skerrit (P.S, Skerrit, Skerit that use to be the teacher?)
