Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit on Wednesday dismissed as “absurd” and “ridiculous” a call from Opposition Leader Hector John that he resign after a talk show host said he had evidence that Skerrit had renounced his French citizenship earlier this year.
John, on Monday, called for the prime minister’s resignation after talk show host Lennox Linton read documents on his weekend radio programme which allege that Skerrit applied for French citizenship on April 8, 2003 and subsequently renounced that citizenship on February 5, 2010.
“The call by the leader of the opposition for Roosevelt Skerrit to resign is absurd and ridiculous. They have brought the matter to the courts and if they believe that they have evidence to support their claim, then take the matter to court,” Skerrit said on the state radio station, DBS.
A High Court judge ruled in August that Skerrit would have to face trial over charges that his election last December was null and void on the grounds that he holds dual citizenship.
“If I were they I would have run to my lawyers with whatever I have so that he can prepare the necessary documents and submit to the court. Let the courts decide. But this call for Roosevelt Skerrit to resign, let me say to my supporters and to the rest of Dominicans, I have no intention of resigning because the leader of the opposition says Skerrit must resign,” he said.
Skerrit said he was operating from a strengthened position since last December’s general elections that returned his Dominica Labour Party to office with an 18-3 majority, and was satisfied with the management of the economy.
“When we look at the way we have been able to manage the affairs of Dominica, the vast majority of Dominicans are satisfied with the manner we have been managing the economy.
“If an election were to be called in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015… in 2025 the Labour party will be returned to office with a resounding mandate again,” he said.
The UWP has said it will hold a ‘people’s assembly’ on Friday outside the Financial Centre in Roseau to protest Skerrit’s “illegal election” to office, among other issues.
“These attempts to create unease and civil unrest in Dominica will not work because the people of Dominica are seeing through the selfish attitude of Ron Green, Edison James and Hector John,” Skerrit said.
“Let not your heart be troubled. I am standing firm because you the people of Dominica have given me a very strong mandate to lead this country into greater prosperity and development,” the prime minister assured his supporters.
Between me and my husband and now my son, we’ve owned game consoles over the years – more than I can count, including Nintendo NES, 64, Wii, Xbox (classic & 360), Sega Genisis, PS2, PS3, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of consoles. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the widely popular Xbox 360 is.
sometimes am moved to feel ashamed 4 dominicans,after reading some of your comments,but again taking things in proper perspective,one must feel ashamed of the blindfolded laborites….I feel sorry for them…alass
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Mr. Skerrit as a muslim who was born and raised here, I say to you, the people have a right to information you have been keeping from them. I believe you should answer the people in a professional and ethical manner regarding the issues. People are losing trust in you quickly.
Secondly Mr. Skerrit, what is the MOU between Dominica and China? The people have a right to know whether their country is being sold technically to Chinese. They need to know, it is time you own up. You know very well the court system takes time, there is a lot of backlog. You should be placed before a tribunal, not the High Court.
Honestly really none of these Ministers should run the country they are in some way or another corrupt not just by money, but by the fact that they don’t answer to no one but their master Skerro, especially Julius Timothy who sold his flag just because he was not elected as the leader of the opposition (thinking out loud), point is people Skerro is boss and in order to beat the boss you need to have more links money power influence to win the war not the battle.
no wonder he laughs at all us Dom-in-cans
MR. SKERRIT, THERE COMES A TIME WHEN WE ALL HAVE TO PUT OUR PRIDE AWAY AND COME TO TERMS WITH WHAT WE HAVE DONE.
I DO NOT KNOW IF WHAT YOU ARE ACCUSED OF IS TRUE OR NOT, BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT CITIZENS HAVE A LEGAL RIGHT TO RAISE QUESTIONS TO ELECTED OFFICIALS. IN FACT IT IS PART OF THE OATH THAT YOU TOOK TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS FOR ALL DOMINICANS TO KNOW, AND IT NOT A WASTE OF YOUR TIME TO DO SO.
WITH AN 18-3 MAJORITY YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.
SIR BRIAN ALLYNE HAS GIVEN HIS ADVICE AS WELL, HE IS A SINIOR STATESMAN AND LEGALLY MINDED HERE IN DOMINICA AND WELL RESPECTED. HE WILL NOT MISLEAD YOU. GO AHEAD AND PUT THIS MATTER TO REST.
THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION IS VERY CRUCIAL AND THERE IS WHERE IT IS BEING TRIED NOW. THE WHEELS OF THE LEGAL SYSTEM TURNS VERY SLOWLY IN SOME CASES.
TO ALL DOMINICANS, PLEASE PUT POLITICAL AFFILIATION ASIDE, AND THINK OF WHAT ADVICE YOU ARE GIVING YOUR CHILDREN IN THIS CASE.
lol look cinema boi some ppl just need to step down especially those that take advantage on people children and give them scholarship to hush them up lol anyways pm it seems you lack in testicular fortitude if oyu wrong you wrong if you not you not
Be real people Law is law if our PM breach the rules could he kindly resign and give someone else the chance to run the country. My people our country is going under slowly but surely. Some of us are ignorant and just look at the materialistic things my people look at the bigger picture.
PM can you please answer the peoples questions
Secondly, you should resign…………..
My heart pains to see the way my sweet d/a is………………
I sometimes take these hings personal? how Dominica is? we are beter than before. oh oh. the Pm does ..t but who else can ddo beter in runnin the state right now
skerrit needs to humble himself and answer the questions that the dominican people are asking and stop beating around the bushes . both skerrit and his followers keep talking loud and saying nothing.
THIS IS MY PROBLEM WITH SKERRIT,HE JUST CANNOT CALL A SPADE A SPADE.SKERRIT HAS NOT COMMENTED ON THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE DOCUMENTS PRODUCED BY LENNOX LINTON.IN FACT HE DIDNT EVEN MAKE MENTION OF THE CONTENTS OF THE LETTER IN HIS SPEECH,ALL HE SAID WAS TO TAKE IT TO COURT.HE KNOWS THAT THE MATTER IS BEFORE THE COURT AND THE PRESENT INFORMATION CAN ONLY BE PRESENTED DURING THE CASE AS EVIDENCE.WHAT SPRAGE WAS SAYING INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR THE CASE WHICH MIGHT TAKE ANOTHER YEAR,YOU SKERRIT KNOW YOU BREACH THE LAW ,JUST RESIGN IMMEDIATELY.
So is Skerrit alone then where is Petter Sint Jean
Trying to be careful. If the articles are correct as to the citizenship of the Pm and nothing is done. I would say then to hell with the constitution. Everyone can do what they want.
This has gone beyond Politics. This about the CONSTITUTION.
Does it have power or not or is it just there for some of us?
What do you mean “trying to be careful” what i guess you are trying to say is that if the Prime Minister is correct all the time declaring his innocence and found not guilty then the constitution is worthless and should not be paid attention to, what stupidity and ignorance is this. This tells me two things one you are ignorant as to the matter at hand and second you are using your patinas political beliefs as to established what is right over the same constitution which you made your self to understand.
First of, it is only the court with evidence that can decide the guilt and innocence for The Prime Minister based on evidence brought forth, so if the court says he was right all along, what you are saying is that the constitution is worthless, and then it is people like you who claim to understand the continuation talking nonsense about it is just their for some of us. Do you know what is the courts purpose. well if you do not know or understand it is the enforcer off the constitution it is there to make sure the constitution works, other words if you have Laws and do not enforce them the laws are useless and remember the court does not just dispel justice arbitrarily as you would think. Also if he losses and found guilty the law has also worked well. but I guess you are not interested in the workings of the Law, justice and the constitution, your only interest is the results based on what you think because of your political partisan, sad, well thanks God for the constitution and the courts.
the greatest defeat of the man who by all semblance’ has won the public prize’…….is knowing it is no conquest of honour but a thing of catastrophic shame that will haunt the existence of his ‘public victory’
Dominicans when the PM has sought peace with himself, whether now or in old age……..how will U accont for your stupid ignorance of painting over all his obvious mistakes………..?.
Somebody please give Hectore John a Lolipop i mean izzzz Christmas
This sounds like a man whose kaka is boiling.
Tell them they will have to wait for general elections. The people appointed you and if the people want they will remove you. Until then tell these tired UWP politicians go hide under a rock. They are to desperate for power.
There are rules which the PM, if he has violated them, needs to be accountable. Right now, its not about the people and thier electorial decision – its about the constitution.
The Prime Minister said to those who voted him and his government in power, and I quote: “Let not your hearts be troubled”. How many of you know that this is a quote from Jesus Christ, Himself? I will quote the whole verse for you all to read: “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14: 27
Jesus said those words to His disciples in a message of peace, because He knew He was about to be crucified for the sins of the world, an outcome they would not be able to understand. Jesus was facing all sorts of accusation as well; His accusers were also false witnesses.
People were to use their faith to accept who He was, but they did not, and they continued to demand that He tell them the truth about Himself, but He would not do that; just as our Prime Minister is not telling you all what you want to hear from him word for word. He is asking you all to trust him–just as people needed to apply faith in Jesus–and he has given you all no reason not to do so, the same way Jesus did not give people any reason, not to believe in Him. I learned that Mr Skerrit is also the Minister of Finance, for crying out loud! A surplus in Dominica’s budget for the last fiscal year!
I remember the Prime Minister using the last words of the above Bible quote, at a previous time, when he was talking about that same accusation brought before the court against him. He said: “I am not afraid!”.
Some of you are asking that the Prime Minister disclose information to you all, concerning this accusation. But that is because you all are involved in a conflict that stands way above your level of intelligence. When the police arrest a person, they tell that person he/she has the right to remain silent, or whatever that person says will be used against him/her in the court. In other words, a person has the right to remain silent until the appropriate time comes for him/her to defend his/her case. That defense is put forth in a court room, before a magistrate and the jury, not before the public.
The Prime Minister is well aware of this fact, and a lot of other facts that is far fetched from the understanding of the majority of people in Dominica. So those of you who are demanding that the Prime Minister tell you anything about the conflict of dual citenship and his role in government office, you are demanding that a carmel enter into the eye of a needle. It is better to wait until the trial is over to know the truth. But the Prime Minister is saying until then, ‘trust me, let not your heart be troubled” I have confident of victory; as far as I can understand.
The world is receiving the information that the Prime Minister sends out. Do you all actually believe that he could speak with such manner of boldness, confidence, wisdom, and authority, just to end up with humiliation and embarassment at the end of that court trial? Come on people!!
Liz you are a real christian fanatic, secondly, you cannot compare skerrit with the messiah. You ppl are sick!!!
To Lion Heart
The Messiah left authority for man to do His work in this world. He died and was raised to sit on the right hand of the Father–the greatest of exaltation–after He had faced accusations, humiliation, and persecution.
Prime Minister is encountering the same situation. He can be faced with defeat through men, but have victory with God Almighty–also the great exaltation. Who said that I cannot compare him with Messiah.
The people of Jesus’ days accused Him of having the devil in Him; so it is nothing to me to branded “sick”, because of Him.
wen you are deep in crisis it may be easier to continue than to face the consequences of stoppinp….. the same can be said otherwise. how would it look for a man to come out with documents like dat and then to go to court just to prove the documents are not authntic. you know the knid of embarassment that would be to the opposition?????
so wonna be pastor come on!!!!!!!!!!!
To Annonymous
Your manner of expression, along with poor punctuation and strange spelling, makes it very difficult for me to grasp you point. Sorry!!!!!!!!
we shall not , we shall not be move .we shall not , we shall not be move. just like the streem that planth by the water, we shall not be move. we want skerett we shall not be move, we want skerett we shall not be move, just like the streem that planth by the water we shall not be move.
the young man is a God sent , no evil shall prosper over him.

wrong is wrong….if indeed u do hold dual citizenship then as PM of the country u should be the first to uphold the constitution of the country….Question…..WHY THE f*** DO WE HAVE A PRESIDENT??????
MR PM,
YOU WERE ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF DOMINICA TO RUN THE COUNTRY, AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU SHOULD KEEP DOING UNTIL YOU ARE NO LONGER ELECTED BY THEM. RON, JOHN AND JAMES DOES NOT HAVE A POT TO PEE IN FAR LESS HAVING THE BRAIN AND KNOWLEDGE TO RUN THIS COUNTRY. THEY ARE LIKE THE THREE STOOGES WHO ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO PROVE TO THE OTHER HOW STUPID THE OTHER-ONE IS. SO THE BEST WAY TO TREAT A FOOL IS TO IGNORE THE FOOL.
The Honorable Prime Minister was wrong to have contested the General Elections when he is aware of the Laws of the Commonwealth of Dominica with regards to persons with dual citizenship. He is also aware of the implications for so doing. He is so aware of his wrong doing that he acted post haste to denounce his French citizenship after the fact. In his case he breached the Law knowing it was wrong to do so, and acted recklessly with his pronouncements. He should be aware that while Dominicans appreciate his good work for which he must be applauded and commended, wrong is wrong. Now the matter is before the courts and let us see how the moral authority of true and unbiased jurisprudence will handle this matter? Let’s wait and see if the Honorable Law Courts can be trusted? Let’s see if the constitution of the Commonwealth of Dominica will be upheld in the high esteem and with the legal and moral authority with which it was built? Respect for the Law is not a choice, it’s a moral responsibility and when the leader of government breaches any instrument of the law…he/she is not above the law. Let our coonscience guide us…this is a tremendous loss for Dominica.
I thought the matter is in court. If you guys have proof wait for the court too deside.If in case Skerit resign the DLP has alot of brilliant guys so I don’t worried.By the way ill be landing at night next year no over night in PUERTO RICO.GOD BLESSED MY COUNTRY
sout u could have been landing in an international airport… good luck with the night landing ting… tebeh
You are one of the wise guys of DLP? I see you cannot spell too! I wish you a perfect landing.Buy the way I go to DA frequently and never had to overnight in PR why do you? Moreso Atlanta is more South than NJ where I am. No one overnights in PR why you? Evidence of another unwise guy from Skerrit’s Labour not the real Labour party.
SMH at the stupidity and absurdity that Dominicans become part of. I hope the comments on DNO do not reflect the majority of Dominican people, cause if it did … IT’S NOT A PRETTY PICTURE
The comments here are so anger based, biased and follows a trend of…let’s show the world how Dominicans never move forward.
This election has divided the country and it seems to going heading to a climax. One party is trying to instigate fear and unrest.
One is trying to move the country forward but taking dangerous short cuts
At the end of the day…. none of them is for Dominica…one is for BLUE and one is for RED.
I wonder when the true Dominicans will open their eyes and instead of fighting try to move the country forward.
Maybe my opinion doesn’t matter – but even though i am Canadian, I AM DOMINICAN and my interest in Dominica is for my fmaily back there…not for those sitting in foreign having the so called better life.
So it’s up to the residents of Dominica to stand up and take back Dominica form ALL the crooked RED, GREEN and BLUE politicians
Well here it is Dominica has a ruthless Dictator Now….hmm churches were all bought with monies and cant come to the rescue…
The Opposition has a Mega task on their hands and need to think of Plan C,D
Hard Global Letter Writing Campaign can drawn World Attention and Can and is a way of Getting some kind of Economic Sanctions on Dominica….this Guy needs to Learn the extremly Hard Way
Talk and Protest gathering is just bouncing off the Wall…
Someone or some grouping in the Law abiding setting in the minority needs to take a extremly quick stand..and dont think ease up at all during the Xmas season…
This Period on our History is really going to Prove is Dominicans are cowards or men of Strong Belief not by radio chatter!!
Dominicans should take a que from Mamo she was a woman and took a bold step..
Jerry alone cannot do it…many have to come onboard..
And please stop talking it wont work…think of what the guy said chatter makes him more eager to Lead….wow….Dominicans please take a bold step now!!
You people seem to think that other countries is much better than Dominica and it’s government. All of allu overseas seeing more misery than dominicans. Yet still most of you are here posting a bunch of shit
Who said that other countries are much better than Dominica? To only a certain degree. Dominica has many advantages. Other countries also have many advantages. I always state, none are to be compared with each other. Each one has unique qualities.
People overseas have as many concerns and anxiety about politics, crimes, cost of living, higher taxes and the list goes on.
They may see matters in a different light. Residing in specifically bigger and progressive countries, they may have become broad-minded due to exposure to such matters, what they have heard, read about through the general Media and due to the experience.
People abroad are not seeing more misery. Who are they you assume are posting a bunch of s…?, a word which you should never use. Be respectful.
Face it, everyone thinks differently. There are no two people alike. They should all practice this: “Free to agree and disagree amicably.” You would do well to adopt it.
Dominicans overseas still take an interest in their country. Thanks to DON they are able to do so. Do not try to deprive them of this privilege. In any case, you are not able to do so.
Trevor Johnson, you one every message board known to Dominicans talking a bunch of … Not Trinidad that is your home????
Hector Jack… need to get a darn life and stop being a wining toy soldier
Dominica is in deep dodo if this is the attitude our leaders.What is even more astounding is that the average citizen seem to think,that the prime minister violation of our constitution is ok.Once we begin to make exceptions about who can and cannot violate the laws.Dominica is at a crossroad right now and our very freedom is at stake.Again the point is not whether we want UWP to get in to office,aint gonna happen right! But labourites ask yourselves is Mr skerrit the best you have to offer in a position of leadership.If your answer is yes then you are complicit to the violation of the nations constitution.GOD HELP DOMINICA!!!!!!!!
Well papa!! That’s all we can do in dominica? just conffusion all day and night? hell yeh!! If we can take these times and think as one to work together just like the chinnies and japs then dominica will be more advance and there we may see more progress in our own land!! People forget about Mr Skerrit and what he did cause he will not give up easy like that without r fight!! So lets just pull our selves together and work together and head for futuer developments, Just remember time is longer than twine and Mr skerrit will one day be long gone and someboddy else will be there!! So just be at you’ll best and always pray for better tomorrow to come with r meal un everyones table cause Mr skerrit can’t and will not help to place meals un everyones tabble!! What he did is wrong and he should know better and think twice before he make r further step ahead!! Wen ever you do wrong it will always meet with you face to face at the center of attraction!! wow!! so hurtfull to see r young leader so proud and highly praised by his followers broke the edges as that! I still forgive you cause we all make mistakes my friend!! Go in peace and ask for forgiveness to the lord then appologize to the Dominican public officially and that’s where the nation will love you even more!! Do you remember the story with president Clinton and Monica Luwinski!!??? Just put this in mind Mr PM!!
Mr. Skerrit the issue is not about mandate but legitimacy. Are you the legitimate leader of Dominica? That is the question the courts have to rule on.
You said that ‘.If an election were to be called in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015… in 2025 the Labour party will be returned to office with a resounding mandate again,” he said.
The UWP has said it will hold a ‘people’s assembly’ on Friday outside the Financial Centre in Roseau to protest Skerrit’s “illegal election” to office, among other issues.
“These attempts to create unease and civil unrest in Dominica will not work because the people of Dominica are seeing through the selfish attitude of Ron Green, Edison James and Hector John,” Skerrit said
Thease are very irreponsible statements by you…you are the one that is inciting riot and unrest, You have lost your legitimacy.. There is a lot more to come out on you. I am prepared to wait for the courts. .Either way you are done..Lets hope no one gets hurt or killed on the streets in the process..
well said my boy, well said. mister running a hypocrisy, not a democracy.
Skerrit must stop speaking his nonsense and deal with pertinent issues. The call for his resignation was not and is not based on the mandate he got in Dec. 2009 nor on performance. It is based on CHEATING or BRAKING THE LAW OF THE LAND. I do not know what Skerrit means by “The way we have been able to manage the affairs.” Do you think Dominicans are so stupid? How have you manage our affairs? Yes, you have the world looking at us because of your curruption; your investment is more than you salary; You declared Bird Island as the rightful property of Venezuella without the knowledge of the general public. Who knows what you got for it? You seem to be trying to use the report that surfaced last weak reguarding the surplus. However, I am not fooled by that because if my 25 year old son brings a lot of money home and cannot tell me how he got it I will conclude that the means is illegal. So yes, a surplus is possible but what have you been doing that we do not know about? How could you be such a good PM and Dominicans continue to leave in poverty and most have to depend on you and your Red Clinic to give them Turkey and Ham? My understanding of development leads me to believe that unless the people are better off then their is no development. Building Roads where nationals are not employed, Widsor Park where the people were not employed, spending so much money on Melville Hall to accomodate WINAIR and their 13 passangers cannot be seen as development. Only dumb fools will swallow that pill. Bye the way, you are the government of the day and who do you expect to do stuff? Patirick John did when he was in power, so did Miss Charles and Eddison. Infact UWP did so much in 4.5years that the late PM Rossie Douglas said on DBS Radio after the 2000 elections that they did not lose it because they did not perform because they performed. During the said elections he went as far as saying that he does not know where they are getting money from. When UWP paid for land for the international airport your main body, Tony Astaphan expressed similar sentiments. So I don’t know what you are talking about. We want you out because you have set a very bad examples for our young people because your dealings have implied that laws anot to be respected as long as they have money they escape. That is wrong and that’s why I want you out!!!
There are a lot of douting thomase’s,blinders wearing,ulawful and uninformed DA folks out there.
Love you PM. You there already, you will stay.
Remember what happened to Aristide? Let the PM keep up. How much can one country take from one man.
Ok, allyou heard the man, so take him to court allready and stop runing allyou darn mouth.
As long as de man birth certificate say he born in DA i have no problem wid dat. De man is Dominican. Give him a break, he doing a fantastic job wid de economy, education and health. Dat wat matter.
Health… how much has been really done to improve the health sector. There is a lot needed that has yet been done. Just recently a a well known doctor and local entrepreneur was turned down from opening a medical school in his homeland. Think of the possibilities. More options for medical education on the island, locally owned, a lot more young people may have the opportunity to get into medical school hoping that it is not as expensive as the others. And with that, in future Dominica may have qualified doctors in various fields. How long do we need to continue to endure high expenses to travel overseas to receive medical care. Further more Just as Ross university is doing, it creates more job opportunities and more investment and development within the area the university is built. The reason for turning this project down was that there are already 2 medical universities. If that was the real reason.. well alas
that pic of the pm is so cuteeeeeeeeeeeee
tht don’t mean i support his action though, just saying he looks cute.
as a labour supporter honorable pm please make yr statements to dominicans and not just yr supporters because u are here not just to serve yr supporters but to serve those who do not support u also
@ trevor johnson
i am not saying that i support the pm. i have read part of the constitution that havebeen posted here and from what i understood the only way tht the pm will not be able to contest is if he is given jail time or more than one year. now do you really think that is going jto happen.
The real is JULIUS TIMOTHY
Liar,liar,@…s.. on fire,run but u can’t hide!Stop runin from the issue n just answer the questions bein asked!
Will someone please remind me of the number of PASSPORTS our dearly departed Prime minister used to boast about If my memory serves me right he often boasted that he held six passports mainly from non aligned countries.
When the late Pierre Charles stated that Dominicans were wearing their ignorance as a badge of honor, he was castigated and ostracised for insulting the nation now every fool in opposition to PM Skerrit are using that exact quote to justify their folly
So what if PM Skerrit resigns the vitriol will only be directed at his successor, this will never stop until the UWP gets into office and the great Journalist gets the job he so desperate craves. Ambassador to the U.N
SKERRIT YOU HAVE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION AND STOP SAYING THAT DOMINICANS LIKE YOU AND AS SUCH YOU CAN CONTINUE TO LEAD.
IT IS NOT A QUESTION ABOUT LEADERSHIP OR DLP. IT IS YOU AND YOU ONLY WHO WE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT.
I WILL VOTE FOR YOU AGIN , BUT PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE TRUTH IN THIS MATTER. I CANNOT GO ON LOOKING AT YOU IN THE EYE UNTIL THIS MATTER IS SET TO REST.
I want to see what you all Dominican fools will do when Skerrit resigns. Continue to encourage Skerrit in corrupt behavior and don’t begin calling wrong, wrong. Time is already telling and more time will tell. NO LIES WILL LIVE FOREVER!
SO war crimes … US government trying to stifle the messenger no one is getting punished for it…
AND IN DOMINICA….. THE MAN THERE SAYING HE NOT RESIGNING… WHY CANT HE SAY “I NEVER HAD DUAL CITIZENSHIP MY FELLOW DOMINICANS THOSE THINGS U HEAR ARE ALL ALLEGATIONS”???????? WHY THE F########### CANT HE SAY THAT?
WHY DOESN’T HE EVER ANSWER THE QUESTION? ALWAYS TRYING TO USE PRETTY BOY TACTICS..
did y’all really think that politics is the boy scouts….
I dare you to point on ONE honest politician! you better not try to point at UWP!
It is sad to see the comments posted on here and even sadder that you my people don’t see the point at hand. This is not a DLP issue or a UWP issue, it is a CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUE. The FACT is that a crime was committed and that he acquired his current position fradulently. Think of it – so many people out there still claiming Barak Obama wasn’t born in Hawaii (thus saying he isn’t a born US Citizen) others are saying that because he lived in Indonesia as a CHILD he isn’t eligible to be president, and that because he had dual citizenship, again as a CHILD, and which he gave up at 15yrs (his dad was British, his mom American) he wasn’t eligible to be president. We all accepted that these people are foolish because we have proof that the Obama is a US Citizen, we have proof that he gave up his British/Nigerian citizenship as a teenager, waaaaaay before he even went to law school. Do you think that if for ONE minute someone comes out and says Obama isn’t a US born Citizen or that he only gave up his dual citizen a year AFTER he became president that he would have feet to stand on to say he not resigning? Do you think that for one second he would remain in office despite his hundred of thousands of supporters?
We all know that would not be the case, yet the Prime Minister of Dominica violated the constitution of the island and you idiots are sitting there patting him on the back. I could sit there and not care because I became an American citizen years ago, but fact remain I AM a dual citizen and Dominica IS my home country and it is very sad to see the state of affairs in which we are currently. There is so much political wrong doing, so much political bias and even sadder so many Dominicans who refuse to come foward and say when wrong is wrong.
I pray that for the sake of Dominica, Dominicans open their eyes and stand up for what is right before it is too late.
u calling the pm voleh what about all what u use to voleh on the base so u are a damn voleh too idiot.
Skerrit full of COCKiness
dominicans so simple minded, they dont even know dat someone can hold many different citizenships! i myself is french from born & i got a french passport & i also got a dominican passport!! how do i get it??!! simple from my mom which is dominican!! so i dont see where is the matter, i didnt even have to ask her for her papers, i did all the requirements !! someone can hold different citizenship as long u have respect !! so i half french & half dominicans, where is the matter?????
you are an idiot ,no one ever said you can’t have more than 1 passport. the stems from the fact that the constitution states if you are a dual citizen you can’t run for public office unless you renounce the one that disqualifies you before the time of running for public office. if you don’t understand something don’t fing comment. gas man.
Yers I it is so obicious that you do not comprehend the issue at hand! How does one explain this matter to people like you? It does not even look possible.. OH boy ignorance is something else.. Boy, boy Boy. I could never dream that Dominicans could be so darn ignorant.
MR SKERRIT: Power has caused you to lose every sense of reason..You are not the ultimate decider who determines whether you resign or not..You supporters dressed in red are not the ultimate deciders who will determine whether you resign or not.It is not a position of strength 18-3 which will determine whether you resign or not.It is not according to you whether Dominicans are seeing through the selfish attitude of Ron and co.,Even if i’ts just half a brain you have left,because of you countless sleepless nights, you should understand that if you have trampled upon the constitution,if you have relegated it to irrelevance,this is unbecoming of you as PM,who had sworn to uphold it,and it’s the power of the court and the people that will cause you to resign.It’s not only the opposition calling for your resignation either.Level headed Dominicans are also doing so.
You are now the biggest distraction to Dominica’s progress and development presently Sir,not the opposition..The opposition hates civil unrest,but you are the one fuelling it…REMEMBER YOU ARE NOT THE ULTIMATE DECIDER DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT YOU RESIGN…IT IS WE THE LOVERS OF WAITIKUBULI….
Do u have a french passport? did u revoke your french citizenship?
u spoke but did not answer the question. or, u said nothing in relation to that. tell us sir.
Many of these comments confirm that too many of us Dominicans are lawless and do not give a rat’s paradox about law and order. We should now close the jail, abandon the justice system. Everything goes as long as people love you… What an embarrassment for Dominica
Amen to that!
I second that as well.
We got your back Mr. PM. Let the losers talk because that’s what they do best. We need you to focus on the country. No time for the distractions. They even fabricating information in French now…That is a knew low for the UWP. Sprags, when will you ever learn? I guess you are learning something negative from those losers you call your mentors. What a shame.
The issue is, did our dear PM broke the law or not? if he did then he must suffer the consequences.. it’s very simple. the PM must lead by example and uphold the law at all times,. Nothing to do with how he lead or how much he is loved.
togeather youall will go to jail
AND………… above all things May God continue to give you health and strength along with alot of wisdom. may He bestow His richest Blessings upon you.!!!!
He did not wait for God to bless him he took the riches way before God even decide to do so
God working to slow. The boy must get rich quick
God does not bestow blessings on liars, remember, thou shall not lie.
well said Mr. P.M. i have rallied behind the labour party from youmg and i must sasy that Mr. Skerrit and his party is doing a great work in this country. whats eating the mas majority of workers is that THEY’VE GOT ELECTION FEVER. So the best medicine for them is 2SKERROMOL.
MR.Skerrit continue working for the bvettermebt of our sweet country and
We are in th clutches of satan. i really want to see what the pasters will say when the manifestation
comes . The paster with the gift of vision is deffinitly not in touch with God, cause some thing bad is coming.
where is the paster who made the disabled man get up and walk are they not guided by God.?
Spy What or who is a PASTER
I must say i look forward to reading DNO on my lunch break. It is cold outside in NY and what better to do than get a good laugh at the expense of my brothers and sisters in my beautiful land call Dominica. You guys must remember the PM is human and is allowed to make mistakes. I am not taking sides because my vote would not count in DA but my roots are still in DA. If i had to grade the PM i would give him an A for bringing people like me back to Dominica to spend our hard earn us dollars. I have read alot of negative stuff on the internet but i haven’t seen any proof. I cannot go by what i hear Hector and green say. lets come together and make DA the place we all know it have potential of being. If Hector don’t like what is going on he can go back to NY to his one bedroom apt in the south Bronx. My fellow new yorkers can relate. Skerrit is in the driver seat for now so our best bet is to seat and enjoy the ride i think it will be a smooth one base on what he is doing with the grants we are getting. The PM must really love DA to be going thru this day in and day out.
good talks my brother
are u saying that the pm contesting election ( and staying as PM) was a mistake?
Chica… dating a stupid man willingly is a mistake.. spilling coffee is a mistake…. putting the wrong clothes on is a mistake…. feeding ur dog with cat food is a mistake… getting something wrong on an exam is a mistake … BUT FOR GOD’S SAKE HOW CAN BREAKING THE LAW BE A MISTAKE… ESPECIALLY WHEN U ARE THE PRIME MINISTER OF A COUNTRY????????????? THE MAN SUPPOSE TO KNOW THAT LAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MY GOD HUMAN BEINGS ARE SO IGNORANT. RIGHT IS RIGHT AND WRONG IS WRONG.
well said
As a fellow new yorker, I think you are speaking for yourself. This guy needs to go to jail what more proof do you need?? Stop being an idiot. I came to Dominica voted for these guys and now hate myself for it
You would too if you had free reign to lie and steal with impunity.
Stop sitting on the fence and make a choice.
We have to go by principles, Mr P.M you know well its not about what Edison ,Hector and Green said it is about what you did.You are trying to shift the focus,you have violated the constitution and the right thing to do would be to find a good leader for the party then step down.Just face the consequences we will parden you. Please stop saying U.W.P wants to be in govt there is no need for elections just a change of the leader. I think Mr Timothy will make an excellent leader he is intellegent,has experience and is qualified to hold your ministry just work with him, please.
we all make mistakes, satan was the most loved angel in heaven and he fell, so who are we.
remember your famous quote god is good all the time,all the time god is good.
To Spy
I am quoting you: “you have violated the constitution” bla bla bla bla! My question to you is, who gave you the right to pass that judgement? If the Prime Minister, himself, is advising members of opposition and those who have accused him to make sure that they have concrete evidence and a sound debate or argument to support their claims against him, where did you get yours?
I am not a psychologist but the PM is not convincing at all. In fact one can sense that he is admitting guilt. He says he will not resign and his only reason is that the people gave him the mandate to lead the country. So his only reason for not resigning is because he was elected “ Overwhelmingly”.. I believe that the people voted the labor party not one man and the PM is essentially implying that he is the messiah of Dominican politics.; that no other person within the DLP can be PM. Wrong!!!!!.
The PM has this attitude of Entitlement and he is so wrong because we have a constitution that everyone must adhere too. Whether or not 50 thousand people like skerrit the law takes precedence. Again the arrogance of the PM is continuing to be more damaging and insulting. “ No constitution , no law can prevent I Roosevelt Skerrit from getting nominated” – such arrogance.
“ In spite of breaking the law and being negligent the people like me so I shall not resign “ What a narcissistic idiot.
well said pm well said hector canot manage the cow and goats he have is da he want to turn to hell
The issue is not Hector Spags John but whether Roosevelt Skerrit violated the Constitution which he swore to uphold and protect. Please try to face the real issue. Summon up the courage to do so.
SKERRIT THIS PIECE OF RUBBISH,IS STILL NOT BIGGER THAN THE CONSTITUTION..ONCE YOU HAVE VIOLATED THE CONSTITUTION,YOU CAN CONTINUE HAVING SLEEPLESS NIGHTS…YOU WILL RESIGN.!!!!
Didn’t Patrick John, who was more popular than you, said the same exact thing?.”I will not resign”.???…………..Power tends to corrupt indeed…….Absolutely.
Let me tell you what’s “absurd” and “ridiculous”,EL Skerro, …Your own words and action,when you arrogantly stated that..” no law” and “no Constitution”,can prevent you from running for office in the last election,when you clearly knew for a fact, that you were a Citizen of a foreign Country. A clear violation and breach of the Constitution and the Laws of the Commonwealth of Dominica…..None the less, you went right ahead.
The reckless, and blatantly arrogant way,in which you viciously and maliciously violated and undermined The Constitution and the Laws of the Country . And the exhibition of such contempt is valid and sufficient grounds for your immediate resignation….If per chance, you, at anytime between then and now, you have mustered any semblance of respect for the Constitution and Laws of the Commonwealth of Dominica,and its People, you should bow your head in shame,ask for the People for their forgiveness, and tender your resignation from the Office of the Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Dominica……forthwith……Nothing more,nothing less….
Yes the People gave you a mandate because they were ignorant of the facts and information that have now….in other words if they knew then what they do now, i am quite sure the results would have been very different……..
” THE AFTERNOON KNOWS WHAT THE MORNING NEVER EXPECTED”….Always…..
Thank you very much….
All the Best to you……..
do worry he have to go
The PM is right. Place the evidence before the courts. Let the courts decide whether the PM, Ron and Peter should resign .
The matter has been before the Court since Janaury 2010. It is therefore unbelievable that Roosevelt Skerrit and others are asking for the Opposition to take the matter to Court.
I suggest that this so called protest outside the financial center should be stopped immediatly
In the event that the members of UWP party( Under Womens Panty) decide that this is an opportunity to cause mayhem and distraction I suggest an immdeaite stop be put to this charade.
what do you mean by “under womens panty”?, This is an insult to women, please have some respect for womem. I guess your mother is not a woman.
That’s right Mr.PM. Tell them they can jump high, they can jump low, you will remain the because it is the Dominican people who put you there and only they shall remove you. And I personally don’t see the opposition’s point. Even if you resign, you are still eligible to contest the by-election in your constituency and I am positive that you will win. Tell the opposition to come to Macoucherie on Sunday to see how strongly we Dominicans are standing behind our PM. LABOUR POWER!!!
OK SO IF PM RESIGN AND UWP GETS IN, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE A MONSTER GOVERNMENT WITH 3 HEADS………RON………..EDDO………AND SPAGGS????? BOY LENOX AND MATT WOULD LAUGH
LOL LOL
YAH good WAYPONSE! Hector Can call for the resignation no problem! But if we look generally at DA’s Politics who else can lead? and even if the PM resigns, how beneficial is that to UWP! I Stand firm, we need a new party to form within the next 4 years, so wif all the allegations thats going with the current party We the people has an option!
Currently there are no Other Political Party in the Country!……It seems The PM Hurt them so bad they cya get over it. Am still waiting for them to tell me what’s their plan for the country? how they plan on reducing employment,generationg more economic activity on a whole?etc………..
ooooooopssssss, I have Interrupted!
Hey, heyyy, look roro.
Is dat self Domnik. Ou kay bon. Heeyy, Heyyyyy!
You gotta love the PM even though we have tried to break him, confuse, distabilize and confuse him. All the ammunition we have just keep falling poof.
But we as UWP have to keep up the fight, because he just said he is going to make our UWP suffer till 2025.
lennox I don’t want you to get old in this politics game and do get in power, so I holding court for you on DNO
But, but, but Hector doh realize is a trick d top brass of UWP work on him up to now man?
Boss dem man give you a little post to make you feel important in the mean time while Ron fighting his case in court to be returned as the elected parlrep for La Plain and to retake the leader of the opposition position!! What does that tell you? You are not fit for the position of PM. Now that puts you in the very same category of Pappy. And UWP doh want you to ever cross d floor to join Skerrit where at least you can get some training from madam speaker to meet and greet dignitaries that matter.
Come you just come you want to play heavy: you want office, you want secretary, you want fax machine – a piece of technology that soooo long outdated, you even want state car with number plate that reading: OL001. Boy what is your problem? Up to now you still doh realizing that when you have a black belt in your waist you have to wear a black show and black socks; you breaking all kind of dress code rules as if is pappy show wedding you always playing. So much people that does laugh you when you on d bus and when you walking round town.
That is why I myself have to laugh at you when I hear you calling for Skerrit to resign because everything about you is a comedy. You were so good at being an MC for calypso shows I doh know why you not sticking to what you do best. Trinidad has Paul Kings Douglas; you should be shoulder to shoulder with that great Caribbean comedian.
u are too funny….lmao!!!
Patat I agree with you, Hector john is just a darn power hungry fool. The man go to the US, get a degree in computers, then come back thinking he can run a country his own party left in Chaos.
The opposition shall oppose… that’s their duty. Otherwise, they won’t be doing their jobs.
The PM shall lead…. that’s his duty. 18-3, by the next election it will be 21-0. Yet, We still need the Opposition…….. to do what?????????????? OPPOSE!!! that’s their job.
Go Skerro!!!
true true
Well said sir .. Keep fighting the good fight for the people who put u where u are ….. UWPweee!!!!!!!!!!!! LoL !!!!! Dem fools can chat all dey want
Skerrit,
You were not elligible to run for office in 2005 and 2009. Therefore, you are an illegal minister of government.
He will always find it rediculous. No man brings down himself.
Well said my Prime Minister. Who is Hector John and Lennox Linton. They can jump low and high but they cannot touch you. Anytime election call you must win. They realise nothing can remove you as PM so they coming up with all kinds of things thinking people will bite for it.
LEAVE MY PRIME MINISTER ALONE. ZOR PAKA TAN
SKERRIT KEEP EVADING THE QUESTION OF WEATHER HE WAS A FRENCH CITIZEN AT THE TIME WHEN HE RAN FOR POLITICAL OFFICE?? IT IS SIMPLE, IF YOU WERE, THEN IT WAS ILLEGAL. SO SINCE YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO TELL THE TRUTH IT IS NOT ABSURD TO ASK YOU TO RESIGN.
IT DOES NOT MATTER NOW IF DOMINICANS LIKE YOU,,, OR HOW WELL DLP IS DOING!! BUT IF YOU BROKE THE LAW?? AND THIS IS WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW.
SECONDLY, SINCE YOU HAVE ALL THESE COO-MESS IN YOUR CLOSET, DIASPORANS WILL NOT COME DOWN TO VOTE FOR YOU IN THE FUTURE , SINCE THEY ARE GENERALLY A MORE ENLIGHTEN PEOPLE.
HOW CAN THE POLICE, LAWYERS, MINISTERS, THE DPP, CLERGY, MAGISTRATES AND CIVIL SERVANTS KEEP QUIET AND SHOW NO INTEREST IN FINDING OUT WHAT THE TRUTH IS IN THIS MATTER? IT IS YOUR REPUTATION AT STAKE TOO!!! HISTORY WILL JUDGE ALL
IF THE RIVER IS DIRTY AT THE TOP THEN EVERYTHING BELOW IS DIRTY.
he is not evading the question….he said the matter is before the courts……when a matter is in the court it is not up for discussion…
me again
people i hope you guys read this. i am not a very sharp one but this one is so obvious my people.
heregoes.
iit is a fact that skerrit knew he was not eligible to contest. why did he do it? simple………..he reviewed the constition, ( he and his lawyers) saw that there were loop holes and simply took advantage of it.
HE WILL BE ABLE TO CONTEST AGAIN ……he saw tht from the getgo.
he’ll simply be fined hten get reelected in 2012
my bad is it 2015 i’m thinking in terms of 4 years as in america
hi as a dominican living oversee and allso have dualsitzenship of the u .s .a . and d/a , i think that this guyes in govterment shoud understand that if you take an oth to run dominica and you have been in power for the last 5 years what is the matter with this powerhungryguyes . dominica need to move forword, so we donot and will not let u for unable w for weeklin p for practising failor to dminica devlopment. dominican we need to give or pm or suport to keep moveing ahead godbless onelove
MAN U CAN HOLD MANY DIFFERENT CITIZENSHIP IF U WANT BUT I WANT U AS MY LEADER!!!
agree with u, they dont even know the french law, dominicans simple minded! gusssshhh, they dnt even know dat someone can hold different citizenship! me myself have dual citizenship & i dnt see where is the problem, i got dominicancitizenship from my mom! & i considered myself half dominican & half french!
and u are even more simple minded since u still do not understand the whole point… no on said u cannot have dual citizenship as a regular citizen… but the Constitution of Dominica clearly states that you CANNOT have dual citizensship and run for office
yes have some respect the man took something from ur father man .
No need to answer them PM, the massisve sea of RED on Sunday will do the trick
Long live our Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit. Oh we love, love, love, yes we do! oh we love, love, love not matter what they for we have living faith in you.
even if we lie, steal and cheat oh we love you, love you love you even if you steal and cheatt!!!!!
your day will come skewo!!! every pig has its saturday
did you test your blood pressure after typing this message?P,M business you minding will harden your arteries!kool out mate,stop pestering the man.
man i love that . from his constituency
oh yes… some Dominicans have no MORAL VALUES…. EVEN SOME OF THOSE WHO LEAVE ABROAD…and allu want to wonder why so many crimes happening in our country? look at our pm…
I hope u Love GOD like you love skerro don’t worry the word of God declares righteoussness exhauted a nation poor us in da everything skerro do is ok wrong or right eh lass where are our MORALSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
People there is only one God.. and thats the Almighty father in heaven. Thou shall have no other god but him. Skerrit has his good and bad. I believe he can do a lot for the country. He is making a difference positively and negatively. He is human and cannot be perfect. He emphasizes on education and tourism which I applaud him for. but he has killed the agriculture industry. which is a shame. cause Dominica and its resources are so rich and gratifying. I hope the agriculture sector revives soon before we loose any hope of retaining it. But back to my point… stop acting like skerrit is your god by making him feel he is above all. He has to be in check and know the people put him there cause they believe in him and they can take him out when he really messes up. Wrong is wrong. And he should be dealt with according to the law and be made an example of. If this is simply swept under the rug. Then all hope and pride and love for country is deteriorating.
The Vep for Votes elections put you there on form ground–no worries dictators like baby doc and al of them talk tough just before they make their extis…. You are so irreponsilbe you Illegal PM–People demonstating peacefully are inciting unrest !!!!! Sa Qua Volear.
LABOUR!!!!!!POWER
workers CAN’T STOP DISS
TA NA NA NA…. NA NA…. NA NA…..CAN’T STOP DISS
desi A…HOle this has nothing to do with workers ,freedom or labour….this has to do with LAW
BLAH BLAH BLAH, CRY ME A DARN RIVER. They make everything about the PM so please.
EXACTLY it’s a shame to see how blinded politcially were are eh lass
Well said PM. Ron Green and the rest will leave u alone. the people spoke in 2009 18-3; that killing Ron and dem. They out and Skerrit in so they vex.
Come Sunday we are going to celebrate our 1 yr anniversary. Nothing they do can and will break u Prime Minister.
The Italians need to come to DA to fight the fight for you all. LoL. What happen to Dominicans back bones? Wow…
stop being a nuiscance, it is clear that you are not ahead with the times
have you seen what is happening in Italy, which suppose to be the land of religeous and biblical history…. political unrest just ask belescuni
Curruption…. Just like da government!! When you are taking a … it don’t smell to you but if you were to walk in on someone else. You would gag!! So swim in skerro ..t!!
Merrick you must give DBS a share of your profits for all that money they making you make.
ADMIN
I know who you are (SMH). Yes, and CMC, and all the other media houses who LEGALLY quote from a media house and credit the info, like we do. Saw CNN quoting stories from BBC, and BBC quoting stories from newspapers.
Give me a break with this BS…DBS is state owned media which means when Skerrit talks to DBS he is talking to the entire nation including media. The rest of the media has every right to pick it up.
Why do people comment on things they have no understanding of.
That is a rather silly comment….unecessary criticism. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using information from stories broadcast or printed in other media. As long as due credit is given, it is acceptable and common practice.
CMC, for example, uses inserts from DBS and other stations across the region on a daily basis to write their stories.
Have you ever visited a TV Station specifically in the news programming department? All have every television channel of every country on, specifically one country having all the stations of other areas/province in that country. Reason for this is to get firsthand news of what is occurring, to relay to viewers/the public. Every one of them repeat news that was broadcasted and/or printed through other Media outlets. This is not surprising and no one should criticize others for doing this. It is the norm and to be expected.
Skerrit Sa Qua Volear—resign you illegal PM
2 things you may never see, that and …………………
You seem not to have respect for your elders, family or people on a whole. You acused the PM of being a volear, when people do that this is what they see themselves as so they try to hide using calling people the names that suits them instead of the people. So in that case, this might be your trait and your looking for a scapegoat to hide it. Have respect
Respect for a liar.Respect is earned not given or bestowed on to anyone. Skerrit does not deserve any respect.
so do u deserve any respect then?you shound like a fool
To Man
And who do you think you are to pass that judgement? However, I am sure you have given quite a few people, including myself, the reason to think the same way about you, based on your ill-mannered expression against the Prime Minister of your own country.
HE VOLEH LIKE YOUR MOTHER MAN THAT DIDNT CLAIM YOU
lol
hahaha!!
O Boy true say. I think so myself. I have experienced this myself. When persons calls you names without any proof, they are actually calling you names that suits them. And most times when they think evil or bad about you without prooof, it is because that is the way they would behave in a similar position. Man again you need to show some respect. Do not support the PM but respect persons so you will likewise be respected. Be respectful in your comments even if you don’t support the PM. Make some meaningful contribution on DNO. You might be thrust into position one day. Would you like persons to call you those derogatory names?
Respect I call for Respect for our Father, ourselves, Elders and everyone we come in contact every day. We can oppose without being disrespectful
ALLU CALLING THE MAN VOLEH? WHAT WOULD YOU CALL ALL OF THE UWP MINISTERS THAT WAS TAKING MONEY UNDER THE TABLE FOR THEIR PERSONAL USE? NOW THEY NOT IN OFFICE SOME OF THEM HAVE THE NERVE TO BRAG ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY THEY USE TO MAKE… DON’T GET ME STARTED.
Democratic process at work. Considering the courts are independent and unbiased.
well skeritt confident papa. he definitely knows somehting that they don’t.
i will say it again, even if he does indeed resign there is not rule in the contitution which says that he can’t contest again. so stop beating uo yoursevles people.
True say!!!!
That is true
If he resigns the court matter still goes on. If he loses then criminal action can be taken against him and the penalty could be a ban from future participation in the electoral process.
One thing I must say though, you people fail to see how this guy lies to Dominicans. He claimed that he got his citizenship when he was a child. You all believed him. Today, we are providing the evidence to show that he lied to you once again, but all you people could see is that he can win another elections! What a Nation!
One question. Was a crime committed? If so then a charge or jail time will prevent him from contesting again. Best i steal and when I am caught I should just return the goods and I will stay a free man. Is that the PM doing and it works.
