President wants general election forgotten

The President said the  general election is over
The President said the general election is over

President of Dominica, His Excellency Charles Savarin, has called on Dominicans to put behind them last year’s general election, push politics aside and move forward.

Speaking at the First Meeting of the First Session of the Ninth Parliament last week, the President said the politics of an election do not provide the environment for moving the country forward.

“One unwelcome feature on general election campaigns in our small island communities is a string of broken and hostile relationships they create and leave in their wake,” Savarin said. “The separation of scarce human resources and capacities into coloured camps of anger, bitterness, recrimination and disinterest does not create an environment for moving the country forward in the interest of all, no matter how attractive and seduction Manifestos and platforms may have been.”

According to him, the election is over and all Dominicans who love Dominica must reach withhin themselves “to find the magnanimity of spirit that truly places God and country first so that all hands and minds can work cooperatively in building the country.”

“And what better time to do this that as we enter the Lenten season,” the President said.

    Charles Saverind have to face his maker, and give account for his many many too numerous to mention sins of ommission and culpable sins. Charles Saverind if he was serious would step down from the post as President but he will not because he is what he is and woe to Dominica Charles Saverind have all the secrets in his hand he know too much so they have to repay him with the Presidency, even MaMo was afraid of, the political stunt man is he that President, the dishonourable President, mais ye pas malai avec zor, he President he getting his morney and he singing like a canary because he dere in de white house.and is dere he staying as de dishonourable President.

    If the President is serious about forgetting the past general election, he must start within the camp of the Skeritt led DLP. Apparently, he does not listen to the Kamala show along with the PRO of the DLP on Wednesday mornings. Many Dominicans including supporters of the DLP and I would not be surprised even Skeritt must be hanging his head in shame when he listens to the supposed Doctor. What has Hon Joseph Isaac’s face or Hon Lennox Linton’s disagreement with the Speaker on matters of interest to the people of Dominica, has to do with their characters or leadership qualities. Mr President, if you really and truly want the olive branches coming from yourself or the Prime Minister to mean anything , the Aarons, Regie, must come to the realization that the elections are over, we are in a period of lent, peace and love.

    Mr President how can we move the country forward when there are pending matters you fail to address. How can we move forward? Dominica is not the property of any political party. It belongs to all Dominicans. The more recent revelations about the Swiss Bank and the HSBC just proves that something is not right in our beloved country. Mr President you must use your brinkmanship to put an end to all that corruption that is plaguing our nation. Charles Savarin you as president have that responsibility to educate and enlighten the masses.

    After reading all 30 comments my conclusion is YOU SO PEOPLE ARE SICK!!!!!!!! SMDFH!!!!! If you all have nothing good to type best you stay away from commenting this is the world wide web, these comments represents us as a people and our level of discuss… You all make me sick to my belly.

    Note to DNO: Please do more filtering of the comments some of these comments portrays a level of HATRED towards the President of this beautiful island. The way the address him is also in poor taste!!!!

      Joe, wouldn’t it be more useful to ask yourself why all these bloggers feel so incensed by mr. Savarin’s speech? We are simply the messengers. We are not responsible for what mr. Savarin says in public but we have every right to comment on it because he is the head of state and supposed to represent all of us. Joe, if the head is sick the rest of the body does not function properly either. We have a serious credibility problem in this country and trying to cover it up will only make a bigger stink.

    This was a very timely Speech; an Excellent Speech with so many new members in Parliament who better that a person with that special talent and knowledge to address the House in such a manner. 1979 era was a time when Dominica was under serious problems and you needed people like the now President to stand up for the rights of the people. Here he is again in 2015 and again doing what is right for the people of Dominica. What a blessed man. I followed him throughout the years and he is yet to disappoint me. President Nelson Mandela himself a union man back in his days, did what was necessary including leading strikes in a different time. If we can admire President Nelson Mandela and I do, why not His Excellency The President, Charles Savarin? Nelson Mandela would have admired him, I am sure of it. And what did President Nelson Mandela do in the later years? He spoke Reconciliation. Thank you President Mandela and President Savarin. Time to heal, Elections are over.

    February 24, 2015

    My dear Honourable President of Dominica, His Excellency Charles Savarin, if you truly believed in the words that you have spoken, then you would have declined your appointment as President, because you are the most divisive figure in the history of Dominica’s politics alive today! Whether some are for you and agree with your 1979 destruction of the Dominican economy, politics and society, or they may be against you and those 1979 actions – the truth is that you are a major structure of politician division in the country, and with you as President you have brought that Honourable Office of national unity into division and disunity! Will you resign, Sir, for national unity and development?

    Didn’t he hear Kelvar’s bringing up who called people ‘Postitute’..and how Lennox is a worse opposition leader than Spaggs during his speech on tne Carib Territory name change to have cautioned Kelvar that election has passed, leave all election rancor outside the house…all the DLP side supported Kelvar with infectious laugther…that happened a few moments after the President’s admonition to put the election behind us and moved on..If you are disrespected right in your face by your own kind…and you sat their and say nothing…do you expect us, the public, to respect you and your words.

    DNO, when are you going to tell these people to write something constructive and if they have nothing constructive to write, do not comment? These comments are boring. I bypassed the majority of them.
    You have some users who consistently promote and maintain animosity and hatred. This is not a good thing for people to do. It will eat their hearts up, making them unhappy and unhealthy too. If they do not know it, they should be told. I hope you post this comment for their benefit, if they will learn from it. Sadly, some are beyond learning.

      Facts you are the very last person who should try to dictate to DNO what they should allow on their site. If they were into censorship most of your comments would not see the light of day especially the nonsense you make up and write about Lennox Linton; when in fact you do not know the man, never met him!

      You know people like you do not know half of what is happening in the country, politics is a dirty business, but there must be reason in what we write. You Create issues which does not exist. I can burst a story wide open about two relatives in Wesley, and a situation in the last Election. One relative caused the arrest of the other, all over a place to sleep, in a place belonging to her late father and mother, rented for a political purpose. I will not say their names: I know who they are “but I doh calling dem name” it is too disgracefully, but that’s what happens when people accept free ticket to go to Dominica and Labor!

    It’s easier said than done Mr. president. How can one forget the bobol that was done to have this current administration still in power? Are we not humans? You have become so religious that you are encouraging us to forget the past just as the slave masters wanted the the descendants of slaves to forget the evil and barbaric conditions (hellocaust) they went through. The descendants of the so-called jews do not forget the holocaust. Those who are in power need to set the example for the nation to move forward. It is the present administration that has the nation divided as it is. You must look within before uttering anything to convince us as a nation. We are no fools.

    First of all, the picture of the person that occupies the seat of the president represents division, selfishness, and national unrest. So I will not even listen to what he is reading because I know it is not coming from his heart and is not part of his character. The man feels so guilty that he cannot even look at his audience.
    Concerning putting God and Country first, is Charles Savarin well in his head? Has he forgotton who was the mastermind of 1979? Can Charles Savarin aka Ayatolla, give us one example where he and the DLP ever put God and country first?
    Concerning his line on “no matter how attractive and seduction Manifestos and platforms may have been,” is Charlo making an early excuse for Skero and all the drawings and paintings he had on his manifesto, knowing very well they were fake? Is he trying to tell laborites that the reason they will not be fulfilled is because of the opposition? Come on Charlo skero likes the division so he can blame his failure on uwp.

    In response to a reporter’s question, the late PM Dame Eugenia, once famously responded that she believed bad elections are better than no elections at all. Should we let the jury decide whether we just had a bad election? Was it better than none.? As the old song goes , si oh tay Norway sar ou tay Kay faire.

    With my primary school friends years ago, we used a smelly plant called “zacasia ” to escape classes. Once you opened the pod no body could stay in the room. The late Johnny Cochran famously referred to the pink elephant in the room. And Just like the stinky zacasia you can’t ignore them because everyone knows they are there. Sometimes it is the leader’s job to address the elephant in the room just like my teacher addressed the zacasia by punishing the offenders. You just can’t have prayers with stinky zacasia in a room at lent or otherwise.

      February 23, 2015

      The problem with some of you is, you assume that the leader is always wrong. Where you people are concerned, he is never correct. It is impossible for someone to be wrong all the time. It makes no sense. Not even in God’s eyes people are always wrong. Note the type of debasing comments against the President and the PM. They project to me, those of you who do and there are many on this Website, are not nice people. Most of us D/cans who reside abroad, who access DNO and read your comments are disappointed in you. It is the same old story and repetition with you. I would ask, what else is new?
      The problem lies with you. You are the ones to change. You cannot go forward and you cannot enhance D/ca with this type of attitude. How can you live happily and peacefully if you keep harping on the same thing, over and over again? It becomes boring as an old broken record. You are not projecting a good D/can example. You and your comments turn off many people.

    Forgive, ah. You were one of those partly responsible for the down fall of Patrick John in 1979. Remember those words,” he must be removed at all cost. ” Have you ever spoken or forgiven him, since. Can you remember the following, “civil servants will not work, the police and firemen will not work, the nurses will not work, the teachers will not work.” Patrick had a family, have you ever extended some form of sympathy because of the suffering you and your cohorts brought on his wife and children. In your twilight years , you appear to be a born again Christian or Politician, we are hearing of forgiveness. When you have apologized to the many Dominicans who suffered in 1979, then and only then, you can talk about political forgiveness, for that matter, any kind of forgiveness. :mrgreen:

      Why should you move on? I have thought of this: because your face is not behind your back. It is in front of you. You are not walking back nor is your body. Therefore you have no alternative but to move on, to move ahead and to walk on to the future confidently, not negatively. If the latter, you will get nowhere and continue repeating the same words over and over again. You are the one who will frustrate yourself. Furthermore, you are not harming anyone but yourself in this stagnation of repetitiousness.

        This time around Skerrit had to clear the way to bring in two new puppets into his cabinet who people knew nothing about until Skerrit, the little dictator declared them minister of some “ting.” It is funny that he made a fool out of Athenia, and did not give her a ministry; She is not going to like this when she reads it, but with me I call it as it is.

        Nevertheless, after making a fool out of her for the past fifteen years, he finally put her on the ballet; she lost in Wesley/Woodford Hill to Bazil. Why didn’t Skerrit appoint Athenia minister of some “ting.” That is how nasty politicians are: forget Athenia, meanwhile she has made enemies with some of her closest…

    Charles, you hope that every crime, every wrong committed in Dominica must be swept under the rug! I suppose you believe that everybody in the country has forgotten the civil war you instigated in the country. Only people with shallow mind forgets. The retention power of many of us are infinite; we want justice in the country, you wish all Dominicans will wake up and forget the brutality, the lack of mere necessities to keep many alive, and the unemployment of more than half the country.

    If you are a Christian, as some claim, which I know you are not; you would have known the Bible teaches “forgive but don’t forget.” The lies, and victimization continues, the voters registration list remains contaminated, your government refuse to remove all the dead people from it. Should we forget the election was bought? I do not even know why anyone would call someone like you his excellency: excellency of what?

      Sir the bible does not teach “forgive but don’t forget.” The last time I checked it said “forgive and forget”. If you have the text in the bible that says what you wrote kindly enlighten me by quoting the verse/s where it is so that I can read it. And your are not God Almighty to say the man is not a Christian. That’s why God is who He said He is. When we make mistakes we can go to Him and ask for forgiveness and He does that. God did not give us the power to read one’s mind. So if the man said he is a christian you cannot say he is not. And in closing even though I still remembered what happened in 1979, we are in 2015. So learn to forgive and forget.
      Thanks

    The dishonestly of speech by politicians like Savarin and Skeritt has become a form of political culture. Remember the olive branch offered to the UWP, when you listen to Regie in particular, during the parliamentary debate, do you believe the offer was genuine. Since the last general elections, the UWP has been voicing their dissatisfaction with the results. In fact, the UWP has been contemplating criminal actions against the persons who allegedly had some kind of involvement in the dishonesty which took place on December 8th. Savarin is aware of the UWP ramblings and never though it wise to speak to the leadership of the party, low and behold, after all those months, we hear of forgive and forget. Like I said before, maybe, the man has become a born again Christian or Politician, now he is in his twilight years.

    Here we go. We can do all kinds of crap, tell the public lies, and decieve the masses. However once election is over we can forget all the evils and move on, only to repeat the cycle every five years. This is not the way to move forward. How about let’s take a new approach. Encourage debates during elections, speak to the need to make the voter list a bit more accurate, how about holding house members responsible to the public. There are a whole lot more the president could suggest. How can we move a country forward together when we insist on keeping the status quo, and have a political system and process that goes one step forward, then four in reverse. Our leadership is a big joke.

    SAVARIN, you have to much guts, why don’t you caution those ministers and that unruly speaker… but one thing for certain when the truth comes out about that rogue nation, I hope Dominicans will be able to deal with it

    I wonder if Charles Savarin took a good look in the mirror before making that speech.

    Charles Savarin, aka Ayatola, must stop playing his game. If he really meant what he said then why did he not tell Skerrit that the presence of his bully speaker for a 5th term represents a continuation of the same old politics that have kept us divided. Furthermore Savarin, if you meant what you said, then why did you not tell Skerrit that your position as president of Dominica will greatly affect national unity, especially with statements Savarin made national radio, the Christmas morning of 2010, and later when the house of GON Emmanuel was fire bombed? Dominica was divided way before the 2014 election and will continue to be so as long as Skerrit is in power and surrounds himself with political appointees who are not qualified but only there to cover their corruption. We have a very bright team in the opposition and you know a lot of stones will be uncovered. When they are out, don’t say is because of 2014 election

    After you all rigged every eelection since 95 you want people to forget. Have free and fair elections and we will forget. \

      Only a mandate by the people with their oversight will guarantee a fair election. In other words, the people have to get involved for no pay.

      say what he kept a what? was not aware he had a FACE. Ever heard the expression no face?
      These guys have no Hearts( they have pumps) let alone faces. If by chance they do their faces are crooked as their ways/ practices /deeds ur take reader. reminder- morphing into RED having been Green, land transfers without paying fees, passport sales and huffing the difference minus amounts due to treasury after making their own prices( their agents). Obviously, they give kickbacks to those who facilitate the process. to name just three.I can go on but every canwant knows the facts.

      DNO I wonder, will you censor it again?.

  37. February 23, 2015

    the president should be saying all legitimate cases off election fraud will be investigated and we will leave no stone unturned.this will send a clear message to politicians,the people of Dominica and the International community of the high standards of democaracy that exist in Dominica.He has not done this instead hints to hide all election bobol.

    As judge Judy often says, “I wish I was 5ft. 7inces tall”!. You can wish whatever you like Sir, but that election will not go away, never ever and Lenten makes no difference to it. It will not go away just like that fake application of the doctrine of necessity, which has now been exposed by the Privy Counsel as a travesty of justice.
