United Workers Party (UWP) Senator Danny Lugay has been kicked out and officially suspended from the House of Assembly.
On Thursday members of the government side overwhelmingly supported a motion for his suspension, arising from statements he made at a UWP meeting in Soufriere recently.
At the meeting, held on July 3, Lugay said that there are some people who “deserve to die” for keeping Dominica back.
The motion was tabled by legal affairs minister and seconded by agriculture minister, Matthew Walters.
“This is a prime example, madam speaker, where a member of the house must be sanctioned for his utterances,” Douglas said.
He said the people of Dominica would not forgive members of parliament if they “allowed this behavior to go unchecked…”
Prime minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, told the house the same actions would have applied, even to members of the government side.
He stated that if a member of parliament of a candidate of the Dominica Labour Party had made such a statement, a meeting would be convened to let that person know he or she has to resign.
“Because that is beyond what is acceptable in the political arena,” he stated. “And I hear people saying about it is politics, it is a political platform. So you can kill somebody on a political platform and say okay, it is politics?”
Speaking to DNO after the motion was officially passed, Lugay say the result was not unexpected.
“Whenever you have the majority in the house and a speaker who would go with anything, you can expect anything,” he said. “Once you have a speaker in the house that is not fair, you will have instances where there is no justice in the house.”
He noted that it is left to be seen what parliamentary rule was used to have him suspended.
The senator said it was a bit unfair since he had apologized to everyone concerned and to the house.
He said the matter will now be taken to the court of public opinion.
“My next move is to take it to the people in the sense that there is an election pending and the people will decide if they accept my apology or not,” he stated.
For days Lugay has been under fire for statements he made.
He subsequently apologized but many in the government say they believe it was a sham and have called for his resignation.
Lugay was arrested and charged with inciting the murder of attorney Alick Lawrence arising from the statements.
He was granted bail in the sum of $8,000 with one surety. Preliminary investigation is set for November 17, 2014.
The motion, tabled in parliament on Thursday, noted that his conduct was “unbecoming of a member of the house, untenable and has brought this Honorable House into grave disrepute.”
The motion called for Lugay to be suspended forthwith “from the service of this Honorable House until the final disposal of the criminal charge which he currently faces.”
When the motion was being made, members of the UWP walked out.
What is wrong with some of these two bit politicians that now infect Caribbean politics, with their drunkenness on power?
How is it possible, that so many years after emancipation from slavery, under Anglo Saxon rule, that we as a people continue to tolerate a breed of political parasites that offer themselves to serve the people, but end up making themselves our masters?
Did we not learn anything from Marcus Garvey, CLR James, Walter Rodney, Eric Williams, Alexander Bustamante, EO LeBlanc, our young people in the 60s and 70s, and even Bob Marley, who pleaded with us to free our minds from mental slavery? Have we as a people become complacent, and so comfortable, that some of these excuse for leaders are permitted to take advantage of us? Or is it that our institutions of learning have become so liberal, and infected by socialist thinking that what passes for education, is greater miss-education than was provided by our colonial masters? What a shame, given the depth and level of our intellectuals, who have excelled in every discipline globally. It is the likes of Roosevelt Skerritt and the rest of that enterprise that passes for governance in Dominica that create confusion in the minds of the weaker ones, and poses a threat to our full and complete emancipation. It was in some ways tragic listening to the members of the government side and their operatives, for the past weeks since Senator Lugay publicly apologized for some unfortunate statements he made during a political meeting, repeating on every program and radio station that his apology was not accepted, and that if his apology was to be accepted it would mean according to Anthony Astaphan, that people could go around killing other people and then apologizing.
The hypocrisy of the Skerritt cabal to attempt to insult the intelligence of those of us who actually take time to inform ourselves, by saying that had Senator Lugay apologized to the house the motion would not have been needed. Surely! Skerritt most of us know you jest.
We know the intention of some members of the DLP promoted by the Lebanese lawyer, who has now made his home in Western Florida, is to denigrate and destroy the character, and inflict as much psychological violence as possible on the children of former slaves who by educating themselves, in fact like the maroons, ran away from the Astaphan plantation, where you would rather they remain, bagging sugar, flour, rice, etc., sweeping your floors, driving you around, cutting grass at your home. That once you cannot manipulate them, you then direct your puppet to use his office to avenge your bruised ego. This is the sad state of affairs in Dominica, our government, through this Lebanese lawyer has declared war upon the children of poor black people, and so in their effort at humiliating Senator Lugay they along with the co-conspirators arrived at this travesty of Justice, in the name of protecting Parliament. Skerritt, you and your side kick Anthony Astaphan have it wrong! It is we the people who are in need of protection from your parliament and its speaker. I am however, consoled that there are still a few good people around, especially the youths who are registering in droves, so that whenever you choose to call the election, or the election calls itself, the people will evict you from the office of which you are a squatter.
CHANGE IS A MUST
Louis take a chill pill and learn to love Florida more and more.
I need to study Political Science, but this is a Dictatorship Government which we have in Dominica now. It’s time for change, “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
One thing I know, Danny never mentioned the word kill as sherrit makes us to beleive. Kill and die have different meaning.
Is skrit trying to say that if a man die at the hospital, the nurses killed him or the man killed himself?
That skrit is so evil that he need to get out! or taken out by his own police to the calaboose along with some others,
Yes This is really easy for Doinicans to vote the DLP out. If Pero , Rosie or even PJ was there it would be much more difficult for people to choose one or the other party because of what those men Stood for With Mr linton there would be a serious debating but not with skerro Skero is Scared he wont even debate.
hmm Danny should have never apologize he should have stood his ground and clarified his statement . What Danny said is that anybody who harm our country Dominica deserve to taken out by any means necessary I stand by that. Iam a Dominican patriot are you ? The only people that should be threatened by this statement are those who intended to harm Dominica. I guess by now we all know who they are
If someone was charged and found guilty for murdering lick or anyone else having taken Danny’s statement to heart then it can be proven that Danny incited the murder of the dead person. How on earth could Danny be charged with Inciting Murder? this charge will no stand in any court of law unless the court is influenced by the government.
This charge was brought against Danny orchestrated by Tony so that Danny will stay out of parliament (remember Mr. Bruney of the I P O) that’s the same strategy.
come on my people please do not react to these bait by the govt. the election must come lets not be provoked, they are looking to aggravate the Opposition into demonstration let us exercise restraint and deal with them at the Election.
They realize they are cornered, remember Skerrit speech when tony said lennox or members of the I P O let out his personal information???????? have you heard him recently??
if he knew he had given Toney all rights to let out his cat out of the bag why would he have call for the IPO members or Lennox to be investigated?????
Skerro will do anything he is advised to do by Toney and he is only digging his grave deeper. We waited for four years it is less than a year we can wait.
Well mr Timothy this time u will not get my vote and three others at my home makes 4 u guys are taking this too far it’s politics all of all u playing mr pm u have just send 4 votes from my home to mr Lugay Tim Tim sorry cant vote for u this time this is EVIL and WICKED
UWP should not waste their time with any court action, since both the suspension from Parliament and the criminal and civil court actions are just meant to distract UWP on focussing on itg goal to win the next General Elections.
I like all the comments, i actually love them, and will conclude with the words of the KLU KLUX Clan some years ago at a US court, its “Blacks killing Blacks Negroes killing Negroes” these statements were made by Mike Perdue when he was captured by F B I agent on his way to invade Dominica as a padner of P J.
What i would like at this time is that the politicians give the Kalinagos their full autonomy to the land they occupy, so they can be free from the political genocide that these Dom Afs.are enbattled in. Its a disgrace and shamefull to see two men who claim to be the most highly educated, to side and oppose each other for the benifit of two groups of people that care less for their population. when what they should be doing is to combine their expertise and effort towards the plight of their people.
Your name should be ‘Foul’ instead of Owl.
You really are an owl.. Your comment shows you went to school at nights.
Skerrit, Mr. Moral Majority? We go see when you call the elections. Tomorrow is a day away and tomorrow is a only day away Danny so please hang in there my friend. The election results will be our business Mr. Skerrit
On that day, you will have much to wail about.
In a deck of cards we have only but one ACE Mr.Skerrit. at work if you don’t respect the Boss you will surely get the sack. Lark of manners and respect , He got the boot plum like all the others in whenever will they ever learn.MINE you they still have supporters
Can DNO give the full statement of Lugay for context and intent ….
I seem to recall that Lugay,s language as reported then was to the effect “if it was not for being a christian etc similar to what many say here ‘IF IT WAS NOT FOR GOD we would do this and that ..including getting rid of someone ” very typical and collequially emotioanlly charged emphatic domincan language !This obviously was not a threat as this was introduced with but for being a christian !!
This was obviously a statement of total angry frustration !
Loose emotional talk of course coming from a very normally sedate gentleman like Lugay was occasioned by an emotional response to an issue .WHAT WAS IT ?..
This I believe is lost deliberately in the smokescreen of the denunciaition of Lugay .
What was he incensed about ? Was he seeking to speak out angrily to the extreme , political posture and of Alick Lawrence stance on electoral issues of the Electoral Commssion ? .WHAT ARE THESE ISSUES ?
Can we get the details on those concerns ?
This to my mind is equally or more significant if it caused such ire of the very stoic and normally unemotional Senator Lugay.
ONLY THEN CAN WE UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR THE SENATOR BEING TOSSED OUT OF PARLIAMENT
The unfortunate statement by Danny Lugay and the corrupt manipulation of justice by the Labor Party and Tony is further evidence that the entire governance system need to be dramatically altered. A revamped system should be focused on removing too much power in the hands of one man. One man can decide what police does, what the president does, te IPO,the electoral commission, te director of audit , the police, the magistrates, judges.
It s absolute absurdity tat the same man decides unilaterally what happens to te public purse and chooses to be opaque and non transparent in the affairs of An entire country and people.
Our mistake Roosevelt SKERRIT has magnified the flaws in our system of government. In addition looming dictators, scammers , disgraceful and selfish characters abound and posture for te loot and catch . We have seen pwer abse prior to Roosevelt SKERRIT however the abuse of power has gone from subtle to bold face and blatant. Our governance system makes leeway for orrupt politicians to change the rules of right and wrong on an ad hoc and self gratifying basis.
Many may not like what I say only because the truth offends the guilty but if common sense must prevail one man or a party in power is not the government system that I refer to. If one man and his government is deemed the unworkable Westminster system that is failing particularly the small commonwealth countries then to those who feel offended by my opinion I sincerely hope that you will join me when your favorite politicians are or is not the one abusing power and a using power absolutely.
the prime minister said madame speaker, madame speaker this country is to free, this country is to free. and she never stopped him or even corrected him.
some men operate like gods but they seem to forget we are mortals and are also subjected to change
Danny do not worry what goes around comes around .Only time will tell.
For how long are Dominicans going to aloow this illegalities to continue on their land??
Inch by inch your rights are being taken from you all. When it reach a mile you will have yourselves to blame for not doing anything now!!
I ready like Freddy i waiting for them…LABOUR WILL AND MUST GO
Thank God you are not the only D/can in Dominica.
Any individual not siding with the stance of parliament against Mr. Lugay’s action is no doubt ignorant about the seriousness of the statement made by Mr. Lugay. To try to compare such a statement with any other made in the past is ridiculous as the simple fact remands that those statement were not inciting violence and not considered an indictable offence. Mr. Lugay’s statement was callous and needs to be taken very seriously. Mr. Lugay is a victim of his associates as they have created a very toxic political environment that have people thinking along the lines of Mr. Lugays statement!
I can recall a lot of callous statements made by the prime minister and some of his ministers… so are you saying it is right when one set of people does it and wrong when its the other set does it. you should believe wrong is wrong and right is right.
just remember a phrase my grandma used to say. WHAT SOME HAVE GOTTEN KILLED FOR OTHER GET PRAISED FOR IT,,
true to her death.
The PM and his ministers did not say, “Some people deserve to die. If he was not a believer he would do it.” If you do not consider these words grave ones, then something is wrong with your brains. This is a case for an arrest, charges and imprisonment. How does one make reparation for such dangerous words? How would you like someone to say those words to you and your family? I bet it would be a different ball game.
when the pm said go to hell that was fine,stop being so biased wake up you blind duck.
@grell u are so right. he said we are too free and I didn’t hear no one saying he had to stay out of parliament neither.
Someone or some people must have annoyed him, putting it mildly. People do not make such a remark unless they were annoyed. Anyone can say go to Hell and they will not be arrested and charged.
Now, I am going to tell you, “Go to Heaven.” Hopes this help.
That pm has to lie to our face like that?!!! These members of that dlp administration are so arrogant and say many despicable things that they have never apologized for. They in no moral standing to sanction Mr. Lugay.
A man once told me he would burn me in the house if he has to leave. I left the house for the man. He is a believer and is in a reputable position just like Lugay. He did apologized and begged that i stay and that he was just joking. So many woman get killed by staying. We need people to put that passion into ending Domestic Violence cause no matter which party in power there is always going to be Domestic Violence.
tato tato – the power of the people is greater than the Government in power
This is what Dominicans have not grasped!!
We will see the power of the people when the bell rings.
That wasn’t called for. They did not have to throw the man out of parliament man. I am sure it have people from the other party who said things before and they did not have to stay out.
As I said before, When the PM finish with allyu, there will be skin left on your backsides!
I think the Las Doug is a hypocrite . Danny do not worry vengeance is mine says the LORD.
The Lord also said Thou shall not kill
Did anyone get killed.?
Lol
When regi talked about cow meat, uwp wanted to eat him but now the word die and kill was mentioned on a platform by a uwp member and it’s ok.
Skerrit and his little boys,you guys act like a bunch of little girls,desperate measures,this is a joke on dominica.
my friend Danny, honestly bro, that statement, “If I wasn’t a believer, I would take out some people in Dominica, you know,” he stated. “My heart is different and that is why I wouldn’t do it, but it have some people that deserve to die in Dominica. Honestly, when you see the sort of things that they do to keep back Dominica. is not Politics. being frustrated because you and your Party can not have things your way to continue assisting you all in bringing the Good Name of our beloved Island; The Commonwealth of Dominica down, why did you have to do this Danny, why?
Be mindful my friend Danny, Politics is a serious thing to the People. We look for serious persons to “LEAD” Dominica. My friend can you state why you took so long to apologise for your statement which you said bro, you said it “TWICE”, layman language, I take that to mean, “INTENT To COMMIT”. Why when as you said again, when you said it the second time; to ensure that you know what I’m talking about,
“If I wasn’t a believer, I would take out some people in Dominica, you know,” he stated. “My heart is different and that is why I wouldn’t do it, but it have some people that deserve to die in Dominica. Honestly, when you see the sort of things that they do to keep back Dominica.” once in Fond Cole and the other occasion was at Soufriere, right there you said it was brought to your attention, why didn’t you stand up like a man and do the right and “HONEST” thing and re-track your statement?
Why did you have to wait on persons on the Government’s side, and other civil minded people to call on you for you to react so swiftly the day after the Prime Minister call for the Police to get involved? Danny my friend, honestly, too long, too late. you have embarrassed yourself by even going to Parliament.
Ok, you still didn’t have the decent courtesy to even send an advance notice to the Speaker of the House informing her that you would like to make a statement even before the PM speaks and do the right thing and sincerely apologize for your actions? You see my friend, so many ways in which you could have down this.
DANNY I WOULD LIKE ONLY YOU TO FIRST RESPOND TO THIS GENUINELY.
The Speaker and Government Parliamentarians have no respect for the Opposition. They would have just embarrassed Danny further if he had done so in Parliament. Who gives anyone especially those who are not above board to the right to put anyone’s apology under the microscope.
Stop this pretense you are no friend to Danny, selective condemnation oh boy……..hypo…..
Apology or not the man is wrong. They will say things and next day they apologize. TO KILL is a very very bad to say DA we are seeing all the signs open up you all eyes.
In the bible when king David sin he said sorry but he was still punish there are certain things that we say and do that needs punish
Danny I love you but I think you deserve what you are now reviving
Just accpect you are wrong
And move on
“Teacher Teacher!!! Put him outside because he said something I didn’t like”
I love how comical this country can be at time.
What really controls the world , is money and power
changes only come with a revolution.
I fully understand given the condition of your brain.
Honestly this one is taking it a bit too far. As a born freedomite whose vote has made the difference in the last 3 elections I am saddened that this is what politics has come to. I honestly support most of the policies of the government but them man stretching a joke now. I’m still undecided as to where I vote or if I vote but these kinds of little-boy moves will linger in my mind when election is called.
The man do wrong. He said he did wrong and apologized. After that, for embarrassment police arrest the man and he have a court case to face. Then allu still want to run the man out of the house. And as expected his padnas follow him out of the house.
Honestly I did not see any men or women today in the house (both sides let me down). If I had the means, I would put myself in this political ring but unfortunately I don’t. Just a shame.
its time we as a people should forget bout political party and be mature enough to tell someone he/she is wrong,doe matter who that person is.lugay has been held accountable for his statement,if you guys really wants change it should start with u all,that include staying in the house and debate until you guys can do that there is gonna be no change.change is an option.
The debate which led to the suspension of Mr. Lugay was very interesting. I heard some statements made by the Prime Minister and other Ministers of Government which Dominicans should ponder on. For instance ,Blackmore stated, the opposition likes to fling mud.” When Gloria’s turn came, it was scary, because Mr. Lugay was in the Parliament all morning, she never said a word about his presence, but when afternoon came, she said, “because of the statement made by him, she was afraid to be in the house.” Charles’s criticism appears to be directed at men not women, when she said, ” what comes from a man’s mouth, comes from the heart.” Petter who some people claimed was a preacher remarked, ” no man is above the law even though Mr. Lugay had apologized.” In my opinion, the best statement came from Roosevelt,” THIS COUNTRY IS RAN BY LAWS, NOT BY MEN OR WOMEN.” Roosevelt did not stop their, he went on to say, ” someone wrote the apology for Mr. Lugay. ” The Speaker did not object to his statement. This fueled him to go on and he made, in my opinion, an untrue statement,” lugay has no regard for institutions set up in this country.” I almost fainted when I heard Roosevelt said, ” I have always asked my supporters to stay away from problems, ” yaa right. When the Attorney General time came, he had to be very careful how he interpreted the law used to suspend Mr. Lugay. He appeared to be sympathetic towards Mr. Lugay at first, when he said, ” two wrongs cannot make a right.” This was all the good he had to say on behalf of Mr. Lugay, because what followed afterwards was like a dagger. He said, “he must support the motion, because Mr. Lugay had sat in Parliament all morning and had not apologized to the house, therefore, his apology made to Dominicans, in his opinion, was not genuine. As far as he is concerned the rules of the house were breached.” I wish to remind the Skeritt led Administration of a saying, ” when your neighbor’s house is on fire wet yours.”
DNO must be very tactful in posting remarks or statements. The type of words or phrases used on this medium is lacking. Too much foolishness is tolerated. Many of those statement are lacking respect. No needs to delete or edit some of the statements before posting. We live in a democracy but we are playing too much games. This forum should be a learning avenue. Are there anything substance for the children to follow?
If the uwp wants to walk out… Let them. It shows unprofessionalism. And of these comments are really disrespectful and makes Dominicans appear to be a non sensible in the eyes of others. I am aware that politics makes most of us Caribbean ppl appear dumb… Anyways u still love dominica… And skeerroo will never lose
OuT oUt OUt. Go to Arrawak with Lennox to continue alu papy show.
“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.”
[Special Message to the Congress on the Internal Security of the United States, August 8, 1950]”
― Harry S. Truman
Their voice is not silent they are o q95 and other media seven days a week. However, the government has a responsibility to protect its citizens from harm.
UWP members should never walked out parliament doing this prove that they condone the statement Danny made. It’s not surprising anyway waking out of parliament is a habit and a bad habit is hard to change
skerro fly your kite but if u think u winning d election again u lie. change is a must. all u afraid? hehehe
Because Dominica is a small country, he could say whatever he feels like and get away with it? What type of example would he be? It is bad enough of already.
He is fortunate he is in Dominica. He could not have made such a statement and got away with it in especially a progressive country. He would have been told to resign from politics in general. I do hope it will lead to that. Such a person should not represent anyone.
Let this be a lesson to him and others, including some of those who comment on DNO, calling people derogatory names. How many of you are better than those whom you accuse?
I am a labourite , i am dissatistied with what is going on in the house. Dominica is for all not a few we are heading to be a communist country. Remember the labour party can be in opposition too would you like UWP to treat you so? My dear truth is truth there is tears in my eyes as a christian.
We most be true to God and not party. Jesus is the answer
We will see and not see, hear and not hear God is the answer dont allow him to touch us
@kimrah July 24, 2014 DONT WORRY GOD IS WITH YOU.
There we go again. God, God, God!
That is the problem with us, in Dominica; we are claiming God, but we won.t abide by His laws; and when we are faced with judgment, we are calling Him to be with us.
Well yes He is with us, for His judgment is what we are dealing with through His chosen servants–whether in Church, in Government, at work, at play, or any other social organization.
Lugay entertained the thoughts of his mind–to kill people–to the point where he speaks those thoughts, not once but twice, for the public to hear–he even goes as far as mentioning a name. Proverb 23: 7 says: “As a man thinks in his heart so is he”
If Lugay believed in the God in whom I believe in–he would not entertain that thought of his mind to the point of speaking twice–instead Holy Spirit would have commanded him to rebuked the devil who sowed that evil seed on the ground of his mind–which is to take the lives of someone or people–good Lord!.
Jesus tells us that once we continue to entertain any evil, wicked. or sinful thoughts in our mind–we have committed that evil, wicked or shameful thing; much more that we speak those words to a whole heap of people –O God please look upon your chosen people in Dominica
what am I reading. Only in DA that can happen. Can you all read, he said and I quote “some people deserve to die.” He did not mention names or political party. He turn around and apologized, his apology should be accepted. He did not say I am going to kill someone. I think he deserve a chance to be in parliament. The law in the island always stands for the ruling party. We have to take into consideration he did not mention any ones name. I think this was taken to serious. and it is pure insanity. I am afraid to come back to DA. What is the country coming too, where is our freedom of speech, is it taken away from us. is there a code of silence. Can you voice you opinion remember he did apologize.
TREMBLING BOOTS
He did say Alick Lawrence did not say a word, is these people the hurting Dominica and they deserve to die.
He was speaking about Alick Lawrence and others like him.
Stop your silliness
That is my point always. the man never said he was going to kill anyone, not chat,not chien ,no one! he said some people deserve to die.that is what the man said.
Trembling Boots, get a copy of the statement Danny made, sit and listen to it attentively, and respond again. remember my friend, Danny said, that he Danny had already made that same statement at a previous “PUBLIC” meeting. One could hear the sound of vengeance coming from him when he did so, and “TWICE”, this is cause for concern my friend, we call this “INTENT TO COMMIT”.
Sorry to call you by your right name Imbecile. Listen to the clip and you will here that at least one name was called. don’t try being naive by saying no ministers names were called. I know where you want to go with this one.
The apology made reference to the people of soufriere, the UWP party and supporters, parliamentarians, family etc…it is yet to make mention to Mr. Lawrence who the attack was directed to. So how sorry is he?
Boots you had better stay in America with your silliness and stop showing your badge……Palin will fix you up and your mouth will remain closed
Lugay that’s what happen when people get hungry for power. Anyway more powers to you buddy guard.
Eat anything but watch what you say!!!!
Danny was wrong for saying what he said. He apologized. Now the DLP has taken this too far. It is a political and legal overkill for which the DLP will suffer the consequences.
When we sin we go to god in prayer, yes he forgives us but we still have to be punished. Take for example Adam and Eve when they disobeyed and eat the forbidden fruit, god forgave them but God still kicked them out of the garden of Eden. People of Dominica stop the ignorance lets lift each other up in prayer instead of fighting over politics.
Dear Dominicans, can anyone tell me, what is going on in Dominica? Is Dominica a Democratic nation or a communist nation? The sitting Prime Minister said for the entire world to hear, that no law nor constitution cannot stop him from doing what he has to do, yet they turn to the same constitution to suspend Senator Lugay. What is going on? In the speech the President made at the opening of the budget session, he mentioned that the people of Dominica should not let past incidents stop the nation from moving forward. He knows what he did now he is sitting in the palace as president. The opposition themselves have no backbone, why are they allowing this government to continue to behave as if Dominica is a communist nation. Why are you as Dominicans accepting this sort of treatment. On more than one occasion I have heard people say that people don’t know who Skerritt mother is. I am asking this question, is his mother God? I think not. They will do all the evil they can to stay in power but there is a God, who sits up high and look down low. Soon and very soon, the good Lord will take this government to task by removing them from power. I can no longer support someone who is bias, what is good for the goose should be good for the gander. Mr. PM, release the people of Dominica for the spell you have them under, if you don’t the wrath of God will smite you a powerful blow that will resound through out the entire world.
This all could and should be avoided by this man he should have stayed out of the siting and the house took the right step and for one I dont see how the party expect to win the harts of the people when they are just not representing the people as a dominican were you intimidated by the other side and if thats is the case how do you site state your case to the world leaders just a thought
But team Dominica talking bout integrity and good governance on Q95 24/7,now the DLP do what they should have done.punish the vagabond ..they vex..Dominicans must be careful of these outlaws…amazing to hear the top brass of the UWP say that the DLP never apologize for saying bad things and embracing Danny for his comments…A political party who want to lead the county and do things differently..well Skerrit , apologize for all the things Lennox acuse you of and we will give you the 21 you looking to get next election.
Hmmm
Agata dire, magistre dire toute sa ki pa content menez nous and tribunal comme labetill.
At the end of the day , the politicians will be friends, and dominican’s eating up each other for politics, well, well.
nonesense, which politicians will eat and drink with these serpents? Come again my friend. These people there more criminal than Danny Lugay. They two face, bare face and bold to the bone. Fly all u kite my bros. I know alot of them in that Parliament went along but knew, they knew, deep down in their hearts, they were going along because they had too. Singing for their jobs or else, out you go. Their conscience must be bothering them, they could not have slept well last night, unless they did not go to the father before closing their eyes. When we pray at night we all go over our deeds before the father, what guilt we used when we prayed. Roosevelt and your gang of bandits, you all are the worst I’ve ever seen in the history of a government. Your days are coming, mark my words.
Imagine alot of your owen supporters condemning your actions against Danny Lugay, you are so bent on destruction, you are not thinking right now. YOUR DAYS ARE COMING, MARK MY WORDS
AM REALLY CONCERNED
When king Skeritt speaks, politicians especially members of the opposition must listen. He told you to stay away from the Parliament and you did not obey. Next time, you must put your hands between your legs according to a Minister of Government and stay away.
By the way, is there a law in Parliament to protect the good name and reputation of Parliamentarians. Remember the famous conversation Ian had with a gentleman as regards how Skeritt behaves when Parliamentarian are around him, especially it they turn their backs to fetch a glass of water.
You appear not to be aware that the majority of the public (people’s) comments/opinions matter. Do you not think this was also taken into consideration? Politicians do take note of the public’s comments. Their views are important to especially this issue.
Not yours, they are always sent down the trash can. Seem like you need to install spy ware doctor. Find out if Charlie really knows your exact address and has you ‘in favorites”.
am a supporter of Labour party I support them100 percent this time.
. . . And always I hope.
The blind leading the blind. Ignorant blind bat.
then you tell me where in the Constitution where such a move can be implemented before you back any one I would suggest you take the time to read the law of the land and not the ones for Skerrit, Toney, Lennox Lawrence, but remember what goes around comes around for your party because they will be voted out.
Parry, I would tell the Prime Minister there is no need to ask the Parliament to suspend Mr. Lugay. If Mr. Lugay wins the case, the Government will have to pay him for all the months or years he has been awaiting the judgment. Mr. Lugay might even sue the police for false imprisonment. Another problem is if the case is called after the general elections and his party wins, it will be interesting to see how the UWP deals with this situation.
Hello, how would you fill if someone said they will kill you, would you fill safe being in the same room with them even if they apologize, are you saying that it all right to threaten someone and just say I am sorry and sit and drink cocktails with them, in this day and age when every body has a gun at list if you know some one is crazy get him far away from the people he has threatened.
If he was not charged by the police he would never be suspended from the House. That is why the question is why wasn’t Lennox Lawrence arrested and charged for making a statement ten times worst than what Danny made. When Lennox Lawrence made his threat to kill Edison James and Spags John and others on March 12 2013 at Lagoon in Roseau he was not arrested although two separate official complaints were made to the police by Ron Green and Lennox Linton. I guess you have no problems with that kind of boldface double standard.
Concern and the other hypocrites…..you all know damn well Danny does not have any intention of hurting anyone….you all are like the fish they call Saul which sees on one side…In due time you will see who you should be afraid off
Fool, the man never threaten anyone. He was making a general statement about some people holding Dominica at ransom inorder to enrich themselves, people that should know better, but they don’t care if arab muslem, Chinese, hatians or Spanish take over the country as long as they have a villa overseas to run to incase things get real violent in Dominica. All you want DLP for another term, is worse it’s gonna get watch and you will see.
If Mr. Lugay had said an individual should be killed or i want so and so to die, you can say he is inciting murder…
But he said and i quote ” some people deserve to die for holding the country back ” (or something of the sort) and apologized for the fact that what he said seemed cruel, now does that give anyone a right to jail him or put him as an outcast? I’m sure when someone threatens another for his or her boy/girlfriend, you don’t jail them and fire them for their words… especially after a hearty apology.
**feel & **least. Not all that sounds the same means the same
Did Danny call any one by name when he made the statement ?
This is bull, nonsense.
Yo are so illiterate, Danny did not call anybody name it was an open statement. STUPID!!!!!!! Time will tell.
So exactly who did mr. Lugay said he will kill? did I miss that person’s name?
It would be interesting to see how he will win this case. What he stated is appropriately documented.
You should not be so presumptuous to jump ahead and make these insinuations. Some people seem to suffer from this malaise. Furthermore, you cannot foresee the future. It is wise to wait until the case is called and the verdict is brought down.
Dominican people need to take a good look at what this A gov wants to do to people in Dominica its about taking your bread that way you will have nothing to eat then you will come to mr god pm but time will tell how long not long
not long at all
This is a clear case of SATAN TRYING TO CORRECT SIN…FLY YOUR KITE HIGH SKERRIT BECAUSE WHEN YOU FALL YOU WILL COME CRASHING TO THE GROUND. MARK MY WORDS….
.The opposition should not fall in this trap because this may be his last sitting..
What? You still feel he is correct to make such a demeaning statement? You have a problem.
@The Facts
That is not what he said, take your time and understand his statement better.
He is saying:
1) The bad ones are trying to correct another’s bad doing
2) The PM should just continue all his foul things, one day it will backfire
@Change is a must’s words~
Worst comments have been made by members of the government and they still in parliament. I am not condoning what Danny did, but he did not mention anybody’s name. I looks like the cap fit a lot of people. Hold strong Danny
what about your ministers who made the demeaning statements.
skerrit said go to hell is not your damn business…
skerrit said woman to woman , man to man we going to MASH them up.were they right to say that, especially as the PM of a country.
your saul only on one side you seeing. that is the FACT. you should go and wash your eyes with sea water maybe then the red which keeps u blind will come out.
What is the demeaning statement? Danny should have exercised more constraint but his statement was/is not demeaning and in no way was meant to incite death or violence against Lawrence. When it was said that ” sombody should slap Thompson Fontaine” wasn’t that a direct threat against Thompson and an incite to violence against him? I will repeat! We have all and I don’t care who you are, uttered similar words to Danny at some point in our lives. The current members of skerritt’s party have all made similar statements and have disgraced themselves and parliament in public on numerous occasions so this right here is another reason why the people of Dominica will suffer if they do not remove this menace from the governance of Dominica. If not for yourself do it for your children because they will be the one who will have to deal with the fallout of the maladministration.
These people are liken unto a foolish man who built his house upon a sand. The rain will come.
Just now the house not dissolving for elections nuh….. so wats the sense…..choops
Why Do weoDo our utmost to support danny wrong Doing but if is our children that makes those statements we would discipline the wi way so that They learn it is wrong. Be adults and tell danny he erred and be man enough make ammends by Doing What. Will bring back the sensible man we know danny to be and make all lugays and roseau north proud
You missed the apology man?
Danny’s apology is not an apology
The apology made reference to the people of soufriere, the UWP party and supporters, parliamentarians, family etc…it is yet to make mention to Mr. Alick Lawrence who the attack was directed to. So how sorry is he?
“It is none of their dam business where labour party getting money” “…go to hell”
Teach your children to be fair and balanced
when your ministers said those damning statements and your reds only laugh like it’s a joke don’t you think of your children?
and I matter of FACT he apologized! Does not that counts for something.
I remember learning this old adage in primary school. There are four things that come not back:- THE SPED ARROW! THE SPOKEN WORDS! THE PAST LIFE! AND THE NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITY! That is why to be Angry is sinful. Control your anger people!
Many of us learned it and while in elementary school. I also learned to be fair and kind to people while standing up for the truth.
There are some who do not live by the Golden Rule as taught to us by Our Lord Jesus Christ. It boils down to, “What we do not want for ourselves, we should never do to others.” Treat them as we expect of them.
If we call ourselves practicing Christians we should know better and how to treat others in words and deeds.
Our Lord said, “Those who know (it is wrong) and do not do it, it is a sin. They will be more severely punished.”
So, we cannot say if we were not Christians we would harm people. It is insane. The Lord took note of his words.
He is not a child. He is an adult who was also on the campaign trail and should have conducted himself better than he did, in words. We must be fair about this and call a spade a spade. He was wrong to make such a statement and must admit his error. Even though he apologized, the dangerous words were already spoken and cannot be retracted. They were like weapons.
Therefore, there is a penalty for this which he must answer for and pay for. He has reasons to be regretful and to say, “If only I knew.” Based on his words, I do not think he is all that remorseful.
The bible says that evil must be destroyed. We will all die but evil people should be cut down. The Good Lord says so.
Where did you get that? The bible says ” be angry but sin not ” it never said to be angry on sinful.
How the hell can satan correct sin when his own hands are unclean . Skerro ur days are numbered. We shall overcome some day.
Steups
They should have suspended all, any little thing they walking out you call that a party who wants to lead a country? So childish! Easy win for labour mark my words.
best u say easy loss for dlp…………..
So damn true a party who claims they want to stand up for our country and its ppl runs out of a meating when the heat is on bloody Cowards,Labour must win ah me say so
fool meeting you dummy in can
@ USATracker
You do not know the reason for their departure, take a while and look at all the bad things done from both parties, weigh out the severity and see at the end which party has done more rubbish, then come back and preach on behalf of that party.
You also cannot say that they must win like that, give some good reasons why along with that comment.
Also, do not use as an excuse ( UWP has not done anything while in office and DLP do so much ) because its been quite a while since DLP was in office which gave them a lot of breathing space and time to react.
( note: I am not supporting / denoting any party within my comment(s) )
you certainly have not been following parliamentary politics in Dominica. The labor party walk out of parliament and also boycotted parliament based on what they thought was the correct thing for their party to do. Are you now saying that walking out and boycotting only belongs to the labor party?
We as Dominicans are embarrassed by this government, they say what they want, do as they please, no one cautions them, not priest, bishop or pastor but this week they in parliament passing as if they so innocent. They will fool us no longer cause we have seen their double standards, openly displayed for the whole world to see and if they think they getting a fourth term to get worse than they are already, with the help of God we voting them out.
The opposition is an embarrassment
Then you should be happy when UWP walks out because it means more votes for DLP. Do you really understand what happens in the Dominican Parliament? God bless
They are not cowards..the others are liars who wish to assassinate them.Walk out self let them talk to theriselves. Change is a must
Yes by calling them Al- Queda and they should be hunted down. After Alix Lawrence threaten people like that, he saying he now scared and living in fear. Oh please!!
They are disrespectful and unmannerly. It goes to show that by their attitude they condone what he stated.
Of course because they going to cheat!!
when uwp say they wining colihaut I realize they finish.so if the others they claim they strong is like colihait ,,I can just say hmmp..uwp didnt get back 4000 voters lost in 09,nope ,,just the same set of supporters they hav,,look at valley ,they try geothermal an no support,,mutchless to get valley vote
If one know they are on the losing side of an argument and/or know that what they are listening to is rubbish, they have a right to walk away, their say was not appreciated and would never have had any power at the rate thing were going at that meeting…
Does that make them bad people for not standing on the losing side of an argument!?
this country is becoming politically driven. if the motion is pending why is he already suspended. Makes no sense guess the Prime Minister power out rules the laws of the land. Shameless to the 100 degree
You fool. It is not pending. It carried
you make reasonable comments from time to time, But you should not refer to the person as a fool , you could simply correct, this to me is much more civil
Think again.
We need to stop this dictator and his minister right now. They are doing what they want. Enough is enough!!
No common sense, eh to understand what Lugay stated? If you do not comprehend, no explanation is necessary to make you wise.
all u hav to live wth it..skeritt dominica pm for a long time,,who vex migrate,but skero an charlo all u under them..
Its very difficult to understand the logic behind walking out of parliament. To begin with its total DISRESPECT to the very house and for the people who claim they want to lead a country is this the way in which you would like the younger ones to follow in your footsteps? I see the government as people who should be exemplary that’s why we see government officials being with their families (whether its a façade or not) and for example the UWP going to church in different communities and taking pictures and posting it on Facebook. But my point is they are people whom others should be able to look up to. Walking out of the house is an indication that you could show utter disrespect and think its okay. Its not! Don’t be misguided… I’m not a supporter of any party but I most definitely don’t support stupidity. If that’s the way that the UWP is going to solve issues or address issues with the opposite party, They are not ready for government..its very sad to say. The leader of the opposition should put his feet down because the reputation of him and his party is at stake. Whether or not Mr Lugay is part of the opposition and whether or not you are a supporter of him or the party what he did was WRONG and it can’t be justified. I’m sorry. But we live in a screwed up world where being BIAS is in. UWP needs to do some sort of reflection because this is not a good look
When the opposition do not have a fear hearing in the house, a speaker who is one sided, and has the minority sit in parliament do Dominicans realize how dangerous that situation is to the country? today is Danny Lugay, who knows who is next and for what, i cannot blame the opposition for walking out, that is the only course of action that is available to them so as to indicate to the nation that they are not satisfied with what is happening.
How many years Dame Eugenia Charles was the only opposition elected member in Parliament.
How many years was Mike Douglas the only Opposition Member in Parliament.
These were Politicians interested in Dominica and Dominicans.
No excuses for the Opposition UWP. It shows us all they are interested in only one thing and that is neither Dominica nor her people.
Why didn’t you say what you’re saying now when the UWP was in power in 1995-2000, they had the majorith then and were doing what they want in the house. and you better stop being naive, when you’re in the majority you rule.
For politicians, what they did is not at all nice, gentlemanly and ladylike. They may have planned it. Hope all Dominicans took note. They are sealing their votes and election fate.
Oh please A Doubting Thomas….in the days of Mamo and Mike, we had house speakers who were unbiased and who treated all equally in the house.
You can hardly say that about the present speaker. Today in the house she keeps on referring to Skerrit as ‘the honorable prime minister’ and not once did she refer to Hector as ‘the honorable opposition leader.’
She man handles the opposition while government members get a little slap on the wrist.
She is a known supporter of the DLP and she makes this cloud all her judgement in the house.
So your talk about Mike and Mamo holds no water because in their days we had REAL house speakers.
You mean the same mamo that said take them (the UWP) out by any means necessary that led to the coalition. That’s when things started going downhill and here we are today. She let her hatred for Edison James interfere with the electoral process.
@ Dorival you are wrong Mike followed the rules of the house so rarely had he have to be cautioned of the house rules, he never came to the house in the wrong attire and hold the correct attire in his back pocket then runs out and put the rite one on, UWP and its members has no respect for any laws the saying is if you don’t stand for anything you will fall for anything and to date for 14yrs now they never stood for anything in the house other than the small mercies that was given.
I agree, in those days we had NONOURABLE Speakers.
You should shut up. The prime minister said no law, no constitution, no lawyers will stop him from doing what he wants. That is disrespect. Mr. Skerrit needs to resign as PM. He makes me sick.
Is walking out of Parliament the only thing that does not look good. People open your eyes and think for yourselves. He who is without sin cast the first stone. Unless you forgive, you will not be forgiven. Politicians take note, God is still on His throne.
every rope has an end skerro. your rope is just about coming to its end.
Dominican and the uwp to get a revolution going to get this regime out and claim this island back. It is time for serious action and the need of serious people. Patrick John took up the challenge and was jailed for it. Uwp what are you will to give up for this beloved island. the time for talk is over its action time. ARE YOU READY FOR THE REVOLUTION?
you are a M……… and your brains down south.
Start practicing speaking Chinese because that’s where the country is going take a look around
Are you saying our next Prime Minister will be Chinese? We need someone with integrity and will adhere to Godly priniciples when making dicisions? Are you saying the Chinese exemplify that? Maybe, they are the fastest growing christian nation. God might be on to something.
I believe he is saying we are slowly turning to Chinese style ruling.
( I do not know anything about the Chinese and am not racist )
It is your country. You can’t expect to sit back, talk, complain, criticize and do nothing for your country. You can change that if you take an interest in it, educate yourself and go on to be of benefit to D/ca. You can help others to do likewise. This is your mandate as a Dominican resident and primarily from God. May He assist you accordingly.
Smh. My fellow dominicans open your eyes
So the UWP Members of Parliament once again removed themselves from another crucial debate in the House.
Why did they not come to his defence and stayed and make their contribution on the matter or is this their way of telling us the decision to suspend the Senator have their full support.
Or are we to believe that they are in full support of his statements and feel the same way he does.
Which is the right one.
When the “ayes” have it, what defense can you possibly mount in the house? commonsense anyone?
The people with commonsense know why they left…good job…leave the house for the liars, pretenders who are trying to fool Dominicans
The right one is when the leader (Satan) speaks no one goes against his word. So they feel defenceless. Your pm have all the key areas under his control. They do right walk out. They don’t need to listen to DLP crap.
The man apologized That’s a real man he doesn’t clame to be perfect and he accepts his short comings. Who would you want to lead you ? am man who Steals and rub people an arrogant heartless man or a humble honest man who apologize when he makes mistakes… I would Pic Danny over Skerro anyday to lead Dominica
norting last forever skerro..norting last forever..take ur foot while u can,cuz wen ur days are done…datz it……
Nothing lasts forever for me, you and everyone else. Think of yourself.
Good Riddance………
this unbecoming lugay u are gaining more. votes
Really? This would show their mentality of those supposedly supporters.
Do you know there are some people who think little of themselves, little of where they are going in life, little of what they want and hope to achieve and where they hope to end up? Some of them think nothing at all. Therefore, they could not care less what type of person will represent them.
All the same, no matter what ,they will vote. The world consists of many such people. For them, life goes on without beating their eyelids or lifting a finger. They remain just where they are.
This is Skerrit’s house; but not long from now it will be the people’s house. All pigs have their Christmas. Just be patient Dominica. Our day is near.
You are not making this statement on behalf of all D/cans. Furthermore, pigs do not celebrate Christmas. It is an insult to Our Lord Jesus Christ to make such a statement. Avoid idle talk/ comments.
When you refer to your fellow people, do so with dignity and respect. They are all God’s children, made in his image and likewise even though with different characteristic and personality traits. You should know that.
A politician did wrong. He should not be condoned, applauded and exalted. To be fair, feel sorry for him that he found himself in this dilemma, through his words and fault. Pray for him. You should consider no matter how brave he appears, it is not easy for him at this time. Do not place any curses (more) on D/ca and anyone else for it will turn on you, those who wish others evil.
Forewarned is to be forearmed. Police State. Dictatorship trends.
Once a citizen, because he is an advisor to the Skerritt DLP Gov’t, could influence a Police Force so much, as to get them to search and arrest other citizens and the police willingly obey, WATCH OUT.
The Chronicle staff, the editor, was questioned, harassed by police, after statements by a certain Lawyer, instructing the police so to do.
Lennox Linton’s home searched by Police. But, as revealed to all, the real culprit who leaked PM’s info from the IPO, a criminal offence, will not be searched, arrested or charged for that criminal offence.
It seems that Skerritt has done no wrong at all. Skerritt was allowed by the same speaker, Parliament and the system to be in Parliament, all through his dual-citizen case.
Danny Lugay has not and will never come close to committing the kind of illegal, unconstitutional acts committed by the cabal. Bin and Fertilizer BOBOLS, Passport sales, diplomatic passport secret deals, kick-backs, $64,000,000.00 debt from Petro Caribe to Venezuela, plus numerous other acts of corruption that cannot be refuted No arrest, no case, no charges. The heinous firebombing crime against two innocent citizens, No case, no charges, no arrests.
Court sent arrest warrant for the arrest of the Lawyer. No arrest, no charges. The elder Lawyer Mano had filed 42 charges of fraud against that same Lawyer, who was also involved in a secret land transfer deal. Instead, that Lawyer got protection on the day of his court appearance. Police in uniform secured the area.
Police State. Dictatorship mode. That’s what our Nature Isle has become. Thanks to the Corruption and those engaged in those. How Long? Not Long!!!!!
No surprise in their actions. It’s clear where our country is heading under the dictatorship regime of this DLP government. The sad thing about it is the supporters of this madness say it’s ok.
well well well all i can do is laugh.workers jus give up.accept ur defeat
A “Dice Fan” who clearly don’t listen to the words of his songs. Or maybe just don’t understand. urgh
Or maybe a fool….cannot be a dice fan
this brings back memory of south africa in the 80s
Exaggeration!
Fools Paradise Dominica is…their citizens are too lame dull and dazed, change will never come to Dominica, as the citizens refuse to help themselves….
calling the radio station you silly dominicans won’t bring around change, the upcoming election will be stole away from UWP and all they will do is talk, talk and more talk…
The only how Labour will be removed from office is by show of force…don’t these foolish dominicans see that…
i am so dam ashamed to be called a Dominican
the poorest island in the eastern caribbean…
kick them about skero they are idiots, damm fools!!
That’s your business wii!
Vic – you are the damm foolish idiot – to write such garbage insulting your fellow country man. Because they support either party – dose not make us an idiot if its Labor but smart if its UWP or the other way around. Don’t cry for us Dominicans. Jackass, it is called democratic choice!
Be careful of your words that you do not put DNO in trouble.
I think, generally Dominicans want to live a happy and peaceful life. They are not radicals and troublemakers. It has no bearing that they are what you refer to them. They do not like all this melee. People have a right to want peace and to live in peace. After all they are Christians. Right?
That’s what you want in our beloved country????That’s the love you all have for your country????BOOTS ON THE GROUND….but it will never ,ever happen ,by the GRACE OF GOD.I DECLARE AND DECREE PEACE AND NOT WAR SHALL REIGN IN THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY CALL DOMINICA.
Then we will see who is in the majority. Majority rules, that is the general concept behind democracy.
Thank you dno for the choice of comments you decide to post and the ones you don’t.
Mr. Lugay in his frustration made a statement that was not statesmanly. It was wrong to make such a statement.
However, I am listening to the deliberations in the house conducted to suspend him and I am disgusted at the double standards.
Utterances and behaviours of our ALL parliamentarians should be ALWAYS exemplary. I hope from this day forth we in Dominica will not be subjected to any form derogatory utterances and behaviours from ANY of our Parliamentarians.
Look at it positively. Out of every bad, some good will come out of it. It is a lesson to be learned and an example to all. Wait and see.
Yes let’s see if they can practice what they preach.
Dominica is in a mess right now. I really don’t know if I should come back home. I do not want to come back to a communize country.
or u cannot come back because u overstay on your visa. Which on. lolol
You mean ‘communist’?
Go home and enjoy yourself. Do not deny yourself that opportunity.
This reminds me of one of Paul Keens Douglas comedy shows. One of the singers was singing the song, “I Want To Go Home.” The audience said to him, “Go home boy, go home.”
Everyone could make a difference to the environment they reside in. It is your home. Do not forget, keep praying to God to help you and make your stay enjoyable.
When we read of these matters, it appears to look bad. Consider we have relatives and friends in D/ca and they are not complaining. At least, not those I know. They seem to be OK. They ask me when am I coming home. I simply say, “If the Good Lord wills”, sometime soon
You do not need to come back and maybe you cannot come back.
Go on one of the news stations or radio stations in USA and repeat the same statement lugay made. Just use US politicians in the statement.
Let’s see what would happen to you. Further more, just say bomb.
Get real
It is not. this happens to be the great strategy of the opposition to create chaos and confusion. That is the only way they believe they have a chance of winning the election. Dominicans are smarter than that.
whoosh whoosh ,,,!!! Dominique ki dou
That s really nonsensical.This man is not convicted of any crime.He did not resign. This is a Police state.This is fowl.Other parliament members have said worst than that. I was a Laborites but now i change my vote. Way papa!!! DISGUSTING!!!!
@ Overseas you must be flying a kite over the seas and saying overseas cause is no other country than DA that someone can make statements like this and still remained in the party still saw it fit to come to the house and sit only in the house, DA is the only place that can be done.
In which country a prime minister would ever disrespect his citizens by saying it’s not your damn business and go to hell and no law nor constitution would prevent him from doing what he is suppose to do for him to be sitting in d house. Which one is worse?
You really need help to ask a question like that, two men stood on a political platform and spoke one said you asking where I get my funds from to run my campaign which is not required for any party to reveal where there funds are coming from so he says it none of your damn business where my funds come from tell us where yours comes from 1st?
Now the other guy turn comes and he says we had a sit down with the electoral office and when I look at Alick Lawrence sitting there not saying nothing these are the people that’s holding back the country some people in this country need to needs to be killed if I was not a believer, should I say more? and you asking which is worse, in the 1st part did they mentioned anyone had to die?
Thats your problem vote for Hector John
wat vote? lol. u overseas, u r an illegal voter according to ur party. don’t come here pretending to be wat ur not.
Get your facts straight…dont be dum….that person is only illegal if they’re living away five years and up.
you not no laborite Just be True to urself and stop trying to fool pple… u write that so pple can say laborites turning stop tripping
they trying to jail Lugay but the real criminal still sitting in parliament running the country. trying to set up lennox is a bigger crime. dont worry scare-it. toute koushor ni samedi yo.
If only you could be charged for your words.
Their best move ever is always walking out of parliament, yet they want to represent people and even run for government.
Fool dont you know that great proverb’ “He who fights and run away will live to fight another day. PUT THAT IN YPUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT, ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD. LITTLE IS MUCH WITH GOD IN IT.
They did not hesitate to do that. It must have been faster than lightning.
What kind of mentality do you have? If you think they are wrong for walking out then you should be convinced that the government is wrong for throwing Danny out, because all “out is out” or would you have preferred they give the speaker piece of their mind and she throw them out too? Like Joseph in the Bible they ran from Satan. Remember he was being jailed for doing the right thing.
Labour party have powers. NOT MADAM SPEAKER!!!
As I said before it should have never come to this they knew this was going to happen so they wanted this to be used to think the people would back them but this will make you all look even worse than you already has it, you cant let this keep being in the mind of people but I have no idea who advice you all but he needs to be fired, and the sad thing you all and your supporters walking heads high like is something so good you all defending.
I cannot believe for the life of me that the man who stated no law no constitution can prevent him from being nominated is today talking about this country is govern my law and no one is above the law. what a shame. Dominica is colonizing in reverse.
so true…….. the man is a demon…..the Devil himself
You, having stated that, I wonder what God is thinking of you for making such a statement? You are condemning yourself.
Yeah, it takes one to know one
If the Laws of the House makes provision to deal with Senator Lugay’s behaviour so be it. However,it would be fitting for ALL Parliamentarians to do some introspection because none of them have displayed behaviour of a higher level than Lugay. What has saved them is the fact that they are in Government. It was particularly distressing to listen to the Minister of Education.
DONT WORRY GOD IS WITH YOU.
Kimrah let me get what you saying, Kane said his brother should be killed but just because he believe in God he wont do it meaning that Pharaoh can do it cause he never believed in out type of God but God will be with Kane got you, WOW. Politics makes us sin our soul.
Wasnt one of the great apostles and leaders of early christianity a persecuter and killer of christians? He was then temporarily blinded and converted by the holy spirit and eventually became a leader of christianity himself. You are going against Jah when u seem to imply that we make it to zion through our own will. None are saved but by the grace of God. A belief in God is central to moral behaviour its what lifts us up above our baser instincts. As far as i am concerned the man is being castigated for stating the core nature of christian belief. He simply affirmed that his belief in God is greater than himself and if we are saying that we are a christian nation then which christian would find it in their realm to literally kill people?
the labour party in their attempt to demonize uwp are taking dca down a slippery slope and are increasingly polarizing the populace and sowing seeds of discord that will impact our development for generations. I cant understand why CURRENT ISSUES are neglected and we keep on discussing ppl. I mean this week is budget which should be the front burner issue and instead we find ourselves talking about a statement made by lugay how many weeks ago as far as i am concerned this is a classical smoke screen where u use smoke and mirrors to hide wats really going on
double standards at it’s best
yes it is!
really? wasn’t the ayes for whether the motion should be debated or not? the ayes had it and thus they are debating the motion.
it stands to reason that having debated the motion, the house would then vote as to whether Lugay should be suspended or not.
maybe I misunderstood the activities but I would like someone to explain it to me.
Obviously, you have not been following debates in this 18-3 Labour Party government House. There is no way any motion from the Govt. will be defeated. So, Anon, the result is already pre-determined. I’m sure you already know that.
The walk-out by the Opposition was the only, and right, thing to do. It is the ONLY way to protest the high-handed behaviour of the DLP government.
Was that necessary???
**HERE’S WHAT WAS NOT NECESSARY**
“When the motion was being made, members of the UWP walked out”.
………………………………………….
This walking out non-sense needs to STOP!!! You can’t walk out for every thing. UWP members had an opportunity to stay and fight with their speeches.
Tell the public how the government members had themselves made similar VILE speeches in public.
Here was a very public moment to stand up for one of their own instead they walked out.
This walking out was not necessary!!
-Thanks
