Skerrit says he is inspired by Joseph Isaac’s announcement

Skerrit promised to meet with Isaac to discuss a framework to work together for the benefit of Dominica and Roseau Central

Prime Minister Skerrit has said that he is “heartened and inspired by the tone and tenor” of the announcement by Roseau Central MP, Joseph Isaac, of his departure from the United Workers Party (UWP).

Isaac revealed on Wednesday that he was parting ways with the UWP because the party was unwilling to move from its politics of anti-nationalism.

“It tells me that finally, some in this country, are coming around to the realization that a divided Dominica, especially at the national leadership level, will not progress at the pace that is required,” Skerrit said in a statement released on Wednesday night. “I consider yesterday a red letter day for Dominica because finally, someone was willing to stand in the breach and say no – that is not the way.”

The prime minister lauded Isaac’s decision to sit as an independent member of parliament as significant.

“The government, which I have the honor to lead, welcomes this magnanimous gesture and I intend as the leader of the government, to request a meeting with Mr. Isaac at his earliest convenience to discuss a framework by which we can work together in the interest of Dominica and to the benefit of the constituents of Roseau Central,” he said.

Skerrit said this development, six and a half months into Dominica’s post- Maria recovery efforts, has come at a “perfect time” and announced his intention to address the nation on progress made and efforts to expedite recovery efforts, “particularly as they relate to persons still vulnerable to the elements.”

    PM – please take note and be guided by my and other Labourites action – we’ve ‘crossed-the-floor’ too. Recent events have really got me thinking, in that all efforts by you and fellow UWP parliamentarians to engage in NATION building ‘post Hurricane Maria’ have fallen on death ears – that’s just not right. If it have to take Hon Joseph Issac to ‘cross-the-floor’ to be entertained by you then I am Labourite NO more.

    Be encouraged by knowing that many more Labourites are thinking and acting in the same manner as me.

    April 6, 2018

    When someone, let alone the prime Minister of any country is on record saying how inspired he is by an act originated and, very similar to Judas Iscariot, tell me where you think the country that he leads can go. This evil act that Skerrit’ is inspired by was concieved just around the Holy week, during which time Judas Iscariot betrayed Christ. The sad thing about it is Christians who claim to be born again are rejoicing over evil and wrong that prevailed to the point that a blogger who calls himself PREACHER, said how happy he was about an evil act of bribery that prevailed in our country. Do these Christians read 1 Cor. 13, the love of God and love for God chapter? I’m sorry but these things confirm why the presence of God seems absent on our island and why the evil works of Satan such as destruction is constantly seen in Dominica today.

    April 6, 2018

    The government of Dominica is very Evil! They only do things that are wrong. They violate every law in the Holy Bible that they use to sware on as if the Bible is a book that encourages their evil. Yes they talk about God their actions deny the spirit of the Bible. The main purpose of a government is to ensure justice for all so that we could all live a peaceable life on Earth. Unfortunately, it is our government that fighting against justice. See how treated GON Emmanuel; how on Earth could a person report a serious act of Evil to the police and somehow, it was the government that was on radio spinning it and up to now blocking it just to deny justice? It’s a government that encourages bribery and cheating. They stole the votes of the people at the poles to take 18 seats, yet that was not enough for them and stole the 19th seat by stealing the votes the people cast for uwp and then bribed uwp candidate. No wonder we cannot prosper as a country under them and we build but in vain

      PS. 127:1 makes it very clear that :Psalm 127-1″Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” In fact this fact is stated throughout PS.127-128. Yet the prime minister keeps saying that he was sent by God to build houses for the people he made poor? Which good Mr. Skerrit? How could that be Skerrit? Why would God fight against himself? Can you not see that you are building but you building is in vain sir? Can the preachers not see it, except darkness has blinded their eyes? The holy Bible tells us that is by their fruits we will know them. The fruits that we are seeing year after year, is fruits of evil with constant destruction. Schools bridges, roads, health centers, police stations, houses, Churches all their up to this day, as evidence of Evil that’s been judged. Yet, we are 7 weeks before another brutal hurrican, predicted worse than last year . Yet Skerrit finds money to bribe politicians

    Thank you labour party for uprooting the weeds that were about to choke the UWP because right before your very eyes, as you pluck then out of the beautiful garden of UWP they fade, die and buried Example, Lorraine , Julius and now Joseph. Has anyone ever crossed the floor and retained their sit. What a blind leader you are to take these dead weeds and think they can be of any use.

    Every right thinking Dominican should be severely aggrieved about the present state of affairs in the country. Only members of a brainwashed cult would think otherwise. The economy was/is in total shambles pre and post Maria. Joblessness is at an all time high. Nurses, teachers, port workers, and most civil and public servants are experiencing severe financial constrains because of low and stagnant wages. The politics practised by the government leads to hate mongering. Non supporters of the ruling regime feel politically isolated, threatened and hopeless. There’s a need to cultivate a kind of politics that promotes love and not hate, brings us together instead of keeping us divided. Let’s condemned all brands of politics that stir up enmity, bitterness and conflict among brothers and sisters. Let’s soundly reject politics that enriches a small group and pauperizes the masses. Let’s gravitate towards politics that heal and not hurt. The present gov’t is an abysmal failure.

    I know you to be inspired by improper behavior. What J Isaac did was wrong, improper and should not inspire anyone. However, as I write this I recall how you dump Taiwan for China so that’s the kind of behaviour that you like. I hope you’re inspired enough to call an election today so that I can make my X against you and your party. The fact remains Skerrit must go now. The DLP cannot form the next government in Dominica. The UWP is on a rise, on a winning trend. They are poised to win the next general election in Dominica, like it or not.
    God bless Dominica.

The opposition is not organized and they refuse to take advice on their approach to you and your government so you continue to rule. Nevertheless, it will eventually catch up with you and the tretery you uphold will visit your dwelling. Time will tell.

      The Opposition UWP is very much organised, professional with reputable people on the Team UWP. One man decides to move away, for reasons we are not sure of, and may end up in the political pit of this corrupt Labour government and their devilish acolytes. You are also telling us that this inept PM is ecstatic, I bet you know not of its meaning. It means expressing joyful happiness at the suffering back of the Dominican people. So are you serious wonders that this Pm is in happiness while the people he is suppose to serve are in deep poverty, crying, homeless and promoting Skerrit to the level of being Ecstatic. Are you people so much blind supporters of a failed Prime Minister and his corrupt Labour government?

    We have heard and said patience is a virtue all our lives, but now hearing the announcement of Joseph Isaac, we can put real meaning to this phrase. Good sense has prevailed. Someone has decided to take the moral high ground.
    I couldn’t thank God enough, because i couldn’t see how Dominica could develop as a nation with persons in places to be so negative and so anti development and so pro criticism.
    Sadly, Lennox don’t even seem to know the roll he and his party plays.
    Constructive criticism is very different from just opposing or being against. He has had NO real alternatives to anything being proposed so he just opposed.
    Isaac must be a prayerful man, God has opened his eyes, Kudos man, you have now set yourself apart from the sheep and the goat.

      Now you also try to allude by saying that: “Sadly, Lennox don’t even seem to know the roll he and his party plays”. You are so blind that I bet you did read this piece of nonsense you wrote. We all know that you all know that Lennox is way above Skerrit and you al hate Hon Linton because he has uncovered numerous Bobol and corrupt activities of you failed Skerrit. He must Go, he has wasted Dominica with no development to help poor people. Skerrit cannot match of be compared to the intellectual of Hon Linton because Skerrit is dependent on the ugly likes of Astaphan, and the other robots and blind loyalists he has created. Skerrit is stained for life. ….and he must go. He, like Maria, has devastated Dominica. We have no agricultural economy only bobol passports sales. Skerrit…

      @Desmond: You said to Isaac: “you have now set yourself apart from the sheep and the goat.”

      I like what you wrote, but he cannot separate himself from both the sheep and the goats he has to belong in one of the two groups. So I will correct it for you, to say that he has separated himself from the goats to belong to the sheep–the group which goes on the right hand of Jesus, for exaltation; while the goats go on His left to face dishonor.

I will make his life really miserable by knocking his doors at midnight until he pays me for my vote. He or she will have to pay me so much money that no way in hell would another parlrep even think of doing that again. If I meet him the hospital I will ask him for my Money, I will ask him for my money in the supermarket, I will ask him for my money if I meet him with his family or even if I meet him at a funeral, according to Skerrit. I would demand that he pays me my money for stealing my vote

She made it clear that Skerrit’ may have promised him the the prime Ministership, Presedency and money . In other words fortune and power just as he promised Jesus in the wilderness and all he wanted Jesus to do was to bow down and worship him. But Jesus did not accept that. Sadly Judas Iscariot did and yet, he put himself in a position where he can NEVER become PM or President. Not in the face of Robbie

    Nobody cares PM Skerritt, you can have Isaac, he was a weak candidate to begin with. His victory came at the endorsement of Norris Prevost, the champ. Issac has to look for his failing business and his debts so who can blame him, there is nothing to be inspired about a man looking to enrich himself. There is also nothing inspiring about campaigning and having people votes and moving. This practice needs to be stopped in Dominica and for instances like this bi-elections needs to be called immediately. Too many politicians are moving over for the sake of Greed and nothing else with the people’s votes. Again there is nothing inspiring about the practice Mr. Skerrit, it is downright shameful and deceitful.

    We continue to look forward to the PM inviting the Opposition to talk of ways to develop the country as he has promised to do with Issac following his selfish move to give the PM the victory he has always desired.
    But this is not the end of UWP. We shall continue to fight against corruption and move on to victory with our nationalistic agenda focusing on :
    -Good, accountable and transparent governance;
    – Electoral reform, ensuring free and fair elections;
    – Campaign financing reform, access to state media and two year terms for PM etc.;
    – Efficiency of the justice system;
    – Sustainable development of our economy;
    – Efficient and honest management of state resource
    May the light of truth continue to guide our brother on his journey in finding his lost soul.

    You might be successful in contaminating the mind of Isaac with one of your horrendous  promises which he fell for not realizing it has already destroyed him politically. I do not know about you Roosevelt, it is either you were born to do a lot of good, or a lot of damage to people, the land Dominica!

        Man bite Dog, I am sure you are struggling everyday for your survival, even though you said you and your family have business in Dominica, fact is Roosevelt is not struggling he smiles all the way to the bank! Plenty people have business, but when they get sick they beg for money to get treatment in…

    Isaac will now receive.
    1. Financial assistance from GOVT Small Business arm to aid his failing businesses.
    2. A position on CREAD executive committee so he can draw a huge monthly salary.

    What Isaac need to give up:
    1. The Roseau Central seat to Robbie by splitting the UWP votes as an Independent.
    2. Sell out the poor oppressed people of Roseau Central and his party.

    “Skerrit promised to meet with Isaac to discuss a framework to work together for the benefit of Dominica and Roseau Central”

    So why not meet with others to discuss frameworks? only “Roseau Central” that need benefit now?

      What a foolish question! Isaac removed himself from the others, who continue their quest to break down our Dominica instead of trying to build her up. Isaac realized that he did not belong in that “others”. That is why PM Skerrit is standing with his decision

    Saying he iis INSPIRED send chills. Inspired may be taken lightly but that choice of word wow!
    This goverment makes me wonder what I thought of the UWP from inception. A bunch of busniness men ,agriculturists like one in Wesley, an agri economist, radio station owner once into garments, icecream yes icecream supermarket . infact it is report he has tried everything under the sun etc etc ex-DLP from the PJ era, those at odds with Mamo just add urs readers. Cafeteria commies who are now capitalists some alive and religious others dead some on life support.
    Eddie the king pin hated Mamo so bad he deceided to gang up and invent s invent a party lol one can’t form such a party. Had difficulty with Tim and gave INSTRUMENTS the Leadership who turned around and had an issue with PJ’s wife money and skip town. now livivng between CT & The Bx/NY.
    when INSTRU skipped town he found one who is as handsome as him and the party is now reversing.

      I don think that will happen. Better he call himself independent so it’s easier for Skerrit discard him when he has delivered the Roseau seat to him. And if UWP wins? Well, no skin of Skerrit’s nose. Joseph Isaac politica life finish anyway.

    Skeritt gave the impression, he new nothing about Isaac’s master plan. However, he said he was inspired. Why wasn’t he surprised like most Dominicans, in particular, the people of Central Roseau, I believe their were a discussion between Skeritt and Issac prior to the move. I am not convinced, Cecil Joseph who was the one who introduced Isaac before the so called press conference began, would not have informed Skeritt, about what is about to happen. According to Matt , Cecil Joseph called him in order to have a simulcast airing of the press conference, and Skeritt was not notified. Cecil Joseph is a known member of the DLP, why would he not inform his political leader of that breaking news. Therefore, when Skeritt gave the impression that he will only now meet with Issac, that appears to be an untruth. In my opinion, the allegations that he was offered or promised some kind of financial assistance, in order to jump ship, appears to be more credible.

      BogoRoy let me answer you. Why all the fuss? isn’t Isaac a free minded creature? His Father Johnson was a Labour supporter. Even you too. Are not persons free to do as their conscience leads them too. Why do you always want things your way? Who is the Dictator. Why do you hate a son of the soil so? Reminsence back in your time … You were not a saint. Why now you want to criticize when you did a lot yourself. Man at your age retire and woulay sharplais ou. Get this hatred thing out. This will destroy you, the Jonathans and the Franciscos. Get a life and pull up your bootstraps and work to assist your people in action not by mouth play. Guys so much you can do to assist unfortunate ones unless you are all in a despicable position yourselves. Zor pas meme decend Dominique voix sa ki fait kai zor.

    Deceitfulness exudes the man’s character / behaviour. Deceit and treachery has become a part of his game making Dominican realise that it is a ‘man eat man’ society we are living in. He causes a feeling of insecurity in people, meddling with their basic character to be honest at all times. Increasing competition poses a threat to his political tenure, paving way to ponder over why he has the tendency of becoming treacherous and deceitful, especially when peer group competition is involved.

    I said I would call the brother Judas Iscariot but here is what Skerrit told people to call him “Comrades and Friends, I view these individuals in the leadership of the United Workers Party, not as clever politicians, but as traitors to Dominica! They are selling this country out,” Mr Skerrit said.
    The brother, Judas Iscariot just confirmed to the world that Skerrit was right

    I intend as the leader of the government to request a meeting with Mr. Isaac at his earliest convenience to discuss a framework by which we can work together. I can offer some passports or the receiots from those already sold.He can seek to redeem the proceeds to beef up his bakry and other faild businesses.Build a modest home in The couweh/YARD in River Street from whence he sprang and rapidly get him on board in the interest of his self preseveration his new rise in income generating areas. ” he said.

    Skerrit has every reason to be happy because I am quite sure Satan rejoiced when Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus with a kiss and 30 pieces of silver. Joseph Isaac was blessed to be given two bible names with outstanding characters. I would always remind him of his name. However, after listening to the whole saga yesterday, to me Joseph Isaac did not only resign from the UWP but again to me, I personally feel there was a name change but this time a name that diplicts a different character. To me, from now on I, shall call the brother Judas Iscariot. It is even unfair to Judas to call him after him because after all, Judas never accused his then opponent of intending to harm him. But Joseph Isaac recently accused the dlp MP of brandishing a gun and made threats to him. I do not know if he did but he even said he was going to make a report to the police. Today those enemies are his friends and he plotted against those who defended him in the gun saga? That’s worse than Judas

    Isaac concern now is only about Isaac and not the POOR people of Roseau Central.

It may be alleged that you have on red marbles up at PM`s office that you play with daily. Please grow up sir and be mature. Try to rise to the level of intellectual like Hon Lennox Linto. Those clowns that surround you , speak for you play around with you are your visible enemies that you are so blind to see because you are dependent on them to survive. whereas Hon. Linton is his own man independent, shows leadership, intellectual and honest in politics. This is the man to take Dominica from its corrupt abyss to one of developmentally focussed rewarding all Dominicans.

      Isaac is looking at the state of his business and the people who work for him so selling out Roseau Central is small peanuts, his business will progress but the other small other business will rut, but moving over to DLP will come with lots of cash and material which he will bring to you all .
