Some good, a lot of bad – Dr. Frampton on DLP’s management of Dominica

Dr. Anthony Frampton was the guest speaker at the UWP Town Hall Meeting in New York

The Dominica Labour Party is being commended for the way it managed the country during 2002 to 2009 but University Lecturer Dr. Bernard Anthony Frampton says when Roosevelt Skerrit took over as prime minister, things took a turn for the worse.

He told those gathered in New York for a UWP Town Hall Meeting that there’s nothing wrong in admitting that the DLP government did a fairly decent job to stabilize the economy during the country’s 2000 to 2001 crisis when there was a contraction in output by 10%.

“In fact, we need to emphasize that had the government continued with that type of responsible governance, transparency, and fiscal discipline, today Dominica would be a regional leader in national development. But it did not,” he said.

On the contrary, according to Dr. Frampton, the Roosevelt Skerrit administration that inherited power from the late Pierre Charles went rogue and took a dark, destructive turn.

He said PM Skerrit had some achievements no doubt, like the smooth implementation of the VAT and excise duty in March of 2006, “but few patriotic Dominicans will deny that he has led Dominica into a sinister abyss with deep echoes of corruption, victimization, division, and relative autocracy.”

Frampton, a university lecturer, said during 2002 to 2009, the DLP government also did a fair job at improving social indicators like unemployment and poverty, decreasing unemployment from 25 to 14 percent, however, this improvement did not reach the youth, who remained unemployed at a rate of 31%.

“Poverty dropped from 39% to 29%. Perhaps, with a more conciliatory approach, we would have been more effective in making the argument that while it was doing a reasonable job at addressing poverty levels, it was making inequality a big problem,” Frampton said

He concluded by saying that opposition voices must not be afraid to point out the achievements of the government when warranted.

“This does not necessarily weaken our message of change but instead, forces us to be clearer and more lucid in our arguments and helps stimulate more healthy political engagement,” he said, adding, “there were times when I felt that we could have been more targeted and more prudent with our critiques of the government. It has not done everything badly, although it has done quite a bit very, very badly.”

    I am concerned that a learnt post graduate can be so bias. When you reach that level of education you goal has to be objective. Look at his time line. He is forgetting the crucial elements of the forces of Mathew, Erica and Maria, a triple wammy of destruction that completely devastated the very foundation of our economy. And the double wammy in 2017 of D-Day and Maria (in the same year). Its was like Dominica ceased to exist. So who rebuilt the country (from scratch) you are disparaging not the party which is famous for trouble and going MIA in time of danger.
    @Man bites Dog below mentioned stoning. Does the good Dr ever learnt of the ramification of May 29, 1979. Just you wait Dr when you learn about who beat up your Dad and got him fired from a job in the Bahamas you will have a turnaround point of view .
    I am sure as a Phd graduate you know the difference between theory and practice, between facts and fiction. Before you parrot the uwp ideology do research on 1979 &…

    “DLP government did a fairly decent job to stabilize the economy during the country’s 2000 to 2001 crisis when there was a contraction in output by 10%. ”

    Guy you might be a professor, of some thing, I am in not position deny that!Nevertheless, I do not understand what form of economics Roosevelt use to stabilize the economy within one year.

    Good as you may have intended, if what you say is distorted it makes no sense. Let us focus on who was in power during 2000/2001.

    Unless, I a wrong or a little bit confused, and if memory serves me correct, I remember a coalition government led by the late Roosevelt Rosie Douglas was in power; and we know of the chaos which prevailed to the day their rein ended.

    Somebody correct me if I error; I do not pretend to know and remember everything accurately; but thing about stabilizing Dominica’s economy in less than a year or one year does not ring a bell.

      • Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
        July 17, 2019

        The Stockholm Syndrome was first experienced; physiologically diagnosed, and identified in 1973 in Sweden when Bank Clerks were locked in a vault for six days, by which time they began to identify with the criminals their captors.

        I am not suggesting this guy is identifying with the UWP, for this is not a robbery, or a crime of any sort.

        All I suggest he is not accurate in regards to his comments of about Roosevelt stabilizing the economy of Dominica between 2000 and 2001.

        Something seems mythical about!

        From the day Edison James and the UWP lost the election, the economy of Dominica became destabilized to this very day!

        • Joseph John
          July 17, 2019

          It is not a crime in law but it has to be a moral crime when a Phd holder is under the control of a fifth grader. There have to be a quid pro quo promise or a syndrome like what Patsy Hurst suffered. As for the economic dive of Dominica, it took a dive when Edison James became manager of DBGA and Athie Martin told banana farmers to cut bananas and plant peppers. Were they both working as Chikita agents ?
          The economy took an other dive because both the DFP and UWP who run the country for 20 years were unable to revive it.
          Now Skerrit is planning to use a policy of clustering/bundling Tourism, Agriculture and Construction to support his vision for reviving the economy.
          Those UWP leaders only have words no plans, no understanding of the dynamics of economic development. And their behavior re Maria demonstrated that they are not reliable. They behaved like deserters who will leave their comrades behind under fire. Like cowards going MIA.

    July 15, 2019

    Because I am very objecti eperson some doubt that I am still Red. But the truth is I fully endorse everything said by Mr. Frampton. Prior to this up comig election although I didnt always like what Skerrit was doing but never did I ever have to question if I was going to vote for him. This time around I have a 90% chance of voting UWP, though i have a hard time liking Mr. Linton. Skerrit has badly lost his way and Erika and Maria really revealed him to me.. Skerrit is not about building Di.inica he is about building himself and stay in power for his personal business. Honestly speaking I dont sew Dominica taking one step forward under Skerrit because aftee 15 years he is yet to lay a foundation for anything positive. All he does is patch coverup like a perdon trying to selk a bad car and to deceive people he would just paint the car and put rims but the engine is not good

      Skerrit will win the next election and Linton will loose hid deposit.
      Skerrit has the energy of a 40 year old Linton is in his post retirement age.
      Skerrit is a communicator Linton is full of nonsensical bombastic verbosity.
      If I have to choose a model/example to mentor/motivate me or mine it will be Skerrit NOT repeat NOT Linton.
      There is plenty more facts but DNO will not print it because of professional ethics.
      But permit me to ask you this…..What is a LaPline ? Is it very close to Lapland?

    Let’s say for argument sake that we agree with what this university lecturer is saying…. But as patriotic Dominicans are we truly convinced that Lennox Linton who has spent the last twenty years or so doing nothing more than fighting a personal battle with Roosevelt Skerrit is capable of doing a better job?

    Lennox Linton a man who is obviously filled with anger, hatred, bitterness, and the list goes has not shown that he is interested in Dominica’s development. All the man is interested in is taking down Roosevelt Skerrit. If he happens to become PM tomorrow, the man will not know where to start in building Dominica, the country he has spent so much energy and effort in destroying. He will most likely just continue in the same vane..spend all his time and energy fighting Roosevelt Skerrit.

    The UWP needs to try a new strategy, contest an election without Lennox. But, but according to their constitution this will just happen naturally in the next five years or so.

      You sound very sick, stupid and wicked. Did you say that honourable Linton has spent the last twenty years doing nothing? I am certain that it is lazy Skerrit you intended to say. Honourable Linton will replace lazy Skerrit with more experience than Skerrit had in 2004..In fact my take is that any ordinary Dominican on the roadside will do a better job at governance than Skerrit …I am aldo certain that UWP in four point five years accomplished more than DLP has in 20 years …
      Dominica’s sorrowful state is all because if lazy Skerrit.

          The manufacturing industry in Dominica largely depends on raw materials from the agricultural sector. The coconut soap production is among the top ventures in the industry. Coconut soap producers sell over three million bars of soap annually. The majority of the soap users are the Royal Caribbean cruise lines. Where’s the improvement?

          @ man bite dogs. If you know about the Day of Stones you may want eo examine the roll of the Stone gang led by Linton, Lander, Ferguson and Louis Benoit (Zaboca). You may remember how they stoned the houses of government ministers forcing them to resign. The worst part is when they stones Hon Moise home who had a very sick wife in bed. Even the house of Roy Williams (Bogoroy ) house was stoned. All this to throw out Patrick John and his government violently.
          Now D-Day was planned for a repeat led by the same Linton. Was that a return to the scene of the crime ?

      @Jim, Thank you for your words of wisdom and honesty and not just because I am a Labour supporter but because you have spoken the truth. I have said before if Linton was any good apart from being a trouble maker all of his life maybe just maybe I would of have some pity compassion, I feel sorry for him. Did you know Linton was the one who invented photo copier let me explain, at school we use to pass notes under the desk with rubbish to Linton, for a laugh and he would copied the lot the rest was history.

      Jim, let truth reign. Mr. Linton’s leadership of the UWP has led to a markedly increase in the number of votes and seats for the party despite having little resources and had to compete against the monumental resources (war chest) of Skerrit and the DLP. He has managed to attract a most formidable team for the upcoming general election. He and his colleagues speak strictly to pertinent and consequential issues affecting the country on the political rostrum. The UWP has laid out workable, strategic plans for the development of Dominica. Your comment should be roundly rejected for its frivolity and falsehoods.

      What happen to Lennox days on Marpin Television, and his program “What About?”

      What about his days working in Antigua at Observer Radio?

      Lennox attention to Lennox surfaced in Dominica when he exposed the corruption, and thievery of government money out of the treasury.

      Add up the years; to the day he was elected leader of the UWP.

      I did not count twenty years!

      Rather than counting years which Lennox was not involved into politics, thank him for the embezzled money he had thieves return into the Government treasury.

      We need to choose someone to represent us in this wide World based on the efforts that that person has shown to prove that he qualifies for that responsibility.

      But all I am reading and seeing is darkness and futility coming from Lennox; who wants to choose a person like that to put him in the seat of Prime Minister of our country?

      Everybody has to show themselves qualified to do a job; Lennox is not a young man, to say that he will improve as time goes by; neither does Dominica has the time to wait for someone in training, to go out to the World on their behalf.

      After 20 years of involvement in politics and 5 years as the Leader of the Opposing Government, Lennox should be able to show us that he can lead us to further economic and social development.

      We see nothing, we read nothing, and we hear nothing that is positive coming from him. There is no way we can put Lennox in the Prime Minister’s seat-NO WAY!

While there are variations across the OECS countries, the regional approach of this SRD is motivated by the shared development challenges faced by the OECS, as well as the regional strategies available2 overcome these challenges.

    The Skerrit led DLP government is presently super corrupt. This is the single biggest reason for the anorexic wages and salaries of public servants, the pittance given to pensioners, the inability to fund very important infrastructural projects, etcetera. The government has to repay every cent of that ill-gotten wealth to lending institutions. Consequently, critically needed projects suffer. For much too long too many Dominicans have been living in dirt poor conditions, can’t afford a nutritious meal, can’t pay their utility bills regularly, can’t save enough money for a rainy day. It’s time to change the change of 2000. It has been much too long. The longer a government stays in power the more corrupt and dictatorial it becomes. The economic turbulence that this government has put the country through is much too long. There is no hope for the foreseeable future under Skerrit’s abysmal leadership. They have to go!

      – how are they are to purchase all the vehicles that are on the roads, one can’t even find parking in Roseau on an average day.
      – How are they able to buy all the latest outfits they wear
      – How are they able to go to all the jams all dressed to impress
      – How are they able to hang out at all the bars around the island
      – how are they able to afford all the high-end phones they walk around with

      That’s a very short list of questions re Dominicans ability to acquire material things

      If you feel that the government needs to change, use a more intelligent reason don’t just repeat the same ole, same ole reasons that UWP has been using for donkey years. You guys need to come up with some fresh ideas, some fresh strategies.

        I thought a thousand times if I should reply to your feeble defence of this uniquely unqualified group of misfits who currently holds the country at ransom. Unemployment is astronomically high especially among the youth population. In fact, it is the highest in the sub region. Wages are abysmally low, anorexic. Many businesses have shut up shop permanently because of the relentlessly appalling performance of the economy. Too many people go to sleep on empty stomachs. Water and electricity supplies are frequently disconnected because the jobless can’t keep abreast with their payments for these two vital services. Most vehicles bought are used ones. Too many residents have to depend exclusively on remittances sent from overseas. That’s the reason many of them manage to survive. Got it?

            What are you talking about people not liking what I post on Facebook–you are not on Facebook; you do not know that.

            I follow with a political group of over 1000 people when I post to that group my message is overwhelmingly received

            But my posts here or on Facebook is my duty from God; He has chosen those who will receive Him through me, they are all over the World.

            Of course, the World is plagued with demons like you; who has nothing else to do but to antagonize everyone–they have no power against me, and neither do you.

            Also, I am convinced that you cannot leave me alone, because my spirit is haunting you, and I will do so right into your grave of darkness. God’s vengeance against you, for me.
