UWP supports CBI Program but ….

Linton at a press conference on Friday

Leader of the Opposition and political leader of the United Workers Party (UWP), Lennox Linton, has said his party supports the Citizenship by Investment Program (CBI) but has serious concerns over the way it is being operated in Dominica.

The UWP held a press conference on Friday to address what Linton said were matters of concern over the island’s CBI Program. It also came following Linton’s appearance on CBS 60 Minutes on the matter, which has created much controversy in Dominica.

During the press conference, he stated the UWP’s position on the CBI Program, the party’s concerns and his rationale for appearing on CBS.

“Well number one, the CBI Program in Dominica, while we support it, we also know and are concerned that the program has been mismanaged and corrupted to become primarily a source of Labour Party election campaign financing and wealth creation for a select few people, while millions promised to national development in constituencies like Marigot, remain unspent,” he said

Secondly, Linton believes that there is a lack of accountability and transparency in Dominica in the program.

“I speak to the media locally, regionally and internationally because complaints about a lack of accountability and transparency and the dangers of a CBI Program without integrity to global security have fallen on the deaf ears of a stubborn, incourage able government,” he said.

Thirdly he stated that Dominica has a ‘moral obligation’ to responsible behavior towards global civilization.

“Dominica, thirdly, has a moral obligation to responsible behavior for the advancement of global civilization,” Linton stated. “It has absolutely no right to engage in behaviors that endanger the security of other countries on the excuse that such behavior is driven my economic necessities.”

He stated that the CBI Program must be done in such a manner so as not to present Dominica as dangers to global security, as hindrances to the global fight against money laundering and terrorism.

Linton is also standing by what he said on 60 Minutes after he was heavily criticized by member of the rul

“He said what he meant, meant what he said in the public interest of Dominica,” he remarked. “He was correctly quoted and represented on the program.”

Meanwhile Linton said all the people of Dominica must benefit ‘meaningfully’ from the sale of the island’s passport.

‘That is what we stand for, that is what we insist on and that is something I will not depart from,” he stated. “It doesnt’t matter how they curse me, it doesn’t matter where they curse me, it doesn’t matter how they dehumanize and demonize me, I will stand for the people’s right to get their fair share of passport money in Dominica.”

    Nassif you’re so right!! No wonder we got all these documents from a bank in DA requesting proof of citizenship, SS, W-2 FORM, EIN#, Proof of Income Tax Form for 2015 etc. Thishasnever happened before. They are cracking down on Dominicans living abroad. It doesn’t matter how long you have bank account in DA. All the years we have never had any of this scrutiny. You are so right, and that is so damaging. Mi mize papa?

    Should not have let the international community know that we are officially unofficially a freeport…

    Although i somewhat agree with what is being said… putting Dominica in such a bad spotlight is rather terrible for business.

    This should have been handled locally.

    We can be plain to see for our people, yes; however, with this mal-reputation we now have, its like you’ve just locked us into the island.

  6. Passport Sales Bring in $20 million Dollars a Month
    January 7, 2017

    Passport sales is now our Nr. 1 export. It brings in $20 million into our cash-starved economy each month paying for civil servant salaries, public services, roads, bridges and such like.

    Dr. Skerrit takes only a small amount of that money for himself, his agents and cabinet ministers. We know you want a cut of the action, but please try be be not so greedy. There is only so much of that money to spare for people who are trying to destroy the very industry they expect to put money in their pockets.

  9. January 7, 2017

    How is the program not transparent? How does the program lack accountability? These are simple questions. All am hearing from the opposition is the lack of accountability and transparency of the program, without explanation.
    Is the application processed flawed? Are the monies collected not deposited to specific accounts as stipulated by law? Are monies collected under the control government? Who controls the accounts? What are the monies used for? Is the vetting process flawed? These are some of the questions that needs to be addressed when talking about lack of accountability and transparency. Just saying that the program lacks transparency and accountability is not enough.

    Dominica and St Kitts are the only Islands who have educated their people about the CBI Program. I have spoken to Antiguans about it and they have no idea about what it’s about.
    Some of the projects the CBI programs is geared towards in Dominica
    The New Petite Savanne village
    Jungle Bay resort
    Road Rehabilitation
    Cabrits Kempinski Resort
    Marriott Dominica
    Dominicans doesn’t listen to news or read the news. The Prime Minister outlined that the screening process of every individuals are done at 2 Law firms in the US, 1 in Canada, 1 in Britain and the JRCC in the Caribbean. It is not a mailing order business and the monies are collected at the Bank. If there was some Bobol story then it would’ve leaked. How much more transparent you meed. I live overseas and I can tell you guys about the program because I listen to DBS. You can never learn from Q95.

    “The CBI in its current form will be suspended immediately by an incoming UWP administration”. That should be the policy position of the UWP.

    The Dominican electorate is a simple, unsophisticated one in these matters. They see things in black or white. So it becomes difficult for us to understand that the passport selling programme is so bad yet UWP would continue to sell passorts when they get in power. Your opposition to the CBI will never be understood by Dominicans unless you take a radically opposed position and stop the sale of passorts entirely. I don’t know why this is so difficult for the UWP to understand!!!

    Plato the point is you live in the U.S. So you do not suffer under the Skeritt regime so you can afford to be flamboyant with your views. Let Skeritt and his surrogates let the people know about the CBI programs and who is benefiting.

    How many times does UWP have to repeat that the party is in favor of the CBI program.What the leadership of the party and many of it’s followers and others are saying repeatedly to the Skerritt led government is that there is need for openness, transparency, accountability and the government respect the requests for more information from time to time.Each time questions are asked it is always seen as a hostile attack and none of your damn business.If we are all in it then there are avenues through which Skerritt can respond.He has a press secretary and others who have been briefed and who can attempt to respond.If those representatives need further information they can easily get that and address the peoples concern.As a matter of fact there should be regularly scheduled opportunities to present information about the CBI to the Dominican people.Skerrit the opposition supports the CBI and have a right and obligation to question it from time to time

We saw the program and it was as usual bringing down the country and her people. But this time you have gone way too far and hope you can recognize that, sooner rather than later.

    You have sabotaged Dominica’s CBI program and maybe that of the Caribbean’s on the whole for a few seconds on 60 Minutes.

    LET SKERRO PUT FORTH THE NECESSARY INFO TO COUNTERACT THESE ALLEGATIONS…. since he hasn’t done this and just keeps saying Lennox is trying to destroy DA…then I will hold on to what Lennox is saying. It is very easy to discredit what Lennox has been saying for years…..all skerro needs to do is make the process more transparent; tell us how the CBI money is being used, tell us how much is truly being made, tell us how many has passports and diplomat passports have been sold and to or in what country. This info would not hamper the integrity of the CBI program, since their names are not being made public…not even that he wants to inform the public of. But when you have his besties and boys depositing millions into their personal bank accounts, he can’t possibly do this, instead he enters into a battle of words and keep saying Lennox lying like a cry, cry baby!!!!!

    I am still aghast by what I have just read. This level of arrogance and stupidity defies comprehension. Are you a representative of the world or Dominica? How is what you did in the interest of Dominica? How great are the chances of a young person from Marigot getting a US visa now.
    Mr Linton, I live in the United States, and that’s the talk among all those I meet. What hurts me most is to hear them say, “It’s a good thing I am no longer a Dominican. I am an American. So is allu who carry Dominican passport problem.” It’s idiotic to think that you have done your country and your country men a service.
    There is a problem. Yes. And should we solve it ? Yes. But you don’t burn down your house to get rid of a rodent infestation?

      Mixing grapes with apples re your rodent and house problem. The CBI is very different. What exactly did mr Linton said that had not already been said?

      Re the chances of Marigot people getting visas – it will remain as difficult as it is now. You all seem to fail to realise that the CBI problem will affect the region, not just Dominica. The difference between Dominica and other regional islands is the opportunities THEY HAVE. Dominica is the only Caribbean island solely dependent on the revenues from the programme. What will happen when that program is clamped down? what will happen when the market dries?

      UWP now suddenly supports the CBI program! Right! You mean the mail order one? You mean the one where Dominica’s sovereignty is being sold?

      So tarnishing the name of Dominica for all Dominicans on CBS was the best way to address all the concerns (true or false) raised? Will the producer of sixty minutes now come with a sledge hammer and beat the government into correctness?

      If the general claims of corruption benefits for a few is to be accepted, should we also accept the counter claims that all the fuss and fight is to get Henley and Partners’ hands on the loot so that another set of people can benefit? This Henley & Partners allegation has been around for a long time and it is now beginning to stick because this action on CBS was almost like desperation and a representative of Henley & Partners featured prominently in all of this. I do not think I have heard any denial about the association with Henley and Partners in any forum. What’s the difference then?

      @ Plato, this young person from Marigot getting a visa to go to the US and most likely trying their best not to return to Dominica helps us in what way? are you listening to yourself with this inferiority mentality?

      Now I do see a lot of sense in what you are trying to bring forward here, surely enough there’s more to it than just that layman’s extrapolation that I chose to mention; but, moving on from that, it should be noted that this man and many other Dominicans have been trying ( very unsuccessfully ) to have the current administration be more transparent about this CBI program.
      This program has the potential to have positive impacts on the country and citizens, we deserve the right to know a lot more than we do at this moment, and, we also should be respected enough to be able to understand this information, because sometimes I personally feel like I’m just a tax paying object when I hear\see some of the responses and interactions both sides have with us.

      A country where the Prime Minister said \”Dominica does not have $67, 000,000.00 dollars is tome a bankrupt country. There are individuals who throw that amount of money down the drain in a matter of weeks. If Dominica\’s was a thriving Skerrit would not have to depend on the sale of Diplomatic, and ordinary passports to prevent the total economy of Dominica which is on the brink of collapsing!,it is just a matter of time before the nation collapsed under Skerrit.

      All idiots like you can do is focus on Lennox; but the reality Skerrit is the one who holds all blame, because he has done nothing to improve the unemployment situation in the country. I bet you do not have a job!

      Jobs in a country is what creates a good economy, Lennox…

      However, he has a point… There is a seriously lack of transparency… Running the countries funds in such a masonic manner, i question his actions.

      Linton on the other hand… needs to get a grip on his methods of approach. Behaving like a f***** child gets you zero respect from me or my ilk. I have no problem with what he is saying, but more so how it is being carried.

      Bottom line… we need different leadership.. choosing the better poison between “Bloodz” and “Creepz” is not something i was brought up to do.

      You wish you were in his place, but unfortunately you are not, what a shame!!!

    He needs to give specifics when making these serious allegations. Just saying a program is corrupt morning, noon and night does not cut it. We need the hard evidence or Linton should shut up.

      He gave specifics as to what the matters of concern were about the CIP. He gave specifics on transparency of information, mismanagement of money received from the program being used for otherwise things not promised. He did not “just say a program is corrupt.” Morning, noon and night is a day. How many days will it take for you to read and listen to the evidence to see the issues and problems. Huh?
      Thanks

        That is where I will fit my comment, ‘WHAT SEEMS TO BE INCONSISTENT’. Excuse me, but are we getting more thirsty in the abundance of water. Lennox Linton is the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, and he cannot provide you with one thread of proof that there is inconsistency in the CBI Programme and the use of funds. so Lennox Linton went on CBS with only his belief and you are so colored you forgot about the harm to your country and there you are supporting treason, yes TREASON. The budget address spelt out the use of funds from that programme, did Lennox Linton find evidence that the funds were being used to fatten the pockets of a select few? Is the NEP Programme and the Yes We Care a select few? Is the re settlement of Petite Savanne people a select few? I wish you get your Prime Minister Linton and I want to be alive but away from here, so I can read the words of your tears. wake up, look beyond color and put Dominica first, how this act benefit Dominica????

      LET SKERRO PUT FORTH THE NECESSARY INFO TO COUNTERACT THESE ALLEGATIONS…. since he hasn’t done this and just keeps saying Lennox is trying to destroy DA…then I will hold on to what Lennox is saying. It is very easy to discredit what Lennox has been saying for years…..all skerro needs to do is make the process more transparent; tell us how the CBI money is being used, tell us how much is truly being made, tell us how many has passports and diplomat passports have been sold and to or in what country. This info would not hamper the integrity of the CBI program, since their names are not being made public…not even that he wants to inform the public of. But when you have his besties and boys depositing millions into their personal bank accounts, he can’t possibly do this, instead he enters into a battle of words and keep saying Lennox lying like a cry, cry baby!!!!!

      Clearly you either missed the CBS interview, where CBS NEWS presented the evidence of the many shady character that were given diplomatic passports…or you missed the Huffington Post article that reported the same…or you know nothing of SKERRIT’S LAWSUIT AGAINST THOMSON FONTAINE for highligting this very information about shady diplomats, which had already been reported in many foreign news publications.

      READ PEOPLE READ! And stop feigning ignorance to protect corrupt politicians. If Dominica was thriving one could possibly be sympathetic to this program. But look at the other islands engaged in the same business…they are way ahead of Dominica in terms of Development.

      The Dominica Labor Party has certainly done a number of the minds of DOminicans. Never have I seen a people be so proud to be foolish and exploited!

      There’s a simple way to shut Lennox up. Skerritt shoul simple provide the evidence of how the money received from selling Dominica’s sovereignty for 16 years was used to benefit Dominica. Show Dominicans where the mone is. The fund are in the treasury show us is our money we want to see it and how much was spent to do what for ale of us.
