UWP tours government airport site in Wesley; Linton demands that government makes site studies public

UWP delegation (Linton, centre) examines what appears to be a map

As the Government of Dominica moves ahead with its plans to acquire 411 acres of land in Wesley for the construction of the long-awaited international airport, the main opposition United Worker Party (UWP), is demanding that the administration make available to residents the various studies which will support their claim that the land that was previously acquired, is not suitable.

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has said that the Government’s decision to seek another location was based on the findings of a team of local experts which was set up in 2008 to review previous studies on the construction of an international airport in Dominica.

Speaking during a walkthrough on February 28, 2021, of the proposed area where the government plans to build the airport, Leader of the UWP, Lennox Linton, reiterated that a report approved by the International Civil Aviation Authority  in 1998 recommended the Londonderry site for the airport and labelled as “irresponsible”, the government’s decision to uproot residents in the Wesley and Woodfordhill areas.

“We’re talking about the feasibility study, the geotechnical study, the environmental impact assessment studies, the environmental impact analysis. All of the market surveys were done, the master plan the site development plan, etc, and then land was purchased, over one thousand acres on what was described in the parliament of Dominica by members of the Dominica Labour Party, the Dominica Freedom Party coalition government as the most suitable site for the international airport in Dominica,” he said.

The UWP leader  says while all of the studies done in support of the Londonderry site have been presented to the public, the Roosevelt Skerrit-led administration has not presented any of their studies to the general public.

“The people of Dominica,  especially the people of Wesley whose village is going to be destroyed by the proposed international airport development of the Dominica Labour Party, have the right to know what is going on. The state spent 29 million dollars on the suitable site for the airport 23 years ago, now you’re telling the people they must find more money to destroy Wesley, destroy their village on the promise that you’re going to build an international  airport?” Linton asked.

He insists that the people have the right to see the studies that are going to justify that decision.

“That’s what good governance is all about. So we make the demand again this afternoon that the studies were done by consultants working for the Dominica Labour Party, that justifies that moving to a new site from the one that we had 23 years ago is absolutely necessary and we need to see it now,” Linton declared.

The opposition leader added that while no site development plan has been presented, lands are being taken away from the residents in the Wesley area, who have no choice but to accept the offers from the regime who he says has neglected them over the years.

“This is an economy that the Labour Party has placed under severe stress for the last twenty years and are intimidating people of Dominica behind the bars of need,” he said. “So all of the farmers of this area who  cannot find a sale for their products, who no longer find agriculture  to be a worthwhile  area of livelihood engagement, all of the families struggling to make ends meet would only be too happy to hear that the government has a cheque for you for a few hundred thousand for the property you are leaving right now so that you can do something with the money.”

The Marigot MP said while the Government remains tight-lipped about who the developers of the international airport are, his party has reason to believe that the Montreal Management Consultant Est (MMCE) are the ones behind the project.

Linton alleges that MMCE has over 2 billion dollars that belong to the people of Dominica, stashed away in foreign accounts, which they intend to use to finance the airport.

“We don’t know how this is going to turn out. We hear a lot of talk about the government developing a company or incorporating some airport development company; we heard about the appointment of a CEO. What kind of company is going to be running this airport show? Is it a statutory corporation? Is it a public company in which the Minister of Government is going to be holding shares? What’s the story about these companies? because right now we do not know. Nothing has come to the parliament. If it’s a statutory corporation, it has to be enacted by an act of parliament,” the UWP leader stated.

He urged Dominicans, especially those from the community of Wesley, Woodford Hill, and Marigot to demand answers from the government about this “reckless development programme that is going on right now.”

As to his party’s next course of action, Linton says they have been patient and understanding, as they do, in fact, support the development of an international airport in Dominica, but not the approach that the Skerrit-led administration is taking.

“A lot of people have asked why we haven’t been saying anything. Well, the government probably needs some chance to get it right but the more time that passes, the more we recognize the reckless and dangerous work that the government has been doing. So we are forced right now to raise these issues, to voice these concerns,” he said.

Linton is of the view that if the government does continue with its plans for the international airport at the present location, this will ultimately lead to the end of the village of Wesley.

“So the question for the people of Wesley: is that what you want? Is the money that is going to end up in the hands of some people for their property worth the destruction of the village of Wesley as we know it?”

While the Prime Minister has announced that work will commence in the first quarter of 2021, the opposition leader believes that it’s not too late to stand up and take action.

    Hello and good afternoon my people. In my view we don’t need an International Airport because we don’t have the travelers to make the airport profitable. I have been coming home almost twice a year since I retired in 2009 and the plane I traveled on has never been full of passengers. We should divert the Marigot River and lengthened the Runway of the current airport to accommodate large aircrafts. The government of the Virgin Islands didn’t build an international airport after the plane crashed in 1978 rather they extended the runway of the current airport. Hho is going to pay back the loans/debt.

    “So we make the demand again this afternoon that the studies were done by consultants working for the Dominica Labour Party, that justifies that moving to a new site from the one that we had 23 years ago is absolutely necessary and we need to see it now,” Linton declared.” News Article

    This is so, so childish! Give me what I had before–and if not then what?

    Linton another word for “demand” is “command” but you foolishly use that term every time you want the government to do as you please, have you not notice by now, that it is not working?

    Not only is your call very rude, it also makes no sense–it is like saying you want what you chose, not what the Government chooses–but who are you?

    Even if Mr. Skerrit was not the Prime Minister; say like a regular man, he would still reject your rude commands without saying a word to you–don’t you notice that this always happens, so to use another approach, if at all, you want to get his attention?

      But the more unintelligent some of you are is the more nonsense; the more crap you write believing you are smart.

      Lennox, nor any member of any other political party does not have to kiss Roosevelt Skerrit Butt!

      If you need to kiss his behind that is your prerogative; the duty of the opposition is to represent the people who voted for them in the parliament; the duty of the opposition is to object to the wrong when they find the ruling government is doing something contrary to the will of the people; and that is all the people of Dominica.

      The opposition is not suppose to cover up corruption, the opposition is duty bound to exposed a corrupted government, and corruption in government.

      By the same token if the government proposals are good; oppositions, are duty bound to support the ruling government.

    From a safety perspective, Looking at the location of both sites, it would appear that the new site seem a lot safer for a pilot to pull out of a landing procedure if the plane develop issues while attempting landing. Whereas with the older site there isn’t much room for that sort of procedure considering how close the runway is located to the mountains ahead. I would hate to see a plane loaded with passengers heading straight into a mountain if it develop issues while attempting to land. Where as, it would seem much easier to bank right, back on to the open sea space and abort the landing, which is what the new site seem to offer. Linton should stop playing politics with this country’s development efforts and support rather than trying to impede. If Linton was in power Dominicans would be still riding on Donkey Karts and using Pit latrines and living in galvanise shacks. Wake up and smell the coffee, Linton!

      That is because you do not know anything about aviation, and alignment of International Airports; man where  the UWP, and Edison James were building the airport; on approach there is a seven miles of safety prior to commenced descending; and also a seven miles safety net in case of having to abort on takeoff. 

      Again I will asks you; do you believe that the government of Trinidad & Tobago would have loaned the UWP hundreds of millions of dollars to construct an International Airport on land, or in a geographic location that’s not suitable for that purpose?
      Question; how many International Airports are there in Trinidad & Tobago?
      Who constructed, and build them?
      Trinidad Engineers Contractors, and laborers built them all!
      As far as I know there has never been a commercial passenger jet aircraft crashing on landing or takeoff in Trinidad; in more than seventy years!

      Eagle eye, you go down there with a team of aviation experts? Or you just saying anything to attack Linton?

      If a study was done where is it? We are Dominica and when decisions like these are taken, the people who take them are required to be transparent and show that assessment to us. So far we are not seeing transparency, all we can see is that the UWP site assessment was made publicly available. The DLP site assessment is not publicly available. In the mean time Wesley people are being displaced by questionable airport plans.

      That airport talk been around for decades. Years of promises/no delivery. Now we see all this activity and we are weary that the DLP is leading us down a dead end road as they have done for years.

      We all want this airport, red and blue. Problem is, red will make excuses if it is not delivered! Skerrit we need a timeline so we can hold you accountable!

    A point to ponder is that by not having the multiple arrivals associated with an international airport we have largely avoided the Corona pandemic.

    Perhaps the safest place to be at this point in time is on a small island with limited access. Given our potential for self-sufficiency we could be the envy of the rest of the world.

    “(UWP), is demanding that the administration make available to residents the various studies which will support their claim that the land that was previously acquired, is not suitable.”
    Asking that question over, and over again will not help; because everyone knows that Roosevelt Skerrit do have an ulterior  motive; he dose not want to use the land that was acquired  by the UWP while in government.

    It is simply a matter of dirty stupid politics; many of us knows that in addition to the government of Trinidad & Tobago loaning the then UWP 80% the cost of building the International Airport; the engineers and contractors were in Dominica getting in the first phase of the the construction when the Labor Party government chased them out of the country!

    At this point Roosevelt should be taken into a court of law; we know that that the legal system, judges and magistrates favors Roosevelt; but at this point the resolve is to seek an injunction from the court to stop him!

      Multiple geological studies were conducted before the site at Joe between Wesley and Woodford Hill was selected and confirmed!
      Can anyone with an infant commonsense believe that a government; to be precise the government of Trinidad, would loan the UWP which was the ruling government of that day more than four hundred million dollars which was the cost thirty plus years ago to be wasted on a site which they knew was no good to accommodate an International Airport?
      Note: Argyle International Airport in St. Vincent construction cost was US$259 million dollars equivalent of EC$700, million dollars. Now this boy Roosevelt have found himself having to find more than a billion dollars, probably two billion dollars today, which Dominica does not have in the government treasury to build Airport!

          A contract was signed!There are ramification in the contract; which we hope would have given the present day government and even the Labor Party which shut it down a certain amount of years guarantee which would come from the builder “the government of Trinidad & Tobago;” that in the event something happened to the construction due to negligence or substandard construction work; they the Trinidadians would be responsible.

Lennox Linton and his trusted competent professional trustworthy formidable United Workers Party UWP. Good luck my people, let’s wake up and smell the coffee and take our Dominica back. This current failed incompetent fake failed leadership and Labour government must “; Go to Hell…Go to Hell…” It’s our Damn Business. We need new inspiration decent trusted committed DOMINICANS to run our States government and resources. Good luck 😃🍀 my people, welcome Hon. Lennox Linton.

    DNO, I feel that the news media and journalists have tremendous social influence. However, the Dominican people are being shortchanged by the cowardice, intellectual laziness and the political biases the fourth estate.

    When the government does good be propulsive in your praise. When they are corrupt and engaged in wrongdoings expose them. A coward accomplishes very little if anything. I’m not expecting you nor any other media house to be biased but speak truth to power whenever the opportunity present itself for you to do this.

    This is coming from an ardent supporter of fearless journalism.

    The Dominican people expect Mr. Linton to do most if not all of the heavy lifting to rid the country of Xi’s errand boy and his scandal-plagued plutocracy. That’s wishful thinking, a fantasy.

    What is needed to loosen the stranglehold that the poorly educated dictator has on Dominica is a ground swell of support against this oppressive regime. It MUST come from civil society – the business sector, the clergy, the NEWS MEDIA, the diaspora, the ordinary man and woman. Anything short of this will not succeed.

    Getting rid of Sherrie, his armed bandits (police) and his pliable entourage is like pushing a humongous boulder up to the top of a mountain and down the other side into the sea. It will take the collective effort of almost everyone to get that heavy, slimy boulder up and over the top of this figurative mountain.

    Nothing good comes easy but good always prevails over evil eventually.

    The Prime Minister has adopted a different style from our traditional leaders. He does not see much value in consultation with common folks because apparently he was blessed with the know-it-all of Kings and Pharaoh’s.
    He is of the opinion that the best advise comes from outsiders and that his ppl are satisfied to merely subsist on what little he deems fit.
    No amount of talking and agitation will make him change his mind, not whilst the majority blindly revere and worship his philanthropic misdeeds as if he himself goes out of his way to build them houses and deliver them hams and turkeys during Christmas.
    Let’s all wait for the airport on passport money..smh!!

Well, in company with failed fake incompetent Skerrit what on earth can we not expect of your funny Laughing. It appears you laugh out loud to let us know by that you’re laughing out loud at your Failed incompetent Skerrit and his failed questionable incompetent Labour government.
      Skerrit tenure in our Government has been this failure and incompetence and it’s time that he ” “Goes to Hell…. Go to Hell…..he’s non of our Damn business..”. He’s a failure ably supported by his failed immnature Labour party Government.
      Dominica is urgently in need of a change of Government and Failed Skerrit is Incompetent, a fsikuy and Dunn to Socioeconomic development concept.
      We welcome visionary and leadership material in our Distinguished current leader of the Opposition, Our Hon. Lennox Linton and formidable decent trusted committed realiable UWP Team Dominica. Gods Blessings 🙏 and…

      When and where did the UWP stop an airport? like is being done now, Euginia said that the Americans were coming to clear land but she had no plans, no studies done and no finance in place to undertake the project. So there was no airport stopped by UWP. You people should stop with this falsehood and admit that what is taking place in Dominica is totally wrong. Euginia, Parry Bellot and Rupert Sorindo dismantled an almost completed stadium at canopied and Roosevelt skerritt demolished a stadium in Roseau which was well on its way to take a piece of substandard crop from China. So go think about those things before coming in the public to talk nonsense, as Parry said people like you should not have an opinion

      Dominicans are the most confounded liars on the planet; I am beginning to hate the fact that I am a Wesley Dominica born.
      You are so lie and confounded you do not know you are a liar!

      How the hell could the UWP stop an airport from building; when it is the Labor Party in cahoots  with the Dominica Freedom Party who formed a coalition  government lead by the late Roosevelt “Rosie” Douglas Pierre Charles; living Athie Martin, Roosevelt Skerrit; Charles Savarin; whom shut down the International Airport that the UWP was building between the villages of Wesley and Woodford Hill?

      You are as sick and lie as any human or animal can be.

      Dominica is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere; you believe lies and innuendos, truth has no part with Roosevelt and the idiots who lie for the hell of it, in order to enhance your hate for others; meanwhile you all are poor like dirt, depending on handouts.

      Like an idiot you have no name!

      Lin, the Political clown 🤡 that you are says absolutely nothing of importance to me and our people.

    Lennox Linton, is a sad old dope this guy has never missed an opportunity to make his self look a fool, Linton, and his looney bin looking at a map but none of them know what they looking at Weemama look idiots.

      But; Mr. Man Dog, you all are not fair you know; you and others criticize Lennox for absolutely no other reason besides your hate of him!

      You know I have a brother I did not know I have; over the last weekend I made contact with him, after all these years we are both little ole man now; we got in some political argument I must admit; I mentioned Lennox Linton, my brother got so angry, and said he does not want to even hear Lennox name.

      He went on to say he dislike Lennox because Lennox does not wave, he does smile, Lennox is just grabbing, how he has a $400,000.00 dollar Gym in his house, and he is not doing anything for the country: He went on to say Lennox does not have any friends in opposition in the Caribbean to help do anything in Dominica.

      No need to say everything above my brother noted is total nonsense; so I let him finish talking:

      Will Continue.

        If you think I can debate or argue; this new found brother can chew up ten like me and spew them out of his mouth; anyway when he was finish talking about how he don’t like Lennox; I asks him “do you know that your grandmother, and my grandmother is Lennox Linton biological aunt?

        I say that only to show you what hate can do; Man Dog, politics is simply a matter of a difference in opinions!

        With that said; any person with intelligence and have knowledge of how ruling government and opposition works would not have believed the things that my brother believe.

        Now; I draw to his attention that under Roosevelt many industries has left Dominica; I mentioned Ross University School of Medicine left Dominica after operating there for over forty (40) years; my brother told me that Ross was never in Dominica for forty years!

        You Mr. Dog; our people are not politically educated, it is about hate, but the hate is an obstacle in the way of development of the country.

      Our HON. Lennox Linton is a formidable, comoetet, mature, politically focused Dominican who has done alot for our People and our Dominica. We welcome his maturity, disciplined, ficuyseft, has our Struggling Dominica at Heart 💓💖. For Hon. Linton has done well for our people and our Dominica. He’s exceptionally concerned and had a Big Heart💖 for our Dominica and our people. He knows that Skerrit is a failure and a fake and pappyshow politician seeking fame and loyalty from those who are poor and unemployed while he conscrews and abused our states finances through his personal Deceptive “Red Clinic”. There is no meaningful focus on Socioeconomic development and upliftment of Development for our people and our nature Isle. Skerrit has stained our poor struggling families and people for fame and loyalty through his devious Red Bobolistic Clinic the abuse of states funds, a handout system managed by him and he alone just for our people to shout and say “;We Love Our PM” a fake failed…
