The charge stated that on February 7th, 2017 he was involved in incitement by encouraging, persuading, or instigating by words, causing persons to jeopardize the safety or endanger the public peace, following a UWP meeting at which calls were made for the resignation of PM Roosevelt Skerrit.
This Escalated quickly I muss say.. I wonder who is getting paid…
All I have to say is, if Dominicans do not rise up to this then nothing will get their attention again, this is war
No one is above the Law. Accountability in key to any thriving democracy.
But, ah wah deh arse meh ah hear yah??? Are they serious? Yuh mean with all dih shit Skerritt doing, Dominicans are letting this go on..?Yuh all went home for carnival, where is the Airport? Are any of you still stuck in Barbados or Antigua?
At 80 years; I don’t expect to live 80 years more, therefore I would have sent the one-man rogue regime rotting in hell for eternity!! I wouldn’t allow a man who’s far from being 80 robbing the resources of the island to drag me to court like that, the one-man rogue chichi family would be left to mourn!!!
Ah try dem ah try wi? wait deh man. Bare lightning an thunda ayou wah see bun up Dominica? Free Eddie Now!!!
I hope their lawyer put up a good defense as to why the speaker of the house is now free for something he was part of and had his time in court for. Is committing a crime right once you join the ruling party. Belle Beff.
So skerrit can siphon millions and no one can challenge his position?
Stick to the issue. Where and how has Skeritt siphoned millions? Political propaganda is not acceptable evidence.
