We will all
agree that the gentleman’s concern as expressed in the video is very much in
line with the question that many have been asking of the Prime Minister of
Dominica, Mr. Roosevelt Skerrit. It is a well-established fact that prior to his political career PM Roosevelt Skerrit was a struggling school
teacher with not even a “kaiye Poule"
(Fowl Cage) to his name. Even the notorious Krazy Tee once told the listeners
of his radio program that he and others had to essentially set up a collection basket in order to purchase
Roosevelt Skerrit’s first suit for his swearing in ceremony as a minister under
the Roosevelt Douglas led DLP administration. Following the death of two prime
ministers, all within a spate of three years Roosevelt Skerrit was mysteriously
appointed leader and prime minister of the Labor Party led government.
People who knew
Roosevelt Skerrit prior to his political career have always said that he was a
young man engrossed by avarice, greed and selfishness. Immediately following his ascension into the
position of Prime minister of Dominica Roosevelt Skerrit wasted no time
pursuing his self-enrichment goals. Under the leadership of PM Skerrit
the government has been plagued with malfeasance and many allegations of
corrupt activities involving PM Roosevelt Skerrit.
Among the very many accusations of corruption the Prime
Minister has been asked to respond to allegations of his ownership of the over $8 Million Villas in
the Savanne Paille area and the affordability of the PM’s almost $2 Million mansion in Vielle Case.
In spite of the overwhelming evidence pointing to bulk corruption
and evidence of the PM’s enigmatic wealth, the PM, his apologists and mercenaries
continue to deny the allegations of criminality and wrong doing. However the PM
with his hubris and posture of unassailability seem unable to hide or contain the
symptoms of his mysterious “affluenza” and luxurious tendencies.
We have been reliably informed that sometime early in
2017 the popular and international disk jockey, Trinidadian DJ Private Ryan was
hired by the Prime Minister and brought in for one night just to DJ at a
private birthday party for either Melissa or one of the PM’s kids. We are more
inclined to believe that it was Melissa’s as this kind of fanfare and
celebration is her thing. The former bar tender has shown that she has a great
affinity for the finest things in life. It is alleged that DJ Private Ryan was
paid US $20,000 just for the one night engagement. Let’s wait and see how the apologists spin this one.
There are a million and half things wrong with the PM Skerrit paying DJ Ryan all the way out of Trinidad US $20,000 for a one night engagement in Dominica. What is considered most sadistic is that even in late 2016 efforts were being made to grow and promote the “Djaying” profession in Dominica. A DJ competition was organized and in that competition were eleven (11) registered DJ’s out of Dominica and a winning prize of $2500. It is only logical to suggest that not one of these disk jockeys or any of the other popular ones not shown on the list was considered worthy of Djaying at Skerrit’s organized birthday party for his wife or kid.

Our people are so duped by PM Skerrit’s con games that
many will see nothing worth raising eyebrows at a US $20,000 gig for a DJ; even
some of the disk jockeys in Dominica will find ways to endorse the PM’s
decision to hire DJ Private Ryan for one night out of Trinidad for a birthday
party celebration when one of them could have done the job.
Soon Melissa Skerrit will be going around handing out
gift baskets with pampers and toiletries donated by agencies selling passports and many
Dominicans will convince themselves that this is the ideal life - A PM and his
wife showing counterfeit affection to a people who have become impoverished at
the hands of the same prime minister and at the same time the PM is arrogantly
displaying a life of extreme luxury
through illicit self-enrichment while serving in government.
When MiTC wrote about the PM’s son attending a spendy
high school for kids of millionaires and billionaires in New York City, some
people made it seem like MiTC was attacking the PM’s kid and deliberately
ignored the moral of the story. How did
the Prime Minister Skerrit go from “vere Tere” to a filthy rich flamboyant millionaire
on a prime minister’s salary?
Corruption should always be a bitter pill to swallow when
economic growth is absent and particularly when there is gaping disparity
between the opulent life style of the prime minister and that of the masses in
Dominica. Lets see how much longer the people will tolerate such a farce.
