In
Tony Astaphan’s bid to justify his surreptitious request for the arrest and persecution of Arthie Martin after the protest on Saturday he drifted into
praising the government for receiving the assets that was bundled under the
lease agreement between the Ross University and the government of Dominica. But
as usual little Tony’s lies and his prowess always fall short; The shameless liar
was not even able to impress his gullible comrades on Kairi FM with a few buildings at Ross when Landlords with millions of dollars in apartments, restaurants and supermarkets are under duress.
Even
if it came from Tony Astaphan, it is true that the government is now in
possession of a few buildings on the main campus. As we understand it, the
lease agreement between Ross and the state did make provisions for the government
and people of Dominica to have possession of the buildings erected on the land
that was leased to the Ross University should Ross depart the island. We also understand
that some items that were brought in under duty free arrangements may have
fallen in the possession of the state. That may be the reason why some custom
officers were also dispatched to the Ross compound.

It was
no surprise that Tony tried to make some footage with the fact that the
government was able to gain possession of a few buildings on Ross campus. Tony
is desperate and always in search of relevance. But the irony in Tony’s
moonshine is that while he wants Dominica to rejoice about a few building
shells at Ross some of the government ministers have mysteriously accumulated
assets that are worth much more than the few buildings that people of Dominica
were able to salvage at Ross University. Dominicans must not forget that Ross is gone
simply because the Roosevelt Skerrit administration has failed Ross and the
people of Dominica. We should also not allow an insecure and diabolical little twerp
with his own selfish motives to relegate the
loss of a forty year institution that accounted for 30% of Dominica’s
GDP, all in an effort to keep gas lighting the people of Dominica.
In a
previous article we reported that the Roosevelt Skerrit administration had been
franticly working on staging a pre-election scam with the hope of having a ground-breaking
ceremony at the Ross University campus. They wanted to announce that a University
out of Malaysia would be coming to Dominica. We have since learned that the
furious scheme is not working well for the Skerrit administration. DLP
supporters who were appointed to be part of a Rosss task force are already
beginning to realize that this is just another one of Skerrit’s two-faced operation.
To stage the pre-election scam skerrit and his goons began with an aggressive campaign to get the remaining Ross personnel and
the foreign contractor out of the targeted buildings. In the haste to embarrass
Ross and to boot out all of Ross employees ,the government again left another trail of despair and confusion.
We’ve learned that as of December 15, the takeover date, the Picard area will
be feeling another round of exodus; some
of the foreigners left the island last week. Again the disappointed landlords and the few
struggling businesses who were benefiting from the diminutive activities on the Ross
campus will have to endure another serving of “economic teargas” from the
Roosevelt Skerrit administration.

In
another discussion with a DLP leaker we were told that the plan to gaslight the
people of Dominica with the promise of a coming university has hit a snag and
that there is a feeling among a few DLP members that Ross and the contractor may have been delaying the works with the hope that by
the time the restoration project would have been completed Skerrit and his cartel
would have been booted out of office.
It
is worth noting that Little Tony did not even attempt to over inflate the
acquisition of the Ross property, nor did he even attempt to mention anything
about a coming university. Tony simply ran out of loquacious runway. The logical question is why didn’t the
government allow Ross to restore the
buildings, install all the equipment ,all at the expense of Ross and then move
in and then make the move to acquire the properties under the same lease agreement? With the Skerrit administration , their personal and partisan
interest is always more important than the betterment of the people whom they
represent however the ongoing saga with Ross University continues to remain mysterious and very much so simply because of a corrupt, conniving and non transparent administration.
