Last Week Malik Skerrit, the son of PM Skerrit was involved in a vehicular accident that resulted in the death of a young man AKA “Cannot Dress” from the Roseau area. The news of Malik’s involvement in the accident brought about much conjecture but at this juncture MiTC does not have any information on the cause of the accident – who was right or wrong and what was the state of mind of any of the people involved in the accident.
Amidst
the speculations on culpability or state of mind of the individuals involved in
the accident is the concern though that the police department is to severely
compromised and politically manipulated to deliver a professional and just investigative
report on an accident involving the son of PM Skerrit. There are countless
examples of wanton police misconduct in matters whereby criminal matters
involving friends and associates of the PM and the DLP are deliberately trammeled
and consequently denying victims the rights to fair and equal treatment under the
law.
Even
as we mourned the accidental death of Cannot Dress and empathize with Malik
Skerrit and Family, we note with interest that last week was also the anniversary
of the death of Joan Lewis Robinson of Portsmouth. In early August of 2022 Joan
was mowed down and killed near Purple Turtle Beach by an alleged drunk and
reckless motorcyclist. The accused motorcyclist is a gentleman from the village
of Penville (PM Constituency), currently a schoolteacher and personal friend
and artist of PM Skerrit- name Jay Christopher. We decided to check the status of
the alleged vehicular homicidal death investigation and to no surprise the
matter seem to have disappeared in the miasma of police and politician
cover-up. According to a source within the police department who said to us " just pretend like the accident never
happened." We were not at all surprise to discover that PM Skerrit did in fact
interfered in the investigation and even more egregious is the fact that when
asked about the investigation, police superintendent at the Portsmouth Police
Station Anthony “Baykay” Lawrence response was “Let Sleeping Dogs Lie”.

It is no secret that Anthony “Baykay” Lawrence is an acute apostle for PM Roosevelt Skerrit and is the brother of disgraced former priest, obstructionist on the electoral commission and shyster extraordinaire Lennox Lawrence. Anthony “Baykay” Lawrence is also known to have taken on his own to take up residence at his brother’s hotel in Portsmouth in lieu of an assigned paid housing rearrangement for all other Portsmouth police superintendents. The intension it appears was to stair government revenue towards his brother’s hotel establishment in Tebay area of Portsmouth thus leaving government employees at the ministry disturbed and
Many upstanding police officers that we have spoken to regarding the vehicular homicidal death investigation are quite angry by the blatant political influence and according to one police officer who said “he (Jay Christopher) was wearing a neck brace for months after the accident and then watching him having a good time at the Penville Village Feast and the lady dead, is very upsetting my Broda. “
Just
before the tragic accident Joan built a beautiful dwelling house in the Zicack area of Portsmouth and had just
moved back to Dominica to enjoy her retirement. An alleged drunken motorcyclist
took all of that away from her and up till now, no one is held accountable.
Losing
a loved one to a drunk and reckless motorist is an unspeakable tragedy and the
grieving families in most cases just want some dispensation of justice. The Robinson
family of Joan Lewis Robinson should be off no exception.
The
only reason that Jay Christopher the alleged drunk motorist has not been held
accountable by the justice system is because of his association with the PM of
Dominica Roosevelt Skerrit- A phenomenon so tightly hitched to the systematic
corruption in
The
political meddling in the justice system should be of great concern to all
irrespective of Party color. Tragic events involving Driving Under Influence (DUI)
knows no party color and while we sincerely sympathize with the Robinson family
of Joan Lewis Robinson, we hope that they (brothers of victim Dr.Cyril Robinson, Edgar
Robinson, Vincent Ophey Etienne, Nephew Donny Robinson, niece notorious Samantha Robinson
and many others) speak out, if not for justice for Joan but greater awareness the consequences of DUI and the threat to society.
We
can save lives when we punish those who irresponsibly drink and get behind a wheel or handlebar of a motorcycle and then cause destruction, death, pain and suffering. Equally important ,it is simply unacceptable that politicians are allowed to decide who should or
should not be investigated and held accountable for DUI.
*****Justice For All , Corruption We Will Have None
