​Prime Minister Skerrit tells Dominicans condemn the call by Opposition Leader Lennox Linton for of a campaign of civil disobedience all over Dominica, from Monday September 30, 2019 over Free & Fair Elections.
 
Linton took this action in furtherance of his party’s campaign to get Prime Minister Skerrit to account for $1.2 billion of Citizenship by Investment (CBI) funds which was not included in the 2019-2020 national budget that Skerrit presented to parliament on July 30, 2019, and until the list of electors is cleaned and Voter ID cards are issued.
 
Skerrit said on State-owned DBS Radio on Friday morning, “He is seeking to confuse the people and he is also seeking to bring confusion in the country, and I believe every law abiding, every conscientious concerned Dominican need to put aside partisanship and condemn this thing”.
 
According to the Prime Minister, nowhere in the world a leader would call for civil disobedience.
 
“Civil disobedience means to break the law, to trample on the rights of citizens…and disrespect people,” Skerrit stated.
 
“Is that what we what for our country?” he asked.
 
However, most scholars disagree with Mr Skerrit’s definition of civil disobedience
