STATEMENT FROM FRANK BARON
TO ALL DOMINICANS
It is with extreme sadness that for the first time in my public life, one which has spanned over 65 years, I have decided to write a personal statement to my fellow Dominicans. I served in the Roseau Town Council in the 1940s. I served in the Dominica legislature in the 1950s. I served as Dominica’s Chief Minister in 1960. I served in her Majesty’s opposition in the 1960s. I vigorously opposed the Labour Party in the 1970s. I served in the Diplomatic Corps for nearly 15 years in the 1980s and 1990s.

I fought side by side with Mary Eugenia Charles against what I perceived to be corruption under the United Workers Party government. I fought through my newspaper, against corruption in government in the 2000 campaign. Ms. Charles and I were united in our opposition to corruption in government. I have been sued numerous times because of my unflinching stance. I have been called every name under the sun. I proudly bear the financial scars of all those fights and campaigns.
