Roseau, Dominica — Dominica’s Prime Minister, the Honourable Roosevelt Skerrit, is in Brussels for high-level talks with the European Union as Dominica focuses its efforts on rebuilding the hurricane-ravaged island following the passage of Hurricane Maria on September 18th. During a Press Briefing held on Monday, October 23rd, Prime Minister Skerrit made the announcement of his intention to travel.
The Prime Minister stated:
“I will travel along with a delegation to Brussels tomorrow (Tuesday, October 24). I leave the country tomorrow [to] have discussions in Brussels on areas of collaboration and cooperation where they [the EU] believe they can assist Dominica. We’ve been in intense negotiations and discussions with them over the last several weeks. The European Union has been exceptional in the circumstances as they’ve always been and we look forward to their extraordinary efforts in these very difficult circumstances. We always remain optimistic, always remain confident that we will get the best possible deal that can be provided.”
Minister for Planning, Investment and Economic Development, the Honourable Dr. John Collin McIntyre is the acting Prime Minister in the absence of PM Skerrit.
You right steal more lie more that’s all you do while you promote weakness ! You saw what happened in the other islands and yet you allowed what happened with the looters and thieves the same one s you spoilt with the red clinic you allowed them to take from the tax payers the business community of Domimica should sue first the commissioner of police personally then the government! DNO let the truth com to light we the tax payers have had enough !
It’s tough to be critical after a major disaster, but when you disband the Public Works Department, trained mechanics and you stop sourcing and maintaining heavy equipment we suffer even more as a nation. No one knows what level of advice or discretion enters into these decisions, but I can say with conviction that they do not serve the interest of our people. We should always have heavy equipment available, given our terrain. Disbanding PWD was a major mistake.
..Yes they close down public Works, now we need their services, they are gone. Once the Public Works were gone jobs were given to the boys and those associated with the Labour Party and their top brass. For example a retired man who has a son working high in broadcasting. That retired man knows nothing of road construction and burst up some peoples pipes while digging. Any labour political clown from up the hill was in Wallhouse and blocked peoples houses and garages from the road. it was a rod that was not well aligned. Jobs for the boys.
Skerrit is not a role model for us Dominicans, he is a loser and hopeless.
“Oh Please!” so long you going away and coming back empty handed , what make you think you will come back with backhoes ,bulldozers other earth moving equipment? You fool me once and you will not do it again.
This every week movement out of Da by Skerro is a trick to get out of the mess and relax while he eat steak and lobster on poor Dominicans pocket.
Wow, he still go to the EU wasting our money on travelling. You won’t get any cash from the EU because they know where most of it ends up. If you are lucky, Skerrit, you might get some medicine, food and building materials, that’s about it. You can’t expect these guys to be over generous because when things are not bad for Dominica you side with the likes of Venezuela, China etc.
Have more high level meetings in DA Parliament…you all should be meeting every week. I hope Mr. Pm that you will ask for building material for Dominica and for more trucks and caterpillars to help with the clean up..you have to meet more with your Cabinet and the Opposition members.
Hopefully, high level talks lead to high levels of activity in our beautiful Dominica.
Rubbish……we have serious concerns of accountability and transparency. Recall the followings that were so called “Hopefully, high level talks lead to high levels of activity “……that never and has not to this day brought “………..high levels of activity in our beautiful Dominica…..” that to this day we still are looking for the reward:
The is no meaningful, sustainable development taking place in Dominica. The only people in cointrol benefiting are the high society politicians within the labour Government
1. The Bib Bobol
2. The Fertilizer Bobol
3. The CBI scam
4. The so called Our Passport scam
5. The Red Clinic, abuse of states funds on poor vulnerable people
6. The current abuse of Hurricane goods by government ministers
The list under this corrupt Government is very long and as headed by an immature inept PM, what else can one expect?
Skerrit Must Go
Corrupt Labour Government must Go///
You al cannot be trusted.
Pm here is a passage I feel I should share with you- Acts 21:10-12
After we had been there a number of days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. 11 Coming over to us, he took Paul’s belt, tied his own hands and feet with it and said, “The Holy Spirit says, ‘In this way the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.’”
12 When we heard this, we and the people there pleaded with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem
Pm I praying for you but I afraid for you like h*ll especially with what happened to the Antiguan MP.
