    Congratulations Mr Peter and ignore the negative spirits that are floating about as the aura that is received by us from the universe is what the universe will give us back so there goes……….

    From what I know about you when you moved back to Dominica with your parents from England, both your late parents did an excellent job of wait for it, bringing you up as opposed dragging you up and I know they must be both sitting on either of your shoulders guiding you through this process.

    It is good that you are not one of those to participate in negative, idle gossip so at least you won’t spend valuable time responding and listening to with making that are inaccurate, as there are more important laws and legislations that need to be brought forward and passed in parliament, so a very rocky road a head of you but with your tenacity you are more than capable.

    I know you always relish a challenge and I have no doubt that you will give it your all as that is the type of upbringing you have had.

    MAY THE GOD ABOVE CONTINUE TO GUIDE AND PROTECT YOU, AS YOU EMBARK ON YOUR JOURNEY OF CONTRIBUTING TOWARDS THE NATURE

    As far as I am concerned once you are appointed to the position of Attorney General by the present administration you are tainted.

    New AG.. Does that mean new mind set too?? Or is it just another political appointment of someone to protect those in “higher offices”?
    Congratz.. May we Dominicans see a change in the judicial system of Dominica!

    Let’s see if he will invistigate ALL those who have suspect property in Dominica. You cannot legally attain property worth $8,000,000 or more on a salary of less than $10,000 during a period of less than five years.

    And this is why I am so upset that Dominicans are giving some politicians free-bee on this. The money will eventually be sent to banks overseas to secure their eventual departure. It happened in Haiti, Congo and Liberia , hence forth with these countries are so poor today. Take heed my country men and women and protect your future. Or don’t cry when it happen to us

      November 30, 2010

      Who is your nominee? Answer since this one is an acolyte, then you should give an alternative person. Isn’t this true … Just being against all what is being done without giving an alternative is best one does not make a comment. To mouth of the South. Please give an honest answer.

      yout … can you say something positive to the young man.. Isit all about criticism and cynism?

      Congratulations to you Mr Peter! I don’t even know you personally but look up to Jah for guidance at all times.
