Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, has announced the closure of all government offices and private sector businesses at 1:00 pm as Tropical Storm Matthew affects Dominica.
Presently Dominica is under Tropical Storm Warning.
“All government offices and private businesses will reopen on Thursday, September 29, 2016, that is tomorrow,” he said. “An advisory with respect to schools will be issued later today.”
Yesterday the Ministry of Education ordered all schools be closed today.
The Prime Minister advised everyone to stay home as much as possible so as not to expose themselves to any hazards out there.
Is that the PM job??? A man wid several jobs must be rich as he riz.
The PM is 100% not in Dominica. 100%. If he disagrees, ask for proof. Possibly, he had done a Degazon on us? Whoo, hoo!
Thats why I love Dominica….anything “holiday” is always possible.
I watched the local news at 8 on Marpin but there was no live broadcast by the PM. Where was the message sent from? Is he even in the country? Very odd.
everything does not require a live boradcast.
correction** Broadcast
Let the businesses determine who is essential to save the organization.
I think that private businesses should be able to determine who is essential or not, in order to secure their investment
Nice that you’re around this time PM . PRAYING that God will protect Dominica and Dominican. Dominica cannot take anymore blows from these tropical storms.
If the Prime Minister asks all public and private sector businesses to close at 1pm for the safety of all why is Clear Harbor forcing their employees to stay ay work and report for the night shifts. There are some of their employees who live in areas prone to landslides and flooding. I think it is terribly unfair and inhumane.
Some of these employees have to travel under the cliffs, some have to cross bridges over flooded rivers.
I think the labor department needs to pay closer attention to some of the things happening with this company.
Our young people need the employment but they should be treated fairly.
Where is this announcement coming from? Is he still in Dominica?
Well, they tried Zika – didn’t work. Then before that, they gave Ebola a shot – no one listened. Now, its no more Mr. Nice Guy, DARPA has now unleased CERN and HAARP hell upon us.
Remember this. Order out of Chaos. To achieve the solution, you must have a problem, then a reaction, and then the solution.
The solution? Watch this space!
Heavenly Father put your hands over Dominica and all of the lesser Antilles. Amen
Spare the Lesser Antilles, Trinidad and Tobago, but not so much Barbados and Jamaica.
