Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit is heading Dominica’s delegation to the Inaugural Session of the OECS Assembly which begins in St. John’s Antigua late Friday.
The delegation and officials will join their counterparts from Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands, Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Other members of the Dominica parliamentary delegation are Minister for Trade, Colin Mc Intyre, Minister for Information, Telecommunications and Constituency Empowerment Ambrose George, Minister for Public Works Rayburn Blackmoore, Leader of the Opposition Hector John and Cabinet Secretary Steve Ferrol.
Dominica’s official delegation is also accompanied by a twenty-member delegation inclusive of members of the private sector, trade unions and media representatives.
The OECS Assembly is one of five governing structures of the revised treaty of Basseterre. The OECS Authority and the Council of Ministers have already been implemented.
At Friday’s inaugural ceremony statements will be made by Host Prime Minister, Dr. Baldwin Spencer; OECS Chairman, Dr. Ralph Gonsalves; Reuben Meade of Montserrat on behalf of Non-Independent Members and the Mark Brantley on behalf of Leaders of the Opposition.
Really??? Almost 30 personnel [board-members] need to go [re]present Dominica at such an event???
What is it mista dem really going to do ovah dere nuh,,,
How comes we never got a report from the accomplishments of the Moroccan trip nuh,,,
As though I neva saw noffing posted about any accomplishments on the meeting(s) in Morocco when the delegation came back from Morocco,,,
…is because “is none of our damn business” . We are to be treated as little children and slapped down when we dare to speak up, never mind ask questions. Is so mister sees democracy. We voted him and must take his medicine without being so bold as to ask why?
that’s just a waste of time
You might think it is a waste of time but Skeritt knows that he is governing You without Your input in the matter .Just like Mr Gadaffi Did in Libya!
For heaven sake lets hope it last,and not too show too flam. Ready or not we have to band together for strength in numbers it has my blessings.
Stupes
I hope Skerrit will introduce the plan with the other leaders and show interest in purchasing three 737 aircrafts, just like the one that carry us to vote in the last elections from Florida to Melville-Hall. This will replace the void that American Eagle will leave come next year.
“Think ahead my people.” Don’t wait for when it happens to take action, these things take a while to be implemented.
Too many empty suits on this trip.
will they be travelling together?just wanna kno dno.
while Dominica and the O E C S states are signing their treaty, they tend to forget the the Caribbean indigenous people were here long before them, and any such treaty should first seek the approval of the rightful owners of these countries, time will tell our kalinago lawyers will soon have to look within.
Garçon the Kalinago/Garifuna people need to start doing some serious research and start doing paperwork to take back allyou Land(s) that was belonging to allyou way long before dem Albinos even knew about these paradises,,,
My Ole-man always said that these adjoining-islands are the remnants of that great Atlantis,,,
ahaha..hector get trip
So what? He is the Leader of the Opposition. This is not a favor from Skerrit, Honorable Hector John as that right and privilege under the constitution to attend the OECS General Assembly.
Like is or not, United Workers Party will rise and shine again…
lol..look a set of foolish people we
