Dr. Philbert Aaron has announced that he will not renew his contract as Dominica’s Ambassador to Venezuela, National Coordinator of ALBA and Public Relation Officer of the Dominica Labour Party (DLP).
At a press conference on Friday, Dr. Aaron had high praise for his boss, Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit and described the moment as ‘bittersweet.’
“Sweet because it is a day that puts me on a path towards my future,” he said. “Bitter because it is the day that brings to the end my service to the foremost political leader in Dominica, foremost Prime Minister among the seven Prime Ministers that Dominica has ever had, and that is Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit.”
He stated that over the past ten years he served as the founding National Coordinator of ALBA, as Dominica’s ambassador to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and Public Relation Officer of the Dominica Labour Party.
He said during his decade of service, he operated on multiple levels and fronts “with the same zeal and passion.”
“I have been told when handling my task, I operated with energy and drive,” he remarked.
Dr. Aaron said that he will now be re-entering life as a “private citizen” and refused to discuss his future plans.
“I really want to emphasize that what I am doing here is speaking to the Dominican people because, over the last ten years, I have spoken to the Dominican people in one capacity or another,” he remarked. “However, I would not talk about the future since it would not be appropriate in this forum. I’ve discussed nothing with anybody regarding the future. Again, I really want to make it clear because there is propaganda, political propaganda out there that puts me in other positions. I want to make it clear that we have had no such discussion and I am re-entering public life completely and I carry no formal attachments, representations at this time.”
Dr. Aaron made it clear that his departure is not “a firing” or “a break of contract.”
“It is not an abrupt end, it is a most professional end of one phase in my life,” he stated. “I must say I am eager to pursue other professional personal dreams in my life. So that’s the context under which I have come to the end of this stint.”
Last month, Dr. Aaron’s wife, Jamala Jno Baptiste Aaron announced that she will not renew her contract as Government Press Secretary when it ends on March 15, 2018.
KID ON THE BLOCK
March 6, 2018
“At least got a degree. What the F you got. Have you a school leaving certificate?”
When I went to school in Dominica in Wesley Village, the school leaving certificate was not in existent, by then we had secondary schools which saw the advent of the General Certificate of Education “the GCE.” So for you that old wench living off welfare in Canada to talk to me about School Leaving Certificate is an indication you are beneath me! You and your mind are inferior to me!
You are not in my class, you are nothing! You use all sorts of fictitious names on DNO pretending to be smart, you are nothing, a nobody; you are no more more than a pile of human garbage!
I am an Electronic/Electrical Engineer: School Leaving Certificate cannot help anybody to get an engineering degree never mind two!
Are you kidding me? I support the current govt given the gravity of the current situation but a guy gets a big opportunity to be grateful to have served his COUNTRY or government. Instead he is only grateful to have served Skeritt?? So lame, scripted and fake. Looks line Skeritt scripted it himself if you ask me.
Aaron you were a waste,just milking the poor people,get out while you can fool,hope you can still buy the ridiculous looking heels.
Well well well. Ms. K. Arron didnt renew her contract now he is doing the same. World on the street is that he will be replace the current UN representative in NYC. Watch and see what unfolds my dear Dominicans
Papa Mete all you unleashing who in NYC? Way papa
The boat is sinking so they running
The DLP does not believe the present Min of Agriculture can handle this ministry post Maria. Therefore, Bannis will return in order to run the ministry and subsequently run in the Castle Bruce constituency, come the next general elections.
That ministerial position, agriculture, nobody really wants it. It is the kiss of death, ask anyone in parliament if they want to swap. Pity really. Best Laureen stays in the U.S.A., if they let her and try her luck there.
Who is ambassador A? you doh waiting for your money from de calypsonin? boy go and beg Trump on your knees again. hope you stop.
Bonny & Clyde returning to their original country then.
All these LabouRats go to where the grass is green… the United States of America but the want us poor malaway Labourites to go Russia. China, Venezuela, Cuba…
After they suck out the little sugar Dominica have… the leaving us to suck the salt the baroness give us… Domitjets Allez Soussez Cel
You are soooooooo right. Such is life under the corrupted government. They flee after all they have or may have achieve is flowing over. I just cant comprehend, really, what these guys and gals have done really for Dominica while in government or elsewhere promoting and defending the corrupt practices of the Skerrit led government. I mean, think of the Bin Bobol and Fertilizer Bobol, it was a mistake, but Hon Linton exposed their nastiness and fraudulent behaviour. These guys and gals are really good actors in deception, and pretence that “something is happening”. Dominicans remain poor, as these people walk the streets of Roseau and poverty stricken areas with their nice umbrellas and face looks forward only. they fail to see the poverty in Roseau, Lagon, Tarrish Pit, Silver Lake etc, but run and give handouts.
we want this corrupt Labour government Out…..Skerrit must Go….Jut Go, you are big failure. You have failed us.
I can’t complain about not having TV services. I must admit I missing my TV shows etc. MSNBC CNN etc for my news jokes about Trump etc. But DA is a good substitute for my jokes am missing out on Farrel, JImmy Stewart, Bil Maher etc Noah, Jimmy Kimmel etc etc. Butwe have our own jokes here.
Ej a Fox was incharge of the fowl house in the absence of De Ayatolla imagine that! Now two gatekeepers are leaving. Isn’t it like the current white House staff?
Funny how local jokes fills the gap and similar to the white house resignations. The Cliché art imitates life can be applied here. DA imitating the USA. Is this clown who told us politics is not about the truth hahahahaha. He knows what he was talking about. I guess his departure must be a perception of Skerrit et Al now. LOL
Fleecing the country every month for ten years and being paid for hosting Labour Party Radio program and weekly newspaper column, now you going with big announcement? Name a piece of what you achieved as ALBA Ambassador. Your legacy will be, in politics truth does not matter.
I sincerely hope that Skerrit does not give you a bigger job because you have proven to be the laziest PHD Dominica has ever seen. Getting a healthy salary for only giving praise to your boss and you continue doing it.
Good riddance to those who continue to fleece the country.
How about the president on a $30k monthly. ..
Good riddance Aaron! I am no hypocrite so I am saying your departure is very GOOD news for true Dcans. Don’t go too far because some day soon you will have to come and answer to the charges that “will” be laid against you and the cabal.
Assertive like Ma Maria!
But wait isn’t Philbert Aaron the brother in law of Levi Peter, another expatriate who came home at the mercy of Skerrit that could not cut the mustard in the country that educated them. They were titiwi there and are jacks here. Sorry fellows if Skerrit did not make you share in his good fortune but I believe he has no real respect for you. You are the puppets and he pulls the strings. Too bad.
If he does take up the Ambassador post at the U.N. I hope he does not do so using the the Dr. title because that would be very embarrassing. He does not have a Ph.D. The arts degree he has from the former University of Benin , in Togo is the equivalent of a BA. I know because this Dominican has been there too. Why do our people do things like that. I cannot can not call him Dr., whether at the U.N. or not.
Going ro greener pastures thats how Domimicans like it, We LIKE IT SO. the poor ones will stay home and suck salk, We LIKE OUR PM?
Dr. Philbert Aaron is a complete failure in his capacity as founding National Coordinator of ALBA, as Dominica’s ambassador to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. He presided over Dominica taking money from Venezuela and supporting Venezuela President Maduro, while Maduro destroyed democracy in Venezuela; hijacking the constitution, imprisoned the opposition, turned the army guns on the people and wrecked the Venezuelan economy. We never condemned one wrong action of President Maduro, while Venezuelans flee their country, eat out of garbage bins, and die in hospitals without supply! ALBA solidarity comes before humanity! Shame on you and your bloody hands Dr. Philbert Aaron!

Are you satisfied, accomplished and happy with your legacy Dr. Philbert Aaron?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-latin-america-41412064/venezuela-s-crisis-drives-couple-to-settle-in-colombia
I am surprised that She is leaving .She will not be a good fit for NY Embassy even if Lauren Bannis is not suited for diplomacy work .
Hmn they running one by one… we will still ketch all you.. skerite and the rest run while it early….
Let them run. It’s a small world! Unless they run to …. holes like Russia, North Korea, Iran, Cuba etc. they are not beyond the reach of justice.
What justice are you talking about, quote “they are not beyond the reach of justice”Is it your justice of a mob mentality espousing vehemently political partisan beliefs, hearsay, and innuendos. Unfortunately, our justice system does not operate in such a manner. Don’t you see what your partisan political beliefs is doing to your mind writing such commment.
Ok, let me spell it out for you HALFWIT. After we dispose of Skerrit we will instigate some detailed investigation into missing state assets, irregularities at elections, bribery by state officials, misuse of power, etc. Be under no illusion all those investigations will not be limited to the PM, Ministers, President, Chief of Police… but also to the numerous smaller henchmen of the regime, who for 18 years turned a blind eye in return for regular gifts and favours. All you are being held accountable for betraying your country. Be under no illusion!
You are probably right in saying: what justice… because there is no justice in Dominica. But be assured one of the first steps that will be done is to install an independent police force and judical court system again that purely act according to the law of Dominica and not some Individuals that thought they were above the law and the constitution of the country. You get my drift…?
That’s the beginning. They all have to run and leave all of all you in the rubbish hole. All of them have their green card so they can run. Start they start and all of allyou who worshipping the Lord and master and his puppets will stay and suffer in the mess that they put youall in. Take that. They will start disappearing and allyou will not even know. Who’s next!!!
This departure represents the dismantling of Skeritt’s cabal. They will soon begin to drop like flies because of their incompetence and lack of results.
Well good luck Dr. Aaron. How far from Melissa’s condo will you be staying? Are you going to buy a $5-million dollar condo too?
Shut up button hole and go hide your face in a bag.
D comment well burn you for you to fly insults like that!!!!!! Why you mad bro?
you must be aaron
If in fact they are moving to take up the Ambassador position in NY, it is a wise decision. Based on both their profession international experience at that level is the next obvious wise decision. And if that is the case kudos to them. Aren’t we suppose to praise growth and development, especially of our people?
“……….Aren’t we suppose to praise growth and development, especially of our people…………?.”
Growth and development my foot…., show us where it is, Ohhhhh, I know you are referring to the many passport sales money that is waiting for them (whoever they are???) and is in solid account in La La Land.
Corrupt breed bed fellows and protect bedfellows……sad.
Guess he and his wife moving to greener pasture. Both of them leaving, alas, All the best sir to you and your family best of luck, rest of us Dominicans will stay in the struggle
That’s true they leaving the supremo and them in there business and going where not even where he was ambassador to where they love but sweet America they coming. Veni mou .ca waspeeyea
Ou say premiere madame li noh? hahahhahahahahhaEEY kai keyte’ desierme madame pour premiere -la .
She will go to Toronto & he to the USA then he can cross the border to spend time but she cannot return to the USA. They will get fedup and he as he does , will try to fo to the belt area to reconnect. lol Will it work?? not this time garcon remember Kaamala was his student so the DC area contact is over she moved lol
They filled their pockets and know that Skerrits regime is on the way out. The rats are leaving the sinking ship, they clearly don’t want to face the music afterwards.
I must say I agree .., I was once told if it look smells walk and talks like a Rat it is
I don’t support Skeritt way of governing but we don’t have to be negative all the time. His resignation should come as no surprise since his wife resigned about a week ago. You really think if she is moving out of the country, he is going to stay alone? Most likely it was a joint decision.
Best wishes to both you and your wife Sir. All the best in your futur endeavors
We are not negative, we are progressive is taking our country back.
“……you have your dignity and country to protect……” What!?…what on earth dignity. You hang about with an incompetent head of government, clueless of development, questions of questions about corruption and you telling me about dignity. These people involved are not dignified, they are bobolist traitorous?.
Someone please tell me where in Dominica is there any development taking place.
Please run, go, you have enough, pockets heavy, worthless servants, go to wherever, we will return good governance and decency in our country with good government and governance. Good bye. Go to Hell, go to hell, its non of our damn business
Ah which country allu taking back dere pal? Doh put Dominica in allu mele bunch of “keyboard Patriots” on dno alone allu have strength. I cannot wait to put my X by the shoe again. Turn blue vex if you want. Bad news for blue!!!!!

Go to Hell….Go to Hell…its non of our damn business.
The business we should be focussed on is the state of Dominica they will be leaving behind. They cannot even tell Dominicans were is the progress and development of Dominica since that Inept Skerrit and his fools paradise circle of men and women were seated blindly with that Corrupt and immature Labour government. They have failed and before these people travel they should bee apprehended (like in China) and asked to account for our monies. Where is the money re the sales, all the sales of our passports.
So how much million he living with?? Political wealth.. Bondere i want mine too?
Wow last week it was Kamala and today is the husband? What happened? A new government coming and they don’t want to get fired man? Or are they joining their friends in the big Apple and the Us because they made enough money from Skerrit? Just wondering
Once you are appointed to any office in the Skerrit’s administration, you automatically become just a figurehead. Skerrit wields all authority. You, Dr. Aaron, and all Ministers and appointees acquiesce to the whims and fancies of the PM. You have just given Mr. Skerrit god-like status by given him unmerited torrents of praise as if he is both omnipotent and omniscient. This leader is the architect of abject poverty, joblessness, social fragmentation and unbearable misery.
Amen…well said Ibo France……well said, well observed.
I really couldn’t care less where he goes or what he does.
But wait… Mr and Mrs A have big plans or wah?
Ya Yacht and ting cruising de Mediterian ..
Bram bram i smell a rat
The Oil stopped flowing, so closing the forcet make no difference. If the Oil was flowing still he would have never closed the tap. Who wants to work in a war zone? Send Skerrat.
Correction : Closing the faucet.
Mr. Ambassador, finally you will get a real job and do something more productive because a mind is a terrible thing to waste.
You know a thing or 2 Nacinimod. In Africa he studied in the USA he studied he did a kind of thing in DA now he will have to look for real work. In the US or go back studying hahahahahhahahahhahah.
In the the US job application will he put ambassador to Caracus on his resume? Join Kamala situstion lol!
not New York he going nuh? to take over from Vince
You well behind the time bro. Laureen Bannis Roberts took over from Vince in New York at the U.N. in August 2016.
Who the hell cares. they come from the same old dirty corrupt camp.
Skerrit must Go
lol you more behind time. He is taking over from Laureen B!
Well, Carmen that is news to me. Laureen Ruth Bannis- Roberst is still listed as our current Permanent Representative to the U.N. Perhaps Roosevelt Skerrit did not bother to advise the U.N. or perhaps he has to pay his overdue membership first.
The wife is persona non grata in the USA. Check academic history whose grades were used to enter upstate
NY school. It’s more likely Ambassador A will re-unite with 1st wife in the belt area lol .
hahahhahahahahhahahamouth open tory jump out.
Last month, Dr. Aaron’s wife, Jamala Jno Baptiste Aaron announced that she will not renew her contract as Government Press Secretary when it ends on March 15, 2018
Bla Bla Bla
You did nothing in the time we taxpayers have been paying you. All you did was to bash Hon. Lennox Linton.
Waste our money and i wish there is a way to let you pay back every cent.
I also hope you will not be continuing to receive money just to keep your mouth shut…
I know you know that your Lord RS* is corrupt..
Nothing of credibility to say but that he and clowns have moved Dominica one step further. It is them now who are making big steps and on their to greater horizon while they keep the poor in poverty and have our nature isle stained.
of id Good all the time.
Is Dr. Arron going to replace Douglas in the Portsmouth constituency or he has found a job in Tonga.
Did he get his degree out of the university of Tonga, in the South Pacific?
At least got a degree. What the F you got. Have you a school leaving certificate?
Idiot, you dirty fly, if you are referring to Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque: Professionally I am an Electronic/Electrical Engineer okay! I have a bachelor of science degree in Electronic Engineering, I have a bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. I have an Associate in Science in Electronics Engineering, also along with an Associate in Arts in the Liberal Arts.
Let me put you in your place you little bit of human ….., it it took academics and commonness to write on DNO your fictitious fart name would not see daylight on this site!
I can kick you upside down, wipe my feet in your face, chew you and Arron up, and spew you out of my mouth academically!
I do not have a medical degree, but I know enough health science ( enough medicine to save you your miserable life): Because you are an idiot you do not know the meaning of health science, say I told you that is a major to become an MD: a medical doctor!
You are beneath me!
Like Thompson is in an African base job If he returns to Togo(Roy it’s Togo) lol
Thank you for the correction, however, where does Dr. Fontaine, not the Japan Dr. Skeritt, comes into the mix.
good thing you coming out in the corrupt gang garcon. you have your dignity and country to protect
Dignity to protect,…what dignity…….and after that corrupt Labour party with its associates have stained and destroyed our nature isle Dominica, these bunch of boom boom flies reduced us Dominicans to beggars and in deep poverty. these well dressed fellows and ladies are a great disappointment to Dominica and have stained our island.
We will have a new government with credible people to bring back our Dominica to where it should be.
Whenever, a puppet quits we need to wonder why: maybe one of the strings from the puppet’s manipulator is severed!
Maybe the Venezuelans does not want certain characters with a certain reputation in their country anymore; we shall see, the truth shall be known. Question is why the singing of glory to the puppet master?
Could it be that is the bending of knees singing for another place at the table; such question shall be answered in due time!
FET this statement : Could it be that is the bending of knees singing for another place at the table; such question shall be answered in due time! To me has double interpretations -( bending of knees) Lol!
Did the police-calpysonian manage to pay up yet? Be very careful FET.- It sues when this topic surfaces.
Doc boy, I doh talking bout dat eh, cause I boy farid dem sue me eh, like dem sue dat poor police feller eh; looking fu free money.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
Besides if I talk DNO will censor that sort of opinion, but I guess even on their way out they have to bow out to their god, and dictator. Even when he is kicking them in their behind; some of them actually kneel and pares that boy.
If you read your communication of yesterday; you might be a recipient of the mail I disseminated, in response to Parry, I told it as the truth presented itself! The man responded by telling me nothing I said make sense, I am a liar, but the fact is he is the one who makes sense accepting corruption, and is in denial that a certain Dr. Punjab one of Me Almost Nearly Cousin has taken Dominica from cloud nine, to the bottom of the garbage heap in the Caribbean.
(Not busy weekend we could talk).
Hmmm, something coming man…? Or something going
