Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit has announced that General Secretary of the Dominica Labour Party (DLP), Senator Edward Registe, is government’s nominee for Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly.
He made that announcement during an interview with state-owned DBS Radio on Monday night.
“It is the government’s intention to nominate Senator Edward Registe as the Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly,” Skerrit said.
The Prime Minister noted that Registe has done enormous work for Dominica and the island’s young people.
“We believe that he is a young man who has demonstrated great skill, knowledge and appreciation and respect for the country,” he said. “Whose popularity really came from the National Youth Council as a vibrant representative of the young people of the country and who has done a tremendous amount of work for young people and the entire nation.”
Skerrit is confident that Registe will bring that same passion to the House of Assembly during debates and when he acts as Speaker.
“He will continue to demonstrate that level of discipline and seriousness to work which he has exhibited over his several years of public service,” the Prime Minister remarked.
LABAR ///work for boys to take out the parl rep in grand bay they dont want to run for election but they taking the senetor position . .I wonder why he can give mapwe but he dont want the mapwe . hope you do better than Justina
It’s ok to nominate but will the PM be in office in February when the house suppose to be in session? Is he planning for an Ambassador? I would be shocked if Skerrit is still be PM come February 2015, when the hose suppose to commence. According to the UWP slogan, “Change is coming.” By February, change will have come and you scholars can take this whichever way you wish.
Congratulations Mr. Registe you have my blessing. One of the most important aspect of the prime minister is that he recognises and understand the characteristics of an individual ability who has demonstrates the ability to make clear decision to under take the challenges that sets before them. I believe Mr Registe is a good choice for that position. It is always my belive that you don’t place people in position because of political reason. You put people in position based on their ability, knowledge, hard work and wisdom including their character traits. I think Mr. Registe has all this quality in him. God bless you Mr. Prime minister and continued to move Dominica foward.
Oh pllz just blaze give my pm a brake , he is the leader he can do wat he want to
And that is the position that the likes of you and others have put him into and not it is catching up with him, take a good look at the PM listen to the tone of his voice, after spending all that money for an election going too Venezuela for a loan, in case you don’t understand the country President just tell the world they have financial problem , it’s time that we Dominicans take the PM seriously.
I dont support that move. Why cant we try and put a neutral person in there. 1st charles savarin president now edward registe deputy speaker. Come on man skerro u gone too far now.
Look who is talking? Fake Blaze…… shut up man….
Are we hearing what you a saying after all you said about Team Dominica-UWP now you understand what they ment by change !.
Welcome mr. Registe. I really hope you are less intransigent than the speaker we have, who is stuck in her groove. Stimulate a lively debate even if it is controversial and not necessarily supporting the view of only one party. Thank you.
way papa! well look it…..job for the boys nah or laba ka travay? just asking…
One set that enjoying the goodtime!!!! The longest rope has an end that regime has to fall
We have to be very careful what we ask for other many times it happens to us first.
Some of you believe that Dominica is a play ground or a kindergarten. My people lets think. It is not.. The ruling Government will decide what is good for Dominica. the opposition will oppose, because this is all what they will do.. But the decision of the ruling Government is final.. Try a little peace and harmony and just see how nice things will roll.. Stop looking to make trouble…
I have no confidence that Registe will be different from the present speaker.I always believe in a non partisan speaker. History has shown us over the past 15years that once one finds favour with Skerrit, then he/she has to slavishly do his biddings..
Edward Registe, General Secretary of the DLP and senator will soon become deputy speaker of the house.
Skerrit already has a political hack in the person of Boyds-Knight. Is that not enough?
Even the opposite were to nominated an individual who is totally impartial and unbias we know it would go nowhere because majority rules.
However, I think the opposition should nominate someone as the deputy speaker and maybe, just maybe Skerrit will give Linton this one in good faith because he, Skerrit, has pledged to work for the betterment of our country. YEAH RIGHT!
Congrats Mr. Registe.
I can see no problem in him being a government nominee.. The opposition should accept…
And I only hope that Senator Registe bridge the gap for the sake of Dominica…It is I who have spoken..
