The new Permanent Representative of Dominica to the Organization of American States (OAS), Steve Ferrol, presented his credentials to OAS Secretary General Luis Almagro.

During the ceremony at OAS headquarters in Washington, DC, Secretary General Almagro noted that “Dominica has partnered with the General Secretariat of the OAS in the four pillars of the Organization.”

“In addition,” he added, “we are particularly pleased with the work we have been able to accomplish in the field of development, specifically in tourism and trade expansion, environmental issues and climate change, and the promotion of democracy.”

For his part, Ambassador Ferrol highlighted his country’s “long and productive relationship with the OAS,” and added that “we remain committed to the values, activities,  programs geared towards advancing democracy, human rights, security, and development.”

Ambassador Ferrol, who is also Dominica’s Ambassador to the United States, previously served as his country’s Cabinet Secretary, among other posts.

    He looks like someone who just woke up from sleep and hadn’t washed his face. Is this the best Dominica has to offer? What a complete disgrace!!!

    U always know who has done and who hasn’t. What have you people done but only hate, criticize, complain, and bring down your fellow countrymen?

    When will you people stop? Just judging and saying who supports who. All of you need to repent and love others. Ask for forgiveness for hating others so much and ask for a spirit of love. Only then can you understand what is happening and acknowledge the Creator who made the heavens and the earth.

    Instead of saying what can I do for this country is yap yap SKerrit Skerrit etc.,

    Where are you heading to? Want power by all means and not by democratic processes? Want to force out who has been elected by the majority, Regroup yourselves and be a progressive movement that provides alternative suggestions and ways to do things not being a talking nuisance encouraging wars, strife, hatred, violence, etc., After an election, all hands aboard to work towards the country’s upliftment. No campaigning all the time. U are no…

      Always the same, a little spin, a pinch of rhetoric and then we defend the indefensible, even though it smells to high heaven because it’s nothing but fermented BS. I don’t buy anything from you. May I also remind you, who was the person that called on his supporters to persecute opposition supporter. It was none other then your political master, the Horrible CM, the chief passport seller and the corrupt liar, you know that one with dimples, that has us pay for his own palace at Morne Daniel. Now take a running jump!

      @Ma far, I don’t know whether you are a man or a woman. However, if you wish to buy my Freedom of Speech and muzzle me, and prevent me from expressing myself and the way I feel about anything – You won’t afford to pay me for that gift of Freedom. So don’t waste your useless time and effort. Go sell your passport and don’t get in my Lane, please.

    I dont know why mister and the others like him dont go home and enjoy their retirement. What happen you that have most loan to pay? Fellers like him dont do anything for Dominica but be a drain on the treasury. At least someone finally tell him to take off or hide that ugly silver chain and cross he used to have showing off like is bling.

      I don’t know why you people cannot love others.
      Everything is political. He is appointed an Ambassador, hear your sorry selves.
      Question – give suggestions for ambassadors.
      I await people who criticize everything but want to be in everything – Selfish people where is your love of others or country?
      See the last scenario – want one of their supporters to be President but when it is noted, pointed out by someone that she is used as a voice (drums stick -beating the drums) then you people looking to cause confusion, strife, wars, etc.,
      Where are your brains some of you who claim to be educated? It is not only chicken drumsticks but there are sticks (drums sticks) to beat drums. You will twist words to suit your agendas. Those who are not as learned as you will jump at the shout of u who say that because the lady is slim the drumsticks related to that.
      Pure hypocrisy. You, your party cannot do any better than what is here now. It is a big responsibility to run a country. No…
