With the high level of stupidity displayed by supporters of UWP,Skerrit will not only rust,he will be in power for a very long time.Get off your lazy do nothing butt and become a foot soldier for UWP.
I am hoping that me giving my Dominican Citizenship up as a Born Dominica will tell you the truth. I am hoping to get the information from you all the offices that I have written to the police which has the immigration department does not accept emails.
I am looking forward to it being gazette. I have given up my voting rights in Dominica. and to be removed from the voters list. I have written.
Every UWP supporters is as smart as En Ba La if not smarter.
A government that is not functioning. The country has an embassy representing its citizens by appointment only. Ministry of foreign affairs and trade not seeing the general public before 11 am daily.
The country’s MAIN Embassy is by appointment ONLY.
The country’s human rights review is done without any reports – they have carte blanche. A country which has Major Human Rights Issues. Hopefully the reports you all will read it while it is going to send to the various Human rights organizations – including the European Union, Council of Europe, European Court of Human rights. Dominica benefits from European Union Funds and engaging in Human Rights violations on European Soil, Violation of country’s sovereignty, as well as foreign citizens rights, depriving them the enjoyment of the comfort of their homes = Intrusion on Seclusion, Engagin in torture techniques and abusive behavior on foreign soil. That should get you all in enough trouble.
can somebody please point me one thing in Dominica that is going right? Everything is tainted and corrupt. As for parliament Everything is a mockery and an attempt to cover up corruption. Nothing is real nothing is right. It’s all corruption, corruption corruption and more corruption! The country is gone man. Skerrit destroyed the country from top to.bottom from church to prison
Government will also seek parliamentary approval for a bank guarantee to secure the commitments made in the Air Service Agreement between the Discover Dominica Authority and United Airlines Inc.
Hmm United asking for big money to land Dominica hmmm
Bring back tetanus injection and other life saving drugs back to the hospital…all u met them there .. sag way gass
Skerrit news is depressing whether it news on parliament, government or Skerrit himself. We all know damn that this man is corrupt and everything about his government, cabinet or parliament is nothing more than a bunch of lies and deception just to cover another very corrupt move
It must be immensely painful for the UWPwee that for 19 years it has been in the wilderness bawling for “electoral reform” and now that an opportunity presents itself in Parliament, for the second time, to debate and shape this “electoral reform” it is now tucked away even deeper into the wilderness with its leaders playing monkey hoops with each other.
Let’s be brutally truthful. What we call a parliament in Dominica operates more like a circus where clowns go to frolic.
Where else in the Caribbean there is no parliamentary opposition leader; the Speaker acts like an inebriated conductor of an orchestra; the members of the orchestra sing off key; the sessions are more about fantasy than reality. What goes on in parliament is mostly theatrical.
Having said that, the legislation concerning the Bill dealing with the Election Commission should be vociferously and rigorously opposed by right minded Dominicans. We all know that the congenital Liar will try to pass this particular Bill for him to rust at the apex seat of government.
Corruption kills progress; let’s show up in our numbers on Monday at parliament and show this corrupt regime that the power of the people is greater than the people in power.
