The Dominica Business Forum (DBF) is urging the public to engage in an important dialogue this evening on electoral reform bills that are to be brought to Parliament for their second and third readings.
President Daryl Bobb has emphasized the importance of constructive participation, inviting citizens from all walks of life to join the discussion which is scheduled for 7:00 pm at the Dominica Public Service Union (DPSU) building.
“We are the Dominica Business Forum. We are poised at creating environments where people can discuss,” Bobb stated, highlighting the forum’s commitment to fostering a respectful and open dialogue.
He called on individuals from both sides of the political spectrum to participate in an atmosphere free from hostility, encouraging attendees to come with a spirit of sharing and listening.
The public discussion will feature representatives from various sectors, including private enterprises, civil society organizations, and the government. The DBF seeks to address concerns surrounding the electoral bills, which have sparked significant debate and scrutiny among the populace. Bobb noted that the forum aims to identify potential loopholes and weaknesses in the proposed legislation, stressing the need for a collaborative approach to ensure that the electoral process is fair and transparent.
In an effort to enhance public engagement, the DBF is encouraging media networks to broadcast the event live, providing a vital service to inform the nation about the ongoing discussions.
“We invite people from all walks of life who have their concerns and who wish to share to join us,” Bobb added.
The DBF believes, that, with the approach of these critical readings in Parliament, this initiative represents a significant opportunity for citizens to voice their opinions and contribute to shaping the future of the country’s electoral framework. They believe that the forum’s emphasis on a non-hostile environment could facilitate a productive exchange of ideas that will ultimately aid the process of strengthening the democratic process in Dominica.
