Trafalgar Village Council gets a reminder from PM: ‘Be kind’

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit addressing the village council

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has encouraged Dominicans to continue being kind, caring, and empathetic.

His call came during the 10th annual meeting of the Trafalgar/Shawford/Fond Canie Village Council recently.

“We must not lose these things as a society. We have to continue to be the kind society that we know ourselves, the friendly society that we know ourselves…”

According to him, this is what differentiates Dominica from the rest of the world.

“When people come to Dominica they tell you Dominica may have its challenges, but these are wonderful, hospitable people, peaceful people, welcoming people,” he stated.

“And you here in the Trafalgar /Fond Canie/Shawford area you are known for that and we must ensure that we take the advice and reminder of our school children that we have to be kind, we have to be caring, we have to be empathetic, we have to be truly our neighbour’s keeper as the Bible teachers us.”

Moreover, he noted that it is important that the council preoccupies themselves with how the senior citizens are living.

“Do they have water at their homes? Is their home clean? Do they have electricity? Do they need a window for their house so that they can be more comfortable in their home?” he asked.

Dr. McIntyre

Meanwhile, in a Facebook post, Parliamentary Representative of the Roseau Valley Constituency, Dr. Irving McIntyre congratulated the new council members led by Chairperson Shadina St Jean and Deputy Chair Marvin Hector.

“I look forward to working with the young, vibrant, and energized New Council in serving the residents of our community,” he said. “I take this opportunity to thank the outgoing chairman Mr. Clifford Morancie and councilors for a job well done.”

He added, “It was a pleasure achieving so many things together.”

Dr. McIntyre also thanked the people of the communities who turned out to participate in the elections.

“Together we will continue to build our community,” he stated.

    Really, the same Prime Minister Skerrit who tried to put innocent Dominicans in prison while trying to free a double murderer CBI passport agent?
    The same Roosevelt Skerrit who said throw hot water on Opposition members and call them traitors in their faces everywhere you see them?
    Your turn is coming Roosevelt, every rope has and end and yours is in sight one way or the other.

      @Lin Clown/ Labour power
      Why are you so upset? Are you as corrupted as Skerrit? Tell him go get the peoples money for them. You are upset over crumbs you are getting? Take a trip or journey around Dominica, to see how dirty it is. Are you not ashamed. Go away your hameless sycophant.
      Get out of here. FOOL.

    Skerrit asked the people to be kind???
    OMG!! OMG!! OMG!
    Look in your face hypocrisy.
    The same Skerrit that wilfully accused three innocent men of attempting to overthrow his corrupt government? Do you all know the punishment for this act? It’s rope in your neck. The wicked, vile and diabolic soul still spent millions of our dollars to innocently have the 3 men pay a price.
    That’s an EVIL SOUL!!
    The people should have rebuked satan.

    What a colossal HYPOCRITE! A man who is espousing what he has NEVER practised. This demonic guy is the epitome of hate and cruelty. He suffers from imposter syndrome. He fully well knows that he is supremely unqualified for the office he presently occupies. This the sole reason he sought the two useless doctoral degrees he possesses.

    Roosevelt urging others to show humility and humanity is the same as Satan urging people to practise Christian principles. LIAR!
