Seems you dying to handle that money there…that burning u so much to see all that money and u can not handle a dollar in it eh…too bad for u…u had ur time…LOPS have u goin bad
I recall Brisbane writing to these ppl about your concerns of mishandling of funds and i recall also that they responded say that all cents given was properly accounted for. This is our country instead of bringing it down because of your political issue let left it up for this is our beloved country. Only in Dominica we have so much to say about a country where we were born and bread. For once give the Red Boyz and break and say thanks for all they are doing. After all only they can get such assistant for this country after all those critizing them.
On the behalf of the people of Dominica,I wish to sincerely thank the CDF for the assistance,however,I have my concerns as regards the proper handling of all that money. In my opinion,them red boys doesn’t have the best of reputation when it comes to the handling of such large sums of money.I cannot forget the gabbage bins.I cannot forget the commess that occured during the building of some sea walls as reported by a business man. I cannot forget the alledged disappearance of $54m ala Layou Hotel.I cannot forget the alledged us$400,000 from a Chinese lady. Please CDF, keep your eyes open at all times.
Dear Doc. Love,
We appreciate your concerns; however, we are confident that the Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica will use this much needed funds in the best interest of the development of ALL Dominicans.

Now can we start working on our hospital and international airport? We need access to better health care here in our country, not Martinique or Cuba but in Dominica.
Please listen to our plea. I Still love my PM.
