Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has hinted that by the end of September that at least 500 young people will be offered employment opportunities.
This because a major US-based company is doing ground work here and if all goes well, is expected to set up operations in Dominica.
“I hope to be in a position before the end of this month to announce the creation of at least 500 new jobs for young Dominicans,” Skerrit said at a Dominica Labour Party delegates conference in Pointe Michel on Sunday.
The prime minister said the Government has done all on its part, but the final decision rests with the Board of Directors of the company.
“I will not jump the gun here this afternoon, but I assure you that all the preparatory work has been done,” he said. “The Government of Dominica has done everything in its power to make this happen, and it is now for the board of directors … to give the green light for this company to set up shop in Dominica.”
Almost one month ago, US-based Clear Harbour, announced its decision to axe 243 employees.
The company said it was adding two new accounts to its existing one and will re-hire the redundant workers.
Did that US company finally made it home? If yes, were any of the position filled? What kind of business were they going to do back home anyway?
The words of a desperate man.
I hope this is true and he follows through with it. DA needs a shift toward more positivity, especially for the youths, who have seen their parents’ struggles and want to eliminate that multi-generational poverty. Furthermore, I hope those jobs will provide enough income for those employees to afford bus fare, food for the day, money for necessities, plus enough disposable income to take their love ones for a weekend treat. #Stop giving incentives to the rich, and give them to the poor.
I think the opposition is stuck in political trance… they believe that this is Prime minister practicing politics of the past which they are used to. The irony is the same bad politics and lies they accuse the prime minister of is how they themselves operate.
a jock that man
DNO, I am not seeing my comment. I will say it again!
The name of Alex Bruno’s Play is “Man does Lie”
why would the prime minister lie about creating jobs?
If he did not lie, where are the jobs? It is the ending of October. WHERE ARE the jobs that were coming in the end of September?
He is the best Prime Minister..
You are so right, he is BEST at telling lies.
We need change in this country. I hope Dominicans smart enough to not buy these lies and vote you back in office. 15 years of this mess was enough. We need change!!!
change to what?!
Manti ka Santi
Like the man said who owed me money:” the cheque is in the post…” Good thing if these jobs are coming, to replace the ones we are losing but a promise is just a promise, a politician’s main asset, and I will believe it only when I see these jobs for real.
I am for jobs and 500 new jobs really sounds good to the ear. But let’s put away politics for now and be true Dominicans again.
Hon. Skerrit, what sense it makes to try to get 500 new job from a foreign at a time when quite a few Dominicans will be losing their job due to the closure of Breeze’s Mart OCT. 1? After all sir, we are Dominicans first and we do have a right to agree or disagree with political parties and and we have a right to do so in a peaceful and respectful manner, like Mr. Brisbane did.
Sir, it was your security minister, who was not elected by the people that called for the boycott of Breeze’s mart. Labourites listened to him and come Octo 1 2013, they will close down and more Dominicans will be left without a salary. But what hurts more is the fact that neither the PM and party leader, nor, president or PRO of the DLP ever condemned Savrin’s statement. By the time a new election is called Mr. Savrin will retire and tax payers will have to pay him a salary; when tax payers are sent home, how will Mr. dangerous Savrin get a salary? Do you call this leadership?
Election is comming and everyone is making promises. The Govt. will make new ones and refresh the old ones. The oposition likewise will make new ones. They both are going to promise us jobs, an international airport, more food on our table, a better Dominica and a better life. We have to look at what is being said and how realistic are those promises. How are they going to achieve these things to make good on their promises. We are in some hard times like the rest of the world and nothing is going to come easy. The super powers of the world are struggling so we are expected to have it difficult. So when the political parties try to make us believe that they can make us walk on streets of gold know they are fakes. When they tell us that they will stabilize this country, slowly move forward in strengthening our economy with our help and that of other countries then we know they are close to reality. Lets hear from you Labour and UWP.
Are you kidding me! 500 jobs out of a population of 80.000 people? For over ten years in power and now election is coming, and he promises 500 jobs. This man really thinks he can fool us.
Invest in Dominica but just do not express your political views or the Government will ask Dominicans to boycott your business!
What time is it??? Election Time!!!
Need some plywood, or a little Rum!!!
Oh yeah and there will be jobs for everyone!
This year when you go PMH You can get Paracetamol!
Oh you need a bike.. Here you go son! Oh here’s a red shirt, Don’t open it fast cause lots of cash
will fall out.
Will we be fooled again???
not 300 again now is 500 then + 200 = 700 , hmmm
Stop promising and just do it, actions speaks louder thans words. Cha man !!
Smh, lack of jobs create more criminals on the island
misieu sa manti..manti… you hear lie?
One thing all you like that skerrit eh. But don’t worry all you will see him there for another 15 years again. Is just so 5 years ago all you was bursting DNO with comments and when we get 18 seats. All you run and hide. we will catch all you with all you pants down again, don’t be afraid. We shall not be and never be moved. Go educate yourselves and read a book, get some work done, go get a degree. Instead of waiting for DNO to post any article about the PM for all you to give him mapewii. Go teach all you kids to read a book, go cook a meal, go do something!!!
I want to know why u doing with ur degree? Making bomb?
Mr. Skerrit you have nothing else to offer the youth of this nation that will inspire hope. We voted you and trusted you and instead of keeping with the promise to make life on this island better for all of us, the part of the bargain you have kept is making life better for you and yours. For a matter of fact when the question is posed, where can one find the richest men in politics? We the nation knows the answer too well.
Doctor we have supported you well over the years despite the lies, allegations and innuendos according to you but every day we stumble upon new revelations and information. Right now ministers have so much money they don’t know what to do with it, but time will tell.
This government has been a failed experiment. We have seen the roads and some improvement in scanty proportions but where it really matters we have seen no more than empty promises. Instead of new jobs being created we see more jobs for the boys. What have you done; to grow the Dominican economy, include the delinquent youth who wonders around, cater to the multiplied thousands leaving school every year, how about those you provide university education toT there seem to be more questions than answers. You have proven that you are not the answer to Dominica’s problems for you only come across as one of those self serving politicians that the region has ever known and there is going to be a day of reckoning. Bob Marley said “everyday the bucket a go a wel one day de bottom a fi drop out”, that day will soon come.
Meme lamer la ki mateh yoh cai teweh yoh! we desperately need a change and we say most emphatically that change is not an option, change is a must. well thank you!

Fellow Dominicans,
Lets be realistic and separate politics from reality itself. We have been for the past 6 years in a world of economic turbulence and it’s apparent that we are slowly at this moment recovering and making great trends.
Now, during those 6 years of global economic downturn Dominica appeared to have done tremendously well economically compared with most of the other countries in the world. After all, I think we should give credit to the present government, the DLP.
Without a doubt, any government elected, be it DLP, UWP, Freedom Party, would love to see Dominica prosper. Most, or probably all of the Dominican politicians are godly, ambitious, and have good intentions.
Had all have the required resources and other means to develop and prosper this country of Dominica, they would.
We are educated, we have the credentials, we have the experience and the skills, and most of all we have the godly wisdom but the other resources are scarce.
In summary, we fight and hurt each other for an opportunity to prove ourselves. Let’s unite and work as a team to move this nation forward.
While i agree with most of your comments, i think you fail to realized that we Dominican is aware that its difficult times.
That is why we want to be sure that every tax dollar paid is accounted for properly. We want to be sure that the scarce resources are allocated in the most efficient way and at minimum cost. We want to be sure that the government of the day are transparent and we get the best deals ( minimum cost) at an accepted level of risk.
we want to ensure that our social programs are properly targeted. we want to eliminate wastage and increase productivity.
we want to ensure that projects go through the proper tendering process.
when things are bad every dollar is important. When the people see wastage , abuse of power, low productivity , ministers and their cronies only doing well in these hard times it leave the concerned and patriotic with no choice but to ENSURE THAT CHANGE IS A MUST AND NOT AN OPTION.
The same 500 jobs promissed last year, and the year before na?? lol lol
You mean to tell me; after more than 12 years in office the Prime Minister is only promising 500 jobs? YES PRIME MINISTER!
So WHEN and WHERE can I bring in my application?
Jobs will depend on company final decision. So why are you anouncing when you have no controle. He said gov has done all it can. So i guess ppl trained facility to House workers prepared salaries negotiated etc etc. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Vote wisely
The labor party is going to keep winning and keep digging Dominica deeper and deeper into debt. We are in a Modern world, and in a modern society people are held accountable for the things that they do, even in communist China, politicians are held accountable when they take bribes and gifts from business men.
In Dominica we are told to mine our business and we accept that as truth and there are those of us who cheer to that type of rubbish. I want the very best for my dear country I really do, but I fear it will remain one of the most underdeveloped countries in the caribbean because of the people of Dominica unwillingness to DEMAND change. I am not saying change will come by changing party or politicians, Change will only come when we as a people demand better we tell these clowns that we want state of the art hospitals, skilled doctors, globally competitive education (not the scholarships in non-english speeaking countries) I could go on and on and on
500 new jobs in…… call center yay!!
Commonsense would make your supporters want to ask you, why now and why here? Why after 13 yrs u feeding us what is rightfully ours like trinkets?
So I’m humbly asking what are we loosing to gain such an enterprise?
The Name of Alex Play is “Man does lie”
Dont u knw dat roads is a must airports, hospitals is a must,wen he do all dat u thinking oh praise skerit
the thing I want to know is where did he get the money he took to do the work that his saying he did , people need to let the PM know that the ppl his put him there to work for all the people of Dominica and thats what his getting paid for so stop saying what he did and start putting jobs in d/a so Dominicans can move back and live in there place to give places like Antigua some free up
But all you never do it when all you was there! so praise skerrit
This is a response to the poll. This talk is just for the elections. Job creation has never been a policy of the Labour Party. They are prepared to provide Milk, cheese and butter to a selected few. Dominicans need their own cow.
Was job creation the policy of the previous government? How many people were employed under that government? How many businesses were opened and operable then? What was Dominica’s progress then? Did Dominica progress then?
Justice and truth..you hungry??? EAT the new bridge…EAT the nice road….what??? u need shoes and clothes????? WEAR the stadium, WEAR the college……Oh u have a headache….go hospital..oh shayte i forget they doe have painkillers…
u homeless??? SLEEP in the state house..
stupesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Even if Skerrit tells me that someone is at my back with a hammer “Ready to Knock Me Out”. I won’t turn back. LIES LIES LIES. OMG!
Thou shall not lie, steal cheat, etc,etc, etc,
Elections are coming soon and with it come the promises!
The problems with this man, his ministers and parl. reps is that they promise so much before elections but they hardly delivery anything thereafter. We’ve heard your promises before, Skerrit. Now please promise us one more final thing and make sure it does not turn out a lie as usual: “I will resign at the end of 2013”.
Ok so now theer are 800 jobs, 300 promised by Mr.Austrie and 500 by Mr.Skerrit. Please keep us posted as these jobs becomes available. I wonder if we would be able to keep count of all thses jobs.
You cannot be serious, are you that dumb.
Skerrit added 200 to Austrie’s 300 so its 500.
800
500-300=200
Sherrit is desperate, soon or later people gonna realise that, its only HOT AIR he is feeding them
You are talking a lot of nonsense. If he is desperate, it is not for him personally but for the employment of Dominicans.
Try and picture Skerrit, not being D/ca’s PM, can’t you see WHO are his friends, Dictators and he is supporting China one party policy, So when you think Skerrit is looking for jobs for you, he is looking for how he could remain in power or maybe you sitting on your brain and cant think for yourself
500 jobs?…..Ok I get it..
250 gwajaying toloma and 250 digging manioc (mayok)
LOL
bondoo look jokes this morning, love DNO comments
more lies………………………………..
Ohh, so USA giving jobs and China taking them. All I know is local entrepreneurs will never be able to shine because of the stiff competition.
You said a US based company, which US based company? are you making this up because of the up-coming election?
“none of your Damn Business” When I tell you something just believe me. Have I ever lied to you?
It makes no sense posting comments if one cannot say what he wants to say, DNO. What’s the problem?
Leadership in all you face, keep up the good works PM, How many is the Talk show host leader is promising? or has created ? starting on himself to get out of unemployment? Charity begins at home.
Checking his chickens before they hatch
You are sounding even more stupid than Skerrit.Thing is when you have a long history of lying, noone believes you in anything that you say. I do not believe a heck that Skerrit says. He is the worst Prime Ministers the Caribbean has ever seen, and will ever see. You seem to be one of his fools clapping while he is insulting Dominicans, and getting involved in his rum shop politics. GOOD FOR YOU!
HE REALLY SHOULD BE DISCARDED BY THE ELECTORATE.
In the event that it materialises that would be very good news for the young people of Dominica. But we must all remember that this is exactly what a government is in office to do. They are paid good salaries and given sizeable allowances to create the right climate for job creation. It is nothing to beat your chest on especially when you have been in office for 13 years. However, as good citizens we must pray that these jobs come through
Remember also is the silly season of Election
Hon. Prime Minister in the United States today right at this moment companies are given tax incentives for creating Jobs in the US. What is it that you are offering this company that the United States is not able to offer? I am not aware of any US company who at this moment would want to set up shop in Dominica a country with poor air access compounded with the LIAT situation and poor port infratructure and even the question of doing business makes it even more difficult, as far as i understand it even local business persons are having a hell of a time to even restructure their business, Government from all over the caribbean with much better infrastructure are finding it most difficult to attract foreign investment, a US base call center in Dominica looks like they are rapping up operations, yet 500 jobs coming to DA from the US, please Hon PM advise other caribbean leaders how best to do what you just did. And like the goodly leader of the UWP Lenox Linton said on Matt program this is good news for Dominica while we wait patiently for the arrival of these 500 jobs, the constituents of the unemployed will be smiling, guess we will expect to hear a high way from Scotts Head to Portsmouth with the various exits to villages on the west coast soon builty by the chinese
Dr. Doom, it’s a good thing Dominicans are not depending on you to help out! Roll up your sleeves, shut up your mouth & get busy to help your country and I don’t mean by sending barrels of substandard products to your family! If you are so knowledgeable, surely you must have some ideas to create opportunities for your less fortunate countrymen & women.
Straight Shooter, you may wish to ask yourself for the fourteen years of this Labor Party administration in office are you able to give the Dominica people a Job count created from then to now? One year before an election am i to believe 500 jobs are coming? Rest assured these 500 jobs will never come under Labor.
There is something you need to know,facts do not cease to excise simply because of your ignorance.Why is it you write such nonsense without understanding what type of jobs the PM is able to bring to Dominica.The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.
what we sow is what we dominican are going to reap.
These stories are becoming more and more laughable.This is the same administration that could not absored the many layoffs from Canefield industrial Estate and now all of a sudden you can invent 500 jobs??
Well, it seems like its true that we have magicians in Da!!
This is just another election ploy and it is not going to work on my People. We are too smart for that!!
Is Skerro talking about the jobs he went to procure in Arizona last month? But shouldn’t there be infrastructure before the WORKERS move-in? Or is he going to house them in tents??
It is now the middle of the month and he said by month-end?? Well lets wait and see papa!
Who ever is buying these pills from Skerrit, please do not come and sell them in Mahaut.We are too smart for that.
Ok Skerro, soon you will tell us that you going to turn the canefield Airport into an International one. Ha Ha ha !!
But again there are still those who believe him!
From what I am seeing the opposition is ready for elections, no more selling of dreams by DLP.
Facts is whats we go by.
If the jobs become a reality that would be significant cause the country is in a mess.
While we must all hope that the project comes to fruition we must remain cautiously optimstic as t hese type of jobs are very volatile. A company that is willing to set up shop in a forign country within a period of two months is one that we should approach with caution.
What we need are sustainable jobs through reliable investments. We need to create an environment for solid foreign investments. While Clear Harbor provu ded the much needed jobs our emplyment sector must be built on a strong foundation.
It is not surprising that people are suspicious of the announcement right at the warming point of the election campaign. The ideal question is where was this company two years ago. If the company can mobilize in twi months why wasnr this effort made two or five years ago. Or even a year ago.
Garçon Marn doh know whom your economic advisors are but Marn Done know there are differences between Hand-outs and sustainable living yeh,,,
You need to come clean and tell people what exactly you getting, what those jobs are and who exactly you dealing wiff,,,
You cannot come and put people in more servitude and call dat Jobs, dats just passing time,,,
People need real jobs, real career oriented duties where dey can do entry level work build on a career learn while working have a good living and hopefully good retirement, not hand-out from establishments that can juss say “ok we done dealing with you and dats dat”!!!
People should know the real deal and who/what this company called Clear Harbor is/they do,,,
A whole bunch of people sitting in a room calling people and providing customer service is not real Jobs,,,
http://www.clearharbor.biz/services/index.html
Dominica needs real growth!!!
Garçon for d umpteenth time is Fertile Soil Dominica have instead of going and talk to dem US/Canadian/EU based companies for hand-outs telling dem “bring your ships here” or telling dem “put a call center here like you did in Grenada” talk to dem Agro-based establishments nuh and implement/improve some kinnda Agro-based or sectors where Dominicans can really take some raw materials and turn dem into some furnished goods,,,
Soh much Mango Dominica have wasting every mango season why you doh try to established some kinnda Canning establishment!!!
Dat alone will fuel soh much “utilities”,,,
why you doh Nationalize dat whole aggregate bizniss dere where you have dem french pardners and dat one Family making millions upon millions and Dominicans not seeing noffing in VAT for dat Value dey Adding to all dat Material dey getting for next to nothing might as well be free!!!
But den again you and your Cabal is juss Lickle Bois trying to wear some Big-Man Clothes so no wonder allyou always looking like “Clowns” in some oversized Pants!!!
yAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
How are you not jumping the gun when you opened your mouth before the company has had a chance to announce their decision?
stupesss. Skerrit think is everybody that drinking ur stupid pills not true. So long u in power u cannot provide employment, where the heck the jobs coming out. What! to work as election officers on election day and then forget about people again. Man quit playing with people eh. *sigh* Ur job i will take from you.
A promise is a comfort to a fool. After 13 years Labour cannot point to the jobs that they have already created so they must speculate about jobs that is to come! At such a major conference Labour cannot big up its chess and boast of job creation so it must resort to more promises to comfort the fools!
But why so quick to critisize,aint it better to wait an see,after all 500 jobs would be a blessing to Dominica
exectly my point they quick to comment. just wait and see if it does not happen then blast him. they did thesame thing for the stadium and the college. then everybody shut up like momo when it was done.
you all the commenting negative will look like the fools.
He did not wait and see before he opened his mouth and promise.
yes, it would be amazing to have 500 new jobs, the sicken thing about this is the psycology and marketing strategy they working on people as elections coming up. they want to keep their faces in the news, they want o get their points across. that won’t fool me. things still tight. look beyond the illusion my dear. look beyond.
DNO is not fun anymore. They only posting two or so lines of your comments and as a result you cannot use facts to respond to articles. The new DLP strategy?
hmmm, ohhhhhh, it starting to hurt you now? plently people wudnt talk in the open but plenty will do so on DNO. You not seeing the country people fed up!!! you grasping at straws to save ur party. hahaha, party party party… enjoy the party.. hahaha. silly fool.
Simple arithmetic, Clear Harbor sends home 243 that leaves 257, Brizee Mart sends home 25 left 232, Where else? A small company is closing and sending home 15 left 217. A number of public servants are retiring without replacement, they call that attrition. So net employment, IF and only IF, the 500 jobs materialize we are left with just about 200 jobs in 15 years,so why is Skerrtit beating his chest? Plus the jobs are as volatile as water vapor, created today evaporated tomorrow.
what happen is skerrit fault if business closing. go and watch news on tv and you will get news all round the world is crisis with unemployment. dominica still have it goodthan over places.
Didn’t he also say that China was building a massive international airport on the roof of the State Malice palace that opening Sept. 20013?
stupes you do not worth a response. ignorant
hahahahaha, I thought is a pool they putting there for wet fete ehh. hahaha
Words, So why did waste your time to respond? I guess you have nothing to do eh? But you right I just making fun of the big joker PM that is now promising to do everything that we know he will not do. So why not an airport too? Did you get it?
DNO ADMIN….IT seems that UWP likes and dislikes and comments are the only ONES being accepted. is also doing a number on all you…that high Computer techn ,,,,alas papa…controlling public opinion alas…delusional trick….that cana didn’t stop the several thousands at La Pointe on Sunday behhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh keep on hating 19-2 will sooon come.
labour power it is in our blood. its a must for another 5 years.
Careful what you ask for.
hahaha, you wish!!! You doe even know why you would vote labour. you can only give silly excuse about basic things a government should be doing anyways. you blind. you’re excused. you will praise workers in time… just wait… u might be surprised… 21!!!! Dominicans is people to full up a convention and be against them, you think they doe want their pocket lined election coming. line ur pocket but don’t be foolish. you think is workers ppl alone to benefit if they win? the whole country will. in labour, only one set benefiting. you doe think if u alone benefiting and another not they wudnt commit a crime against u if they hungry? if everybody eating everybody happy.
Admin, DNO, I’ll keep it short & real.
Time will tell eh! Meanwhile, the Lougaoo is smiling.
“PM Skerrit promises 500 new jobs?” Well I have a bridge to sell you, Dominica.
The government in a whole need to think bold, how can we as government creat solid steady jobs here? Bring in investor to look at beach front, to…
Clear harbor made redundant 243 workers in Dominica and expanded it’s operations in Grenada; somebody please tell me why. And the PM said the’ but…

You’ve only justified your name. Really!!!!!!
There’s nothing there to jump about, i can read and i know u can also. look at the key words in his Statments. (HOPE) so that means there is a level…
It is often said, ” A promise is a comfort to a fool”
So lets see who takes the bait from this habitual vendor of untruths.
Am so happy u said that mojo1 cause i was promised an international airport,dominica own airline so in power or not am looking for them cause there’s some one out there that told him they will give it to him,next time around am voting for him cause like u said am scared to take that bait this time around.
am not sure what I just read but am gonna comment on the two things I get… if u say is UWP that promised the international airport then how u expect things to happen in the little 4.5 years they had and two, if you are saying that u will vote again for them because you not falling for their workers bait then pal I thin you are soo wrong. tell me what else allu need to open allu eyes and see that the government is taking allu for a ride. am just saying.. I dunno if I understand ur statement correctly. someone please enlighten me.
A man that in power should not be making promises, he should be executing them. So it is rather ridiculous to compare a man that in power to one that is out.
@ real Posie,
i am still awaiting for you to show your manhood and post with your real name.while you at it don’t forget to continue what you started about my wife running loose in Posie. On a different note i am shame of the content of your comment giving that you are from posie. I would want to believe that any rational thinking individual would not compare an opposition with no budget and a parliamentarian with a budget and parliament backing ( the eyes always have it) with respect to deliverables from campaign promises.
real posie , you support so blindly that you making yourself a fool. When DLP was in opposition did you all ask them what they did and how are they going to achieve their promises. Did you knew before hand that Dominica was going to sever ties with China. I Guess the table change.
@ the topic,
in this guava crop time , any news of employment is very welcoming given the fact the employment has been soaring over the past decade. Mr. Prime Minister i commend you with your efforts to pull this one off. i hope that you give every possible concession while holding firm to the respect of our labor code ( as these firms sometimes seek to pay wages below statutory minimum and avoid paying overtime ). Most importantly i will be the first to congratulate you come October the first and i pray that this company set up shop in Dominica.
Though not yet delivered ,but if true you made the effort and on that note i must say job well done.
It shows that you start listening to People. we have said and will continue to say that we need jobs . Yes jobs that are sustainable and pays well. However to achieve such objective i think we need a paradigm shift. Its time for fresh ideas, creativity and a bit of innovation. ON THAT NOTE I WOULD LIKE TO REITERATE THE FACT THAT CHANGE SHOULD BE A MOST AND NOT AN OPTION.
I VOTING FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL DROP OUT WHO’S GOT COMMITMENT, CHARACTER AND COMPETENCE. DON’T FORGET THE DYNAMIC TEAMS THAT SURROUNDS OUR ESTEEM LEADER.
YES IAN DOUGLASS. WE HAVE A SPACE FOR YOU . WE WILL NOT SABOTAGE YOU TO GET RID OFF YOU.
@ Ted boss i say what i say i never call your name u took it to be u so thats on u am sure u not the only one living in Antigua i never reply to what u had to say cause i did not like what u had to say about your family i left DA a long time so i had no idea about all what u had to say.U guys tend to call people names on here i don’t,now u say am blind ok but for the little light i can see what this government did and is still doing i like what i see more could be done but for the times we in its ok,i run my own business and i know how tuff it is to do so in these times much less for this government.Some how when people voice their oppion on here u all tend to think they red boss if it was uwp that was doing what labour doing i wld feel the same way thats all i have to say to u for now,got no time to spell check if any of my words plz feel free to laugh at me.
what will you do with an international airport? How do plan to support and operate an airline for international travel? before you build a house you must survey the land, clear it, inspect it, build your foundation then your house… why would you build a house in the middle of a desert? Dominica is a desert for international travel, we don’t have the infrastructure to support that type of traffic. the country has to progress from within technologically, academically, financially, socially , culturally, business wise to support and take advantage of the influx of traffic the international airport would bring otherwise the foreign nationals building the airport and the UWP people that taking the money will be the only ones benefiting!! UDOHREADYET!
@ Real Posie,
Antigua is a very small place. i know everyone from Portsmouth that reside in Antigua. I am the only person from Posie leaving in Antigua that have a woman in my case wife that resides in Portsmouth.Moreover i am the only person who post regularly by my right name that lives in Antigua. Also there are very few post where individuals use fake names and mention that they leaves in Antigua. Don’t forget i am blogging from since the days of CAKafette. Most off all i can say that of all posie people leaving in Antigua i am the only one that do not support DLP.
Don’t start what you cannot finish . As a matter of fact i did not even blog yet for the day but you were on my back.
I come here and have never called someone name in a manner that’s derogatory,defamatory or any such way to embarrass them. I’ve been posting from the days of Cakafette and one reason why i use my right name is to ensure that i am responsible with my post.
As a practicing economist and one with political aspiration , i take a deep interest in whats going on in my country and the global economy.
I don’t come here pretending like i know it all but i share my views as a concerned Dominican and i also learned a lot here as well. There are a few bloggers Like Peeping TOM , MET YO etc that clearly supports DLP ,we debated a lot here and although we disagree on a lot of issues i must say that we never got so low and i did learn a few things from them in the process.
That is what excite me here . i learn here , try educate people here and at times i get a good laugh at some comments . Am not DLP/UWP/DFP. Never vote yet in Dominica. However i said since the days of CAKAfete that i will not support any government that oppose an INTERNATIONAL Airport. They use to tell me that i putting the chicken before the eggs. so long no eggs coming. i say now put the airport ( chicken) and recognizable hotels ( the eggs) will come. ON THAT NOTE I SAY CHANGE SHOULD BE A MUST AND NOT AN OPTION. if UWP come and cannot deliver then out they going. i will be the first to admit i was wrong.
Peace.
hahaha ebeh he trying too hard…..hard in the paint….
yes you right say that if he was not trying you would be blasting the government. just cannot please you cabal

the critics will say that until we see the jobs materialise, then this is all talk. and the critics will be correct. talk is free.
@LIMINGLUCY I am one of the critics. Even if Skerrit tells me that someone is at my back ready to ‘knock me out’ I WON’T TURN BACK. I have no dealing with LIES AND THOSE WHO LIE.
Hey Diddle Diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon, the little dog laughed to see such fun, and the dish ran away with the spoon…
lol
you will sing another sound later when it materialize. ungrateful people
@Positive, Are you out of mind? What am I to be grateful for? What Skerrit did that was there or in pipeline? Oh State palace? Ok, my bad cause we just needed the state palace to turn things around. Should I be grateful for the crime rate? $8 Million on Liat? Closure of Breezemart? Met us with a reliable American Airline that he could ONLY replace with Seaborne? Unemployment?
Everything the man said he was going to do he has done… what is he lying about? I hope to Jah that none of these corrupt snakes that want a piece of the Dominican pie reach power because even if they never went to school they all have PHD’s (player hating degrees)
cant fool the people all the time,election approching but the sorry people of dominica,handout receipts,will fall for the lies.

Is this in addition to the 300 new jobs you promised not so long ago Mr PM (dno story of 20th August-http://dominicanewsonline…
that was less than a month ago… are you dumb? how do you imagine 300 people gaining instant employment ?
I don’t believe anything from Skerrit unless there is hard evidence, the man lies soo much.
yes he lieing just like the college and the staduim you workers said is was a lie. and the night landing will not work, flights coming all 1 in the morning when all you sleep. all mouths close like momo. But god is a good god.
