My apologies for sending a comment to you that made it seem as though you had not posted one of my comments. Actually, my comment to your news item would have been that you committed the same offence as the ‘other guys’. You have the name of Kiana Dupuis spelt differently from the way it is spelt under the photo (one has to be wrong, so wrong, so please check) Thank you!
Congratulations Marquela!!!!!!!!!!
Whoop whoop!!!!!!!!!
Congats Kiana

To my fellow DUMINICANS stop that biasness you all are carring out in this country, please have a little more respect for the PM no matter if you are surporting his party or not. everything is a politrise or an insulting comment. alu that talking dnt have alu lapou donda but allu giving on the PM. get a life DUMINICAINS.
This coming from someone posting within a “virtual” forum… Some people have no respect if you’re from Dominica I feel nothing but pity for your family as you are only labelling yourself in your ignorance
It’s like there is only one minister across the whole government. Well I guess Dominicans like it so. Every public event is that man. Go on Skerro . . . lol
Who is the Minister responsible for Co-operatives.
I believe is the PM. Not sure, there was a move to move Co-operatives under the Business Unit (the one doing Investment, sale of passport) – so if that was done is the Pm -Minister of finance.
The Minister responsible for Non- Financial Cooperatives is the Hon. Gloria Shillingford….she was also present at the function
The Prime Minister is the Minister of Finance-responsible for financial Cooperatives better known as the Credit Unions
