That airport should be named as DAME EUGENIA AIRPORT. She is well known Figure around the world,and also has a nice ring to it.
How can he ever have a debate, when he is using all team Dominica,(UWP) ideas and style making it his own. This guy is unbelievable. Dominicans better watch out. He’s very slick.
call elections nah ?
Honestly Mr. PM you need to understand q95 is paying tax and creating employment for you as the PM to be that bold it just not right sir and not about party is about principle. Sir you are not being professional sir Kairi is a private owned station so why one and not the other.
life is strange and the p.m seems to be forgetting that . he is rejecting Q95. today but he may need it one day.
this is clearly a childish move. but then again we were wrong to put a child in a big man job
The only press conference I want to listen to and see with my eyes , is the debate between skerrit and Lennox Linton.
Ever heard of espoire mal papaya?
Are U nuts or something? I know( IT’S) legal in Holland to smoke in the Parks many US cities but not yet in DA but maybe U have ur prescription from Dr. Benjie for Medical &/or Recreational use That sucker would be Green/white around the Gills, if that were to take place. You would see ur P.M faint.
me too.
Ko-ki-yo-ko!!!
Grand Bay, Dominica, our hearts are bleeding, our eyes filled with tears to see and listen to a press conference by the leader of Dominica, Roosevelt Skerrit as he deliberately left out a giant media house, the BIG STATION Q95FM and its listeners.
How on earth could any Dominican approve of this kind of childish behavior by the Prime minister? It seems like he has become a full fledge dictator, and believes he has the full backing of the masses. People! If you continue to support this madness, then, there’s something fundamentally wrong about you and what you stand for. At the end, you are going to regret what you’ve created. I pray that God shall open your eyes for the sake of your children. CHANGE MUST COME BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
So why could not the Minister of Health break this story yesterday.
The decision was made previously and they plan was to use this opportunity for Mr.Skerrit to grandstand after the Minister of Health had no decision on the matter within the last 24hrs.
Good cop – Bad cop behavior, This the right decision and could have been made all along but you all choose to string out Dominican to elevate your re-election.
Hope Dominicans are bright enough to see through this….
You meant Tim Tim could have made the same statement. Definitely not. Why allow him to do it when you can use the opportunity to catch more votes in the upcoming elections?
Ban Mepuis….PM should not play political games with people emotions concerning their health and safe with Ebola.
So that is why I making the point..Skerrit is about Skerrit only and not Dominicans……VERY LOW Politician.
Now you appear to have over come your fear of being questioned by Carlye, Matt, Angello, Charles James, you cannot stop their. It is time to over ride the fear of a debate with Mr. Lennox Linton.
It might be controversial, but I’m an in accord with the PM on this one. Pay the monies negotiated with the band, but keep them out of Dominica for now. Does this means that we’re in the clear? Certainly not. An ounce of prevention has always been better than a pound of cure.
It appears that Tim Tim was wrong on this one. He said that we’re ready for the Ebola virus, while the PM stated otherwise.
What say you Tim Tim?
AM tuned in i think you did something that you have not done in a longtime and respect the peoples voice.
UWPwi!!! Team Dominica? Is that a political party or some kind of sports team?
As you rightly recognize it is a TEAM and a one man band, thank you.
your name alone describing you.
Very interesting – Our Independence celebration is going to be screwed up by a divisive celebration. So what is Charles Saverin and Skerrit going to tell the nation on November 3? Surely they wont be issuing a call for unity and dialogue because dialogue means debate and unity means no mepwuis and propaganda.
Visitors going to be coming in to see old shoes hanging on electrical wires- not a pretty site at all. But it’s politicians they are like
The Grand Fond Petitte Savanne Road will be completed by next week.
It was completed before Skerrit was born. You mean the repairs will be finally completed. Go and see dr. Hazelf for your myopia.
Rename of Melville Hall airport- plans to build new jet airport; new hospital ; sports complex and bla bla bla bla – then he will say keep your eyes on me for the ringing of the bell ; all that we have already heard before
He fraid Ebola crisis is going to put the final nail in the coffin
for his regime. Election time…mwen bien banday!!!!!!. CHANGE IS A MUST!
Assertive, NOT Agressive!
don’t tell me……he’s getting a divorce.
lol a news conference on lennox linton hahahahahha alasss call it now skerite i dare u too.
It takes a man to grow balls not a mouse. Therefore, keeping other radio stations out suggest the latter.
Your comment made me scroll back two names to reread what @anonymous wrote.
A lot of speculation so let me add to it. He may make Timothy look foolish and make himself a hero and announce we are banning the musicians from Africa after all.
call it nah?
I wonder if it’s going to be about Lennox?
He prefers to leave out Q95 because he will get questions that he either cannot or not prepared to answer.
let me see if you have the balls to call election.
this is communism skerrit why isnt qfm invited if you say dominica is a democratic country man you must grow some balls and take critics,grow up.nothing you say this afternoon will make sense anyway same bull from you all the time.
Call it I need a date so I can book a few tickets… We put u in we can put u out…call it Mr PM .. While u at it pay the law school so the students can get there LLC…they did not walk up to the podium but they will get there stuff….
Hope you invite all the media houses.
Two press conference in one week? since when??? Workers have press conference so L have 2 in a week? We LEAD they follow!
We shall inform you of future plans for wood ford hill and federation drive
why in heavens name these people running this country would discriminate against Q95, 80 to 90 percent of people listen to QFM than DBS and KIRI put together. However i hope curtis mathew, the reporter for vibes radio and all his media associates that he invite will ask the HARD questions just as they ask Lenox Linton we will be listening.
Influx of projects signed or in the initiation stage.
Press conference ! Election!
It Does not take a genius to figure out that the piper is reeling in the mice after tantalising them with bits of cheese!
he finally gna call it
Please Honorable Prime Minister kindly announce election date at the press conference
Doesn’t he know that a lot of Dominicans also listen to Q95? Why this omission? Silly.
