Public Works Minister Rayburn Blackmoore has issued a strong warning against persons who misappropriate the assets of the Public Work Corporation (PWC).
Speaking at a public works presentation ceremony yesterday, Blackmoore said that the full extent of the law will be used against anyone who is proven to have stolen the corporation’s assets.
“We’re always hearing about who take this and who take that but we never say who we saw taking this. Let me say to you, as a minister… any person who is held misappropriating assets of the Public Works Corporation will be held responsible,” he stated.
Blackmoore promised a transformed PWC in the near future.
“I want to see a new Public Works Corporation. We have made some changes and let me just say there are more changes to be made and these changes will be made sooner rather than later. We cannot leave what we should do today for tomorrow. And we have to critically look at ourselves and do some serious introspection, are we really working to the best of our ability…are we being fair to the Dominican tax payers?,” he said.
“Somebody drives into a pothole they say…. Skerrit. Nobody says about the persons who are being paid and trained and I am convinced that the persons who are doing the work on the road – patching the roads – they know what they need , supposed to do, they have been trained,” he added.
The minister said that while persons may not agree with some measures that are to be taken, they are in the best interest of the corporation.
“I am in total compliance with that and I will seek to ensure that it is honoured… some persons may not be happy but we have to do what we have to do in the interest of the Public Works Corporation and first of all in the interest of the national interest… Rayburn Blackmoore’s interest cannot be more important than the national interest,” he said.
POLITICS DEFINITION (POLY “many”- tics “blood-sucking parasites”)
What? Another joke?
Is it true that Public works did a major job at Mr Blackmore’s new house?
Is it true that the entire road leading up to his house is being cleaned and spruced up?
Is it true that lots of trees were cut along the main road to open up the view from his house?
Maybe the speech was to himself ? interesting!!
COME JANUARY 2011 PWC WILL HAVE A NEW MANGER AND THAT COMPANY WILL BE MOVING FORWARD . FIRE HEHE I BUY MY DEGREE ON EBAY
Really and truely we should just stop talking in Dominica and start doing some serious work…..Minister Blackmoore please…..i will bet that next year or so you will be back saying these same words…
.introspection hehehehehehehe…… (Introspection is the self-observation and reporting of conscious inner thoughts, desires and sensations. It is a conscious mental and usually purposive process relying on thinking, reasoning, and examining one’s own thoughts, feelings, and, in more spiritual cases, one’s soul.)
Lets stop with the fancy term and start doing something…if need be fire who have to be fired as u said…they have been trained so if they are not doing the job today they still will not be doing it tomorrow.
And please give PWC some money…the banks are pounding at our doors but we cant pay them because PWC can not pay us….
ministers take first, from the top!
Don’t do as I and others like me do. Do as I say.
Look at the Public works garage and u will understand real works taking place. Dat garage was something to admire back den but dese days alas – its a dump! Entering Roseau and seeing dat eye sore welll is pathetic. Madnesss in the place its amazing. Pulling in all kinds of direction with little or no plan………… madnesss in the place
no i have to comment eh! you really mean to tell me that place was not abandoned? I drive by the place a few times since i have been back, but i honestly thought that PWC was relocated and these guys were not done moving everything yet.
This is not me joking, i am dead serious i thought it was abandoned.
sir before u talk public work need new equipment. they repair road the old way. we need to stop patching the road get modern equipment. when Ms Charles was running Dominica public works was looking like some thing after almost 30years those old equipment are tied. need new stuff. public work will make use of $27,000,000 palace money so we wont have to in-port company’s to build road our money will stay in our country.
Who is Blackmoore trying to fool! Don’t play games wid us ras Blackmoore…
Mr Minister
You need to look at the manager. He is doing a lousy job at the head of the PWC. He doesnt know whether he’s coming or going. Get a skilled mechanical individual with
some strong managerial skills and you good to go,
But Mr Minister, if you want PWC to surface, FIRE THE MANAGER, and let him take his girlfriend with him. She is getting a fat salary for doing nothing
Fire de mananger and give you de job?
the most i can say to blackmoore is this –
WHO IS THE ONE WHO WILL GUARD THE GUARD !!!
All LABOURITES are asked to converge under the Financial Center on the morning of December 17 in recognistion of the December 18 ELECTIONS VICTORY to as a means of remindig the UWP that we are solid and should finally accept defeat
Green being bewilered needs a dose of reality.
I am calling on all of our people, all of them, to put on something RED – ALL citizens patriots, women, youth , farmers, workers unemployed. Dominicans we’re calling on you to assemble, to gather, to come out in large numbers on Friday the 17th of December at 10 a.m. in front of the Financial Center. For an Aniversary Gathering. We gan make them wet their pants!!!!

MASH!!!!
Here we go again, signs of retartation showing its ugly head again. What does being a Labourie or UWPrite has to do with people doing the job that they get paid to do. When are people going to go to jail for stealing Government “MATERIAL” and other “SUPPLIES”. We have all heard the stories and some of us have been involved in the BOBOL that have taken place in the pass. It is due time to put a stop to this practice, our resources are limited to begin with let us maximize it for the good of our country, DOMINICA.
you are calling on the “UNEMPLOYED” to come and demonstrate their support for the gang of MILLIONAIRES that keeps them UNEMPLOYED . . . if they come they more donkey than you
Sir
You are a man that is firm.
I truly think that the Public Works Corporation should be merged with another company in Dominica like say Dowasco.
The synergies are obvious to a very large extent. To begin with, there will be one board for the merged entity, a complementary management team to manage common and specialized functions and most importantly significant savings to taxpayers and no more excuses by Dowasco whenever they dig the roads to lay pipes. It will be just another department team that will be doing the road improvements and the total cost will be captured and evaluate in quick time.
We can meet to discuss further on this idea.
I love this idea!! It is so annoying to see the road works guys working tirelessly to pave the roads, only to see a wk later DOWASCO digging up. Absolutely ridiculous!
Brilliance personified in this idea. How do we get such forward thinking ideas to the decision makers? Any article or statement involving the Public Works Corporation in Dominica is a bore. Driving on our roads tells an unfortunate story of a nation and corporation in ruins.
yes put the brakes on them!!!come january 2011 …management of PWC will be even better managed.
Yeah right!! You can fool all the people some of the time, some of the people all the time, but never, never all the people all the time. No lie can live forever!!!We got all you number! We are not buying it..Too little, much to late!
stop holding side !! they all the same.
open up your eyes!
