The government of Dominica is paying some $96,000 for a one-year contract to a consultant who will be rendering ‘Public Relations and Information Management Services’, a document obtained by Dominica News Online has revealed.
The agreement between Charles Jong and the government of Dominica is in effect from November 1, 2013 to October 31, 2014.
According to the document Jong is “to coordinate the activities leading to the implementation of an Information Management System of which the Consultant has represented that he has the requisite professional skills and competencies and the technical resources to render efficiently the services required on the terms set out in this Agreement.”
“The Government agrees to pay the Consultant the total contract price of Eastern Caribbean dollars $96,000.00 payable in twelve (12) monthly payments in arrears at the rate of $8,000,” the document reads.
The contract was signed by Steve Ferrol, secretary of the cabinet, on behalf of the government and Jong.
The document put to rest the question of who actually pays Jong and who he was working for.
Recently Jong was the center of drama in parliament between MP for Marigot, Edison James and speaker of the house, Alix Boyd-Knights, after he was described as a “stranger in the house.”
James demanded to know who he was and eventually Boyd-Knights stated he worked with GIS and ruled that the matter be put to rest.
When James asked for more information, the speaker said her ruling was final.
When contacted Jong said he was not prepared to comment on parliamentary proceedings since he is not a member of the house.
A public profile on website, Linkedin.com, describes him as a Communications Consultant for Government of Dominica, a Marketing and Communications Consultant for the Barbados Labour Party, a Committee Member at St. Kitts Music Festival Marketing Committee and a Communications Consultant at Office of the Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis.
The site also said he “has worked and continues to work in a significant number of election campaigns in the English speaking Caribbean (St. Kitts, Nevis, Dominica, Grenada, St. Vincent, Barbados, Cayman Islands).”
The man ready to secure his Dominican passport as soon as he hit office… Look a backward (female donkey) country…
96k is not a lot of money. Considering the qualification, job and requirements, it’s probably slightly below or about the going rate. I cannot speak for all of Dominica but I currently earn more than that amount. People do not understand the hard work it takes prior to being qualified to do certain jobs. We need to travel more, make sure our kids go to school and increase their chances of higher level education. Then you will understand that 96k ec is definitely not unachievable. Dominica is very far behind in terms of professionalism and structure in terms of qualifications and companies with financial muscle. But even in dominica I have many friends who earn more than that amount (and please don’t come to me with politics because these people, including myself have studied for over 13years, and worked since we were 16). All I am saying is, stop looking at everything everyone is doing and get that “go get it” attitude and you can do it. We can build a great country regardless of the government. We just have to come together and work hard. Politicians will do what they do. But in terms of this salary it seems fair. I guess my criticism is, why not a qualified Dominican? But then again, if a Dominican had that role, we would criticise from a different angle. It is just what we do in Dominica. We talk a lot of talk, but we do not really know how to walk. We do not work hard. 930-530 if the employer is lucky. No Sundays and no evenings. Maybe if we worked harder and took slightly more risk in terms of business ideas we would all earn >96k. You think any if these politicians really care about every single individual on this island? If they love us so much, why don’t they come together and unite for the greater good of our country? We just exchange bad for worse. We have to build our country. Capitalism
#Unity, no politics
dominicans stop crying, this nothing new.. remember a politican was given half a million to assist him with his business from the treasury, well infact it was to pay for
a certain party radio usage bill…
so because someone else did it that makes it right? this is what we have to end!
there is none so blind as he who will not see.
Dlp is eyeing a march 2015 election and is using all kinds of strategies to stop the inevitable loss at the polls. Dlp has crooks among themselves and that is why i know a lot of their secrets.
Alas, alas we are paying a foreigner 96 000 and our own people are crying. Teachers are not being paid, vendors are crying, civil servants not getting an increase, yet we are paying this man 96 000. Alas, Dominicans wake up nub, we feeling it but we fraud to talk, time for that Government to go we are hurting and crying in Dominica. Alas, papa Bandai what is wrong with Dominicans.
change is a must!!!! not an option is high time our own are respected and lifted high!!
Being a vendor, does one expect a cheque from the Govt’s. treasury at month end?
I wonder what this guy does, if a local Dominican couldn’t do that same job. 8 grans a month?
Poor Daryl Titire..! Wish you could be making that money ehhh. Wonder what do you have to say about this …!
Can someone find out how much the press attaché is getting paid.. thanks..!
$96,000 could pave some roads in Picard which is the economic capital of dominica. Have anyone seen the condition of the roads in picard? Some students have to walk with rubber boots when it rains.
It is standard procedure that before tax payers money is spent,or before government enters into contract with individuals and organizations, that the government’s intentions are presented to the public.For example, before DEXIA imports rice or sugar the information is placed in the local newspapers and also the government gazette.
Note that the government does not have to select the lowest bidder,but the process is open and above board.So how can the Skerrit led administration hire a communications consultant to do work for the government and the country,yet the people,the opposition,the speaker of the house,not even the president knew of it before hand?.Boy I tell you the country is run like these lawless African nations.PM sketritt has instituted his new level,his new order of doing things.Just look at some of the countries he is in bed with in the international community and you have an idea of what kind of governance we have.Tell me who your friends are and I’ll tell you who you are.
I know most law abiding Dominicans yearn for a return to honest governance,that’s why change is a must.We are fed up with this corrupted government which loves to opperate in the dark.
In the fight for a just cause David will still slay Goliath.
We just all have to play our part and do a little extra.
Change is a must.
Papa God!! This is poor people VAT money!! Tell DLP pay this man from their pocket NOT the public purse, PLEASE!!!
Hospital has no plasters much less for syringes; Farmers cannot get assistance to plant or make a dollar; The village roads and feeder roads going to hell, and government finding $90,000.00 to pay for crap? Pay the money out of DLP pocket NOT OUR VAT money ..please. don’t take the little fig off our table!!
That’s why there is a lot of propaganda going on the govt side reference the campaign to election Dominicans open our eyes we watching
Dominican step up do the work get the pay. Stand firm lobby govenment office any one of you that can do the job. I will be in line with you because you can do it. Let us refuse to allow this man to take up post. Sac Sort.
What are u talking about, didn’t u read that he took up his post as of Nov. 1st. 2013?
I swear any outsider looking at most of these comments can see how foolish and baseless they are. People make sensible statements..think before you write and make meaningful contributions- whether you for or against. Departmental Managers make $8,000 and more a month in Dominica…General Managers make up to $25,000 and alot more a month for their professional expertise… and not in the private sector only. Some of you all just sound plain ridiculous. Stupes!!
I am not sure how much good he is doing but if he is doing his job and a good job, then he deserves his salary. There are times we need help and the point of view of an outside source.
Also keep in mind that the salary is that of a consultant and not a regular paying job.
I live in London and was listening to QFM last night and a woman by the name of Joan called to talk about the state of some bridge in Wotton Waven area, I think.
Her plea brought tears to my eye. On the other end of the scale we have the government paying this Jong man $8000 a month for consultancy work.
These two stories are at the extreme opposite ends and I think it gives a great snap shot of what Dominica is all about right now.
The minority haves and the majority have nothing.
I rest my case
If everybody knew that the government were paying “qualified individuals” so handsomely alot of people would have made it their priority to finish school or study abroad. Nonesense! $8000.00 a month could contribute to so many little things that would uplift this country. *Smh*
While I believe every person is entitled to their opinions, some people should really think about the contributions they make. I mean really.
I am not very much political but what I have seen in Dominica is this: Everyone minds every other person’s business but their own.
Charles Jong was hired to do a specific job, who cares how much he makes for a job he is capable of doing…
I have to question the person’s motive for making his contract public. Why? What does it benefit you?
People get a life already and stop with all the propaganda! Most people in Dominica would love a salary of 90K but how about motivating yourselves to do a job!
Life is not for free!
You could have fooled me! Not political you say? We’ll if you are not then I don’t know who is. I would like you to tell me what exactly is that job this individual is doing and who else in Dominica is earning that kind of pay for the work they do?
Whne you work for Government or Government signs a contract with anyone or country THAT is public information
you are an idiot, he should be paid by the labour party and not our tresury money… sort
Are you for real? How much do you make? A mere pittance
Are you for real? I bet you make a mere pittance.
Well Well Well, last night a woman from Laudat brought tears to my eyes when she called QFM about not being able to make a little money because the area has not gotten help.
Now this guy Jong is getting paid as a consultant. Just for those who don’t know, that is a lot of money for someone who does not work 9-5.
Here’s the thing, we can all be sure that the elections wool only be called after this guy contact is up. That’s a certainty.
I feel sorry for my country and it’s people. I hope you guys take a god look at life and effect change.I want to come back home to contribute but only will do so with change . Let’s make it happen
Moderator: Mr Fast N Furious, what do you think about the Charles Jong 96,000 matter?
Fast N Furious: I love my pm wee. he give us free bus, red clinic , cooking gas , plywood and latrines
This whole thing strikes me as extremely shady and desperate. Skerritt should be held accountable for this deal, plus this is a another nail on the coffin of the DLP. Should UWP win, and I see no reason unless D/a slides into dictatorial tyranny, the government should file suit against Jong to retrieve those funds. The contract would have been seen as illegal, since it is tantamount to theft of public funds – The job was not advertised to local/other Caribbean consultants, some of whom I know to be just as qualified as Mr. Jong, but most of all (BLOOD BOILING), IT CAME OUT THE PUBLIC PURSE!!! Not OUT OF ONE OF THE CHINESE ESTABLISHED TRUST FUNDS FOR TOP LABOR PARTY ECHELON WHEN TIME FOR FLIGHT COMES!!!
Hard working civil servants cannot get a decent salary increase…The last decent salary increase was under the UWP. From the time this labour administration came into power salary was first cut by 5% and since then is 0%, 0%, 1% 1% 0%. Yet the PM can find money in these hard time to employ this guy. He already has Daryl Titre, the Ambassador,GIS,DBS, Kairi, The Chronicle and even Marpin. But we are looking on …. because all these together cannot revert the swing of the UWP. Change must come and we will finally get deliverance!!!!
The Civil Servants get more than they deserve. Has anyone ever had a civil servant return a call. Most times you ring for an individual the answer you get is ‘they have just stepped out’. They are so incompetent and unwilling to change or improve, thinking they have a job for life, so therefore all they have to do is turn up for work, and then dissappear and refuse to produce an honest days work for an honest day’s pay. So I really do not have much sympathy for civil servant.
So, in reality, this guy is collecting eight ($8,000.00) thousand taxpayers dollars per month, for some crap that is not necessary; such are the nature of the beasts in our country, anything to facilitate, and accommodate all those who have selected Dominica to provide them with an free lunch knows how to get in touch with some poppet and rip us off, and take off with their pocket filled.
Funny; we have Dominicans living in Europe, Canada, and the United States, and I am sure some residing on some Caribbean island, who can do precisely what these people are getting paid for, and who have offered their services to our country, and never got a response from the government.
I know a Dominican living in England, he is from a village in the South of Dominica, this man has been an Scotland Yard Detective for years, I believe he is retired at the moment, he was willing to contribute his knowledge of investigating crimes, and consulting and perhaps training the incompetent police force we have in Dominica, on how to solve crimes.
They did not even have the courtesy to give the man a try, say even a year contract to see if he could bring some change within the ranks of our police department.
I even wrote a letter to my very own cousin Gloria Dods Shillingford, in regards of that gentleman, I neither heard from her on that matter; and though I gave her an E-mail address of the gentleman, she did not even drop the man a line thanking him for his interest in his country, and perhaps letting him know that she has no power to deal with such matters, nothing!
I would that since she is big government minister, she has a government computer in her office, and has access to the Internet, unless we are so backwards, and communications are transmitted via drums, and smoke in Dominica in the twenty-first century!
What a place!
Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
Another consultant !!!!
Hard working Dominicans aren’t getting paid even with salaries bellow $1000.oo EC a month and we are getting another consultant?
Seriously, this is ridiculously getting out of hand.
It’s time all this nonsense change.
isnt this amazing?
The labour party have the
public purse
the police comissioner
THE atturney general
the speaker of the house
the president

KAIRI fm
marpin

DA vibes
THE chronicle news paper
bogus ambasadors in the forein under false pretence
and many more ,
Charles jong
and still the UWP is drastically making headway,
can you see my GOD IS ALIVE?
dominicans, YOU ARE DOING VERY WELL
if WE MAKE THIS MISTAKE AND RE EMPLOY THIS GOVERNMENT , THIS MIGHT BE OUR LAST SUPPER
remember I SAY YOUR LAST SUPPER , why
BECAUSE ,COMING EVENTS CASTS SHADOWS,
LOOK WELL AND YOU WILL SEE THEM
I am well aware that there are people at senior level position in government who would like to speak out or even call the bluff but are really concerned about victimization. Now I aso believe that there are times when these people must do a better job communicating with the Publc so much so that they protect themselves from being labeled as totally dishonest and even more so called Religous hypocrites.
Steve Ferrol had the opportunity to at least get off this filthy avenue by telling John Baptist the truth. He was the one who signed the contract yet he pretended that he knew nothing and referred the matter to Titre knowing that Titre knew nothing.
How do these men raise their hands in church.
Dominica be ware. Be very aware. You don’t know what you are getting into. Be aware Dominica.
What we all seem to be missing is that he is not a full time employee and he gets paid monthly. So he could sit in St Kitts working for the government of Denzel Douglas, he works for the festival committee in St Kitts and works for other election campaign elsewhere.
Here you go Dominicans just another reason why this criminal enterprise must go.
If he does good job who cares , some people go to work sit in the same office day after day doing the bare minimum and they get a salary at the end of it , and no one complains .
so while we natives of Dominica here dying hungry and looking for work all kinda man just coming to collect and leave!!! this skerrit must be extracted!!!
That salary doesn’t seem so large to me… you can’t compare a qualified and experienced person with the average public servant. By the this is really low payment, the salary he’s used to could be 2 or 3 times as large. 8000 a month for one year, so what? What about next year? Contract and freelance workers don’t know where the next dollar coming from.
Because Charlie Jong is not a full time employee. This is just a camouflage – he is just another Gestapo for the labor party that is on the back of tax payers- just like people like Aaron, Nanthan etc.
What does “twelve monthly payments in arrears mean?”..have never seen that in a cbntract…help me please..
I assume it means u get paid at the end ofthe month…. after u do the work not before
Payable in twelve monthly payments. In arrears of that would be $8,000.00
guess u never seen a contract…. it means at the end of the month , as opposed to in advance……
coordinate activities leading to the implementation of an Information Management System!!!! Talk is cheap.. For which departments because you have ASCUDO running at de port, you have AIMS (Ag. Info Management System) running in de Ministry of Ag…, you have on line registration running within the Ministry of legal affairs.. So what cover up smoke JD is that for a contract…
Didn’t you know it’s all a part of the next level you voted for? Wait till the next five years if you vote them in again. Such is the plight of our people. Only in Dominica.
Daryl you are out and you do not even know a stranger in the house is being considered more than you, when you will l be kicked out when UWP comes in office he will be walking out with the balance of his contract money and you will be left cranana.Be careful how you treat people especially when they have made significiant contribution to the state.
wow! well Labour win the next elections…….smh…this dude seems to be everything and can do all things except that he is NOT God….lets see him stem the tide of the winds of change that is blowing all over Dominica…Change is a must Not an option!!
You again. Do you have any understanding of these matters yet you continue to speak sar raison.
Hey asterisk get another name please. It appears that you are an imposter
Will Dominicans ever remain ignorant of what is happening in the world. I am curious as to why this guy only work in the caribbean when in America he would get more money. I hope his degrees are REAL . Certificates can be bought on the internet. I am suspicious.
Yesterday on American news this basketball couch falsified his papers and worked with a school for a long time. TAKE HEED.
Parry, I would take issue with the appointment of Charlie Jong. I would tell the Prime Minister that Mrs Tania Green, Mr. Mervin Paul and Mr. Darrel Titre are all Dominicans and should be considered before anyone else. In fact, Mr. Titre has a University Degree in Communication. I would also tell him that I, Parry, has years of experience as a Consultant and Communicator.
If he is the reason why the standards at GIS are at international level then I say well done!!!! The man well-qualified wi. I thought Daryl Titre’s degree was in Architecture
So if this person was a dominican , the salary would not be an issue.
Consultant fees are expensive! That fee seems marginal!
wow i thought skerrit said the country dont have money.
you cant pay the poor people who clean the road side, public servants you give almost 0 percent and you paying one man $8000 monthly for what sir, something we have people in this country in your own GIS can do. SHAME SHAME SHAME you just lost 10 more votes
I am not a supporter of the DLP, I hope BogoRoy might not tell me to keep my feelings to myself. Nevertheless, I feel for Tania Green and Mervin Paul. These two individuals have really worked hard over the years. I believe they were not treated right by the Skeritt led Labor Party Government. Oh, by the way, Mervin, you can get back at them, the UWP has a vacancy in the Cottage Constituency, maybe you should consider being that candidate. If Tim, Tim can do it, you can also do it.
Joke you making man? Who and who for what?
The UWP supporters will oppose his work. That’s all they ever do. oppose good. The man has been performing his duties at the GIS in a very efficient and effective manner. I wonder if many of you are aware of his duties. He should be paid more. 25% of his salary already goes to the state. So what is the stress.
Wow all that money for one person Jong you need to share .. Am single and looking for a cute … I’ll add you on linkin
lol lol
Labour taking Dominica to the next level of poverty and begging . .skerro all the way!
90000 for one person and so much people unemployed smh change is really a must
qualifications =$$$
No, connections=$$$
the labourites will tell you we love our P M wee
Ask Lennox how much he got when he went to St. Lucia and St. Kitts to campaign for them. I assume that he would have worked with Jong in St. Kitts while campaigning for Denzel Douglas during the last election.
Have you heard Lennox make any negative comment about the man? He is Jong’s friend.
“Ask Lennox how much he got when he went to St. Lucia and St. Kitts to campaign for them.”
We need an applause emoticon for this one. Thumbs up just eh cutting it.
DNO you really good papa. Selectively choosing comments sympathetic to the opposition and digging up all kind of stories to create controversy. UWP must be paying you well. Wonder if you will release your contract with them as Jong’s own has been made public??
Nice one!!
In truth, though, DNO has become more and more obvious in recent months. I suspect that by the time the general election campaigns are in full bloom, DNO would have become a Q95 or a Kairi FM.
Well Played Mr.Skeritt… Too many of them DOH CARE is Red They Red, suck it to them, Pierro said they wear their ignorance on their sleeve as a badge of honor and no matter what they say about you, you my brother is smarter than all of them, you know life short and your political life is even shorter, so you are making sure that when your time comes to leave (and thats soon, just so you know) you will be well set for life, with Money and influential friends throughout the region. Cant blame you for being ambitious our parents taught us to be, cant blame you for not having integrity, I learned that from my father ( you didn’t have one) can’t fault you for not having compassion, I learned that from my mother (yours was in Guadeloupe) so in the grand scheme of thing, everyone should know that you are a man who lack integrity and compassion, yet they invested their children’s future into your hands, so who do I blame for all this? certainly not you… Help yourself, eat your food, fill your pocket, enjoy the ride…. They TOO RED TO SEE.
COMMENT OF THE YEAR!!!!
If Skerrit and the DLP wins the next election I going to follow Skerrit’s own example and apply for a foreign passport too and give birth to my children in foreign land because I would agree with Skerrit that Dominicans are too stupid to carry that same passport and for my child to hold that same nationality
The DLP government displays a bullying behaviour with lack of respect and lack of accountability. Shame on the government. Why? Why? Why?
Take Dat Laybarites take dat 96,000.00 for charlie jong and toilette for all u, good for all you.
Was there an open competition or this job and if so, in which Dominican newspaper was it posted and when?
AND WE CAN’T WORK!!! WAOO KEEP IT up SKERRO. ONE Day…all DICTATORS MUST FALL BUT I want you to PAY when that day comes!!!
You mean there’s NOBODY in Dominica that can do what mister doing???
Sure if is a local they would pay 4 times less for the same work. waooooo VOTE SKERRIT NEXT ELLECTION AGAIN
YOU ALL should be ASHAMED to wear RED!!!
Relax, doh burst a vein. Have some coconut water and chill. Your shadow Finance minister wanted more than that some years ago when it was suggested that he serve in Dominica. So, throw out the hypocrisy and the ignorance and bring in a bottle of chilled coconut water.
When is the day for red clinic again? lol I know you on that bobo list!! Try to answer all comments against labour, hahaha…try lol
THAT DAY COMING! I DO WANT NO PM THAT HIS CHILD CAN’T BE BORN IN OUR LAND!!! THE SAME USA HE AGAINST!!
HMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm lol
revisit may 29th it will give you all a broad picture
US35,334.38 dollars and so much Dominicans cannot pay there bills, Aye las skerro u wicked.
Tell Dominicans to qualify themselves to be considered for the position. Doh blame de man for getting paid for his qualifications…
GO OUT AND QUALIFY YOURSELVES! That should be your concern
oh shut up , do you know how many qualified person s there are in dominica ? bet you don’t , because you are not one .
I keep telling you all about PJ, this is the same thing
this is what dominica voted for.take it and shut up
Correction I meant public servants.
Dear dca news online, the culprit(your source) who provided you with the man’s contract will be punished, this is illegal activity whether is blue or red wrong is wrong! There are a lot of civil servants who have no respect for the government service and what it stands for.
96000 divided by 12 months is equal to 8000 per Month. The average cost for a media based consultancy in the region is well over 225 k a year i.e 129k less than what he is getting.
Fine but the issue is wat is the purpose of his employment.. is it really necessary to have this man employed here?
The pm could not give public 1% increase but he can this man a huge salery , what a shame.
boy i will have to be a communications consultant wi boy! that way i can choose to retire in 5 years time! geez i could do with that money wi! ill have to go red clinic man?
Please take a look at this link: http://www.linkedin.com/in/charlesjong
I am concerned about his specialties… “High tech Communications”.
This to me means that no conversation, via cell phones, land lines, or one on one is safe. Mark my word.
All I see from that linked in post is he is very experienced in his field.
Sounds like a plumber to me…
I wonder if Dominicans know this is a cheap way of getting a serious foothold in our country… The first and Second World War were run on communications designed for spying on enemies, now it is the nation… The Chinese are experts in this, they teaching Skerro the old trucks and taking over bus country under his nose, so even when the next government comes in they got it sewn up … They will be running our country with an invisible hand and from a distance… Anybody on this thread studied the history and politics of China, especially their relations with their Mongolian neighbours… The only thing that will stop this mess is if the people themselves take a stand or Waitikubuli herself has a Divine volcanic erruptuin in deh Muddah ass!…
fellow Dominican pleas wake up and open your eyes.. Skerrir making a fool of us.. He is butter bread and butterin other peoples mouth while Dominicans have to beg for bread.. is this the leadership we want for the next 5 year….
Can you all see who the man creating employment for? He boasting on road he built but how many Dominicans were employed on the Roseau/ Pmouth road? How many Chinese? What about the Windsor Park? How many nationals were employed and how many Chinese? The State Palace: How many Nationals verses how many Chinese? Who is paying those bills? You do the maths and answer these logical questions your political glasses on and tell me what you think
Why wasn’t it published before the situation in parliament? It Now sounds like a Cover up. My opinion. .. he could be more than just a so called Communications Consultant.
Was this vacancy advertised?
The contract was signed by Steve Ferrol, secretary of the cabinet, on behalf of the government and Jong.
The document put to rest the question of who actually pays Jong and who he was working for.
How much more can we take? Here is a government that cannot create employment for nationals, yet Skerrit is able to pay another foreigner $96,000.00 for service, plus housing accommodation, transportation, and other incentives. I wonder if Steve Ferrol himself is making that much money? Skerrit is taking our money to pay these foreigners while most Dominicans have to depend on the Red Clinic to eat a piece of dry bread and all he can talk about is our pit latrine? OMG! Fellow Dominicans, this is not about DLP , DFP or UWP. It is about our bread and butter. Let’s open our eyes before it is too late
I live in The UK born of Domincan parents
I think it’s appalling the way the Chinese are moving in slowly to take over what they can
If you look at history and prophecy it’s all there
They see themselves as a super power
Dominicans must wake up and preserve this beauty of a country the vot is in your hand
The government are pleasing themselves and lining their pockets and letting the people of Dominca suffer
It’s sad.
I agree concerned, they have no knowledge if the demon they are getting into bed with… Do some research my people on the history and politics of China, see for yourselves who they really are, the reason why their own country is barren.. The historical rocky relationship with their Mongolian neighbors… This is a state of emergency!… Wake up DA people!…
Thats the best that scarce resources can be put to? And then you all complain that there is no money to undertake essential services. Or is this just a smoke screen when the individual works for the party and gets paid by the state?
Of course it is a smokescreen and that is what makes it such an unconscionable waste. How can a man be brought in to our country to perform acts in this election year at taxpayers expense? Disgusting.
DNO, you removed the adjective I placed before the word “acts”. I won’t fault you for that. However, you should have probably inserted a few dots to replace that word so that the readers are aware a word was deleted.
“to perform ………acts”
The worst thing is that he is being paid by the Govt. when he is clearly working for a political party. To me that the same as misappropriation.
Magwe sa!
Go skerro suck them dry damn idiots in this country.
Anonymous what more do you want to hear? He is a Communications Consultant for Government of Dominica, a Marketing and Communications Consultant for the Barbados Labour Party, a Committee Member at St. Kitts Music Festival Marketing Committee and a Communications Consultant at Office of the Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis.
What is your beef.
In short he is a propagandist hired to do damage limitation for skerritt but the tax payers of Dominica are picking up the tab. All I’ll say to you and others is that Trinidad didn’t get to where it is crime wise over night, it was a gradual process, a process which started with tolerating little episodes of malfeasance.
Smart guy got contract for one year so govt. stiil has to pay him if he leaves early….as he will!
U can’t be serious! That is Money we can use to pay the UN maybe? Or money we can use to give the welfare department to help protect our children, maybe? Money to hire more magistrates to prosecute the lowlifes in this country maybe? Or is that too much to ask of our government? Instead let’s just give this cold dry cash to someone for political mileage!!! I tee Dominique ca la!
I smell a rat. much is not said of his past performance, and history in that particular field, I think he is taking us the people of Dominica on a wild ride, buckle up people.
How much do you know, or even care to know, about the “past performance and history” of your Great White Hope leader in the area of governing, or even managing a business place for that matter?
Lol! U people are so full of it.
Sounds like you are the one full of it, Bogoroy.
