Kamala Jno Baptiste-Aaron ends stint as Gov’t Press Secretary

Jno Baptiste-Aaron will not be renewing her contract

Press Secretary Kamala Jno Baptiste-Aaron has said that she will not renew her contract when it ends on March 15, 2018.

She said she has made it known to the government that she will not seek to renew the contract.

“I have given notice to the Government of Dominica of my intention not to seek renewal of my contract effective March 15, 2018,” she said. “This means I will no longer be at your service in the capacity of Government Press Secretary.”

She thanked Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit for giving the “distinct honor to serve his government since March, 2016.”

“I have also thanked the Secretary to the Cabinet for allowing me various opportunities to serve the State,” Jno Baptiste-Aaron stated. “During those nearly two years as Press Secretary, I had the pleasure of working with many people within the public service; and that gave me an up-close view of their dedication to serving the people of Dominica, starting with the exceptional staff of the Office of the Prime Minister. I also enjoyed an extremely close working relationship with the Ministry of Health and the Environment, so much so that the Minister Honourable Dr. Kenneth Darroux often referred to me as an “honorary member of staff” of his ministry.”

She said that she is grateful “for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work as Government Press Secretary, it is service from a vantage point that few experience.”

Jno Baptiste-Aaron also thanked the media for its cooperation during her stint.

“I wish every one of you the very best going forward,” she noted.

    Don’t worry Trump will deport all them Dominicans who running to the states and those other islands will send all you back to rebuild Dominica. Dominicans are the only people in the caribbean to curse their island. Especially for the UWP People , they are wicked fools.

    I stay tuned to the big station and don’t recall her having an interview there. I was not sure there was a press secretary. I hope that whoever replaces her does interviews with Q so that many more will know what the government doing.

  12. Y U running 4?
    February 20, 2018

    It’s a running trend in Dominica these days with the key supporters of Skerrit. They running one after the other, though they try to convince the poor that Skerrit’ going to build the first resilient country in the world. First it was the legally first lady, then according to Tony after Maria, his wife and son in their Florida home, now it appears that Kamala is on her way out too? Is honey on his way out as well? But that’s ok because all made enough money and don’t even have to work abroad. Let those poor blind laborites stay in the mess they helped Skerrit make for them. He too will soon run

  13. Y U running 4?
    February 20, 2018

    Thank you but no thank you Kamala? You running from the Dominica you love man? Why are you running and where you running too? Well I don’t blame you because the PM’s wife took her children and ran long time ago, so why should you stay?

These people are fly by nights opportunists and they feel good, for themselves, they benefit, Not Our ailing Dominica.
