The Prime Minister will be joining his wife in New York
The Prime Minister will be joining his wife in New York

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit is set to leave Dominica tomorrow, Thursday, October 15th, for approximately 10 days.

The Prime Minister will be traveling to New York to join his wife, Melissa, who is set to give birth to the couple’s second child.

Mrs. Skerrit has been under medical observation in New York for the past six weeks, during which time Prime Minister Skerrit was, for the most part, in Dominica, attending to the traumatic national rescue and reconstruction exercise, occasioned by the passage of Tropical Storm Erika.

While the Prime Minister will be physically out of state, he will nonetheless continue to oversee the reconstruction effort, including maintaining communication with donor agencies and individuals across the Globe.

Minister of National Security, Hon. Rayburn Blackmore will act as Prime Minister in Mr. Skerrit’s absence.

    Dominica is not good enough apparently. It’s the same group of persons who were very caring after Erricka
    But left victims of errika lying down on pmh beds and stuff.
    It’s it about better health institutions or about US citizenship?

    It is safer for you to remain in US and do not come back because if the child falls sick in Da, the helicopter might not make it in time and you will be depriving yourself of becoming a grandfather some day.

    “Comrades!’ he cried. ‘You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself. Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organisation of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink the milk and eat those apples.”

    A A…I just don’t understand some of all you Dominicans. The lady wants to give birth in whatever hospital and country she chooses and that should be her right. She has the money and she is legal, she can choose as she pleases. How about all those who come to the U.S on pretence vacation knowing very well they are pregnant just to have their babies and return right after giving birth? Let the P.M and his wife do their thing . You all are too rude. I’d do the same if I were in their position….Don’t hate. Allyu mammy, aunty, cousin, friend doing it.

    He is having his wife get the best medical care while a mother and her baby just lost her life in
    Stronach ward. Why do you Dominican people support this carnage and wickedness?

    A Prime Minister who hates his country so much that he does not allow his own children to be born in it? What?

    • Wife of an Officer
      October 15, 2015

      Jungle, what terrifies me is that, Dominicans love the PM sooooooooooo much that they fail to see the detrimental impact these behaviors emitted by him are just plain disrespectful firstly to the State and then the People.

      The ones who are so enamored by his charms, are the very ones who are suffering, does not have medical or life insurance and cannot afford overseas medical care. What as a people are we doing for our Children’s future? PM Skerrit’s nest is being upgraded to satisfy and guarantee his offsprings future, but what about the rest of the Dominican polulace? It’s truly sad to see what Dominica has become. The level of Poverty has increased considerably. Look into people’s shopping carts, and very little fruits or vegetables are being purchased. I think Dominicans need to put their children’s future before themselves because these are the ones who will ultimately pay the sacrifice.

      I have nothing personal against Skerrit. I just want a God-fearing leader.

    – You did not tell us when the second one was going to be born in the USA.
    – You did not tell us when you were getting married
    – You did not tell us when you were going to Macau on your last trip in August. etc. etc.

    So what is the new approach about? My own view is you are looking for sympathy from us to deflect some of the heat from the Lap Seng issue and put it in the background. I am sure that you were advised to do this by your Bajan handlers. I don’t think that it is coincidental that one of them has said that the Lap Seng issue will soon fade away.

    3. I observed”While the Prime Minister will be physically out of state, he will nonetheless continue to oversee the reconstruction effort, including maintaining communication with donor agencies and individuals across the Globe.”

    So you will still be working for the state? Is this a private trip or a state trip? Why are you mixing the two? Who is paying for this trip?

    I sincerely wish Melissa a safe delivery!! It is the right and decent thing to do. We, Dominicans, are, by and large a decent people. So I am sure that we all wish Melissa well.

    This does not, however, prevent us from asking questions of the Prime Misnister.

    1. First of all what does your decision to have your baby in the USA say about the state of affairs of the health care system in Dominica that you are responsible for? You obviously have no confidence in the health care at PMH to safely deliver your baby. It is not ironic that just as you were making your announcement a mother perished last night in childbirth at the PMH. Sad!

    So clearly health in Dominica is a function of wealth and if you have money your go overseas but if you don’t then you have to line up at PMH and hope that they have paracetamol in stock. You seem to be happy with this state of affairs.

    2. Since when you telling us where you going and what you going for?

      Let us face it. Time changes and so do men (women). There is always a first time. Be broadminded. Learn to appreciate it and not be critical. Simply wish him and his wife well and the new baby to be. Who knows? The baby may already have been born.

    10 days too short…stay with your wife and rest yourself. Don’t worry with Dominicans.,,they all know that most would go make their babies in America if they could. And many do to….people taking leave since they 4 to 5 months and going with big jackets on ..to hide.

    You a’int going to be PM forever and people will want to cut style on your children by the time they grown so whatever opportunity you have now…take it..and I know women not sout so Mrs. Skerrit will do what she has to do for her children.

    No..she will make it in PMH…for everybody to mind her business and put everything out…when the PM coming ..when he going…how much hours she laboured…if she tear….beff we like.

    I don’t know why people making such a scandal…everybody knows that American Health system is above Dominica…it would be ridiculous not to be. And Dominica is not that bad…yes, there are a few tragedies but most women go in and come out safely. So behave…and let the PM do his…

    First of all, we, the Labourites here in Dominica and Dominican Labourites around the world, would like to wish our beloved Prime Minister a safe journey to and from New York. We further extend our best wishes to our blessed First Lady for a safe and successful* birth of the baby. It is so disheartening to read comments from so-called Dominicans displaying jealousy that their babies cannot be born in the United States. They actually have the gall to demand that the Supreme Leader should have his babies born in Dominica. They ignore the fact that our First Lady is a citizen of the United States and as such deserves the right to have her babies born wherever she pleases. Our cute and precious U.S. born “First Babies” are the pride and joy of loyal Labourites everywhere. They are indeed Dominica’s royal babies, little millionaires at birth. Labourites could not be more proud and happy for our First Family. The Supreme Leader is a very wealthy man. Who vex vex!

    I wonder why not Venezuela or China, but the USA, yes the good old USA, the one they say that is evil, but of course they all want that blue passport and the want their children born there.

    Is that what they call being patriotic? allowing your children to be born in a foreign land and not the land you rule as a prime minister? or maybe that is what what they call hypocrisy.
    That really draws the line between the have and the have nots

    That says a lot about this prime minister.
    Good Luck Dominica and Dominicans

    give birth in NY ? but people ! come on ! ! ! this just means he does not believe himself in his own country ! Could you imagine one second what happened in USA if Obama”s wife gives birth in UK or Germany for each child ?! that would be a serious problem for him, a scandal !… he would have to resign ! do you need more again to see that he DOES NOT BELIEVE in Dominica and Dominicans !?!

    After saddling the country with one thousand two hundred million ($1.2 billion) dollars of debt in 15 years,and without much to show for it, also with an anaemic productive sector, our PM decides that US citizenship for his children is better than Dominican citizenship. This points to a huge lack of confidence in the policies and programs his government has implemented. It points to a lack of faith in the short to medium term prospects for Dominica.In short it points to a lack of confidence in his government. What message is that sending to the youth of the country.It says that PM Skerritt does not believe the hype he is preaching for Dominica nor the region.It is an admission of failure in the health system in the region and on the home front as he does not want his children to inherit the mess he will be leaving behind. So I ask Mr Skerritt who will pay for the huge debt burden you have saddled Dominican people with,when you move your children to the USA as citizens?

      In case you didn’t know. The PM’S wife is a US citizen so no matter where she has the child, it will automatically have US Citizen status bestowed on it. So stop with the nonsense about him choosing one country over another. I am so glad she chose to have her kids overseas so none of you ifiots,will have any beff about the color size and shape of the young lady of how she screamed during childbirth. Stop being jealous of others and wish people well because the evil you wish for others will surely be visited upon you and yours.

    Double talk! On 21 June 2012 Roosevelt Skerrit signed an Alba resolution in Brazil to expel US aid with immediate effect but the U.S good enough for his wife’s and children’s citizenship, good enough for residence, good enough for health care, good enough for U.S. Dollars. and personal investment. He is not running to any Alba country for all that, is he? And I bet hew plans his children to be educated in the same U.S. too. But don’t come and tell us to do one thing and do another yourself. The hypocrisy stinks to high heaven. Now you now why I can not stand that man any longer. Is best he stays in his U.S.A. and don’t come back to lord over us.

    If I were to say I wish mother and father the most turbulent delivery ever, wrought with insufficient supplies, inability to get to the hospital on time, and all sorts of scares about the baby’s health and survival, everyone would surely say I’m wrong.

    But yet….this is EXACTLY what the Skerritts wish on regular Dominicans. Just last week people were calling the radio to talk about the death of a new born when the mom had no complications, death of a recent graduate b/c PMH sent her home without proper treatment for a severe headache, death of a young man for appendicitis! NO response or concern from the Skerrits.

    So I ask the universe to give the Skerritts exactly what they give Dominicans. It is in Roosevelts hands what happens at PMH, and for him to have lied for so many years about improvements to the sector, while failing to do the right thing, I hope he gets a taste of his own potent medicine. Enough with the hypocrisy and double standards!

    It only shows that he will leave his people in the dust while he makes sure that his children are born in the U.S. However, he picked the wrong country, which will come back and affect his family in the future. In 15 years if the globalists continue at the rate that they are ruining the atmosphere with Monsanto chemicals and heavy metals, there will be no sun.

    Is the Prime Minister proud to have two Anchor babies? This is how the Republicans refer to babies whose parents only come to America to give birth. I can understand a young girl who get a visa runs to the U.S to give birth but for the Prime Minister of a country to deliberately have his children outside of the country he loves so much does not look good and blatantly unpatriotic.

    Is it not strange that Skerrit refuse to allow any of his children to be born in Dominica?

    Could it be that our Prime Minister who hate America so much: is not ashamed to chooses this country America he hate so to be the birth place of his children to ensure that his children in the future will be in a position to enjoy the privilege, and security of the United States which most Dominicans will never have the privilege of enjoying!

    This man knows that when he will be finished with Dominica, the damage he will have inflected, it will take more than a hundred years to repair. He said he will reign for fifty years, our ignorant people are anxious to honor him by electing him to the very day he will pack his bags, and leave to America, with his children and wife, leaving the idiots bind. Haven’t you people noticed that all of the elites lawyers, and all have homes in America?

        And me tell you something by children never hesitate when they are ask where their surname originate, to say “my father is from Dominica.” besides they love Dominica a lot more than I do! When my father died I took my eldest daughter home with me, when it was time to leave Makeba decided she wanted to remain in Dominica eh!

        I had to remind that girl that she had a husband to return to, and besides she was ninety days pregnant, and could not remain. In any event my children have no problem whatsoever living in Dominica.

        My late brother children they think the same, one of them planed on building a vacation home there. If my progenies and nieces who were not born in Dominica, wish to live there, why Skerrit Prime minister evades the birth of…

    Confused leader breeds a confused nation..See all the current labour party allies, Anti America, yet all the man Babies are born in America.. As soon as there is no more to benefit from this country Dominica will see the back of this …….for if HE had seen a good future for this land he claims he loves, all his children would have been born here. Clearly there is no viable future once he done with it, and he knows it but instead of tell you that he shows you that..action always speaks louder than words..The confidence of any forward thinking Dominican would have to be broken when our leaders behave like commoners..I BELIEVE that the leader of any country must show to be patriotic and deliberately having their children born outside of that country is major cause for concern..

    The Prime Minister and His lovely wife are making yet another good choice by ensuring that their children are born in the United States of America where medical care is first class and the children have the honour of being called AMERICANS and Not Venezuelan or Chinese or Moroccan.

    Also you cannot expect the Prime Minister’s lovely wife to have their baby in all ill equipped and outdated Princess Margaret Hospital or to carry a passport of the Commonwealth of Dominica when they can get the opportunity to carry a passport of the United States of America.

    I know some of you will be unhappy with my comments but what do you expect me to say… Go make the baby in Venezuela where there is not even toilet paper much less medicine or in China where the level of pollution is so high the child might be at risk getting lung disease or the Morocco in such close proximity to countries affected by Ebola.

      The Prime Minister is not going to the US for medical treatment; it is his pregnant wife, who is there undergoing medical treatment and they wait their new baby. I imagine she goes there, especially if that is where her immediate family is, to stand with her.

      Read again according to the News Article<<<<<"Mrs. Skerrit has been under medical observation in New York for the past six weeks"—Don't you know the difference between "Mrs" and "Mr"?

      Dominicans are blinded by the truth, Skerrit and most of those in his cabal has homes in the United States, from Florida and all over the place. Some of them has purchased their properties in the names of relatives and other people. They are ensuring that when they are kicked out of politics, they will have the good old United States they hate so much to run to and rescue themselves!

      They do not want their children to be born in a backward place such as Dominica where there is no future for the up and coming generation! America is the most powerful, most wealthy country on the planet. So there is a real future for their children here; there is no future on the nature, primitive island. Secondly, the medical and health care system is so damn poor in Dominica, they fear risking death during Child’s berth!

        The P.M’s wife has residential status in the USA? One would think that she was in Goodwill all her life and just suddenly got up and went to the USA to have her child.

        Yes, PMH is definitely of some concern and one is almost frightened to go there, particularly given the events of the past few weeks, but guess what? No politicians diagnose people, or perform surgeries; or deliver babies, or do amputations. Why don’t we also ask the doctors some questions?

        This is the same hospital where all those dedicated doctors no longer in the system functioned and except for human error from time to time there was confidence in the system. What do we have now? A politics infested health system where everyone is a law unto himself/herself from maid to doctor.

        When you listen to some of the doctors with their public pronouncements and attitudes, would you as a politician or citizen like to be at the receiving end of their knives or scalpels?

        I have a niece who last year was beaten senseless, she went to the hospital no less than four times, the incompetent doctors sent her home while she was bleeding internally, she died with been treated and that is what Dominicans has to deal withe very day. it a shame!

        His foundation is already built in America the country he hates.

        You are not good looking physically–not in no way–for one thing you are too short for my liking. But even if I could tolerate that, those worms within you started showing through your physical self as one gets to know you–by your attitude or conduct.

        One thing I know is that you are jealous of our PM, because I said that I love him; you are so obsessed with me, you do not even know how much you are putting that obsession on display for everyone to see.

    Our prayers are with you Hon. PM. As you embark on this long and hectic trip to New York you will need some good books to read and therefore I suggest you hold your bible and read Acts 21, but pace much emphasis on verses 4, 10,11 and 12

    4. And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

    10 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.

    11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

    12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem

    In your case you have to go because your wife is there and she needs your support

      I must say thanks to the Opposition for the pressure they are putting on the PM to be up front with the people of Dominica I support that effort because the PM goes and come and we don’t know about it unless we read it in other countries news papers, that’s why I will always listen to Q95 and their investigating investigator ( Angelo) of the PM where about when he is out of the Island it was always a secret .
      On a personal note I wish his wife the best. of health.

      The PM is not listening to the people instead he’s listening to the non sculls he call consultants and advisers and for that Dominica and Dominicans are suffering, our people cannot depend on the Govt they are not there for them, So I’m calling on my people to start fending for themselves if possible go back to the days when groups of individuals came together and help each other and all it took was someone cooking food and take out to them and life was good back them we as a people have to help each other.,…

    To all my fellow Dominicans, it is not that he should not check on his wife and child, its just why does he not think that the hospital in Dominica is good enough. If this is the case, why not go to one of our sister OECS countries to better the region? Why do we allow for our taxpayers money to be used to pay a person to lead our country, and they go and spend that money in other countries. SIX WEEKS of hospital care is a bit ridiculous as there are very few Dominicans who can afford to do such things, this sends out money right back out instead of being used to develop out healthcare system.

    It is absolute madness that we as Dominicans allow and accept the leader of our country to have his children in a foreign territory. It would be unheard of for the Prime Minister of Antigua, Barbados, Trinidad or St. Vincent to go and have children in a country that isnt their own soil.

    We need to look at what we accept as Dominicans. Because this is one of the things that we should not.

      As a woman I can see the reason the PM’s wife wants to go to the State to have her babies–that is where her family of mother, father, brothers and sisters, including other relatives live–if you are a woman, would you not want that for yourself.

      With her husband as a very busy people–don’t you think that she needs that kind of family attention? And why would her husband deny her that, to force her to have her children in Dominica.

      The PM’s with is definitely an American Citizen, she is qualified to receive all their services–no matter how, when, where, or what–perhaps you all should stop speaking the things which you do not and will never understand.

      What the PM is entitled to, he has the right to make his choice through that entitlement; he cannot be entitled, and to wait for us to choose for him what her must do with his entitlement–that too is stupidity!

    Mr. PM, I must admit that you have me humbled this time by your openness. I mean you are in your eleventh year as PM and this is the first time I have ever heard you give so much detail on your trip. You told us where you going – NY, The purpose of your trip – to join your wife, Melissa, who is set to give birth to second child, and you told us how long you will be out for – 10 days.

    That’s what we call TRUE transparency and I wonder why it had to take so long to be as transparent as you were today What about you has changed? I guess it safe to conclude that your second child to be has really helped you, and I appreciate that.

    My only question is that ten day stay you told us about. I mean your wife has been under medical observation for sis weeks and maybe you might need to stay for way more than 10 days in NY. Is a good thing you told us so all of us could start to pray for you, your wife, baby and off course the duration of your stay.

    I wish Doc. Daroux was acting pm…

      Allow me to remind you that the PM told us that STErika had a good impact on the minds of those like him–I am speaking about the God fearing people in Dominica, and the Caribbean.

      Since he observed it and approved it, we would expect him to show it in his own mentality–shouldn’t he? Well yes, he should, and I am glad to read that one of us, besides me, has confirmed that truth. I am looking forward to see a real man of God, like King David in Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit–this is my prophecy from Holy Spirit–Gods Will be done

      Our PM knows about the many of us, God fearing Dominicans, who pray on his behalf and his role in Dominica, that is the strength, which he has to do his work–this strength of his is the blessings from God and Him alone, through our prayers to Him–may His will be do

      All of my children are born on the island of Antigua, the all have Dominican status, all I have to do is register them, and no can prevent them form going to Dominica any time they wish, an d cannot be deported from Dominica for any reason!

      If she has American citizenship her children no matter where they are born, through her the will enjoy that same privilege. This thing about medical treatment is a lie, an hocks, that is deliberately planed! And for those who are talking crap about cost, how do you all know that she donot have medicare, card which she can present to the hospital, and the American Taxpayers are obligated to pay her bill!

      By the time the child is born, will leave with WICK, where she can go and pick up free milk and other nutritional products for the child,that is mandatory in America! it is from…

    The media is so scared that even Q95 is under the influence of fear since that announcement. In fact even that brave talk show host on Q that usually host “politics” on Tuesdays at 8, had to change it yesterday to “Education” and they were even scared of saying politics.

      Well thanks for telling me–pertaining to your first part.

      But that part here, needs no lament–the finish you speak about is the finish of darkness, futility, wickedness, and evil, which has plagued our people's mind for much, much, too long– all of which was caused by people in their quest for fame and fortune–claiming to be fighting on behalf of a people, who is only a small minority.

      Tropical Storm Erika was the difficulty that God used to start up with us again–I am glad to know that our Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, was the first to notice that Truth; he is the first to show what he believes.

      By the way, for those of you who are speaking what you do not understanding. The PM's Wife is an American citizen, she has the right to choose to have her baby and medical treatment there. It is a personal situation with the PM involved–he is her husband.

Anyone wants the best for their family, so we aren’t faulting the PM for that, the question is why isn’t he providing the same for ALL Dominicans.

      Drs on island have repeatedly said it isn’t about a new building, but a new SYSTEM. The hospitals are frequently without BASIC supplies, we hear about rat and termite infestations at clinics, so of course this isn’t good enough for his wife.

      Let us agree that she might be under medical observation, which I believe to be a lie, and it was too risky to give birth in a substandard, medical intuition such as the PMH. How come she did not go to Cuba, Venezuela or any of the other place where the politicians run to when they are ill.

      Where did Austrie go recently?

      Besides how do you account for two years or so ago when she gave birth to her first son to Skerrit in a New York hospital? Was she under medical observation then? You are all so pitiful, and are ashamed of yourselves: you are compelled to defend Skerrit no matter what he does!

      Dominicans are just a bunch of waste of time people! Skerrit has gouged out your eyes, so that you all will never be in a position to see what he has done to you and the country; in my book I wrote about an evil which lurks over Dominica; I was in doubt, but here and now that is confirmed!

As you said you’ve been living in Canada since 1974.

You claim to not even need anything from Dominica. Many of our relatives have suffered and died at the PMH. I would love to have at least that peace of mind that if I were to fall sick in my own country that there’d be relevant equipment and trained staff to guarantee my return to good health.

        Anonymous; in spite of the back and forth betwee between Elizabeth, and myself its just a matter to see who can insult the other the worst, but in reality somehow we have a sort of friendship going.

        I guess when I get on her nerve she fires insults at me to hurt my feelings, and I return her the same compliments. It is not that she is putting her business out there, she resides in an environment where people express themselves openly, and don’t care.

        Sometimes, I run ff my mouth and say thing that Dominicans may believe should be a secrete, but, such openness is normal in America. Nobody cares you see, they hear you, and did not hear!

        Since you claim that you do not know who I am, who in hell do you think you are to claim to be putting me to the test–what in hells name do you want from me?

        What is your concern about my writing about Jesus; your concern about me responding to Telemaque; your thing about me coming home every five years, which happened in 2008 to 2013?

        Since you claims not to know me, what is your reason for following with my comments–you even know that I have been in Canada since 1974–I did not write that in my response to you.

        But don’t answer me; I am not a fool; you know damn well who I am and I am saying it again, you have done that before–in another blog site as well–you should be ashamed of yourself; I have done nothing wrong against you.

        That statement here speaks like a certain someone– I hope that I am wrong.

        However, it does not matter how much understanding I have–Life and death is in God’s hands–the most perfect hospital with its trained staff cannot keep the Life of no one going when God says his or her time has come to an end.

        And for me personally–if you really know me, you know too that I have tons of relatives at home–you included. We are as healthy as Life can be–at 81 and 82 for my mom and dad to leave their body, cannot be the fault of any hospital.

        If you have chosen to allow negativity to plague your mind that is your choice–I have said nothing against Dominicans if not people like you! So long!

      Kid, is not only displeasing UWP supporters but many labour , freedom and others too. This is not a political thing but disrespect for the people he pretends to care about. You read his new slogan:” To be a leader you have to learn to love the people first!”. That sounds good doesn’t it but it makes me sick to read it because what the practices is totally different. The man is a complete egocentric in my opinion.

      Since after July 2011, you have done nothing else but to tarnish my name, because I refuse to raise your futile mentality. You hit against anyone, you believe to have interacted with me; you impersonate me for self gratification; you speak my personal Life through nasty lies; you disrespect my relationship with God; and you have the nerves to say that there is a base of friendship between us?

      Well I am serious in my responses, for you leave me with no choice. I am NOT in any GAME OF INSULTS with you, I hit back as I must do so. A hell’s angel would not want friendship with a “spit” like you, far more for me!

    Laborites, PLEASE PLEASE explain your thought process here. You have Austrie in the French isles, Skerrit & wife in US, President on US Navy ship all seeking better healthcare than the death trap in Dominica. So how do you reconcile this with the very same PM, Austrie, and President standing behind lie after lie, attack after attack of doctors who are demanding better for their patients?

    The PM said groundbreaking for new hospital in 2012,2013, 2014, July 2015 and he doesn’t even feel awkward turning around years and months later to tell you he is going to visit his wife having medical treatment in the US? Seriously? The Cuban doctors he brought in wasn’t good enough for the ministers but they are good enough for the poor people of Dominica?

    Come on, people. This isn’t personal! This is about a system that is KILLING people and you all are here talking about “God bless you PM”. So God shouldn’t bless the regular man who wants proper medical care too??

    Why be so opaque. Mr. Skerrit will go from New York to Singapore where he is scheduled to attend and address a Citizenship by Investment and International Residence Summit at the Raffles Hotel from 26 Oct.-27 Oct., organised by our Citizenship partner CS Global. Depending on circumstances I would also expect him to call on his contacts in nearby Kuala Lumpur. Given that the summit does not end till 5 pm on 27 Oct.. I can’t see him back in Dominica till 29 Oct. at the earliest, if he does not stop in new York on the way back.

    Why is she not at the Princess Margaret Hospital – why New York? Is it because that due to the sale of passports in Dominica that she knows that her children will not likely qualify for a Visa to the US – or anywhere else? That they will have to be US citizens to travel.

        She is an American citizen, however Skerrit is the Prime Minister of Dominica, how about that!

        If she is an American citizen, her children are born out of America automatically have American citizen Status. There is someone in the US senate right now born in Canada, and has American citizenship due to his mother is an American.

      • Tjebe fort

    • Francisco Telemaque
      October 14, 2015

      She is not there because she and Skerrit knows that anyone who goes there for treatment life hangs in a balance. They are usually suspended between life and death, and 99,999% of the time the balance falls in the direction of death!

      They do not come out alive!

        October 15, 2015

        We have to agree that our health care system needs ALOT of work..and yes that is something that our government needs to seriously work on. But until then, everyone wants whats best for his/her family and if he see it fit that this is the best option right now then so be it. ALOT of Dominicans leave Dominica to make their children overseas. And in the long run, there are alot more benefits for this child being born in the US. I see it as just paving a good path for him.

    If Michelle Obama chose to have her baby in London, UK, the US general public would be asking. Therefore, we should be asking that of Mr. & Mrs. Skerrit.
