Deputy General Manager of PDV Caribe Dominica Paul Moses has admitted that it wasn’t easy to get the company off the ground.“We have constructed six gas stations around Dominica. PetroCaribe have invested in excess of one million dollars and all that is to help in the social project and fishing industry. Fishermen now have more money in their pockets because they don’t have to go far to get fuel. It is now readily available,” he explained.
Pinard said further that the company has also contributed to the social development in Dominica.
“We are making available a free cylinder to each of the centenarian in Dominica and also under the Yes We Care program. So far we have 17 centenarians and well over 130 under the yes we care, totaling over $3000 every month,” he said.
The refurbishment of the Portsmouth Waterfront, the construction of Petro Cassa houses and infrastructural development are among other areas of investment undertaken by Petro Caribe.
According to Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Housing and Lands Ivor Stevenson, Petro Caribe has delivered on its promise to be an independent and active development partner to Dominica.
“Be reassured that Petro Caribe is here to stay,” he said.
He said plans have been devised for the long term viability of the company.
Among them, according to Stevenson, is the erection of a river defense wall along the southern perimeter of the plant.
DOMLEC received the “Biggest Client” award, while the Fond St Jean Fisheries Cooperative was awarded for their outstanding performance over the years.
Disban this nonsense prices not dropping at the pump, Dominicans feeling the squeeze.
Not one comment? I wonder what this says ?
We are hearing all the little good Petro Caribe is doing but we have no idea of the real aggrement,We do have to pay back and we are buying at international prices. arent we?
Mr. Carbon,now that you have given us the great news about Petro Caribe,to which we would like to say thank you. But according to the agreement between Dominica and Venezuela,Petro Caribe operates under 60/40 percent tranaction. We would like to know what is the debt owed to Venezuela.Did you forget to make mention of that report in your speech or is it a case of, none of your darm business, how much money we owe Venzuela.
yes mary, thats why u wasnt at work yesterday. we missed ya. u were too busy taking pictures. u go gurllll. One love
Petro Caribe, why is it that you have never contributed to the community of Simon Bolivar in the construction of a Petro Cassas resource centre to help the young ones of Simon Bolivar, or even help in putting up some facility at the Children’s playground? Why haven’t you all contact someone in Simon Bolivar to get things moving there? You must remember this is the first Venezuelan community being named by your Liberator, SIMON BOLIVAR. JUST TALK, TALK, FAND NOTHING HAPPENING.
Yes, it’s Frabo again. I love to read just to pick the meat from the bones. Look some bones: “Fishermen have more money in their pockets because they don’t have to go far to get fuel.” I called two fishermen and asked them whether it was so; and they told me “it’s not true.”
Jealousy is a bad disease, heal urself and come again!!!!
Did you speak to fishermen from Pond St.Jean? Or Scottshead? Try that please.
