Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, has held a discussion with the vice president of Ghana, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, on cooperation between Dominica and the African country. The two men met at the Jubilee House, the presidential palace that serves as a residence and office to the President of Ghana, in the country’s capital Accra on Wednesday afternoon.
They spoke on issues that would be of mutual benefit to both countries, according to reports coming out of Ghana.
Bawumia wrote of the meeting on his official page on X, formerly Twitter, where he misidentified Dominica as the Dominican Republic twice.
“This afternoon, I welcomed, to the Jubilee House, H. E. @SkerritR, Prime Minister of Dominica, who called on me, for a mutually-beneficial discussion between our two countries,” he wrote on Wednesday.
He said deliberation focused on many areas such as the importance of a renewable energy mix, as well as strengthening strong cultural, tourism, economic, and diplomatic ties between the two countries.
“To ensure effective exchanges in the areas identified, we also discussed the need to ensure affordable, reliable and accessible aviation network between Ghana and Dominica, and between other African countries, and the Caribbean,” the vice president wrote.
Ghana is located on the west coast of Africa and is said to be one of the most stable and democratic countries on that part of the continent. In 2023, its estimated population stood at 33,846,114.
Although English is the official language, there is a myriad of tribes in the country that have their own languages.
There has been no word yet from Skerrit’s office on his visit to Ghana.
Chilax folks!!! Ain’t nothing to see here but normal diplomatic bonding between sons of Africa who history and imperialism (slavery) conspired to separate.
Perhaps some would be more thrilled to see the PM rubbing elbows with Putin or the multi-indicted Agent Orange.
I know many here were looking forward to snapshots of the PM commensurating with President Akufo-Addo; however, let not your hearts be troubled as it is very common for a Ghanaian VP to rub elbows with a foreign head of state.
Do not be alarmed and distracted by the “nothing burgers” of life but do stay focused and highly concerned about the real and tangible issues that adversley affects your quality of life in this deception and mirage of a paradise.
Perhaps he spent all that travel money in order to get supplies for our run down hospitals and health centres. Maybe not, maybe be opened another person bank account and made a substantial cash deposit. We just don’t know. Nowadays we are not even told when this gangster leaves the island. He just takes the ‘Mickey’ out of all of us.
Do not come back in the country he built after Maria.All lazy blood suckers will continue living in the dog house.No one political party,no coalition political parties,no prodigal sons and aholes can remove DLP from power.
Thay man Roosevelt Skerrit is really a 🌟.This man who built Dominica with his blood,sweat and tears ain’t going nowhere untill we say.The blue acolytes have no teeth,all they do is bark,but they cannot bite.They have been barking for 24 years,and they will continue to bark for another 15.The voice of the people is the voice of God.No razor grass can cut Skerrit r++.
The President had no time for skerrit, so he passes him on to the VP. That ”speaks volume. The VP can’t tell the difference between Dominica and the Dominican republic. That is a pure diplomatic blunder., I guess they do not have proper protocol just like Dominica.
But wait nuh How comes Skerro didn’t request to meet wiff the head of State or wait nuh how comes the Head of State didn’t meet wiff Skerro,,,
See Vice President dude said is Skerro dat reached out to him “This afternoon, I welcomed, to the Jubilee House, H. E. @SkerritR, Prime Minister of Dominica, who called on me, for a mutually-beneficial discussion between our two countries,” Dat statement is subject to much interpretation wi???
DNO how comes allyou doesn’t ambush Skerrit when he come back in-country and force him to make a press conference as to what he went out of the Country for Tax payers money,,,
Even Biden when he leaving and coming back into the US he must give an account of what he go and do on The People’s behalf,,,
So dere you have it Skerro is a lickle boy so he cannot meet wiff Dem Bigger boys like Presidents and the likes he have to call on Vice President
Why make silly assumptions with your imagination to satisfy your partisan
political beliefs. You do not have the facts or reason as to why The President of Ghana did not receive The PM. You must also not make comparison with your imagination about The PM to other Leaders.
When last did you see, President Biden hold a press conference after coming from an oversees trip with The press, and by the way if he does, he sends the Press Secretary, a spin doctor to answer questions from The Press. Press conferences are held every other week by the PM, depending on his schedule, no spin doctor to represent him, so long for your interpretation and assumption.
Skerrit cannot establish effective and reliable aviation between Dominica and the OECS countries which are in close proximity…..How then can Skerro do so with Ghana which is on the other side of the continent……
I believe this has con artist written all over it.
Mister looking for something else !!!!!
It’s only propaganda. Pure propaganda, to justify his miserable existence. This so called Prime Minister is as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.
Skerrit cannot establish effective and reliable aviation between Dominica and the OECS countries which is in close proximity….How then can Skerro do so with Ghana which is on the other side of the continent……:lol:

Mister looking for Something else!!!!!!!
he who laughs last will laugh the best
you can’t defend Skerrit in court and you can’t comment on de trip in any positive way.
you can’t say what was done or said
You hate some of his actions and actors but you just prefer to roll in
“a mutually beneficial discussion”
It was not described as an official state visit………he met with the Vice-President not the actual President…..interesting
And de Vice President made de announcement on his X account no real official announcement
I wonder who else accompanied Skerrit on that trip….no foreign minister…I didn’t hear of any official trip to the African Continent or Ghana.
There may be more to this story
I don’t trust Skerrit
tax payers money that allow him to make that trip
So Gangsta (Gaston) Brown try his scheme with the Nigerian airlines and straight flight from West Africa to Antigua and look now Skerrit want to try something similar with Ghana to Dominica, smh
Diplomatic relations with the West African nation of Ghana, which was the first sub-saharan country on the Continent to to become independent from colonial rule, is long overdue. let’s hope something concrete will come out of th PM’s timely interaction with the vice president.
there are so many countries we have diplomatic relations with and not done any begging yet. I guess this is what we are doing now. Seeing what we get from them
“There has been no word yet from Skerrit’s office on his visit to Ghana.”
Per a well known expression, Rome’s emperor at the time, the greedy and ineffective Nero, fiddled and played music while Rome burned. But at least, Nero remained in Rome. One wonders if the PM was looking for a golden Accra in Ghana?
SKERRIT is the one.Those UWP acolytes are so dunce,the brought Anil Roberts to Dominica to tear down Roosevelt Skerrit and destroy Dominica.Instead he heaped praises on Skerrit and Dominica,and left those blue,shameless aholes with their tail between their legs.
Dominicans look out skerrit following the Gaston Brown play book ,do’nt forget what happen to the africans who payed so much money to come to antigua promise them jobs when they got there , that was not true.
The people are stranded in antigua so look out africans coming your way, they are looking for a transit point to get to america , you talking about haitians ,africans migrate more than haitian .
Oh boy the boss is desperate. Down to Ghana. My boy I presumed is at arms length with Karma. My boy you can just take the bullo B$4.6 and stash it between you and Karma. Too much paper to go through Karma can never touch you. You bypassed Brussels where they have confiscated your power and you watched down unto to The Hague where you will soon end up. Ghanaians have no idea of an existence of a Chichi anywhere around the world and mark you Ghanaians are very smart. After Ghana we’ll see you in Cameron and then Benin where you will take your bath and remain for 21 days. Please do not come back.
