Prime minister Roosevelt Skerrit is currently out of state on private business.
Skerrit told reporters following the signing of an agreement between the Government of Dominica and the AID Bank on Thursday, that he would be out of State from Friday, August 25, 2017, for a few days “to settle my son in university so I have to exercise my responsibility as a parent.”
Reginald Austrie is acting Prime Minister.

Mr Skerrit,
Dominica is a beautiful island. People around the world know about it and it’s peaceful, wonderful and kind people.
Dominica has all the ingredients to be a self surficient island. Without selling all it’s resources to the highest bidders. Also
considering how many Dominicans around the world are making themselves known and sending their love to their countrymen and women in this time of need.
I find it very sad that Mr Skerrit never seems to be in Dominica? Always seems to be out doing business (selling passports)
? People in Dominica have every right to know what he is doing on their behalf, as he represents them? Once again people
are suffering, in pain,No roofs! They are in Dominica standing strong.You are the leader of Dominica,..Where are you,..where are you! your people ask.
Have some respect for your people! We see you crying to the world because you lost some assets,.. not with the people.
Do the right thing resign,leave and let…
I ask one simple question hope I can get an answer “where were u the week after the accident in Pennville?
…none of your damned business!!!!
I agree with you they too bleddy fast
Well that’s the expected answer. That’s why the tribe got sold when big chief returned they asked “where were you oh great chief and he said “none of your business! !” Not knowing they were already sold lol. Jus trying to figure out why u can’t say where u going every time instead of sometimes plus I doh know where u going in ur official capacity but u want to tell me ur personal travels? Not no bottom brains with allyu na lol
Do this lack of respect and rudeness for a PM only occur in Dominica? Shame and disgrace!
You forgot you are addressing the Prime Minister of Dominica. Does he owe you a reason and reply?
Actually, it is none of your business!
Why are people always so negative about their own country man he said he is going to take care of his kid
that should be enough
It’s because Skerrit made it so Wallace. After 14 years we are still in the hit. Come on man!
A you for real ! .it’s more to answer questions by the US Government so stop been foolish. and use your brains and common sense. My Dominicans it’s about time you stop the PM and his nonsense .
Please don’t dirty the linen, and then tell us not to wash it in public. I SHALL not listen to you!!!!
SKERRIT MUST GO
SKERRIT MUST GO
SKERRIT MUST GO NOW
You do not determine when Skerrit goes. You can only vote one time.
The majority of Dominicans voted for him to stay because unlike you they see progress in the Country. Continue with your chant “SKERRIT MUST GO” because I am not sure you have enough commonsense to know that when people constantly preach negativity it forces others to really take a close look to see if what they are talking about is real, and in your case it just sound like you are a hater and you close your eyes to what is happening in Dominica. Please give us a valid reason and we will entertain your slogan other than that you are just making useless noises. Keep Skerrit alive by chantingSKERRIT MUST GO. I love it, because we will determine next election not you. For now we are not listening to your empty chant.
Well said. Till 2037 he leaving when he retire. let them wait.
Exactly two years ago, on August 25-27, are 3 days in our history that we must never forget, and I am no surprised that PM Skerrit is on the run again! On August 25 and 26, Prime Minister Roosevelt SKerrit was seen in photos in Macau, eating, drinking, cutting cake and signing documents on behalf of Dominica with NG, to further assist NG Lap Seng bribe politicians and UN ambassadors https://dominicanewsonline.com/news/homepage/news/politics/linton-calls-on-pm-skerrit-to-come-clean-on-ng-lap-sang/. Then it was while he was on his way to Dominica on August 27, two years to date, the very corrupt prime Minister got stock and had to be given helicopter assistance, after Erika destroyed us and killed many of our fellow citizens. But see where he told us he was “Perhaps it was by pure coincidence that I was on my way back home from an International UN Conference on closer cooperation between the countries of the Global South and with countries of the Global North.” U hear Lies!
Let’s recap our history: On August 25 & 26, 2017, PM Skerrit was seen in photos eating, drinking, dancing, cutting cake and signing documents with NG Lap Seng and co, as seen here https://dominicanewsonline.com/news/homepage/news/politics/linton-calls-on-pm-skerrit-to-come-clean-on-ng-lap-sang/.
On August 27, the same day Erika destroyed us, PM was on his way to Dominica and got stock in St. Lucia, like the good story of the rebellious Balaam that was on his evil mission with the ass Num. 22:21-31. As we know, the man was given helicopter ride and a heros welcome at the airport, while DA was destroyed and many had perished.
Three weeks after Skerrit’s trip to Macau, Sep. 19 2015, NG Lap Sen and all those Skerrit was with were all arrested, except Skerrit. We saw plea deals and on July 27, same day Skerrit had his big budget address, NG Lap Seng found of all counts!
August 25-27, Skerrit decides to run out of Dominica and this time he says is to take care of his son. Y U lying so?
Where were you on August 25-26 2015, and who invited you to Macau? Here you told us “Perhaps it was by pure coincidence that I was on my way back home from an International UN Conference on closer cooperation between the countries of the Global South and with countries of the Global North (which in recent history have been the dominant nations of the world) when Tropical Storm Erika struck our beloved country on Wednesday 26th August”, https://dominicanewsonline.com/news/homepage/news/general/pm-skerrit-addresses-the-nation/ But since the arrest of NG Lao Seng and all those you were seen in photos with, and the conviction of NG Lap Seng, we are getting to know the real truth.
In an effort to hide and run from the truth, on August 25, 2017, which means you will be out on 26th and the 27. This is the memorial or anniversary of the events of 2015, and once again, like a rolling stone you disappeared again. Unortunately this time Q95 booted Angelo, so we will never Know where U were
“stuck”. I expect this is what you meant.
Running Stone
You sound like a HATER. Why don’t you add something constructive to this forum
I see the pm taking a page from the wise
Honourable mr Lennox Linton Very good
Wise?????? Lol you must be foo.
Mr. Skerrit for 17 years you haven’t done it… You have left dominica and is upon your return Dominicans knowing that you were out. My advise to you is… Don’t change your ways now… We have become accustome to you being a dictator… Please I don’t like the new you!!!!
It doesn’t matter what you think its not important.
By the way, does anybody know how many children Skerrit has fathered?
What does it matter how many children Skerrit has? I am sure you can do a google search to find the answer, instead of using your time uselessly
thats not your business!
It is if our tax money has to maintain them.
If we asked you how many have you fathered/mothered and other matters which DNO might not publish?
It appears some of you have nothing and intelligently so to write on DNO.
The PM’s business is his. It is no one’s business. Mind your own business and have respect.
Is it a university in the U.S.A. , or is this a secret also?
ME my response to your comment is Google it. I am sure you are one of those who are always on face book. Do not depend on us for your information. The internet is at your finger tips, USE IT WISELY.
I hope you did not travel on a diplomatic passport.
And where were you the week before? Your private business is exactly that your private business. I am more concerned when you “disappear” from the country and no one knows where you go and what you went to do
That is why he appoints someone to run the country in his absence. Maybe you should find out who it is most likely it is Reginald Austrie and he will address all concerns that you have since you are so interested in Skerrit whereabouts
Like really???? What passport does the prime minister, president or Governor possess????? Got to the doctor and ask him if you have a brain!
WOW shame on you people. cold blooded people. Thank God I am not a Dominican.
Dominica has all types just as other countries. These are projecting their ignorance and wickedness which is putting it mildly.
can you please tell us where you went the sunday of the accident of the five firstborn sons also,that also hindered you from mourning with a people you pretend you sooooo love , But when chaves died, You were there,all the way, and a lot of your other friends died, You were there, what was so urgent this time, A trip you never even announced Mr skeritt, I know that you are a man in black, and you see around corners, But ,did you really see around this corner,and can you please tell us what was in the road?and what did this guys saw?
in hind sight I hope that is not a sneaky jibe at the Hon.Lennox Linton.
Was it so hard to do PM ? did it take anything away from you ?
What you do with your private business, is none of our Dam business. You find it necessary to tell Dominicans when you going out on private business, but when you use state finance to go all over the world for state business, you refuse to even say where you are going. All that have to change.
100% correct.
SKERRIT MUST GO
SKERRIT MUST GO
SKERRIT MUST GO NOW
Harvard university, one in Dubai, Venezuela, or where you send most of your Sons and daughters, Cuba?. Is his university Education finance by the state?
Come On telemaque, are you real? Let’s live the kids out of that. I share similar concerns about the PM and the way he governs but the kids are a no no. Let’s live them out, I think it’s unfair to them.
HAHAHAHAHA…. ok dad
Mr. P.M. what was so hard about that
Great. That’s a father’s heart. Wish you a safe and wonderful trip Sir.
Don’t overdo it. I appreciate he tries to take care of his son but I hope he invited his mother also.
Why should he invite the mother? The mother can go on her own. Is she not a grown woman? Is so you all like to start things. The man is married to another woman, let him deal with his wife . He had a son with another woman, yes….the relationship is over and over for years now. He is now situating his son in college as every parent is. The mother on the other hand should likewise do the same on her part. I don’t see any reason why he ‘the PM’ should invite the mother. Next thing you all will have pictures floating around saying that Skerritt is back with his EX. Wicked people
That is a very uneducated comment. It is not because there is a comment section at the end of every article you are inclined to post a comment. You can read and move on.
Of course, the young man have a not only a father but also a mother. Is that father and mother that made that child so why should the mother not be included? Should the father ignore the mother now, act as if the woman he made that child with does not exist? Be real.
Is it because of the EXEMPLARY LEADERSHIP, of LLL Leader Lennox Linton,(the man who has you like a confused headless chicken) reporting to Dominica and the world about their sojourn in China? Its pellucidy clear that honourable Linton is showing you and your 17 other misleaders what leadership is all about.Its clear that you are not a leader.This SURPRISE that you told people that you would be out,has caused rain to fall in torrents.Keep piling the pressure honourable Linton.GOOD JOB!
SKERRIT MUST GO
SKERRIT MUST GO
SKERRIT MUST GO NOW
What does a father move to ensure a sons education have to attract such negative comments. Leadership by example is the best Leadership of all. People like you who support dead beat dads should take note.
How is Lennox a good leader: Because he does not have a clue to simple parliamentary procedure. School children know how to conduct meetings. As the “leader’ of the opposition he should know about this. He does not even know the difference of “point of order or point of clarification” , does not have a clue about the procedures of the House of Assembly. He does not even know anything about diplomatic manners: writing the Queen, sending copies of letters to the USA ambasador crashing a heads of government conference, and getting convicted by the privy counsel for lieing. Is that the leadership example you are thinking about. You are either an idiot or a fanatic who is just operating with a wicked mind, just like your friends Bogaroy and Kenneth Rijerk.
Don’t be a fool and show it for the world to see
@ Emile Zapato Emile Zapato Honourable Linton’s brightness, ability to speak and fine leadership skills is not something he had to ask you to bestow upon him. He acquired these qualities naturally. Why are you jealous of that. JUST CONGRATULATE THE MAN.
SKERRIT MUST GO
SKERRIT MUST GO
SKERRIT MUST GO NOW
Honestly, you sound deranged. Every time you include the last three lines in any of your blogs you just sound unhinged.
Tone down the rhetoric a bit my dear. Make some reasoned, well thought blogs and maybe people will “like” your comments more.
I seems to be getting to you though! Like a constant drip on stone will gradually wear it away, no matter how hard the stone (…or stony the heart in this case?)
UWP GO HO ME. Useless Wicked People! %. Achung!
I presume you meant Achtung! A German command meaning Attention, meant as a warning that resonates with the infamous Nazi era under the “Fuehrer”, which literally translates as “Leader”. Is there a subconscious connection perhaps with anyone that you may consider a Leader with the same dictatorial tendencies and intolerance of dissent as Herr Hitler?
I know his son is in the US. If it is true that Skerrit is going to the US I don’t believe he is going to take care of son; I more believe he went to visit with NG Lap Seng and he will be greeted by some members of the FBI, as they keep eye on NG Lap Seng, his very good friend. No wonder he could not say how long he was going to be out for
Who cares what you believe. Skerrit is a grown man who is the prime minister but also is entitled to a private life. You UWP supporters sound like illiterates and uneducated fools. Always boring people with your idiotic comments, false assumptions and idiotic thoughts. I wish one day everyone would get an education and use their analytic skills to foster good in the country. God help Dominica
What pressure is Linton piling? He is pililing pressure on his supporters, keeping them perplexed.; they do mot know what to expect. One moment he is upset at Skerrit’s actions then out of the blue he supports and follows Skerrit’s actions. Since you brought up China I am informing the Dominica public at large that China knows Linton’s history and that is why they would not take a chance to give him money because that money would possibly end up paying a lawsuit.
LLL? Those initials don’t look that good.
Baseless comments. What does politics has to do with this guy taking care of his sons school responsibility? I have some work for idling minds. Would you be interesting in making some money to get your mind occupied sensibly?
Money is never a substitute for genuine care and love.
% no one is paying any attention to your comment SKERRIT MUST GO. Find another slogan.
Obviously, you are paying attention!
% We the educated Dominicans both at home and abroad are tired of hearing SKERRIT MUST GO. It is time you find a different slogan for no of us are paying any attention to you. The masses will decide next election where he goes. so by you always posting the same thing it is redundant.
I am not tired of hearing from %, aka Rose Valley, aka Ronald B. Charles aka Norway Rat (NEW Name) friend of Borgaroy and Keneth Rijerk. He like his friends have nothing to offer. His aim to boost his party. UWP is falling on rocks. He is now trying to make me Latin( I have French heritage). That is in fact a complement even though its fake news. So let him continue with his litany of Skerrit must go. Its harmless, just like the UWP.
@ % you must be really idle…. please find work to do and stop wasting your breath on the PM. Are you envious of him or something? I mean you go on and on as if that is all you know to say. Some people are just impossible!
How can anyone be jealous of a man imprisoned in a golden cage, who has a need to be surrounded by armed security 24/7 in a small poor country like ours where he claims everybody loves him. I am asking you brother? Pierro or Rosie was not rich like him but they could enjoy themselves freely among their people. They were the true labourites. Skerrit is a sad character.
