In Brussels, the Prime Minister will join his colleague Heads of OECS member states for discussions on the Citizenship by Investment Programme (CBI) with officials of the European Union.
In the Prime Minister’s absence from the state, the Minister for Health, Wellness and Social Services, Hon. Cassanni Laville will serve as Acting Prime Minister.
They were warned. The EU will be next. By 2025 the 5 Caribbean islands that sell passports will lose visa waiver with the EU if they don’t stop. The UK have given the 4 countries until Dec 2023. If not visa by Jan 2024. These 5 Government leaders got lazy. Instead of diversifying there economies they choose to sell their country birthright.
His royal highness Roosevelt Skerrit needs to provide a list to the EU of all those he sold a passport to, he may not even know. The EU is going to want to know if Skerritt sold passports to any terrorists.
Why am i hearing that the UK has put sanctions on Dominica for failing to comply with and address CBI issues? So much that Dominicans will now need a visa to visit the UK.
Why is he attending since he is one if not the worst offender. Dominicas CBI program has yielded immense wealth to a selected few and a few more white elephants and ruins for good measure. Take the Anchi Hotel which was scheduled to be completed in 2019. The Hotel should have brought many jobs and economic opportunities to the Portsmouth area. The people of Portsmouth were also promised that a portion of the revenues raised on behalf of the Anichi project would be used to build a resource center in the Chance area of Portsmouth. Today the incomplete hotel construction in Picard is another embarrassing eyesore. The number of passports that the Anichi Hotel project has received thus far is unknown. In fact the Roosevelt Skerrit administration’s policy is that the number of passports assigned to the CBI project developers is none of the citizen’s darn business. We also have no idea what these CBI funded projects cost. We demand that Skerrit accounts for all of them and the money
Oh, they don’t tell us again till after he has gone. He’d better be careful. France could arrest him as one of their citizens.
This is unquestionable, Roosevelt is a tourist in his own country. He visits Dominica for a few days then jumps on an iron bird to another destination.
How can a country be well managed with an absentee ruler? This nomad takes up temporary residence in the most luxurious hotels all over the world while most citizens in Dominica live in perennial destitution. Unconscionable!!
Ibo, Do you ever feel stupid by talking nonsense? I always wondered if by any chance ugly Lenny, pee over you because the both of you is alike with bulls**t talking everyday.
Roosevelt, by a long distance, is the most traveled of any ruler around the world. This is only the seventh month of the year and an educated guess of his per diem, presently, is well over $100K.
This StarBoy of Ignorance embarrassed himself in T&T just recently. I hope he keeps his mouth zipped so Dominica would not suffer any similar indignity.
So far he has been able to pull wool over the eyes of Dominicans while depleting the consolidate fund for self -aggrandisement. Nothing lasts forever. Hopefully soon, he will meet his waterloo.
