I hope he gets some good bush medicine in Kigali for his chronic symptoms of his (he knows what). In Kigali the Tutsi are the best. Remember this young lady who stated that the dilapidated tool smelled so bad she used Dettol, jeyes and Clorox to sanitize her mouth? De ting smelled. I wonder what happened to that mouth after that terrible mix.
Away he goes for another jolly at our expense. When are we going to stop this man and bring him down to earth?
Bobby, the media should bring attention to this issue involving the wanton waste of taxpayers’ dollars without any transparency or accountability.
This pattern of financial abuse by the plutocrats in power will continue until the abusers feel the collective outrage of the masses including the do nothing, lazy media.
Wherever there is an unresponsive, passive set of electors, combined with a comatose, indolent media, the incumbent regime will continue to rest on their laurels and abuse their positions.
No stimulus, no reprieve from the astronomical rise in inflation, but one, corrupt man and his acolytes go country hopping all over the world every week at the expense of taxpayers.
Let’s not forget that after the religious and political had crucified Jesus, they left his lifeless body well covered and went to the temple to keep their religious Sabbath.
PM what do you know about the killing of Keyan Alexander, the only person that could help us find Kenisha Ettienne?
PM do you know if Kenisha’ blood was sacrificed?
We need answers pM and Dominicans are in pain
When politicians start thinking in terms of cost and benefit, then we will be on our way to success.
This lot never had any conscience at all. Their elections are rigged. Therefore their authenticity is doubtful. Life under Skerrit is almost worse than slavery. Dominica is making no progress, and is losing its best people fast.
Soon Dominicans will leave the carcass of Dominica for Skerrit .
What commonwealth? Do just a little research at least. Why does this guy keep making a genius out of Mia Morley?
To Ibo MALAPROP France and Toto, when the fox could not get the grapes it sad they were sour. Get a life you two. You both seem to be two maniacs.
Almost every week or at least bi-weekly, Roosevelt hops on an iron bird and flies to some foreign land.
He is always accompanied by a large entourage which is a huge financial burden on the treasury.
Can DNO or any other local media house unearth how much Roosevelt travels have cost the country (2022) so far? It has to be countless $millions for airlines, hotels, chauffeurs, food, et cetera.
This is squander-mania of the taxpayers’ hard earned dollars as many members of Roosevelt’s high maintenance delegations just go for the joyride.
No other prime minister in the entire Caribbean has a busier overseas itinerary than Roosevelt who brings back to Dominica nothing but empty promises. His recent travels to the UAE, Pakistan, Venezuela, USA, Cuba and Guyana have yielded nothing for the country.
Don’t forget their perdiem tax free allowance on top of that. I don’t know how much that is today my friend but it must be a pretty penny but alas for some enough is never enough.
How can the autocrat live such a lavished life while Jimbo, Penny man live in unimaginable squalor, and so many fellow Dominicans are sleeping on cold concrete completely exposed to the elements?
Has he had his conscience surgically removed?
Another tax payer funded excursion vacation camouflaged as a “fact finding mission” Does yours truly ever stop wasting tax payers money on vacations helping to prop up fellow dictators? He is abusing the tax payers of Dominica for his personal gain and financial enrichment.
The Dominican people like him wasting their money that’s why they keep electing him.
Boy oh boy, wonderboy is meeting up with his partner in crime suchay-sell again this time in Kigali, where bad-boy Boris Johnson and his sidekick Piti Patel want to send asylum seekers to Britain on a one-way ticket. It cheaper to buy a Dominican passport, get into U.K. visa free and disappear into the diaspora there, Honestly. Maybe our boy will advise suchay-sell for a small commission and everybody happy ever after. But what really worries Toto is our wonderboy spending less and less time in his own country. Maybe it too small for him now and people too little. You cannot pick feathers from a scrawny poule – ni, after all.
Roosevelt should officially be designated a tourist in Dominica. A few weeks ago he flew to Cuba; next was Guyan;, then to the USA; and now to Rwanda. Each time with a mammoth posse of deadweight.
There is no accountable or transparency of tax dollars spent to finance these frequent escapades. What next for him, outer space?
The saddest thing of all is the citizens remain stoically unconcerned about this. The media doesn’t even say as much of a whisper. Dominica is really unique.
The saddest thing is you having the opportunity on DNO to write such nonsense every possible days, next step for you is yes you guessed it.
