    Skerrit’s themes for today is (This man is a clown eh) should be “Bring back the kidnapped parrots”……”I am a Failed Prime Minister and I must Get out before its too late”, ” I apologise to Dominicans for my failure as prime Minister over the 18 years and also for my handpicked 18 failed ministers who has been silenced over these years in my incompetence, failure, immaturity and questions of corruption better known in local parlance as Bobol (for eg. Bin and Fertilizer Bobol)
    The People of Domininca Theme and cry for sametime now has been and still is: “Bring back the kidnapped parrots.
    Can someone please tell us Dominicans after listening to this short address, if anyone has a sense of what was said by this failed PM. I just comprehend the value of this short worthless address. This is like a pappyshow address just to how face after being absence on regular basis out of Dominica doing what, we don’t know. Our blessed island is under a political hurricane called Labour…

    Nothing new really, just the usual rethoric, propaganda and lies. Skerrit, we want to see the public account and the accounts of PetroCaribe. We want accountability. You have gotten away for to long with your shady dealings.

    What happened to the millions of dollars donated to Dominica from the international community? Is it in the treasury? a full accounting and audit needs to be conducted. The money may have been deposited into personal bank accounts in foreign banks by nefarious characters in government. It seems that with all those millions every house in Dominica could have been re-built after one year since Hurricane Maria. The leadership needs to be questioned about those funds and the whereabouts when they hold town hall meetings and if guilty should be held to account.

    I don’t want to watch Skerrit and his lies. The man failed Dominica so much already and is on a storm that did not even affect us he wants to score political points. tell him to keep a press conference to answer about the departure of Ross University. I and many more believe he ran them out of Dominica because he couldn’t trust them and he felt their presence always presented a doorway for the Americans to step in to protect their citizens. He needs to show us the 25yrs contract extension he signed with them 3 years ago. These are the things he needs to address. Another thing he needs to tell us if we should or should not be concerned about the upcoming US REPORT that will name and shame Caribbean countries that aided North Korea sanctions evasion program. he needs to tell us why were our sister islands got US visa waiver while Dominica Didn’t. He needs to tell us how our passport ended in the hand of a convicted Egyptian career criminal. Is the weak media that causing him to fool…

      You accuse the PM of lies and you won’t listen to him but you can write such a ridiculous comment asking ludicrous questions, it is said that the way of silly people seems right to them, for the record, The PM addressed The Nation regarding Ross departure. You are entitled to your belief as to why Ross departed, your belief is based on such nonsense, it’s conjecture.

      Why should The PM need to address an upcoming US report that will name and shame Caribbean countries that violated North Korea sanctions put by the US if Dominica is not involved. Do you really think that Caribbean countries have resources and means to aid North Korea in violating US sanctions. Where did you read about such a report. Before you ask a question you need to understand that there is a difference between a US Visa waiver and a US interview renewal Visa waiver, the latter is what Dominica is excluded. from.
