Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has warned Dominicans that they should not delay the process of electoral reform for Dominica. He was speaking during the public consultation on electoral reform for Dominica at Salybia on Wednesday night. This brings to an end a series of public consultations giving Dominicans an opportunity to voice their concerns in discussion on the Dennis Byron Report.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe should not seek to hold back the process of bringing in issues of constitutional reform that will require referendums, to cause there to be a delay in the implementation of some fundamental aspects of the discussions we will be having in Dominica,\u201d Mr. Skerrit said.<\/p>\n
He continued, \u201cI am saying to us, be careful that we do not delay the process unduly by bringing up issues that we never raised in the consultations with Sir Denis Byron and then bring them as new issues in an attempt to hold back the process.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister reiterated that personally he wants reform for Dominica and he \u201c[wants] it fast.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Government wants it like yesterday and the Labour Party wanted it in 2016,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
In fact, he suggested to the Dominican public that they should give consideration to the critical aspects of the reform and advance those.<\/p>\n
Caribbean Jurist Sir Dennis Byron was tasked by the Government of Dominica to be the sole commissioner to advance efforts towards electoral reform in Dominica. His final report was presented to various groups and organizations including NGOs, media houses, churches, political parties, trade unions among others at a function held at the State House Conference Centre on Wednesday, June 21.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has warned Dominicans that they should not delay the process of electoral reform for Dominica.
