Dominica’s PM Roosevelt Skerrit’s Live Press Conference Highlights

In an attempt to address national concerns and shed light on recent events, Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit of the Commonwealth of Dominica conducted a live press conference. The event served as a platform for the Prime Minister to communicate directly with the public, providing crucial updates and answering inquiries from the media.

Impersonator Profiles on Social Media

One of the key issues addressed by Prime Minister Skerrit during the press conference was the emergence of impersonator profiles on social media platforms, specifically Telegram and WhatsApp. The public was advised not to engage with these false accounts or pay heed to any content allegedly originating from the Prime Minister.

Appointment of a Special Prosecutor

In the wake of the murders of Canadian-born hoteliers, Daniel Langlois and Dominique Marchard, Prime Minister Skerrit announced the appointment of a special prosecutor. The tragic event has led to the arrest of two American nationals who are currently in police custody. The Prime Minister commended Dominica police for their professionalism and urged the public to refrain from unfounded speculations regarding the deaths.

Remembering the Contributions of the Deceased

The Prime Minister expressed deep shock and sadness at the killings, describing Langlois and Marchard as ‘true friends of Dominica’, who had significantly contributed to the country’s development. He revealed that the government had honored Langlois with a national award during the previous month’s independence celebrations. The loss of two valued members of the community has left a significant impact, but the government is determined to ensure justice.
