“I have a home, and I want the same for everyone else in this country”, said Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit

Monday, 8th July 2019

Roseau July 07, 2019, The year 2015 and 2017 has been one of the most devastating for Dominica where hundreds of people were left homeless by two extreme hurricanes. The major one took place was hurricane Maria, which led the beautiful island shattered into pieces. Hundreds of people were left homeless due to these natural disasters. Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit took all the weight on his shoulders, while delivering a speech he said, “I have a home, and I want the same for everyone else in this country”.

In a short span of time Prime Minister took accurate help of CBI (Citizenship by Investment) to get things back on track. This idea of Honourable Skerrit not only helped the countrymen in having new houses but it also succors in creating houses strong enough to fight any disastrous climate activity.

Besides this, the country’s development started to hike up with just a year after the hurricane ruined the beauty of the Island. Prime Minister also introduced the Climate Resilience Execution Agency of Dominica – also known as CREAD – as a means of tackling the climate issues affecting the island.

Dominica is known as the ‘Nature Island of the Caribbean’ and to keep this crown the current government worked hard to create reserved lands to stop the extinction of various species. However, all that has been challenging for the government but Prime Minister Skerrit made all that possible with his new techniques.

Furthermore, Dominica boasts a river for each day of the year. Waterfalls, lakes and thermal hot springs are in abundance which attracts the tourists from all over the world. To provide the tourists with the best of the facilities new International Airport is also said to be made. Not only that, various hotels are being constructed to facilitate visitors. These new constructions will help the visitors and also generate employment for citizens.
