​According to Thomas Letang, General Secretary of the Dominica Public Service Union, holding the position of president and the position he currently holds as General Secretary of the DPSU, requires a lot of sacrifices that can have a negative impact on one's life, both now and in the future. He says, in other words, it means allowing the person's life to change course, because much compromising must be done.

​Letang continued by saying that people must also be aware of the positions within the public service that an independent public service commission appoints,in accordance with the constitution, and those that the prime minister must express no disagreement with, in order for those appointments to be made.

Businessman Anderson Jolly cautions Dominicans to actively improve their preparedness, by proactively anticipating and mitigating against what may lie ahead, rather than be chasing the aftermath of mishaps.
 
Jolly says something is considered bad when it occurs three or four times; yet, in our situation, it looks more crucial, as problems keep getting worse. He emphasizes the significance of having individuals in charge of overseeing operations and actively anticipating and controlling what is ahead in the next months.

He observes that one of the problems is our propensity to handle issues as they arise in the present, and then move on to the next one. Jolly argues that rather than chasing after problems, we should take proactive steps to better prepare ourselves and mitigate against them.

​Social Scientist, Simeon Joseph contends that an essential question is whether indeed the DLP government contributed anything meaningful to Dominica's economic expansion over the past 22 years.
 
Joseph said Dominica's tourism industry is not going anywhere, the restaurant industry is still struggling, hotel occupancy is low and not rising, and the cultural industries are clamoring for a platform. He observed that things that should be promoted and developed for tourism are not being given attention or highlighted.

We frequently refer to them as our constitutional rights when we talk about our "rights." This is a poor terminology choice since it indicates wrongly, in the minds of many, that our rights are derived from the constitution. According to Dr. Thomson Fontaine, political leader of the UWP, government should foster citizen independence by providing an environment that supports the private sector and optimized by it.

He points out that the government behaves in ways that go against what it is supposed to do, yet the populace has become accustomed to this conduct and views it as normal. When describing the situations that we are always dealing with, Dr. Fontaine exclaims that he is at a loss for words.

​According to Steve Joseph, president of the Dominica Public Service Union (DPSU), when various crises occur in the nation, more public officers, such as those who work in the health, security, and safety sectors, respond than the private sector, because they have a role to play in fostering the economy. He added that this is testimony to public sector officers' significant roles in Dominica's society.

Joseph continued by saying that, in his opinion, inflation and the recession have reduced the value of the dollar, and can be ascribed some, but not all of blame for the large decline in Dominica's revenue.

According to Thomas Letang, general secretary of the Dominica Public Service Union (DPSU), if the economy collapses in the future, public officers and their families will be the ones who suffer the most because they are not given the tools they need to do their jobs successfully, and they are not paid appropriately to enable them to be financially stable, and their working conditions are not up to par.

Letang continued by saying that when public officials ask for raises, it is frequently claimed that it is not possible due to the state of the economy, but as soon as they leave the room where the salary talks take place, announcements are made from the very same government—even if it isn't the same person making them—claiming that Dominica is doing well.
