Meantime, Salisbury MP Hector John is saddened that the DLP administration has done nothing to assist Dominica’s first Prime Minister Patrick Ronald John, who led the same DLP at the time he became the first Prime Minister of Dominica. Mr. Hector John finds this posture by the current DLP to be completely inhumane and disrespectful to the former DLP Leader and first Prime Minister of Dominica.
