Roseau South MP Joshua Francis wants police to investigate unlawful statements made by PM Skerrit

​Roseau South MP and Attorney Joshua Francis, wants a formal investigation launched into statements made by Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit.
 
Francis says in an official address to the nation on 24th February 2017, Mr Skerrit breached the Sexual Offences Act 1 of 1998 of the Laws of the Commonwealth of Dominica.
 
Section 38 of the Sexual Offences Act, Act 1 of 1998 prohibits any matter that is likely to lead members of the public to identify a person as the complainant or as the accused in relation to a charge with an offence under this Act, subject to an exception by operation of law.
 
In his address, PM Skerrit said "an elected member of our parliament has been issued with and holds a diplomatic passport and was arrested and charged last year for a very serious sexual offense against a minor".
 
He further indicated that those who march in the streets have absolutely nothing to say in terms of what should be done in relation to that member of parliament.
 
Francis says the Prime Minister was very irresponsible, reckless and or grossly negligent and ought to have known better as the head of the Executive branch of the Commonwealth of Dominica.
