As bus drivers around Dominica embark on protest action, Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has made it clear to them that neither he, nor his government, will be extorted.
Several bus drivers began protest action this morning, refusing to ply their their regular route and leaving large numbers of commuters stranded. The bus operators say they are protesting to force the government to provide “much-needed assistance” because of the financial impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the recent rise in the price of fuel on their trade.
