Rallies call for resignation of Attorney General in Dominica

Roseau, Oct 6 (Prensa Latina) A week of rallies have been calling for the resignation of Attorney General Levi Peter for inappropriate comments towards the opposition presidential candidate Anette Sanford.

One of protesters, former president of the Dominica Nurses Association Rosie Felix explained that Peter’s words referring to Stanford “as a drumstick,” were among the most disrespectful actions by parliamentarian.

The attorney general attempted to defend himself as he offered apologies, claiming that his comments were taken out of context.

Even, Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit involved in the matter to urge everyone to move on.

Skerrit said it was best to accept Peter’s apology and clarification, and argued that the comment did not warrant resignation.
