Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has raised concerns over a statement by UWP leader Dr Thomson Fontaine on the Citizenship by Investment program. 

Fontaine said last week that a UWP Government would phase out the CBI  since the program has been heavily scrutinised abroad.

However, Mr Skerrit says the statements by Fontaine are ill-advised as the CBI program has rescued Dominica, especially after Hurricane Maria in 2O17.

Fontaine spoke at a Roseau North meeting over the weekend.
