Why should our citizenshop be so easy?

Following are some extracts:

No residence requirement

Under the programme a person can become a citizen of Dominica without having to reside in or even visit Dominica.

Full rights of citizenship.

……He cannot be deprived of citizenship except for fraud connected with his application.  He cannot be deported from the country and even his children born after his acquisition of citizenship are also entitled to become citizens.
A person who is the holder of a Dominica passport can travel visa free to a large number of countries including England and Switzerland.

Much has been discussed and written about my response to Mr. Astaphan a few weeks ago, including a five-page letter by Mr. Astaphan. One of the central points made relates to my refusal to print his reply in this paper. I have three reasons for that decision.

The election of the Labour government to office in Dominica seems to have coincided with an end to attempts at intelligent, pro-active participation by the other parties in the governance of the country. It will be remembered that the

I feel the frustration in your words and do not disagree in principle with your overall intuition. The difference between us is I am (whilst with reservation) not convinced overall because politics is a dirty game which has manipulated better men and women than us.
