PM on DSS 45th Anniversary

As the Dominica Social Security (DSS) today celebrates its 45^th anniversary, Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has stressed the need for the organization to sustain itself.

In an address to commemorate the anniversary, the Prime Minister highlighted a deficit in citizen contributions as compared to DSS benefit payouts.

Mr. Skerrit says however, the organization continues to contribute to society despite its income challenges.
