Prime Minister Skerrit fake hair comment

Dominican Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit

Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Chairman, Dominican Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit may well have ‘picked a row’ with a sizeable portion of the region’s female population when he used the forum of the CARICOM Summit in Trinidad and Tobago to send a ‘less fake hair’ message to the fashion-conscious women of the Caribbean. Against the backdrop of a seemingly unstoppable avalanche of fake hair being imported into the region, Prime Minister Skeritt, in the process of making a presentation on the issue of the region’s need to reduce its volumes of extra-regional foods, threw in, for good measure, the continually rising tide of hair imports, which he correctly contends, adds considerably to the weight of an already burdensome extra-regional consumer goods’ bill.
