Lara arrives in Dominica post Tropical Storm Erika

Lara is on island as a special envoy sent by Trinidad’s newly sworn in Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley.
He promised his country’s assistance to the island.
“You are family and when you suffer we suffer, and we are here to help,” Lara said at a special ceremony held at the Canefield Airport upon his arrival. “We stand in solidarity with the people of Dominica during this challenging time.”
He said Rowley had great concerns for Dominica.
“I am here to really have a look,” he remarked. “My prime minister has great concerns for Dominica at this time and it is demonstrated by my presence here today. I know I am not going to like what I see and, as I said, if you suffer we are suffering as well, and I will be taken back home with messages and everything I see that is happening in Dominica.”
