New DPP Clement Joseph Vows Independence from Political Influence
Lead: Dominica’s newly appointed Director of Public Prosecutions, Clement Joseph, says he will not be used as a “political stooge,” stressing his commitment to upholding the law without interference.
Speaking on Q95 FM ahead of taking office on May 19, Joseph said his constitutional duty requires full independence. “If the government comes with something that is lawful, then fine. If it is unlawful, it is my duty to advise against it,” he said.
Joseph, a seasoned prosecutor from Marigot, Dominica, has worked in Dominica, Turks and Caicos, with a focus on financial crimes. He served as acting DPP in Turks and Caicos from 2017.
His appointment follows the departure of former DPP Anthony Armstrong, who stepped down amid misconduct allegations in Jamaica.

You intentions might be good, you might not know the demons you have to deal with
Your first test is to investigate cutie Benjamin.. let’s see how good you are at not being influenced by the government
The framers of the constitution ensured that the office was independent so that the holder of the office could not be influenced or pressured by any other person or authority. Whether that is allowed to happen is another thing. Might also be an opportunity for him to bring some order and sensibility to the police prosecutorial team as well.
That’s exactly what the office needs—integrity and independence.
All we want is fairness—no favours, no fear.
The public deserves a DPP that acts on facts, not
Who you kidding? Just go ahead and take you instructions to do the upp bus case that was thrown out, and please play the recording of the prime minister saying he move people to vote on different constituency and see if he takes steps, I know Adlai Smith would have done something so they didn’t give honest people with integrity the DPP position.
Me want the eastern Caribbean court rotate them from island to island to break the political influence over the judiciary.
