Veteran prosecutor Clement Joseph has been appointed as the new Director of Public Prosecutions, set to assume office next Monday, May 19.
Joseph, who hails from Marigot, Dominica, brings an impressive legal background to the role. He most recently served as Director of Public Prosecutions in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
The incoming DPP holds multiple advanced degrees including an LLM, an LLB with Honors, a Legal Education Certificate, and a Bachelor of Science. His diverse experience includes working within Dominica’s prosecution service before 2017, when he was elevated to the acting DPP position in Turks and Caicos.
In an interesting career trajectory, Joseph began his professional journey as a police officer in his native Dominica.
The appointment concludes an extensive search process initiated following the departure of former DPP Anthony Armstrong, who stepped down amid allegations of professional misconduct in Jamaica. Since Armstrong’s exit, Shannon Jones-Gittens has been serving in an acting capacity.

Clement congratulations. I remember you from me days at DA Vibes… A prophet is NEVER honored in his own land. Welcome

Always a foreigner. Foreigners running the top news agencies in antigua. Foreigners heading ABS. Foreigners heading ANtiguanews. Foreigners owns antiguanewsroom. Foreigners at Clarevue hospital. So what happen to out local people? They dumb?
Hmmmmm Congratulations i guess but my contention is like Sandra said….Always foriegners heading our top positions. Police Commissioner was Atlee from Dominica. Port Manager Darwin from Dominica. These Dominicans have some serious voovoo on Gaston why they are at the helm of our most serious organisations
Clement Joseph is a professional. Very capable and qualified to take up this job.
He is a Caribbean man, both a CARICOM and OECS national.
This “foreigner” talk has no place in the conversation.
Congratulation to you my brother. Very proud of you bro. May the GOOD LORD continue to bless you.
Congratulations sir
