​Dominica’s Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) recently wrote an opinion indicating that the state is no longer interested in the matter of an alleged passport fraud court case, involving former DLP Attorney General Bernard Wiltshire, and four (4) others, after 5 years.
 
This means Mr Wiltshire and others accused, are now free to return to their normal lives, after five years of anxiety and aggravation.
 
This matter has been before the courts since 2011, and was thrown out twice for want of prosecution. The so-called scam allegedly occurred between August 25, 2005 and March 31, 2011. It was reported that 40 forged passports were identified by police. 
 
However Former Attorney General Bernard Wiltshire says he knew that case would have never pulled through, as the charge brought against him was brought out of malice, and was completely false.
 
Here is the Former attorney general Bernard Wiltshire with more.

​UWP Leader Lennox Linton is of the view that there is no merit in recent statements made by ministers of government, regarding the construction of a New National Hospital in Marigot.
 
Linton believes that too much time has already gone by in creating a design for the Hospital, which was first shut down in 2014 because of a severe termite infestation.
 
At a press conference on May 6, 2015, Health Minister Dr. Kenneth Darroux said a new hospital for Marigot was still on the cards. He said “Building a new hospital for Marigot is a policy decision that government has taken. “If you look at the Labour Party manifesto, a new hospital for Marigot is to be built for a number of reasons.”
 
Linton is calling on the DLP Government to take a more serious approach toward building major facilities in Dominica.
