UPDATE: New DPP Wayne Rajbansie arrives in the Virgin Islands
The new DPP is slated to begin work shortly.
Rajbansie, a former Assistant DPP in his homeland of Trinidad, who had worked at the Office of the DPP for 12 years, had initially applied for the post of DPP before Roger Gaspard was chosen over him.
Mr. Rajbansie, tendered his resignation from the DPP’s office in late 2009 amidst talk of him leaving as a result of not being able to secure the position of DPP which he had previously applied for.
He, at the time had cited “new challenges” as the reason for leaving his post. He subsequently went into private practice as a defense attorney. Rajbansie had been a State Attorney since graduating from law school in 1997.
The former Director of Public Prosecutions in the VI was Ms. Elizabeth Hinds whose contract came to an end in June of this year but was asked to stay on until a new DPP was in place; many observers felt she was unsuitable for the post.
