NASSAU, Bahamas — Garvin Gaskin yesterday became the first constitutionally appointed independent director of 
public prosecutions (DPP) in The Bahamas, the Nassau Guardian reported on June 12.
Gaskin has had a “distinguished” career as a public prosecutor in the Office of the Attorney General.
Parliament passed the Constitution Amendment Bill 2017 last November, paving the way for the new office and fulfilling a Free National Movement campaign promise to remove certain powers from the attorney general and transfer them to an independent public prosecutor.
During a ceremony at Government House, Gaskin pledged to serve “impartially, transparently” and with a “clinically objective approach with a lack of political fear or manipulation”. https://thenassauguardian.com/2018/06/12/gaskin-is-first-independent-dpp/
