THE search for this country’s Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is on, again.

The vacancy in this country’s Judicial and Legal Service was advertised in the newspaper yesterday.

Interested persons are expected to submit their applications for the post by November 20, the advertisement stated.

This country’s last substantive DPP was Geoffrey Henderson who left the post when he became a High Court judge on January 5.

Henderson had been DPP for six years prior to his departure.

Deputy DPP Carla Brown-Antoine acted as this country’s DPP following Henderson’s elevation to the High Court bench.

However February 16, six weeks into her acting, Prime Minister Patrick Manning vetoed Brown-Antoine’s appointment to even act in the post.

Two day’s after that Manning reversed his objection to Brown-Antoine’s appointment.

Brown-Antoine acted as this country’s DPP before she too was elevated to the High Court bench.

During her 20-year professional career Brown-Antoine had always been with the DPP’s office.

On September 18, Browne-Antoine made her debut in the Civil Court.

Deputy DPP Roger Gaspard was given a three-month stint to act as DPP following Brown-Antoine’s departure.

’Persons who applied previously and who are still interested are requested to reapply,’ the advertisement stated.

The DPP post carries with it a basic salary of $26,300 with allowances totalling some $21,100, the advertisement stated.

All applications can be forwarded to the Director of Personnel Administration, Service Commissions Department, Judicial and Legal Service Commission Secretariat, Cipriani Plaza, Port of Spain, the advertisement stated.
