The former Committee chairman had previously told us that that it is now up to the Office of the Prime Minister to send the report to the DPP. We know for sure that the Prime Minister, Hon. Said Musa, had gotten a copy of the report. He told the nation so in a statement on July 18. The PM also said then that he would accept all the recommendations listed therein, which meant that he also concurred that the DPP should pursue the matter of criminal charges.

So it is uncertain why the DPP has not received instruction from the Office of the Prime Minister. Over the past two days, we have been trying to find out from the Office of the Prime Minister why the DPP has not received the documents, but our attempts to get an update were futile.

Director of Public Prosecution, Kirk Anderson, is on vacation leave until the first week of September. That?s what we were told when we tried to contact him at his office on Wednesday, August 16, to find out whether he has begun his review of the Senate Special Select Committee?s report on the Social Security Board investigation.

That report released last month had recommended that the Office of the DPP review the report and relevant files to determine whether criminal charges should be filed against anyone on two matters related to the Glenn Godfrey Group of Companies:

?The Senate Select Committee is of the view that the information contained in this report in respect to the documents covering the following mortgages: Data Pro, Aquarius, Western Caribbean Properties Ltd, International Telecommunications Ltd, and the two other mortgages which were signed containing representations and warranties and other statements that is or may be misleading, false or deceptive; may amount to offenses under the criminal code chapter 101 and in particular sections 20 153(1) 164 (1) (2) , 165 (2), and recommends that the DPP pursues this matter for which the committee makes its report available to him,? the report says.

?The senate select committee is of the view that the issuance of two insurance certificates to ITL and WCPL appear to be in breach of the issuance law chapter 251 and recommends that the DPP also pursues this matter,? it adds.
