Three more persons have been arrested in ongoing investigations of the removal of condemned codfish from the Fond Cole Landfill.
The police have confirmed the arrests.
DNO understands the three are employees of the Dominica Solid Waste Management Corporation.
Security was breached at the landfill last Monday and the condemned codfish stolen and later sold.
This prompted the authorities to alert the public not to buy codfish on the black market.
Two individuals have been sent to prison in connection with the matter.
DNO will provide more information on this new development later.
I am wondering what was the conamination associated with this saltfish.We are used to COD saltfish. I know other fishes are salted and sold as saltfish but the taste of the fish is obviously different. Therefore, is it due to the taste of the fish this problem has arisen.? I ONLY ASK
i am not going to buy or eat any codfish for 7 months
all those sick contaminated and affect codfish dat making fast money and allu man does suck and lick it to the bone should be find and put in da landfill as well and dem man should check a doc cause all codfish is codfish and smell when sweat
Swift and decisive action
Swift and decisive action
@wat i say i say. U seems to be a very arrogant person we are talking about health if the codfish was not contaminated the authorities would not be taking this strict measures and persecuting those involve. passport and other issues will be handled at a later date so go take a hike.
Just another shocking twist in the codfishgate affaire…. Dominica news online does give me jokes yeah keep it coming I need to laugh in the mornings
Nice to see th police is ontop of this case wich i think is a matter of grave importanc cause u talking bout the posibility of the spread of diseases thougout the entire cuntry, however we want the police/law to move with th same sence of ergency in the cases involveing those in public ofice.
Its clear that the law is kind off in slow motsion when it comes to these individuals. All we asking for is transperancy. Is that to much to ask for?
America is the most corrupt country in the world but guss wat?, the government is transperent. Everything is accounted for no special favours to
anyone and even the president can go to jail if he is caught in a lie. So y can’t we do the same
they didnt even take it to eat .thay take it to make money .so to hell with who sick .
so mr cuffy know what he was talking about
What happen, they didn’t block the hole properly, according to lady B, the man just unblock the hole. Wooosh
i hearing ting on my old days wi
hmmmm such a crying shame that more people are going to be unemployed because of their desire to make a quick buck……..to go so far get codfish to make money hmmm it shows that people on a whole are simply not doing too well with the salaries they receive….cost of living too high in this little country and more and more hardworking people are gonna lose their much needed jobs foolishly……..#just my two cents
The names of the shopkeeper who bought the salt fish should have been published long ago already.
The safety of the public should come first.
i not in that.they just sent me back to thee olds day.
Guess we’ll have to wait for next year
How did the Arab Spring start Wasn’t it because the small man was fed up as after he had nothing the authorities were harassing him? Let them harass these poor people still, while the true criminals cant even reach the court. Let them bother Jammers still……
DNO FIND OUT WHO ARE THE BIG BOYS THAT TAKE TOO.
it is not only that the guys take the LAMOWI, people are hungry and yes they will eat anything… so to survive in Dominica we must engage in HUNGER GAMES… ONLY THE FITESS SHALL SURVIVE… LMAO
This has to be a joke. Salt fish that making news in DA. For how long I’ve been asking dno to do some investagitive work
On the personnel for instance that’s on these huge construction projects? Why are there no photos on projects like that to see where the money is circulating but know it seems salt fish is where the priority is!
“What I say I say” raises a concern here which made me think……Ok, two years plus and so many other criminals are getting away with other crimes, lawyers not being held to account or their actions, cases against supporters of the government being frustrated, answers from the dual citizenship case not forthcoming and so on and on and on!!!! So why is it that this one is being FAST TRACKED??? Why have the reporters been refused entry to ‘THE CELL’? Why has the minister not answered the questions to date?? Could it be my friends that there is a lot which they want to hide about the truth behind THE CELL??? Could it be that they do not want us asking questions but cannot say so openly, and so they are fast tracking this one through in order to get it out of the way quickly before TOO MANY QUESTIONS ARE ASKED???
What is really going on in THE CELL?????? HHMMMMMMMMMMM
make sure the codfish clean before you put put your mouth on it.
hmmm, people outside of Dominica reading those kinda stories, what are the going to say/think…….. hmm things that bad for people to be looking for food in the dump?? nahh, we can do better than that
Everyone involved in this are criminals as far as I’m concerned. When we finish we will blame the hospital for mis-diagnosis etc.
Go after the shopkeepers and others who bought the saltfish, and charge them too.
All of all you guilty….after all you finish suck d codfish bone…I hear dey get a pot cooking well load in Maho…mi roro…put d codfish in de bouyon and calypso
What about the passport scammers and birth certificate fraudsters ? It is approaching two years and these perps are still out there but the Lamowi bandits are receiving fast track justice. This is not meant to argialize te Lamowi and cockroach crime but to highlight the inconsistency of our justice system. I won’t even mention anything about the 42 charges so as not to create a political perception.
u could not have said it better
I agree with u.. I was wondering what happened to that matter. Don’t understand why the dislikes.
if they taking food from there, lol you should imagine what else they take from there…smh
Ok, Right about now they should offer a special license to sell codfish because no one is going to buy codfish anyway. So with the license we will know it’s authentic. lawd, look what codfish come to in Dominica.
Oh my goodness what persons will do for a few bucks….that is like manslaughter..
They do not care about the health of their fellow people. How sad. Call them heartless people who deserve due punishment.
what the police need to do now is to go behind those shopkeepers that bought the salt fish…..arrest them and sentence them, also letting DNO publish their names so patrons will not go to their shops and buy.
Support you 100%
This is if they were aware that the codfish was contaminated and illegally sold. When others approach them to purchase their products, it is always wise to question them about its authenticity.
It doesnt take much to know that employees were involved.
Because where the codfish was disposed off only employees could have known that. It was said that the codfish was disposed off in the cell ( a dip dip dip hole wii). So how could persons who are not employees gain knowledge of that.
Continue the good work officers- a job well done.
It sweeter than meat,Saaalltfish. Bolo ill take the Smoked herring For the next year. Thank you
I WILL SAVE SOME IN STOCK FOR HARD DAYS
It was obvious that the codfish was unhealthy for human consumption. Those who sold them knew that. They committed a grave crime against the State and nationals.
Im not buyin any codfish 4 6 months
I recently bought ‘codfish’ in Toronto from a grocery store. It is not yet cooked. For health purposes, should I scrutinize it?
I hope they did not find their way to Canada. God help not only Dominicans but others overseas.
I am so happy to see ACTION being taken on an issue! FINALLY! And the codfish fiasco certainly warrants action. Imagine people taking codfish out of the nastiest most foul waste area to sell to human beings to eat? Good lord!
Next is the shopkeepers who bought the codfish. If I bought a stolen cell phone, I am an accessory and the law states I must be arrested as well so it’s the same thing here.
Hays off to the law officers, for a job well done
Hats off to the law officers, for a job well done
“Hats’ off.
salfishhhhhhh, nothing in the world is sweeter than saltfish
freeness ka bi worrinesss. check your supermarket instead
Oh yeah! Well is the health officers who made that certain supermarket dispose of the saltfish because rat peepee in it. So, not even the supermarkets you can trust.
Are you sure it reached the supermarket? as far as i heard it was found out at the customs.
I am here cracking away,
I am loving this!
Why? What is your reason?
Yes i like to hear that. Them people there have to much guts to tell me all you allowing contaminiated food to live the landfill. All you dont have a heart for the innocent people. All you putting ppl life at danger, that is damn nonsense and am happy the police is on top of this serious matter.
yah bag them and jail them. wicked bunch of crooks!
These guys were trying to kill Dominicans with the contaminated codfish the people who bought it from them were just as bad. If they are shopkeepers they should be prosecuted for accepting stolen goods.
I always knew that codfish story was an inside job, an I wonder if the codfish was really buried how many feet underground hmph I guess the story is slowly unraveling
But that codfish scandal not finishing @ all then??? AA
Is a good thing I doesn’t eat codfish..lmao
Codfish, if cooked and seasoned properly could be delicious. I like the boneless one for obvious reasons; less work with having to take out the bones.
I love home cooking. You could make codfish pie with also green figs, patties, balls and other recipes with it. The fact is, this codfish was contaminated. Those who searched for it were greedy, wanting to make money on contaminated codfish and not caring about the health of others.
hhhmmmm i waiting to hear the ‘big boys’ name weee… we not interested in the small fish… eating salt fish is big man ting hhhmmmmmm
you see who wants to slow kill people for fast money.send them up .they are crimal
I knew it had to be an inside job. I would give them more jail time than the other two men.
Good job officers….there are more, so keep at it.
