During engagements with staff, the DPP delivered a firm message emphasizing integrity and professionalism in the execution of prosecutorial duties.
He cautioned against corruption, highlighted the importance of evidence-based decision-making, and called for timely and high-quality prosecution of cases. He also underscored the importance of proper record management and the responsibility of prosecutors to uphold the public interest.
“We must remain steadfast in upholding integrity, professionalism, and evidence-based decision-making as the cornerstone of public trust in the justice system,” he said.
The inspection served to reinforce accountability mechanisms, identify operational gaps, and promote best practices aimed at enhancing the administration of criminal justice. While commending staff for their dedication and service, ODPP Top Management emphasized the need for continuous improvement, teamwork, and institutional growth.
