General News of Monday, 29 April 2019Source: Ghananewsagency.orgA-Gs Department trains police prosecutors and investigatorsAttorney General, Gloria AkuffoThe Attorney General’s Department of the Ministry of Justice, has organised a two-day training workshop for police prosecutors and investigators in the Eastern region. The training was on the new criminal law and procedure for thorough investigations into cases presented to the courts for trial. In that judgement, she noted that the SC stated that prosecution must disclose all evidence in their domain to the defence, before prosecution begins and therefore the police prosecutors and investigators had to be sensitised to equip them in that direction. State Attorney, Nana Gyankoma Gyaba-Mensah, who took participants through Preservation of Evidence and Exhibits and Tendering of Documents in Court, noted that often prosecutors and investigators overlooked some vital points in evidence and exhibits. She said the court was not a try and error ground and therefore exhibits and evidences in cases that were presented for prosecution must be handled well to ensure that no gaps were left in the process.
