Appearing before the National Assembly Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, DPP Noordin Haji and Public Prosecutions Secretary Dorcas Oduor said that the allocation was critical. BREAKDOWNTo enhance the graft war, the DPP wants better remuneration of staff and the hiring of competent external prosecutors where expertise is required. When they fail and the case stops or flops, the blame is always on the DPP,” Mr Haji said. For instance, money paid by banks involved in shady dealings in the National Youth Service (NYS) scandal will be returned to the service. Ms Oduor defended the arrest of suspects pending investigations, noting that it is difficult to get evidence with them in custody.
