The Public Service Commission has promoted 117 state attorneys in the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) to the rank of senior state attorney to boost the administration of criminal justice.
According to a press statement released mid this week by the DPP’s office, the promotions will motivate them and enhance prosecution service delivery in the country.
“These promotions will also pave the way for the recruitment of more than 70 state attorneys to address the longstanding staffing gap in the ODPP and further bolster the administration of criminal justice,” the press statement reads.
The newly appointed state solicitors have been in their positions for more than eight years.
