The Director of Public Prosecutions, Christopher Pryde has highlighted that through their advanced prosecution courses, the government has gained a lot of revenue through fixed penalty notices being issued by regulatory agencies.
Pryde highlighted this during his opening remarks at the launching of a four week advanced prosecution course at the Ministry of Civil Services Training Centre in Nasese, Suva.
He has encouraged the 33 participants to seek legal advice from their office in investigating and prosecuting infringements under their own specific legislation.
Pryde has also reminded them that the DPP's Office provides assistance to Government Ministries, Departments, and Councils in prosecuting matters.
He says this workshop will equip government prosecutors with the minimum set of skills to discharge their responsibilities as prosecutors in court and to set minimum standards for prosecution in Fiji.
The course will end on the 3rd of next month.
