The Hon. Ajith P. Perera
Ajith P. Perera asked the Minister of Justice and National Integration whether the Government’s manifesto pledged to establish Provincial Directorates of Public Prosecution, outside the Attorney-General’s Department, to handle prosecutions on behalf of the Government. He sought confirmation that the policy is accepted and asked why such directorates have not yet been established in each province, or the reasons if the pledge is not acknowledged.
