Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Renson Ingonga has come out to deny claims that the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) is being controlled by the government.
Addressing the media on Thursday, July 24, Ingonga denied any influence from the Executive, as he maintained the ODPP remained an independent body.
According to the director, prosecution targets individuals purely based on evidence which has been relayed against them. "The ODPP doesn't work under any direction or authority. And it doesnt mean that if demonstrations are against the executive when the DPP makes a decision it is from the executive," Ingonga clarified.
